Chapter 278
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
âWhy not? Donât you want people to know weâre a couple?â Carlos asked, not happy. Even though she
had told him she Loved him in public Last time, that was because she wanted to mess with Gail. He
knew that, too.
Carlos was frustrated and wondered why Debbie was acting like this.
Debbie was a little startled by his reaction. She immediately put on a mollifying smile and explained,
âDonât get me wrong, Boss. You know who you are. If people saw me in your car, I wouldnât get a
momentâs peace.
Really!â
âHmph! You are not allowed to get out unless you give me some sugar.â
Debbie snaked her arms around his neck, kissed him on the lips and called out in a sweet voice,
âHoney!â
He held her, pressed the back of her head and kissed her affectionately. He didnât let her go until she
started to struggle.
While Debbie was rearranging her down coat, Carlos pressed a button to lower the partition and told
Emmett, âOpen the door for Debbie.â
âYes, Carlos.â
âSeriously? I can open the door myself.â Debbie wanted to turn him down, but Emmett had already left
the car.
Before getting out, she zipped her coat to the top, put her hood up and pulled the drawstrings tight, so
that only her eyes were exposed.
When she entered the dorm, Kristina was still asleep. But not for long.
Seeing a shivering Debbie running into the room, she stuck her head out of the quilt and sleepily
asked, âHey Tomboy, when did you Leave?â
âI just went back home to fetch something. Itâs snowing outside. Why donât we enjoy the winter
wonderland and take some selfies?â While saying this, Debbie took out a heating pad from the drawer
and plugged it in. Wrapping it around her hands, she felt much warmer now.
Sitting up, Kristina looked at Kasieâs empty bed and asked in confusion, âDidnât Kasie sleep in the dorm
last night? I wonder where she went.â
âNo, Kasie didnât sleep here last night, but I do have a funny story about her!â Debbie said as she threw
the wrappings of her heating pad into the bin and sat on her chair.
âShe asked her dad for ten thousand dollars yesterday to pay for some VIP membership. Her dad,
though, accidentally transferred a hundred thousand dollars instead! Right after she received the
money, she felt scared that her dad might ask her to wire the ninety thousand back. So, she blacklisted
him right away! She had much fun in a club last night, Iâm guessing!â
âHahahaha!â Kristina burst into Laughter.
âI guess her dad will come to school to teach her a lesson today,â she replied as she got out of bed and
began to get dressed.
âMaybe he will. He already complained that Kasieâs monthly expenses are way above average,â Debbie
said.
Suddenly, Kristina realized something and eyed Debbie from head to toe.
âYou were in a bad mood just last night! Now, youâre bubbly like a spring flower. Let me guess. Did you
see your husband this morning?â she asked suspiciously.
Debbie looked so much better now than she had yesterday. She was clearly in a bad mood even when
she and Jared set off to the club she worked at. But now, she was smiling and was sporting a very
sunny disposition.
Kristina didnât believe that it was all because of that funny story.
âMmm⦠I saw him this morning,â Debbie replied. She didnât plan to keep it from Kristina, anyway.
Besides, she and Kristina were currently alone in the dorm room. Their other classmate, Kasie, and
their three other roommates, who had different majors, were all out for classes.
