True Love Waits novel Chapter 250

Hayden stood still with a calm face and swirled the red wine gently in his glass.

As Debbie was hesitating to leave, a man swiftly walked on to the stage, a microphone in his hand. He started, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to take up more of your shopping time..."

Carlos' voice boomed through the microphone. Again, it proved how influential he was in the city. As soon as he had started speaking, the noisy crowd turned pin-drop silent, with their eyes glued to him.

With his eyes fixed on a certain individual, Carlos flashed a smile and continued, "I would like to take this opportunity to pick a unique wristwatch for my wife, as an apology to her..."

This time, the hall erupted in an uproar. Finally, it was time to meet the mysterious Mrs. Huo! The crowd cheered and exclaimed as they scanned the hall to look for a lady who would most likely be Mrs. Huo.

Debbie's heart skipped a beat. She clutched her wine glass tightly, holding her breath.

'What in the world... is he trying to do?' she wondered, nervously.

She shifted her gaze towards the stage, only to find that he had been looking at her all this time. Their eyes met. The affection in his eyes was so evident; Debbie was completely mesmerized.

But she was nervous and worried. 'Why did he mention me all of a sudden? Is he planning to really apologize to me in front of so many people? He is a CEO! Doesn't he care about his self-esteem? Isn't this going to be a disgrace for him?' she wondered with a frown.

"Tomboy, Tomboy! Mr. Huo is going to profess his love for you in public!" Kasie exclaimed excitedly as she shook Debbie's shoulders. However, Debbie didn't take in any of her words; she wondered what Carlos was up to.

Ignoring the commotion among the guests, Carlos spoke again. "But... my wife has..." he paused and smirked before continuing, "a very short temper. I'm afraid she won't forgive me even if I give her all the priceless valuables here."

The guests grew restless. More and more spectators began to whisper to each other. Inevitably, Debbie heard the people next to her talking. "Oh, my God! Who on earth is his wife? She's so daring that she would show her anger towards Mr. Huo," a guest wondered loudly.

"Is Mrs. Huo that tough?"

"I was wondering the same. If I were his wife, I would try my best to make him happy around the clock. How could I possibly get angry at him?"

The chatter continued fervently.

As Carlos' eyes were fixed on Debbie the whole time, some people began to crane their necks and look in the direction where he was looking.

On the stage, Carlos continued, "So...I want to give my wife a small gift today, which I hope, will please her. And it would be great if you guys could do me a favor and put in a good word for me."

The hall erupted in laughter and screams at his romantic words. "Aargh! Mr. Huo, I am sure she will be utterly pleased! You're so romantic. Even I can't resist your charm..."

"My goodness! Who on earth is this Mrs. Huo? She's so lucky to be loved so deeply by this stoic man!"

"Mrs. Huo, where are you? Come on! Show yourself please!"

"Jesus! I'm dying to see her now!"

Debbie felt her heart jump to her throat as she listened to the crazy screams around her.

Wearing a pair of white gloves, Emmett climbed on to the stage with a brocade box and passed it to Carlos.

As he carefully picked up the luxury watch from the box, the big screen on the stage began to display the high-resolution pictures and details of the watch in his hand.

The watch was mechanical, collaborated by 101 outstanding designers of the ZL Group.
