Mr Carlos Huo, She's Your Wife novel Chapter 280

Debbie was lost in her complicated thoughts when Zelda dropped by to give her an invitation. "Mrs. Huo, Mr. Huo was afraid that you might be bored at home and asked me to give you the invitation to a tea party held by the wife of a high-ranking official."

Ignoring what Zelda had said, Debbie grabbed her hand and asked anxiously, "Why is Carlos' phone switched off?"

With an embarrassed smile, Zelda answered, "I have no idea either, Mrs. Huo. Maybe his battery is dead."

"Tell me the truth!"

Zelda sighed helplessly, "Mrs. Huo, I really have no clue. I'm not Mr. Huo's personal assistant. My answer will be the same even if you ask me another ten times."

Seeing her sincere expression, Debbie gave up. "All right. Thanks. Bye, Zelda," she said in a hushed voice.

Zelda bade her goodbye and drove off.

Looking at the invitation in her hand, Debbie puckered her mouth. She was in no mood to go to the party. She knew that the guests would be a bunch of gossiping women who would act all elegant and aloof on the surface.

Kasie, however, liked to attend these kinds of parties. So Debbie called her and offered, "Hi Kasie. Carlos' assistant, Zelda, just brought me an invitation to a tea party. Would you like to go?"

"A tea party? Is it Mrs. Jiang's?"

Debbie took a closer look and saw the name on the invitation. "Yep."

"Yeah! I'll go! Why don't you go along with me? Mrs. Jiang is really fond of holding parties, and she hires Michelin star chefs to prepare the food. Come on, foodie! Join me!" Kasie said in a cheerful tone.

Debbie was not at all in a good mood because of Carlos' sudden disappearance. She told Kasie in a low voice, "If it weren't for Carlos' injury, I would've already been on a flight to England. I'm in no mood for some stupid tea party." She hated mingling with those hypocrites. She was afraid that she might end up having a row with some of them.

Kasie didn't give up. "Come on. If you stay at home alone, you will get more and more dejected. Just ask Zelda if she can give you an extra invitation. We can attend the party together. If she can't, then you'll have to go alone."

Sighing in defeat, Debbie agreed to accompany her.

Zelda soon came back, holding another invitation with Kasie's name on it.

That evening, Debbie and Kasie arrived at the tea party together. She gave Kasie one of the invitations.

The party was being held at a tea house on the first floor of a building. The building also had hotel rooms on dozens of floors.

There was a security guard at the entrance of the tea house. Debbie gave him the invitation. It was only then that she noticed the invitation in her hand had Kasie's name on it.

It was not a big deal, so she didn't give much thought to it.

The guard eyed Kasie from head to toe when he saw the name on her invitation. But Debbie didn't notice it.

They entered the tea house. Just as Debbie had expected, the party was filled with ladies from well-off families in Y City.

Many walked over to Debbie to greet her.

Debbie, however, barely knew them. Nevertheless, she had to smile back at them politely.

Mrs. Jiang even invited Debbie to a private room where they chatted over tea. After a while, Mrs. Jiang bade Debbie farewell as she had to attend to other guests as well.

Debbie heaved a sigh of relief. She really didn't enjoy the company. She left the room and went to the food section where Kasie was busy tasting different dishes. "Kasie, how's the food?" Debbie asked with a faint smile.

"Yummy! Here, taste this!" Kasie fed her a macaroon from the spread.

"Wow, indeed. It's not too sweet." They sat together, eating and talking.

Before long, a woman came over and invited Debbie to join them. She was Lucinda's friend, and Debbie had to oblige.
