TAKE MY BREATH AWAY

Before grabbing her chopsticks, Debbie called Carlos. Just as she guessed, he was too busy to come back for dinner. Despite feeling a jolt of loneliness, she understood why. He had already abandoned his schedule to pick her up from the Southon Village. Earlier, he had received quite a few business calls, even in the car. All his time was devoted to either flirting with her or dealing with work.        
   

After reminding Carlos of his meal, Debbie hung up and dug into her dinner.    

She had to admit one thing—without Carlos at the table, she was free to do anything she wanted. She liked to play on her phone, but Carlos rarely let her do anything other than eat and talk to him. And he did precious little of the latter. Sometimes, there was little to talk about, especially with a man of few words. And she did love to mess around with her phone...    

Debbie had just opened her Weibo app when her phone suddenly rang. It was Kasie calling.    

After quickly swallowing down a mouthful of tasty soup, she answered in a happy tone, "Hi, Kasie!"    

"Debbie! Did you see the top trending topic on Weibo?" Kasie was obviously excited, and her words came out in a rapid-fire jumble.    

"Not yet. I just sat down for dinner. I was about to get on Weibo when you called. Something happened?"    

"Yeah. Your husband made the headlines again! Carlos seems to have become a newsmaker. I don't know what you did to him, but it's almost like he's craving the limelight now. He used to issue takedown notices for stories about him, but not anymore."    

'Made the headlines?' Debbie tensed up. "What did he do this time? Anything happened to him?"    

"Well, you'd better read the news yourself. You're involved. You'd probably know better than I would." Kasie had scarcely finished her sentence before she hung up the phone immediately. Debbie had no chance to say a word.    

With a torrent of doubts flooding her mind, Debbie clicked the hot topics list on Weibo. The topic "Carlos Huo is married" ranked first. The story had gone viral—a lot of people had seen this, and the number kept ticking upwards.    

'Carlos Huo is married? Has our marriage gone public?' Debbie thought.    

Her heart jumped into her throat. Losing her appetite, she put down her chopsticks and glued her eyes to the headline for several minutes.    

After a long pause, she took a deep breath and mustered the courage to click the title. There were a few photos posted at the end of the article. Instead of reading the article, she took a quick look at the photos first.    

The first photo was a full body shot of Carlos attending an award ceremony this afternoon. He was holding a trophy with a thin smile on his charming face.    

The second photo was a close-up picture of the hand holding the trophy. It was obviously meant to show the ring on his finger.    

And the third one was an animated GIF. It showed what happened the moment he left the venue after the award ceremony. He was surrounded by a throng of reporters; his face had almost been buried amidst the microphones. Then, he was escorted to his car by many bodyguards without answering any questions.    

The last photo was the same one that someone had posted on the Internet. That one was secretly taken by paparazzi when Carlos walked out of the hotel with Debbie in his arms.
