Mr Carlos Huo, She's Your Wife novel Chapter 249

Some people were giving interviews, while some were still checking in. Everyone wore a broad smile.

Debbie was excited; you could hear it in her voice. "Holy cow! Would you check out all the star power? Look! Isn't that Lady Jasmine from 'The Story of Yanxi Palace?' Wait..." She pointed at another handsome guest dressed from head to toe in elegant formal attire. "He...he...That's the guy from 'The Wandering Earth'!" She couldn't remember who he was, but he certainly looked like a leading man.

Gregory was amused. "Come on, Debbie. You're the most important guest today—wife of the CEO of ZL Group. It's my honor to be here with you," he joked.

Debbie gave him an embarrassed smile. The main reason she came here was to keep an eye on Carlos and his date. "Let's go find Jared and Kasie," she suggested.

She had called them before she came here. She found Jared soon enough. The girl on his arm was none other than her cousin. "Sasha!" she exclaimed.

Sasha was thrilled to see Debbie. She jumped to her and took her arm. "Deb, I knew you'd be here. I'm here with Jared."

'Sasha and Jared?' Debbie was confused. She turned to Jared, who seemed a little impatient, and asked, "I had no clue you knew each other. When did this happen?"

Jared rolled his eyes and answered, "It's all thanks to you."

"Me? Why?" Debbie was more confused.

Sasha beamed, "He was on a phone call back then, and I heard him say 'Debbie.' So I went to him and asked about it. Then we realized that we both knew you. He's a great guy." Saying that, she squeezed his hand.

"Wow, such a coincidence!" Debbie was amazed.

Jared cast a casual glance at Gregory and asked, "Why are you guys here together?"

Gregory reached out his hand and greeted him politely, "Hi, Jared."

Jared reached out, shook his hand, and nodded.

Then he said to Debbie, "I thought you'd be here with your hubby. Where is he?"

Before she could answer, the host on the stage announced, "And now to give the opening speech, here's Mr. Carlos Huo! Put your hands together, ladies and gentlemen."

Upon hearing that, everyone turned to look at Carlos, applauding enthusiastically.

Our hero was in a tailored black suit and dark brown leather shoes. His pace was steady, his bearing confident and unhurried. He was the picture of poise, handsome and cold all at once.

Many noticed that Portia stood by him offstage.

In a beige evening dress, Portia fixed her affectionate eyes upon Carlos. The guests began to talk about her, gossiping about whether she and Carlos were an item. Some even ventured a guess she might be Mrs. Huo.

After all, Carlos had kept his wife a secret from the public. Debbie wanted it that way, but she was starting to regret her decision. She didn't want the attention, but he had no small amount of female admirers. He spent his time with too many of them. And far too few people knew Debbie was his wife.

Standing in the middle of the stage, lights bearing down on him casting long shadows, Carlos began his speech. Every eye in the room was glued to the figure on that stage. But Carlos' eyes rested on another figure, intimately familiar to him.

When their eyes met, Carlos gave her a smile, and Debbie's heart skipped a beat. Blushing, she grumbled, "Why the smile? Don't look at me! You have your own date."

Soon, the speech was done. When he strode off the stage, Portia immediately took his arm. She felt like a queen, others looking at her with admiration and envy. She could get used to that.
