Burning Passion: Love Never Die

Chapter: 55

“I have something urgent to finish. So I’ll be leaving now.”

‘Well, actually I can call him Uncle. He’s so strict with me that he reminds me of my father. But, ‘ Debbie thought, still trapped in her own musings, ‘if I really call him Uncle, he will surely get irritated.

The young lady refrained from voicing out her thoughts, for if she did, it would throw out her entire plan of not getting on the wrong side of her husband.

But upon hearing Debbie call him ‘Sir’, Carlos could not help but furrow his brows while saying nothing for a while. Gracefully, he wiped his lips with a napkin, and said,” I’ll drive you to the university after you have breakfast.”

He then opened his laptop, burying himself with his work. Once again, his walls were up.

Although Debbie wanted to turn him down, she decided against speaking up. The young lady could already imagine how he would react if she insisted on going to the university on her own. She did not want to be frozen to death by his cold glare. Nor did she want to be thrown into the sea or buried alive. Well, not again.

In a slow and cautious manner, Debbie walked over to the expensive mahogany dining table and sat as far away from him as possible.

There was no question about how good Julie was at cooking. But Debbie simply had no appetite at all. His presence made it difficult for her to enjoy her meal. While putting food into her mouth, she kept stealing glances at Carlos every now and then. It was like she was not anticipating the slightest sound coming from her to annoy him. By the time she finished her breakfast, her forehead was wet with sweat.

The lady stared at her hands under the table. A stomachache this morning did not seem out of the question.

When Carlos noticed that she was done, he stood up, picked up his briefcase from the couch, and headed towards the entrance.

Sighing with profound resignation, Debbie grabbed her backpack and followed after him.

When she got out of the house, there was a black car parked right before her. Something about the vehicle appeared to be very striking, but she could not quite point a finger at it. Through the car window, she saw that Carlos was sitting in the back seat. Groaning, she did not approach the car at once. Where should she sit? Next to him in the back seat?

The mere prospect of being close to him sent shivers down her spine.

“No, ‘ she thought stubbornly, ‘I do not want to die out of fright!

Hm. but maybe I can sit in the passenger seat.’ The young Lady was too focused on staying away from Carlos to notice he was running out of patience. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I have no time to wait for you,” he stated from inside the car. The harshness in his voice brought Debbie back to her senses. Darting towards the car, she opened the door of the passenger seat. To her disappointment, however, it was already occupied by Carlos’ belongings.

Left with no choice, she could only shut the door and sit behind with him. As Carlos was sitting on the left, she took the right side.

Neither of them spoke another word while the car moved slowly. Casting a glance at Debbie from the car window, Philip noticed the girl lean against the car door, averting Carlos as if he were the plague.

Sighing, he thought, ‘Debbie used to be a cheerful and lively girl. Now that she’s in front of Carlos, she looks so cautious and reserved. She must be frightened of him.’

Twenty minutes Later, a black Luxurious car stopped along the entrance of the Economics and Management School of Alorith University.

Seeing luxurious cars at the university was not anything out of the ordinary as many of the students came from wealthy families.

In fact, many students often took delight in parading their high status.

However, the car that was parked in the entrance of the university was worth at least tens of millions of dollars. Who could own such an extravagant set of wheels? It was for this reason that it caught several people’s attention.

“Thank you, sir. Goodbye!” Debbie said hastily. As soon as the words left her mouth, she pushed the door open and ran as fast as she could.

It looked so comical, as though she were being chased by some fierce animal.
