Chapter 458
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
Jared was totally confused, but his dad wouldnât listen to him.
âI already know you are at the Shining International Plaza. Stay there.
IâLL send somebody there to bring you back. Donât you dare move your ass!â
The old man was not interested in Jaredâs explanations, whatsoever.
So without another word he hung up, leaving Jared in suspense.
Jared clutched Debbieâs arm and implored, âTomboy, help! My dad hasnât been this mad in a long time.
Even on phone, I could almost feel his blood boiling with every single syllable of his lecture.â
âAnd you think I can help you? How?â Debbie asked, obvious doubt coloring her face.
âCall your husband, please! Ask him to tell my dad the truth between you and me. Someone has to let
him know that Iâve never hit on you.â
It sounded as if Jared was on the verge of crying. âIf I ever find out who told my dad that, Iâll roast him
alive!â he promised himself.
The others laughed so hard they actually looked in pain. Some of them had to grip their stomach, while
others had to bend over with the laughter. After watching the scene, Gus left for his girlfriend in an
incredibly good mood.
Later, Debbie called Carlos, just as Carlos had anticipated.
âYouâre calling at a perfect timing. Thereâs a dinner tonight. Iâd like you to go with me,â Carlos said to
her as soon as the phone was connected
âHmm? Okay. Well, Iâd like to ask a favor,â Debbie said.
âI remember thereâs a light gray overcoat in your closet. Try it on later,â Carlos continued, as if he hadnât
heard a single word she had just said.
Debbie thought about what she had in her closet. There were too much clothes. She didnât know
exactly how much clothes she had. Then she realized that was not what she was calling for.
âMr. Handsome, Iâm calling because of Jared.â
Carlos put his feet on the desk.
âDo you like that hairdo?â
âHmm?â She was puzzled.
âThe picture you sent me.â
âOh, I found it hilarious, and then I couldnât help imagining what you would look like in that hairdo.â A
laugh escaped Debbieâs Lips.
Jared turned to her sullenly. âMy life is in her hands now, and there she is, flirting with her husband. She
was even having fun while Iâm in deep shit, â he thought bitterly.
âWhatâs so funny about it?â Carlos wondered.
âItâs hilarious. Didnât you get the picture from me? Didnât you think it was funny?â
âDebbie Nelson! What did you mean by sending me a picture of another man and asking me to copy
him? Did you have a crush on Jared, but he turned you down? And now you are trying to make me look
like him?â
