Chapter: 36
Debbie turned out to be fine. Carlos, on the other hand, wasn’t. But she didn’t care about him.
Colleen took Debbie to another Lounge to change her clothes, and then escorted her and Kasie off the ship with Curtis.
“Rest well when you get home. I’ll take care of Carlos!” Curtis said resolutely.
He could tell that Carlos wouldn’t let go of Debbie that easily.
“Thank you, Mr. Loftus and Miss Smith. Also, I’m sorry for the trouble
I caused to the party today. Anyway, I’m going now. Good night!” Debbie couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed for the commotion she had caused.
“It’s okay. Don’t worry, okay? I’ll take care of everything. You can go back first!
“Thank you, Mr. Loftus. Bye!”
When Debbie and Kasie were gone, Colleen held Curtis’s arm tightly and asked, “Why didn’t you tell her the truth?”
Curtis recalled how confused Debbie looked, and smiled with amusement.
“It’s not the right time yet.”
“If you say so…”
Curtis took Colleen’s hand and squeezed it gently. Together, they headed back to the banquet.
When Curtis found Carlos, the latter was smoking in a dark room, staring out the window pensively.
“Carlos, she’s still young. Don’t stoop to her level.”
Curtis was met with silence. Little did he know that it was because
Carlos was still in pain.
Not long after Debbie left, the press conference on the Hilton Group’s latest electronic products commenced.
The reporters had already fixed the lights and pointed the cameras towards the platform and the screen, waiting for the new products to be announced.
It was known to all that the products produced by Hilton Group were always excellent.
When Carlos and several senior executives showed their faces, more than ten cameras swiveled around to omit Carlos’s figure.
Because it was also known to all that Carlos never allowed reporters to take photos of him.
When Carlos took his seat, everyone else in the room sat down too.
After the general manager delivered an opening speech, the vice general manager started to introduce the newly released products.
Carlos sat in his chair, listening attentively to the vice general manager’s speech.
