"Juan has arrived in Orkgate. I want to see who he''s really here for," Drake replied.
Kale reasoned, "He''s here to discuss business with the Sharp family. It can''t be for Ms. Frazier, right?"
Drake waved his hand in disapproval. "Don''t be so na?ve. She''s his ex-wife. Back on the ind, Juan would''ve walked through fire for her."
Kale replied, "But Juan lost his memory. He doesn''t even remember Ms. Frazier. This seems pointless."
Drake snorted, "Memory loss? You really believe that?"
"I..."
"As long as he isn''t targeting me, I don''t care if he''s pretending or not."
"Understood."

"A banquet?"

"Is he doing this on purpose? I''m injured. How am I supposed to attend any banquet like this?"
"You can choose to go or not."
"I don''t..."
"But Mr. Lowe wants to let you know that Mr. Nichols will be there too."
"Juan? Why is he in Orkgate?"

Kale parked the car in a prime spot, the only
lot. Done remaining in a crowded
lot. Debra''s attention was drawn to Juanas he emerged from a modest Porsche.
Juan seemed to be alone, without Shelia by his side.
Noticing Debra''s fixation on Juan, Drake said casually, "What''s the point of staring from the car? Let''s get out."
"But I..."
Before she could protest further, Drake swung open the door, pulling her out with him.
Drake''s grand entrance immediatelymanded attention. The murmurs of the crowd shifted to Debra, who walked beside him. "When did Mr. Lowe get a newpanion?"
"If Miss Sharp sees this, she will definitely make a scene."
The crowd buzzed with spection, and Debra could feel Juan''s gaze pierce through the distance,nding squarely on her.
