"Yes."

"Wait," Debra interrupted. "Leave it here for now. I'll be taking it to my place in a bit."

Melody shot a suspicious glance at her.

"What are you planning? To live apart from Juan?"

"I've recently bought a new place closer to my office. Juan is fully aware of it. We've already discussed it. You don't have to worry about that."

"But what about this suitcase?"

"Don't you trust me? The contract's right here. If anything goes missing, I'll take full responsibility. Besides, Juan and I are remarried now. His money is mine to spend as I wish. Why would I care about such a small amount of money?" Melody's face darkened at Debra's subtle bragging. She couldn't understand how Juan had fallen for such a woman in the first place.

Sophie, still holding the suitcase, offered, "Madam, this suitcase is quite heavy. Should I help you take it to your car?"

"No need," Debra replied, standing up. "My ride is already here. I'll handle it."
