“Debbie.’ So I went to him and asked about it. Then we realized that we both
knew you. He's a great guy.” Saying that, she squeezed his hand.
“Wow, such a coincidence!” Debbie was amazed.
Jared cast a casual glance at Gregory and asked, “Why are you guys here
together?”
Gregory reached out his hand and greeted him politely, “Hi, Jared.”
Jared reached out, shook his hand, and nodded.
Then he said to Debbie, “I thought you'd be here with your hubby. Where is he?”
Before she could answer, the host on the stage announced, “And now to give the
opening speech, here’s Mr. Carlos! Put your hands together, ladies and
gentlemen.”
Upon hearing that, everyone turned to look at Carlos, applauding enthusiastically.
Our hero was in a tailored black suit and dark brown Leather shoes. His pace
was steady, his bearing confident and unhurried. He was the picture of poise,
handsome and cold all at once.
Many noticed that Portia stood by him offstage.
In a beige evening dress, Portia fixed her affectionate eyes upon
Carlos. The guests began to talk about her, gossiping about whether she and
Carlos were an item. Some even ventured a guess she might be Mrs.
Hilton.
After all, Carlos had kept his wife a secret from the public. Debbie wanted it that
way, but she was starting to regret her decision. She didn’t want the attention, but
he had no small amount of female admirers. He spent his time with too many of
them. And far too few people knew Debbie was his wife.
Standing in the middle of the stage, Lights bearing down on him casting long
shadows, Carlos began his speech. Every eye in the room was glued to the
figure on that stage. But Carlos’ eyes rested on another figure, intimately familiar
to him.
When their eyes met, Carlos gave her a smile, and Debbie's heart skipped a
beat. Blushing, she grumbled, “Why the smile? Don’t look at me! You have your
own date.”
Soon, the speech was done. When he strode off the stage, Portia immediately
took his arm. She felt like a queen, others looking at her with admiration and
envy. She could get used to that.
Out of nowhere, Kasie appeared and grabbed Debbie's wrist.
“Debbie, what's going on? Why is Portia with your hubby? Why are you just
standing here? Go and take his arm. Look at Portia! It's like she thinks she’s Mrs.
Hilton.”

Debbie was enraged, and pinched Kasie’s cheek hard.
