w Bookmark This Website NinjaNovel.Com When everybody was finally seated,
someone mustered up enough nerve to ask, “Carlos, I assume that this lady is
Mrs. Hilton. Am I right?”
Carlos smiled. He looked at Debbie but remained silent.
Debbie was surprised at his reaction. “What's that supposed to mean?
Why doesn't he tell them who I am?’
Since Carlos didn’t respond, everyone else kept their mouths shut. A few quiet,
awkward seconds passed. Someone was about to break the uncomfortable
silence when Carlos announced, “My wife always keeps a low profile. I promised
her I'd keep our marriage secret. As to your question, I need my wife’s
permission before I answer it.”
The others were familiar with Carlos’ personality. They had never seen him talk
that much before. When he turned to Debbie, every one of them understood that
the woman sitting next to him was Mrs. Hilton.
They all looked at Debbie with a smile and racked their brains to compliment her.
The room suddenly was abuzz with their unctuous compliments. Some
complimented her beauty, others focused on her hair, dress, or her bearing. A
few talked about her manners, and some more nebulous things that they couldn’t
possibly know about the quiet woman sitting at the table with them. They were
unconcerned, all fawning over her to get on Carlos’ good side.
Bombarded with their expressions of praise, commendation, and admiration,
Debbie didn’t know how to respond. It was Carlos who came to her rescue.
“My wife is shy. Let's eat,” he said.
Debbie's face turned red.
Immediately, his proposal was echoed. The subject was changed. Someone
asked the waiter to bring the meals.
During the feast, Debbie realized something. The fact that she was at a dinner
with Carlos and the way Carlos had answered that man’s question kind of made
their relationship public.
But under the circumstances, there seemed to be nothing wrong with the way
Carlos told the others who she was.
Debbie stopped thinking about the issue and ate while Listening to them talk
about work. She had nothing to add, so she remained quiet as they talked shop.
Some things she understood, sometimes it was jargon or abbreviations she was
unfamiliar with. But a wise person never learned with their mouth open.
Carlos barely said anything afterwards. However, even so, the other men kept
asking his opinion on this or that.
“I need to use the little girls’ room,” Debbie whispered in Carlos’ ear.
The bathroom in the booth was occupied, so Debbie had to go outside.
“Do you want me to go with you?” asked Carlos.
“No, you stay. I'll be right back.”
Debbie let out a long exhale when she stepped outside. The ambiance inside the
booth was nice but boring.
