Dave was puzzled.
That was great news for the real estate industry, and everyone in the business had learned about it.
Juan furrowed his brow as he realized he hadn’t contacted Debra since this morning.
“Mr. Clark, let’s drink.”
Shelia knew Juan was thinking about Debra. She poured him a drink despite her uneasy feelings.
Juan stood up abruptly and left the private room without a word.
“Mr. Nichols?”
The room fell into confusion, and Shelia fretted.
She found it hard to believe the land had ended up in the green zone.
In the bathroom, Debra finished washing her hands and noticed her phone vibrating on the sink. Seeing it was Juan calling, she answered, “What’s up?”
“Where are you?” His tone wasn’t friendly.
Confused why he was upset again, she replied, “Having a meal with friends. Can it wait until tonight?”
Shelia’s timid voice came from the other end. “Juan, come back. Everyone’s waiting for you.”
Debra hung up without another word.
She found it absurd that he asked about her whereabouts when he was out with his lover.
Putting away her phone, she left the bathroom.
Trying to close the door to the private room, Shelia caught sight of Debra coming from the bathroom. Her face registered surprise before she Instinctively shut the door.
“Shelia, come here.”
Shelia turned around, realizing Juan hadn’t seen Debra outside.
“Mr. Nichols, I want to get some fresh air outside,” she said.
“Go ahead,” Juan replied softly.

Everyone knew the identity of these companions.

She
soon heard the voices of a man and
a woman chatting.
“Your vision is admirable. I’d like to toast you,” Randy said, raising his glass.

Debra followed suit.
Since dishes were being served, the door wasn’t closed.
Shelia saw Debra and Marion sitting close to each other. Marion even fed Debra while she raised her glass.
Shelia wondered about their relationship.
“Miss, are you looking for the bathroom? It’s over there said a waiter from behind her.
His voice startled Shelia and attracted Debra’s attention.
Debra looked over and saw a familiar figure.
But soon, that figure hurried away.
“Was someone outside?” Marion asked.
Randy glanced around. “No one.”
Debra frowned. “I think I saw Shelia.”
If Shelia was here, then Juan must be too.
She wondered if Juan and Shelia were in the other private room.
“I’ll go check it out!” Randy said, trying to get up. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Debra stopped him. “Don’t go. It wouldn’t be good if they found out. Let me think.”
