The dormitory was the only place Debbie used to go to if she couldn’t make it to the villa in the evening.

However, Carlos had made it clear that she couldn’t live in the dorm anymore. So her friends would have to wait until she managed to change his mind.

Debbie stroked Kristina’s hair lovingly and sighed with resignation. “Doll, I missed you too. But, I can’t stay in the dorm right now. You will have to wait a bit longer.” Debbie comforted Kristina and then planted a gentle kiss on her hand.

“Debbie, no! You can’t turn into a lesbian. There are plenty of handsome guys in our class. Don’t break their hearts like that,” Dixon wailed upon seeing the two girls’ intimate interaction.

Debbie cast him a stare and assured him with a lustful look on her face, “Relax. I won’t break the hearts of those pretty boys in our class.”

The class broke into laughter.

Moments later when the bell rang, the crowd dispersed and everybody went back to their designated seats. Before long, Professor Marc stepped into the classroom and

deliberately cast a glance at Debbie who was sitting in the back of the classroom. ‘Not bad. She looks energetic today, ‘ he mused.

“Now, the class begins,” the professor announced.

These days, although Debbie was still absent-minded in class, she didn’t cause as much trouble as she used to.

When her name hadn’t been mentioned in the broadcast for a few days in a row, her schoolmates were surprised. After all, they had grown accustomed to hearing her name being called out every so often.

Nonetheless, a leopard cannot change its spots.

Just when her teachers and schoolmates thought that she was becoming a good student, Debbie was once again called into the dean’s office

because of cutting class for a whole week.

Contrary to her expectations, this time, the dean let her leave the office with only a warning.

Before she could figure out why the dean had suddenly decided to show her mercy, her phone beeped.

It was a notification from WeChat. However, when she opened the message to read the news from her university’s official account, her jaw dropped to the floor. The message stated that Carlos Huo was going to be a part-time lecturer at the university.

“Hey, Debbie, have you read the news? Carlos Huo is coming to our school as a lecturer,” Kasie said excitedly, swinging her phone in the air as she clutched at Debbie’s sleeve.

Stunned, Debby stared straight at Kasie and nodded absent-

lope in one hand. “Mr. Huo, 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 Mrs. Huo 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 Han?”

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.”

“Yes, Mr. Huo.”

No sooner had Tristan turned around than he heard Carlos say, “I don’t want to see Emmett again in the next two years.”

Shocked to the bone, Tristan prayed for Emmett silently.

Finally, it was Carlos’ first day as a lecturer at the Economics and Management School. He started his day earlier than usual. However, to his disappointment, even after he had exercised, showered and eaten his breakfast, he still didn’t see Debbie anywhere.

“Philip, where is she?”

Philip knew Carlos was referring to Debbie. “Mrs. Huo has asked for a one-week leave from school. She went to the airport early this morning,” he answered calmly.
