Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 3826

Debra bit the bottom of her lip gently. She hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Skylar, it's me."

Skylar's attitude became enthusiastic as soon as he heard Debra's voice. "Hello, Miss Debra. What can I do for you this late at night?"

He was smiling from ear to ear. 'Just as I expected. It hasn't even been 24, and she is calling me. Dax must be on the verge of death right now for her to do that.'

Debra still had no idea that she was playing into Skylar's hand. "Umm, there's something I need to ask you face-to-face," she said in a small voice.

Skylar became extremely excited. "It's my honor to do anything for a beauty like you. I'll meet you in the lobby," he said without hesitation.

Soon, they were seated in the hotel's private dining room. It was late at night, so there were no other diners there. Their tables were next to the floor-to-ceiling window, giving them an uninterrupted night view of Mid City. However, Debra was in no mood to admire the scenery.

Skylar was looking at Debra with deep feeling, drunk on her beauty. "Miss Debra, do you believe in fate? This is our third meeting today. I can't help but think that the heavens have conspired for us to meet. Maybe between the two of us—"

A chill crawled up Debra's spine when she saw how Skylar looked at her. "Skylar, please have some self-respect. You know very well that I'm Darryl's woman. Besides, I have a more important matter to discuss with you."

Debra was in a panic. She was even willing to let go of her pride if it meant that Dax would be saved.

"Miss Debra, please forgive me for being straightforward, but why do you care so much about Dax when he isn't even related to you? Not to mention that something like this was bound to happen with that hot and arrogant temper of his," Skylar said unhappily.

Debra sighed and said thoughtfully, "He's Darryl's sworn brother, after all. Can you please save him?" Her eyes were filled with anticipation.

Skylar frowned and thought vehemently, 'Dammit! It's always Darryl that and Darryl that. I'm just as good, if not better than him!'
