Chapter 635
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
Portia wrote, âI have a VIP card with 50, 000 dollars, for the largest hair salon at the Shining
International Plaza. Go ahead and use my card.â
Debbie could sense the sarcasm in Portiaâs comment.
Portia had become more and more aggressive against her. She seemed to smell blood, and like any
shark, was attracted to it. Debbie didnât know why. âIâve been done with Hayden for a Long time. Why is
she still pissed?â Debbie wondered
âThank you for your kindness, Portia. But I haveâ¦â Debbie was typing a reply. She paused and
wondered what was the highest amount of the VIP card in that hair salon. She giggled mischievously.
Anyway, Portia didnât know any better. Debbie decided to brag about it. She continued to write, âI have
a VIP card with 200, 000 dollars in it. If your 50,
000-dollar VIP card isnât enough, you can call me and we can use mine together.â
Portia didnât take the bait and reply instantly. Instead, she asked her man to confirm it.
Emmett had already upgraded the card of the hair salon by the time
Portiaâs men called the receptionist there. The worker had already put the money into Debbieâs VIP
card five minutes before the call. After getting the answer, Portiaâs man reported to her, âPortia,
Debbieâs VIP card indeed has 200, 000 dollars, and together with the 50, @00-dollar bonus, she has
250, @0@ in total.â
Portia was dumbfounded, her mouth agape.
Clutching her phone tightly, she hung up quickly. She wondered, âWhy does Emmett have so much
money to spend on Debbie? Heâs just an assistant. Maybe he takes bribes?â
Now, the thought of hitting on Carlos burned stronger inside Portiaâs heart.
She began to fantasize the day when she would be the new Mrs. Hilton.
The first thing she would do was ask Carlos to investigate Emmett. If he was found out to have
accepted any bribes, heâd be locked up. That way, Debbie would lose everything. She grinned broadly
as she pictured the scene.
There was still no reply from Portia. Debbie didnât care, either. She closed the WeChat app and shifted
her attention to the various lipsticks inside the lit glass counter. There were tons of shades, and accents
on top of that. With exotic names like After Midnight, Love
Bites, Everglow, and A Little Magic, there was a lipstick for practically every mood, if your mood was to
attract a guy, of course.
And with selections in matte, satin, or metallic finish, it was difficult for Debbie to make a choice.
âNo, Debbie. You have more than enough Lipsticks at home. Leave now and stop spending money!
But this color is so beautifulâ¦â Debbie battled with herself in her mind. In the end, she couldnât resist
the temptation and bought one more shade of lipstick. In the end, she decided on Moonlit Night, a
mauve-ish shade that promised to give her a refined and elegant Look.
Debbie had eaten dinner outside before coming back to the manor. Carlos hadnât come home from
work yet, so she went to the yoga room. After doing a few poses, like Tree Pose and Downward Dog,
she decided to head to the music room afterwards.
Carlos didnât come back until eleven oâclock at night. He found Debbie in the music studio and she was
concentrating on writing a song.
He caught a glimpse of her scribbles on the paper. There were crosses or dots under most of the
words. It seemed that she wasnât satisfied with the lyrics she had come up with
Carlos stood behind her and patiently waited for a few moments. Yet, she didnât notice his presence.
He stayed silent, even held his breath, trying to make himself as unobtrusive as possible.
âYou.
âAargh!â Her high-pitched shriek interrupted his unspoken words.
Debbie jerked around to stare at the man who had sprung up from nowhere, her face white as a sheet.
His sudden voice startled her so much that she felt like she was having a heart attack. As it was, she
was still trembling.
