Chapter 24: Kate’s Questions (2) 

*** FLASHBACK On Kate’s Nineteenth Birthday (Carlos’ Version)

“Are you sure about this, Hailey?” Carlos asked on the other line. He was signaling a taxi, hoping to get to the Red Brick restaurant and see Kate again

On the phone, Hailey answered, “Yes. Lyla told me that Kate would be there alone I don’t know why though, and I did not ask I don’t want to warn Kate that you’ll be there

It did not matter to Carlos, perhaps it was better that he speak to Kate alone if she wasn’t at the said restaurant, he would simply go to the Wright mansion and beg for everyone’s forgiveness

“Okay, Hailey. Thank you for the help. Carlos said before bidding goodbye

When Carlos expressed to Hailey how he wanted to ser Kate, at first, she was reluctant. After a few more convincing, Hailey offered her help she gave Carlos some cash to add to his plane fare and contacted a few of their high school friends. That was how Hailey found out where Kate was

Carlos, at that time, was very excited to ser Kate. Yet again, he was ready to profess his love for her, but as soon as he arrived at The Red Brick restaurant, his heart was crushed all over again

From where he stood outside the establishment, he uw how Tyler gave flowers and gifts to Kate through the glass windows He stilled wtien Kate appeared to be smiling and accepting Tyler’s present

Dozens of needles seemed to have pricked into his heart that he dutched against his chest. For Carlos, it was hurtful to see everything All that time, while he was away and hoping that Kate would realize his importance, Tyler was still pursuing her, and by how it looked to him, he SLICTded at it

His jaws clenched, seeing the way Tyler and Kate were taking a picture of each other. He was about to storm inside the restaurant and defend his value in Kate’s life when Lyla called him

“Carlos! What are you doing here?” Lyla asked. “Are you going to disturb Kate on her date?

Lyla scoffed and added, “Why? Are you still in love with Kate? Haha How pathetic ”

“When will you learn that you are never good enough for her Look at you? And look at Kate? Look at Tyler Carlos, kate is an heiress to one of the biggest corporations in the country She is rich highly maintained, and deserves more than what you can offer

“Tyler is better suited for Kate He is rich, and he can give Käte all her favorite jade collections What about you? What can you offer her, Carlos Tender love and care Lyla mocked him She stated, “Newsflash, that will never be good enough for someone who is as pampered as Kate Wright

“Kate isn’t that kind of person,” Carlos defended.

Sure, she isn’t now, but the time will come when she will realize how she is used to a life of luxury What will happen if you guys elope? You’ll only give her promises and dreains, never

the comforts in life that she is used to.”

“You should just leave. Kate is happy with Tyler. Don’t bother messing up her life.”

Carlos did not know for how long he stayed there, listening to Lyla belittling him. When it all ended, he simply stormed away and took a taxi to the airport.

With a heavy heart, Carlos left Braeton City again. He was more determined to make a name

for himself. He swore to return, no longer a man unfit for Kate’s social standing.
