Take My Breath Away

Chapter 93: I've Heard What You Said

Carlos had been a little unhappy about Debbie being late for class. But her confession of feelings filled his heart with joy.         

    

However, when he looked at her, he noticed that she was staring at something. He turned back and noticed a group of students were watching them. Immediately, he realized that the confession was just part of some game his wife was playing.     

But he didn't seem to mind. He pulled her back into his arms and said, "I've heard what you said. Now go to your class."     

Seeing what was happening, Gail was so shocked she couldn't feel her legs anymore. She collapsed onto one of her friends and wondered, 'What on earth is Debbie's relationship with Carlos Huo?     

Not only didn't he push her away, but he actually hugged her! There must be something going on between them.'     

Having achieved her goal, Debbie wriggled out of Carlos' arms and apologized to Curtis, who was looking at them in disbelief. "I'm sorry that you had to hear my confession of feelings again, Mr. Lu. I'm going to my class now. Bye."     

She had hardly turned around before Carlos took her by the wrist and said, "I'll pick you up after class this afternoon."     

With her mind totally on Gail, she replied casually, "Um...     

Okay."     

Carlos watched as Debbie left. He was sure that his wife had just used him as a pawn.     

But he still looked happy. Curtis laughed, "I should have listened to her and left."     

Carlos responded flatly, "I'm going back to my company. My classes will be resumed next week as scheduled."     

His wife was still a little imp. He had to put more effort into her.     

Curtis patted his shoulder. "I'm looking forward to the day when you will address me differently."     

Carlos raised his eyebrows in confusion. "Perhaps, I should do a background check on you and my wife."     

Sensing his jealousy, Curtis waved his hand and said, "There's no need for that. You will know it sooner or later. You just need to believe that I won't harm her."     

When the bell rang, Carlos got into the vehicle and Ashley started the engine.     

The Rolls-Royce Phantom slowed to a stop when it reached Debbie. Then the black tinted window was rolled down and revealed Carlos' handsome face. All the girls that were around held their breaths in anticipation. However, Carlos only had eyes for one.     

He reproached, "Think about what you could do to get me to forgive you for being several minutes late for class."     

Everyone that was around was stunned to hear what he said.     

The way he spoke to Debbie was totally different.     

"How about I treat you to dinner?" Debbie quickly blurted out.     

"I don't accept bribery." He turned her down flatly.     

The window was wound up again and the Rolls-Royce sped away.     

Once the vehicle had left, Debbie's classmates surrounded her and bombarded her with questions about what her relationship with Carlos was.     

"When did you meet Mr. Huo?" someone asked.         

    

"Why didn't he reject you?" wondered another student.     

While she was texting Carlos, Debbie answered them casually, "Oh, about that. Well, once Gail apologizes to me and you guys sing 'Bad Romance', I'll explain it all to you."     

She pressed "Send" and the message read, "Mr. Handsome, I'm sprinting to the classroom now. Can you forgive me?"     

He simply replied, "Do I need to show you the surveillance footage of your school?"     

Debbie pulled a face towards the phone, meant for Carlos. He indeed knew her well.     

Some girls crowded around Gail, asking her to apologize to Debbie. Gail assumed a sad face and wrung out some tears, hoping to get off lightly.     

But the girls weren't buying it. They wanted her to do it as soon as possible, so they could hear all about Carlos and Debbie's relationship.     

Gail had no other choice but to do what Debbie had asked of her. So she took a deep breath and put her head back, shouting ten times, "Debbie, I'm sorry—"     

Hearing that, Debbie had a big smile on her face, as pleased as punch. Embarrassing the person that she hated really made her day, especially since Gail was always picking on her.     

The girls were supposed to then stand under the national flag and sing the song, "Bad Romance." Since classes had already begun, there were only a few students passing by that would hear them. Gail wanted to chicken out. But the girls couldn't stand the suspense any longer. They were eager to find out the juicy information about Carlos and Debbie. So they grabbed Gail and dragged her under the national flag and sang the song.     

The scene went viral on the school forum.     

However, when the girls asked Debbie about her relationship with Carlos, she simply said, "Why don't you ask him?"     

After that, she turned on her heels and walked away.     

The girls were left speechless and furious.     

Soon, rumors about Debbie and Carlos traveled around the campus. The most popular version was that Debbie hooked up with Carlos Huo and was his mistress. And another was how she confessed her love for Carlos Huo on campus but was turned down.     

Debbie and her friends had hardly sat down in the last row of the classroom when Carlos sent her a message. "Did you have fun?"     

Debbie was puzzled. She texted back. "What do you mean?"     

"What were you doing just now?" replied Carlos. Debbie realized that he already knew about what had happened between her and Gail. She looked around half expecting to see him there. 'How did he do that? Does he have six pairs of eyes?' she wondered.     

After what had happened that day, no one on campus dared to mess with Debbie again, so she finally enjoyed some peace.     

However, on the flip side of the matter, she had to deal with a girl who was standing in front of her and expressing her feelings for Carlos. "Debbie, I really am crazy about Mr. Huo. I have liked him for more than ten years. Can you give me his WeChat or Facebook account?"     

Debbie sat up frowning and replied, "I don't have it. You can ask him yourself in his class the next time you see him." She was telling the truth. All she had was his phone number.     

To her surprise, the shy girl suddenly made a hideous face and said sarcastically, "I thought you were close to Mr. Huo! It turns out you don't even have his contact information. How dare you pretend to be his woman!"     

"Damn it!" Debbie couldn't help cursing under her breath. Then she slapped the table and demanded, "What the heck do you mean by pretending to be his woman? Don't you dare to leave before you explain yourself!"     

Her classmates fled the classroom one after another when they saw her flare up.     

Was this the same graceful girl who had danced at the Solar New Year's Gala? They all wondered.         

    

The other girl was terrified. Even without Carlos, Debbie was scary enough. The girl swallowed and stammered, "It is said that you are Mr. Huo's woman. Didn't you start the rumor? People also say that you hugged Mr. Huo. Is it true?" The girl stared at Debbie curiously.     

"No, it's not," Debbie replied firmly.     

Then Jared took out his cell phone and showed her the picture on his phone, at which Debbie suddenly became speechless. Someone had photographed the scene where she had hugged Carlos and expressed her feelings for him and uploaded it on the forum. It had racked up countless views and likes.
