“I must be mistaken.”
“Carlos is coming to our university to give lectures the day after tomorrow. He is a Learned scholar. You should attend his classes. Trust me, you will benefit from it. So, my advice for you is to stay at school unless there is something urgent that you need to attend to.”
He was so polite and gentle that Debbie felt it would be embarrassing to cause a scene.
“I don’t want to attend his classes. I want a one-week leave,” she said frankly.
Curtis was about to refill his cup when her words registered in his mind and caused his hands to shake a little.
“You want to stay away from school just to avoid Carlos? Is that it?”
Debbie nodded.
For the first time in his life, he found someone who hated Carlos so much. However, Curtis understood what she had meant. She sounded just like the Debbie he knew all along.
“Okay, ” said Curtis. Debbie was baffled for a moment, shaking her head in disbelief.
“O-Okay? You mean I have your consent?” she confirmed.
Curtis raised his head and looked at her.
“If I say no, will you attend his classes?”
She was rendered wordless. At the same time, she realized how dangerous her principal was. She had underestimated his ability to read people’s minds.
Ironically, she had already made up her mind about cutting school in case Curtis refused to give her his permission, even before she walked into his office.
At Hilton Group, Tristan walked into the CEO’s office with a file envelope in one hand.
“Carlos, here is the information you wanted.”
Carlos stopped whatever he was doing to open the envelope and then carefully went through what was in the file. There were five pieces of paper.
“How did she meet Emmett?”
“Before, when Debbie came here to see you, it was Emmett who received her. But that was it. There were no further contacts between them after that.”
Carlos lit a cigarette.
“What is her relationship with Jared?” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
His eyes then shifted to the column about her hobbies and weaknesses, which specifically aroused his curiosity. ‘What? Afraid of 4D+ movies, snakes, darkness… It seems like she isn’t as tough as she looks. Just a little girl after all.‘ Carlos chuckled when he read about her weaknesses.
Tristan recalled how her friends had responded when he asked them about their relationships with Debbie.
“Dude. Good buddies.” They had all given the same answer. Tristan was especially amused by that.
“Okay. You may Leave now.”
