Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 3

Chapter 3

Due to this episode, Juan's attention was solely on Debra. Shelia's performance was completely ignored.

When the auction ended, Debra was about to leave when she bumped into Juan and Shelia.

"Debra, if you don't understand real estate, don't mess around," Juan said bluntly.

Shelia chimed in, "Yeah, Debra. Your actions have cost Mr. Nichols ten billion dollars."

Debra chuckled, "Miss Miles, you misunderstand. This piece of land is mine to buy. What does it have to do with Juan?"

Shelia blurted out, "But that's ten billion dollars."

"It's just pocket change for me, not to mention for her."

From not far away, Randy's voice came. "Isn't that right, Ms. Frazier?"

Debra caught sight of Marion and said, "It's just a plaything for purchase."

Shelia blushed with embarrassment.

Ten billion dollars meant nothing to Juan and Debra.

In front of these people, Shelia felt inferior.

"Heard Mr. Nichols got married. Is the lady beside him Mrs. Nichols?" Marion chimed in.

Shelia blushed, stammering, "N-no."

"This is my wife, Debra," Juan said, pulling Debra close.

Debra tried to shake off Juan's hand, but he held on tight.

Since earlier, he had felt Marion's gaze on Debra.

Men understood men best. He could see through Marion's thoughts.

"So, Ms. Frazier is Mrs. Nichols. It's my bad. I saw Mr. Nichols chatting with this lady in the venue earlier, thinking she was Mrs. Nichols." Randy slapped his head. "Then this lady must be Mr. Nichols's secretary. No wonder she was holding up signs for Mr. Nichols earlier."

Debra almost burst out laughing.

Though she didn't care about Shelia and Juan anymore, hearing Randy's words still made her pleased.

Shelia was totally embarrassed.

"Joe, take Shelia home," Juan ordered.

"Yes, sir," Joe agreed.

Randy grinned, "We'll get out of your hair. Bye!"

After Randy and Marion left, Debra shook off Juan's hand. "Had enough?"

Juan didn't expect Debra to pull away.

Before, Debra couldn't wait to touch him.

She seemed different tonight.

"If you're trying to get my attention, you don't need to do this," Juan said.

Debra was speechless.

She wanted to argue, but she couldn't find the right words.

Considering how much she cared about Juan in the past, she might have done so.

But she wasn't that person anymore.

"Whatever!" Debra shrugged.

"Wait." Juan stopped her.

"What now?"

"What's your relationship with Marion?"

"I don't even know him."

Juan spoke coldly. "No matter what your relationship is with him, you are Mrs. Nichols in public. You better watch your identity and keep your distance from other men."
