He walked over to Debbie and greeted, “Good afternoon, Carlos.”
Debbie nodded, “Afternoon to you.”
“Debbie, Carlos bought these and asked me to bring them to you.”
Debbie stopped eating and looked at those bags. Her eyes lit up on the sight of
the Logo of a designer Lipstick brand she always wished for, but couldn't afford.
At the price of a six thousand dollars per piece, it was way too expensive for her.
“Thank Carlos for me. But I won't take these. Take them back to him so that he
can give them to someone else,” Debbie said in a flat tone.
Her refusal surprised Tristan. Had he walked into a marital storm? It was an
awkward moment he wished he should have excused himself.
But Carlos was his boss, and he felt obliged to put in a good word for the big
man.
“Debbie, Carlos picked these for you in person this morning. I've worked for
Carlos for a long time, and I've never seen him pick a gift for any woman before.”
Scooping some rice from her plate, Debbie asked casually, “What about
Megan's birthday gift?”
Tristan was stumped.
“Er... about that...Carlos picked it himself.
But what does this have to do with Megan?” Tristan didn’t understand why
Debbie suddenly brought up Megan. But he had to do his job.
“Debbie, Carlos was in an awful mood when he went to work this morning, but
when he picked this gift for you, he was in an incredibly good mood.”
“A good mood? How did you know? Did he smile? Or did he tell you that
himself?”
Tristan was left speechless. He could tell that Debbie was furious about
something.
That made the situation even worse for him because although he was capable at
work, he sucked when it came to women. The fact that he was a divorced man
spoke for itself. Clutching at straws, he fumbled,
“Well, as you know, Carlos doesn’t smile much. And he doesn’t put his feelings
into words.”
“I know,” Debbie responded crisply. Once again Tristan fell into silence.
Careful not to make the situation spoil Tristan’s mood over her differences with
Carlos, she simply said, “Take these Lipsticks back to
Carlos. I don’t want them.”
However, unsure how he would face Carlos, Tristan put the lipsticks on the dining
table and turned around.

“I'm sorry, Debbie, I can't do that. If
you don't want them, I guess you will
have to take them back to Carlos
yourself. They are out of my hands
now,” he said anxiously as he headed
for the door. The content is on

Among his colleagues, Emmett was
a friend to Debbie. Meeting Debbie in
this foul mood reminded Tristan of
his own struggles. “Emmett, come
