Chapter: 54
After Lying down properly, she took out her phone from her pocket and searched for information about her dear husband. But when she typed Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“Carlos Hilton’ in the search bar, no related information came up at all.
In such a society with an advanced information network, how did Carlos keep his information a secret from the public? It was a mystery which bothered Debbie.
As the saying went, “Know your enemy, know yourself.” She wanted to learn more about her husband, but with her online search ending in vain, she was stuck.
Should she just talk to him instead? But as soon as the thought appeared in Debbie’s mind, she quickly dismissed it. The man did not know how to listen to her. It would be just another futile attempt.
Sighing, the young Lady continued to ponder.
“I’ve been so stupid! I should’ve inquired Philip about Carlos more before. If I did, I wouldn’t have had the audacity to cross him. Alas!
It’s too late now. What else can I do?’ Debbie thought, beating herself up over her ignorance.
Now that she was seeing things in a different light, she really regretted having sung the song that evening to offend him.
“Debbie, why did you have to provoke him again and again?
You lifted a rock only to drop it on your own feet!’ she berated herself. Slapping a palm on her forehead in resentment, she then stood up. Tomorrow morning was going to be tough for her. When she went to
the second floor, she stole a glance at the closed door of Carlos’ bedroom. As soon as she was certain that it was not going to burst open at any minute, she sneaked into hers and closed the door as gently as possible.

Carlos.
The previous evening, she had made up her mind. Since she could not divorce him right now, she just had to keep herself away from him as much as possible. It was her only solution until she could make the man sign the divorce papers. If she had to face him, she decided she would not provoke him again. After all, safety was now her first priority.
When she reached the first floor, however, she saw the very same man she meant to avoid in the dining room. Without even looking at her,
Carlos ate his breakfast. It was a bit strange seeing him in a black shirt instead of his usual business attire.
“Debbie, come eat,” Julie said in a cheerful voice as she went to the kitchen. Before the servant could reappear with Debbie’s breakfast, the young lady was already running to the entrance door.
“No need for that, Julie,” she shouted hastily.
“I’m in a hurry!”
‘When did he get up? I didn’t even hear him make any sound, * she thought to herself.
“Stop!” came a cold voice from behind her back. Almost as if on command, Debbie paused from changing her shoes. Her breath hitched when she heard him.
“Um…” she stammered, turning around.
Until that moment, something never occurred to Debbie. What was she supposed to call him? ‘Boss?’ Debbie thought. ‘Sounds like I’m an employee of his. Honey? That would be disgusting!’ She scrunched her nose in revulsion.
“Sir,” she said formally, trying to make an excuse,
