Chapter 306
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
Carlos was so unapproachable. They felt it didnât make sense for him to marry a plain girl Like Debbie.
âHayden?â Sebastian tried to remember the man.
âHe just came home from abroad recently, but in a short time, with the help of his powerful family, heâs
already quite influential in Alorith. I donât know much about him, though. Iâll do a background check on
him later,â he promised.
âThatâs not necessary. Since heâs Debbieâs husband, she has agreed to bring him here for dinner some
day. Weâll know more when he comes.â
âOkay,â Sebastian agreed.
When Debbie got to the villa, Carlos wasnât back home from work yet.
When she passed by the Living room, she saw the tens of bags of various sizes on the floor. It was
only then that she remembered she had been on a shopping spree before she had gone to her auntâs.
She had bought a load of cosmetics at the Shining International Plaza.
Even she herself was shocked by the number of the extravagance. When did she become so wasteful?
Was that the right kind of influence she was picking from Carlos? On the nightly shopping spree, she
had gone to Shining International Plaza to buy a tobacco pipe for Sebastian. But on impulse, she had
visited the cosmetics shop, which happened to be running a sales promo.
She was lured by a sales assistant who pushed a pitch of ridiculously discounted items.
But when Debbie got to the counter to pay for what she had picked, she realized she had been tricked.
She hated their bait and switch sales tactics, but she didnât want the embarrassment of appearing that
she was a flat broke ass, so she just accepted the items. With a kit of hydrating toner, lotion, and cream
going at $10, 000, the prices were simply over the top, forcing her to call Carlos for his opinion before
she paid for anything. It was his money after all. To her surprise, he upbraided her.
âDebbie, I have loads of money that youâll never finish a fraction in a thousand Lifetimes. You canât
afford to be a penny pincher when you have my money and my heart, dear. If you ever hesitate again
to spend the money, IâLL move the most expensive cosmetics shop in the Shining
International Plaza into your bedroom,â he warned.
After the brief call, Debbie leisurely walked back to the counter and paid for the cosmetics without
batting an eyelid. She had been hesitant about the hydration essence and face mask a moment ago,
but after his nudging on the phone, there was not a thing sheâd leave out.
After paying, she called him once more and proudly anounced, âMr
Handsome, I just blew $36, 570 on the damn things. A good treat, huh?â
Carlos was glad that she finally bought herself something fancy, but
Debbie despised that needless obscene spending
âALL the skin care products are having a sales promotion now. The customers who have spent $200,
@00 or more will get a free 8-day trip to the Maldives. Accommodation, refreshments, transportation,
all included. Deb, wouldnât you fancy an all expenses paid trip to the
Maldives?â Carlos asked.
Debbie nodded violently, âYes, yes, I do. But⦠how can I manage to spend so much money on one
nightâs shopping spree?â
The so-called free trip would only be a fraction of the money spent at the mall first. Annoyed by the
manipulative sales gimmicks, she passed by as if she hadnât heard what the sales crew were touting.
âWhat have you bought?â Carlos asked on the phone.
After hearing Debbie out, he continued, âGo buy two more sets of the same items, if you donât mind. In
addition, you can also buy some lipsticks and other cosmetics. Stay away from the cheap ones,
please.â
Debbie was astounded.
