A sudden flash of lightning lit up the dark room for a second, and Debbie caught sight of the man sleeping in bed.
Her feet tiptoed on the thick carpet, and she walked up to his bed silently.
3… 2… 1… She got there! “Ahhh!” Before she was able to celebrate, she was shoved face down onto the bed.
With her hands pressed against her back, she tried her best to turn her head. Finally, she managed to squeeze out a few words through her gritted teeth. “It’s me, Debbie. Let go of me, Carlos.”
Carlos shook his head to sober himself up and then released her hands. “What are you doing in my room at this hour of the night?”
If he had a gun, he would have pointed it at her head.
Debbie heaved a sigh of relief when she was released. ‘Oh my God! Is he always so jumpy even when he’s asleep?’ “I… I wanted to check if you were asleep.”
She made an excuse, turned over to lie down and looked at the man who was now sitting on the bed.
“I was asleep,” he said impatiently.
“Uh… Go back to sleep.” Debbie closed her eyes and lay still.
Carlos looked at her in confusion. ‘Shouldn’t she get off the bed and leave my room? Why is she still lying here?’
“Well, are you implying that you want to sleep with me?”
His straightforward words made her cheeks blush red with shame. She immediately covered her chest with her hands and argued, “Don’t talk nonsense! I was just… I thought you’d be afraid to sleep on your own, so I came here to keep you company.”
Debbie was too proud to admit that she was the one who was afraid of sleeping alone.
Carlos was amused by her lame excuse. ‘I’m afraid to sleep on my own? Are you kidding me? Why can’t you just admit that you want my company?’ “I’m not afraid of sleeping alone. I’m only afraid of being raped by you,” he teased.
“Hey, watch your tongue! Don’t flatter yourself. I’m not interested in you at all. I’m just sleepy. I need to sleep now.” Just after she said that, she sat up straight.
Carlos thought she was leaving, but actually she lay back and tucked herself in.
Baffled, he demanded, “Out!” He wasn’t used to sleeping with another person in the same bed.
“No! I must accompany you!” Debbie was resilient.
He rubbed his arching brows and explained, “I’m not used to sleeping with others.”
“You’re lying. I know it. You just don’t want to hurt Miss Mi’s heart.”
‘Miss Mi? Who’s she?’ he thought to himself. After pausi
erently, “There are too many students who want to take Mr. Huo’s class. We’re here to maintain public order. You are boys. Can’t you be generous enough to let these adorable girls take his class?”
A girl, who was about to enter, overheard their conversation and turned around. She cast a scornful glance at the boys and said, “Exactly. Be a gentleman, okay?”
All the boys were rendered speechless.
Jared flung his arm around a boy’s shoulders and announced in a loud voice, “Guys, what a lovely, sunny day! I’d like to treat you guys to a game of golf this morning. And we can grab lunch right after.”
Very few people were able to resist temptations of such degree. Moreover, even fewer people were brave enough to turn Jared down.
As a result, Carlos was caught by surprise when he entered the classroom. The classroom smelled strongly of women’s perfume, and there were almost a thousand girls present. Carlos was the only man in the classroom.
Baffled, he put his stuff on the desk and swept this eyes over the crowd. When his eyes caught sight of a girl who was wearing a proud smile, he immediately realized what was going on.
Instantly, he figured out that this was all a part of Debbie’s revenge.
Without further ado, he turned on the projector and started the class. “Good morning, everyone. Class begins now. What I’m going to talk about today is the current situation of financial technology industry…”
No wonder countless girls fawned over Carlos.
Watching the handsome man carry out his work in a diligent manner rendered the girls breathless and made their hearts skip a beat.
