Burning Passion: Love Never Die

She was safe and sound; he was relieved.
Debbie was surprised by his silence. “Should I go and thank him?’ she wondered.
Xavier told Debbie that the police hadn't granted her bail. Many of her friends
tried to bail her out, including Ivan, Curtis and Jared, but they failed. Law
enforcement wasn't budging on this. She was a superstar, and traveled too
much. They considered her a flight risk.
Finally, Ivan was left with no choice. He called Carlos. Carlos’ assistant went
forthwith to the police station, trying to talk the bail bondswoman into letting
Debbie go. He even tried subtle intimidation, but she wasn't budging. Carlos
himself confronted an officer on vacation in a suburban resort area. They had
spent several hours drinking tea and chatting before the officer finally granted
Debbie's bail.
Debbie guessed that James was probably behind it. It was possible he used his
influence to make sure the cops didn't make it easy for them.
A corrupt cop could potentially deny someone bail and refuse payment.
Through the window, Debbie saw the myriad security guards patrolling the area.
She sighed and went downstairs to the kitchen. Carlos had helped her a lot this
time, saving her from jail and worse, and she needed to thank him.
She made a cup of chrysanthemum tea and headed for the study.
The CEO had told her she didn’t need to knock. But that was three years ago,
and he had amnesia now. He might not remember ever granting her that
privilege. So she knocked on the door instead.
She didn’t open the door until he responded. It was weird, hanging back like this,
acting as though they were strangers. But she could do little else.
Carlos was hunching over his laptop, the light from the screen illuminating his
face. She placed the cup on the desk and said, “Drink some tea first. It'll help
your eyes.”
“Thanks,” he answered simply.
Debbie took a deep breath and began, “I need to thank you. If it-*
However, Carlos’ ringtone saw to it that she couldn't continue. She stole a glance
at the screen and saw the caller ID-Stephanie.

“Hello?” he said coldly.
After Stephanie said something, he suddenly raised his head to look at
Debbie.
Debbie thought he was implying she should leave, so she turned around.
But she heard him say, “I'm too busy to make it there. Go to bed early.
Get some rest.”
Debbie was at a loss whether she should leave.
