Chapter 996
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
âI sent her there?â This only angered Debbie further. She shook Meganâs hands away and said sharply,
âMegan, did you hit yourself in the head?
You went to jail because of something you did. You disappeared after what you did to Kasie. What does
that have anything to do with me?
Donât you ever mention Carlos to me. It wonât work. Youâre just wasting your breath. And if you ever do
anything to me againâ¦â Debbieâs voice trailed off, but she gave Megan an evil smile.
Then, just like that, she walked away.
In the club, the music was loud.
Jared trotted over to Debbie and gave her a thumbs-up.
âTomboy, you were impressive back there. Respect. You learned from the best. You were just as cold
as Carlos. And so cool. Youâre my idol from now on.
You have to take me under your wing and teach me.â
Kasie and Sasha agreed.
âMegan was so angry, I could tell. But, of course, she couldnât show you because she was trying to beg
for your mercy! Every time I think of her face, I burst out laughing,â Sasha chimed in.
âThatâs true. Carlosâ eyes were sparkling when he Looked at you. He mustâve been impressed too.â At
that time, Kasie had watched Carlos as
Sasha watched Megan. Nothing had escaped their eyes.
Hearing Kasieâs comments, Debbie smiled bitterly. âCarlos was impressed. So what? Is that what I
want? To impress him? No, I want him to love me.â
Debbie remained silent. The others exchanged a look and decided to drop the topic.
A waiter led them to their booth. Jared opened the menu and threw it onto the table.
âFellas, itâs my treat tonight. Order anything you want. Donât be a stranger.â
âHave you ever seen that movie?â Kasie asked Jared.
âWhat movie?â
The rest of the group looked at her in confusion.
âThe Big Shot.â
Before anyone could realize what she was saying, Kasie put her hands over her mouth and shouted,
âEverybody, Jared picking up the tab tonight!â
âWait, wait, wait. Jared tried to stop her, but it was too late.
A lot of people had already heard her. The DJ even reenacted the scene from the movie by playing
music that pumped up the crowd and shouting in the mic, âMr. Hamptonâ footing the bill tonight!
Cheers!â
That specific line from the movie had stuck with everyone â hoping that it would happen to them in
real life.
And it was happening now. The club was ringing with cheers, laughter, and shouts.
