Chapter 529

“Oh please. What would Carlos think if he heard you?”

Debbie had wanted to get on his case too. Now, hearing Kasie’s remark, she couldn’t help but burst

into laughter. She fought the urge and stopped Laughing. She needed to know.

“So, what do you think of her?”

He thought carefully. This was her best friend Kasie, after all.

“My parents are happy with her after seeing the photo,” he answered in an official tone.

Debbie chuckled.

“Very polite. But what about turning this lie into reality?”

Emmett paused, shifting his gaze to the girl casually Leaning against the wall.

“I’d like to give it a shot. But she loves Lewis…”

His sentence was interrupted abruptly by Kasie’s angry shout.

“Hey, who loves Lewis? You mean me? Bullshit! I was done with him a long time ago. Cut it out!”

Emmett thrust his arms forward, palms out.

“Okay, okay. Mea culpa.”

Getting back on the phone, he said, “Debbie, I have a meeting. I’ll call Kasie later to talk about her visit

to my house, okay?”

“Wow! So soon?” Debbie exclaimed. She was taken aback. ‘Seeing parents?

Are they talking marriage?”

After returning the phone to Kasie, Emmett drew close to her and whispered in a mysterious voice,

“The contract tonight is important to the company. If I can’t seal the deal, half of my bonus goes bye-

bye.

I’ll call you when I’m done.”

His closeness made Kasie nervous. With a stiff smile on her face, she stuttered, “I-It’s… none of my

business.”

He tried to get her on board by saying, “There will be a lot of new and fashionable products at the plaza

after the New Year. I’ll buy you two things and you come to my house to have a meal, okay? Just one

meal.

That’s it!”

‘I get two things and I get fed…’ Kasie hesitated. This was tempting because her mother had tightened

her purse strings recently. ‘Fine, just one meal. I‘m not marrying him. There’s nothing to worry about.‘

With that thought in mind, she nodded, “Deal!”

Emmett smiled happily, showing his white teeth. Before entering the room, he patted her on her

shoulder and promised, “If I get this contract, I’LL buy you dinner.”

Kasie wondered, ‘Buy me dinner? Since when did we get so close? Why would he buy me things, invite

me to his home and treat me to a meal?”
