Chapter 221
Now that Carlos had already seen him, Tristan couldn’t just shut the door and leave. He swallowed hard and entered the office. He presented a file folder to Carlos and said, “Boss, I got this from our branch office, and there’s an urgent—”
Before he could finish his sentence, Carlos interrupted him impatiently.
“I asked you to investigate my wife. Do you know anything about her previous relationships? Who was she with? And for how long?”
“No,” Tristan answered briefly, his head Lowered. He knew he’d failed
Carlos, and was ready to accept punishment if necessary. Carlos hadn’t asked him to investigate Debbie’s relationships with other boys; he didn’t dare to do it without authorization. And this was what he was waiting for.
“Leave the file here and do what I told you to do,” he demanded coldly.
“Yes, Carlos.
“Pay special attention to her relationship with Hayden Gomez.”
“Yes, Carlos.” Tristan raised his head and was on the point of Leaving when he saw Carlos’ face. A red mark? After a closer look, Tristan confirmed that Carlos did have a red mark on his cheek. About hand- sized. His mouth widened in shock.
“Did Debbie slap him?*
“Out!” Carlos thundered.
Frightened, Tristan ran out of Carlos’ office and went back to his seat. He took a moment to slow his breathing, and patted his chest to calm himself down.
‘Oh my gosh! This is the first time Carlos has been this angry. Last time he blew his top when we lost an order worth one hundred million, but he was not this angry. But now… Women will humble the mightiest of heroes, ‘ he mused.
Now he finally understood why Carlos had exiled Emmett to the construction site. Emmett probably sided with Debbie. Even so, Tristan considered it a smart move for Emmett to build a close relationship with Debbie, in light of how much she could influence Carlos, so he decided to do the same.
Leaving the Hilton Group, Debbie hailed a taxi and proceeded to the university. But she changed her mind halfway and told the driver, “On second thought, take me to Shining International Plaza.”
Then she took out her phone, opened the WeChat app and mentioned Kasie and Kristina in their group chat.
“I’ll be waiting at our old haunt.
You guys coming?”
“Playing hookey again, Tomboy?” Dixon asked curiously.
“Yeah. I’m not in the mood. I need to blow off steam.” This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
While waiting for Kasie’s and Kristina’s replies, Debbie posted an update in Moments.
“I want…” She couldn’t finish it. She was too mad.
So she just left it that way. She couldn’t wait to get together with her friends.
Instantly, someone going by the handle commented, “What do you want?”
Initially, Debbie didn’t plan to reply, for she didn’t know who this person was. But she was really frustrated right now and wanted to vent her anger. So she replied, “I want Carlos to step barefoot on a porcupine.”
