Carlos thought glumly at her suggestion.

Debbie Looked at Carlos and said, “Your future fiancee is back. You’d best go back home. Before you go, I have a favor to ask of you. Later on, if Wesley comes to my hto take Blair back, can you cupstairs to stop him?”

Carlos furrowed his brows into a frown and snorted, “Why didn’t you think it over first before you made the decision?”

“We did. We thought you would help us.”

Carlos fell into silence. ‘So these two women had planned to useas a shield, ‘ he thought.

When Carlos didn’t respond, Debbie began to worry a little.

“Old man,

Wesley hates my guts right now. When he sees that Blair is staying with me, he’ll think that I’m turning her against him. He’ll kill me. Please help me. You’re his friend, he’ll Listen to you. Good is rewarded with good,” she said, trying to persuade him.

“If you’re so afraid of what might happen, then let her go with him.”

Carlos couldn’t understand why the two women needed to stay together

“No, I can’t,” Debbie blurted out. Then she thought for a moment, and with a mischievous glint in her eyes, she continued, “On second thought, I can Let her go with him. However, there is one problem. I’m afraid of the darkness. I’m always scared to sleep alone at night. If I let Blair go, you must come upstairs to keepcompany.” She winked discreetly at Blair when she was finished.

Taking the hint, Blair gave her a thumbs-up when Carlos wasn’t looking.

‘This girl can make an excellent negotiator. She knows that Carlos won’t agree to go upstairs and spend the night with her. That’s why she laid down that condition. That way, Carlos would have no other option but to help us.’

Carlos glanced at them both and then started to go hwith Millie.

When Carlos had returned to his apartment, Stephanie was about to go out again. Once she saw him cback, she asked gently, “I was about to go downstairs to look for you. Didn’t you plan to have dinner with

Mr. Maximilian? Why did you cancel it?”

Carlos took the leash off Millie and answered vaguely, “Because I didn’t want to go.” He only wanted to cback to walk the dog.

Stephanie was surprised by his reply. ‘That sounds willful.’ “But we could stand to make a ten million profit from our cooperation with him.”

“So? He’s a scumbag. I don’t want to do business with him.” Carlos seemed disinterested in the conversation and went to feed Millie.

Stephanie stood gaping and was Left speechless. ‘Maximilian is indeed a freak, and he did ta few years back, but is that a reason to refuse to do business with him? Besides, he wouldn’t dare try and pull the wool over Carlos‘ eyes.’

Even though Stephanie didn’t understand Carlos, she decided not to push the topic any further.

“I gave the cook the night off. I wasn’t expecting you back for dinner. Shall we eat out?”

“I have an international video conference later. Didn’t you say you wanted a manicure? I can ask Megan to go with you.” Carlos took out his phone and started to dial.

“Carlos, can you go with me? I can wait till your meeting is over so we can have dinner together,” Stephanie suggested.

“It’s going to be a long meeting. I was planning to have my dinner delivered.” He proceeded to call Megan anyway despite Stephanie’s reluctance.
