Burning Passion: Love Never Die
Chapter: 125
âBelieve me. Iâm not in love. Itâs just that my self-esteem was hurt, so now Iâm trying to fix it.â
Challenged and then rejected by a man, she started to suspect that she wasnât charming enough for
him.
âOkay. Since everybody is free tonight, why donât we hang out together?â Kasie suggested. Besides,
the next day was Saturday. No school.
After arranging to meet at Esastin Villa, they left for the supermarket to buy some food and drinks.
When they got to the elevator, Debbie spotted a man and a woman in an ad on the LED screen.
In the ad, Olga, delicately made up and in a cream dress, was intimately standing by a man wearing a
dark blue suit. With their arms interlocked, she was smiling at the camera happily.
âCarlos and Olga, you two make a perfect couple,â the host said.
Olga didnât say anything but smiled at the host. A clever move. In this case, silence was the best
response.
Kasie shook Debbieâs arm and pointed at the screen excitedly.
âIsnât that Carlos? And the woman next to him is⦠Wait. Why is that Olga with him again? Are they
getting married or something?â
âShe really isnât good enough for Carlos. Carlos is not only handsome but also well-read. Olga would
be lucky to be with a man Like him,â
Kristina sighed.
The ad and her friendsâ comments made Debbieâs insides boil up with anger. She stared at the man in
the ad angrily and cursed him in her heart.
âThere he is, a married man, fooling around with another woman. Bah!
What a pig!â
Kasie caught her resentful glare.
âDebbie, donât hate Carlos so much.
Even though you two seem to be fated to be enemies, at least you are lucky enough to have met a
man like him. We, however, werenât blessed with the same kind of opportunities.â
Debbie kept her lips pursed. When they got everything from the supermarket, they headed for the villa.
Tonight would only be about Debbie and her best friends. Jared, Dixon,
Kristina, and Kasie had been to the villa a couple of times before
Carlos had moved back, so they were familiar with the place.
After Debbie had sent Julie home early, the boys and girls were left alone to eat, drink, and be merry.
They had a Lot of fun.
At 10 p.m. after having gulped down tens of cans of beer, they were all quite tipsy. The Living room was
a mess. Empty cans and boxes, used tissues, and fruit peel covered the floor, looking like a carpet of
garbage. Debbie and Kasie were singing a soppy love song. Kristina and
Dixon crouched on the sofa, whispering and Laughing amongst themselves while Jared was alone.
Suddenly, he lifted his leg and gave Dixon a kick.
