☛ 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.
