Andrew looked at me with a complicated expression but remained silent.

He then headed to another room.

I didn’t waste any time and called Carlos right away.

Given the circumstances, it was time to take action.

Carlos picked up the phone quickly.

Before Carlos could speak, I informed him that I had been secretly recorded and broadcasted live in a coffee shop, and the media spreading these rumors were linked to Alexandria and her father.

After sharing this, I issued a stern ultimatum to Carlos.

“I don’t care if you were aware of this or not, but as the head of the Vargas family, you’d better control your people, or I’ll take matters into my own hands.

Carlos realized the gravity of the situation and promptly assured me, “Don’t worry.

I’ll handle it right away and ensure you receive a proper resolution.

I nodded in response.

Just as I was about to end the call, Andrew approached, offering fruits and coffee with enthusiasm.

“We’ve got some fruit here.

Please, help yourself.

Or, is there anything else you’d like? I can order room service for you.

I quickly declined.

“No, I’m not hungry…”

I was just about to assure Andrew not to bother, and that I’d be heading home soon, but before I could finish, Caleb’s deep voice came through the phone.

“What room service?”

Debra’s POV:

When Andrew and I heard Caleb’s voice, we were both taken aback.

I reacted first, smiling awkwardly.

“Caleb, are you with Carlos?”

“Which hotel?” he demanded sharply.

Overwhelmed with a sense of unwarranted guilt, I revealed the name of the hotel.

Caleb, clearly incensed, ended the call abruptly.

Andrew gave a rueful smile and apologized, “Sorry, it looks Like I’ve put you in a difficult spot again.

I waved it off, trying to appear calm, “Don’t worry about it.

Caleb can be a bit possessive, but he’s reasonable.

“Really?” Andrew offered a half-smile, leaving me at a loss for words.

After a while, the doorbell interrupted our awkward silence.

I rushed to the door and swung it open to replace Caleb, impeccably dressed in a new tailored suit and styled hair, a stark contrast to his earlier appearance.

His confident smile grew as he noticed my surprise.

He grasped my hand firmly and approached Andrew as if to show off our relationship.
