Take My Breath Away

Chapter 517 - Carlos Will Be All Yours



The pregnant woman looked familiar to Reeve, but he couldn't place her. Hearing what Debbie had said, he bragged in a flattering tone, "Of course. I have booked the hottest girls they have here for Mr. Huo."

Debbie feigned an excited expression and said to Carlos, "Whoa! Mr. Huo, you're gonna get lucky today. I think that girl is the most beautiful among them. What do you think?"

Carlos replied helplessly, "I don't find any of them attractive."

Debbie retorted, "Oh, don't be ridiculous. You're just being high maintenance. They have beautiful faces and perfect figures. Look at me. My face is swollen. I'm big as a tub. I can't even see my feet." She let out a frustrated sigh.

Reeve couldn't hold back his curiosity anymore. "Who are you? Why are you here?"

His stupidity became insufferable to Frankie. Frankie was about to tell him who she was when Debbie gave him a look to stop him. She said to Reeve with a smile, "I'm a business partner of Mr. Huo's. We've just signed a contract involving a few hundred million. To sweeten the deal, I even gave him two princesses."

'What business are they doing? Two princesses? What's that about?' Reeve was bewildered.

Carlos understood what she meant.

He had transferred the titles to his properties to Debbie, and their two daughters were the two princesses.

He took Debbie's hand, intending to say something, but Debbie brushed his hand away and continued to say to Reeve, "Mr. Huo said he liked that woman. Can he take her with him?"

Reeve was thrilled. "Of course! We especially demanded Tess' presence for Mr. Huo." It was because they had heard that Tess looked like Mrs. Huo.

'Wait a minute! This pregnant woman looks like Tess.'

Before Reeve could give it more thought, Debbie interrupted him, laughing, "How thoughtful of you to do that! But I heard that Mr. Huo is married. Aren't you worried that his wife would get upset?"

Reeve continued to kiss up to Carlos with a chuckle. "A man needs more than one woman, especially a successful man like Mr. Huo. Only having at least a dozen women can match his power and wealth."

Carlos had heard enough. He attempted to stop the man from prattling on about bullshit, but when Debbie glared at him, he kept silent.

She concurred with a nod. "Well said, Mr. Quan."

When the music ended, Debbie waved at Tess and said, "Tess, come here and serve Mr. Huo well."

Tess gaped at her in shock.

Reeve was an ignorant man. He barely surfed the Internet, nor was he interested in the entertainment news, so he wasn't familiar with the celebrities. Girls, however, liked to keep up to date with the latest gossip online, and Tess frequently visited Weibo and other apps. So she was well aware that Debbie was a singer and Carlos' pregnant wife.

She had figured out that she was there because she looked like Debbie.

"I'm flattered. But I... I can't," Tess stammered nervously. She wasn't dumb enough to think that Debbie would volunteer to find her husband another woman.

Debbie threw her head back and laughed hysterically. "Don't be afraid. You're here to help Mr. Huo. His wife is eight months pregnant. He has waited too long. It's not healthy for a man to suppress his needs for such a long time. Don't be shy. Help him release the beast inside him."

Reeve sneered and echoed, "Yes, Tess. Relax. Go... go...to MM...Mr. Huo..." His voice died away when he met Carlos' fierce eyes.

Tess was trembling all over from the sharp, icy looks Debbie had been giving her. She knew Debbie misunderstood. "I... Mr. Huo, Mr. Quan, I...I'll dance another dance for you."

With that, she turned to leave. Carlos' glares gave Reeve chills, but he didn't know why Carlos was looking at him like that. He felt frustrated, and Tess' dawdling irritated him. He stood up abruptly and grabbed her arm roughly. "What the hell are you waiting for? It's your honor to serve Mr. Huo! Move your ass!"

He shoved her rudely, and Tess' eyes reddened in horror. "Mr. Quan..." Then she turned to Debbie and lowered her head, apologizing, "I'm sorry. I was only dancing. I didn't do anything else. Please don't be mad. If my presence upsets you, I'll leave right away."

'Why is Tess acting so humble in front of this woman? Why is Mr. Huo giving me such a dirty look? That woman just said Mr. Huo's wife was eight months pregnant...' Reeve looked at Debbie's swollen belly. The dumbass had finally put two and two together and worked out what was going on.

He slapped himself hard across the face and then said with a fawning smile. "What a fool I have been not to recognize Mrs. Huo! Mrs. Huo, I was kidding when I talked about those girls. Please don't take it seriously. Please, have a seat." Then he gestured to the waitresses and said, "What are you gawking at? Hurry up and serve the dishes!"

Carlos ignored him and carefully took Debbie into his arms. "Let's go home," he suggested.

"Okay. Tess, come with us." Debbie held Tess by the wrist.

The girl trembled, and tears ran down her cheeks. She looked very pitiful, but Debbie didn't let go of her.

Carlos coaxed Debbie in many ways, but to no avail. She dragged the poor girl out of the restaurant with her. Once they reached the car, Debbie told Tess to get in first, and then she sat next to her in the back seat. Carlos had to sit in the passenger seat.

The owner of Moon Restaurant didn't say a word when Tess was taken away by Debbie, because Debbie was with Carlos. He even escorted them to the car.

As soon as they were inside the car, Carlos asked Frankie to get rid of Reeve.

Realizing that Carlos had angered Debbie, Frankie knew his boss was in big trouble, so he focused on driving the car and reminded himself to speak as little as possible.

"Frankie, go to a nearby hotel," Debbie remarked. Every time she spoke, the other three people got nervous.

Frankie glimpsed at Carlos. Since his boss wasn't saying anything, he nodded and responded, "Yes, Mrs. Huo."

After sending some messages on her phone, Debbie started talking with Tess. "How long have you been working there?"

Unlike before, Debbie sounded cordial now. Tess would have felt much more at ease, had Debbie spoken to her like that in the first place. However, given what had happened in the restaurant and the uncertainty of what was going on, she was still scared of her. She wondered why Debbie had insisted on taking her with them. "Two months," she answered timidly.

"Don't be afraid. I'll treat you well in the future. I love traveling. After my baby is born, I'll travel around a lot, and Carlos will be all yours."

The others were dumbstruck.

"N-N-No. Mrs. Huo, you misunderstand," Tess explained in a hurry. Her eyes were red and teary again.

Carlos had to say something. He turned around and said, "Honey, cut it out."
