Debbie rolled her eyes at her phone screen where the nickname "C" flashed on it. She typed a message. "I'm a married woman. If you crack such jokes again, I'll definitely blacklist you!"
The guy, C, replied to her, "I want to be friends with you."
She felt bored after chatting with him, so she locked her phone and put it back into her pocket.
Debbie bent over the table and sipped her milk tea through a straw. A moment later, Kasie and Kristina walked into their old haunt, No. 99 Milk Tea. Debbie waved her hand to them lazily and called out, "Hey, I'm here."
Kasie sat down next to her and asked curiously, "I thought you weren't going to play truant again. Why did you bunk off school today?"
A few days ago, Debbie had told them that she wouldn't dare skip school again because Carlos would punish her if she did. They weren't expecting Debbie to go back on her word so soon.
Kristina was more considerate than Kasie. The moment she saw Debbie, she realized that something was wrong. "Debbie, were you crying?" she asked in a voice full of concern.
It was not until then that Kasie noticed that Debbie's eyes were red and swollen.
Debbie ordered two cups of milk tea for her friends before she cursed through gritted teeth, "Carlos Huo is such a jerk!"
Kasie immediately covered Debbie's mouth with her hand. "Shh! Look, I know that Carlos Huo is your husband, but keep those kinds of words to yourself. Do not curse him in public. If his fans hear you, you're definitely screwed!"
Debbie did not care for her warning. She shoved Kasie's hand away and snapped back, "I'm cursing my own husband. What does it have to do with them?"
Kristina approached her and whispered in her ear, "They don't know that Carlos Huo is your husband. A girl cursed him at an airport because she had failed to attract his attention. And that caught the attention of his fans. The girl ended up being beaten up and taken to the hospital."
Debbie's jaw dropped at Kristina's surprising words. She gulped hard and exclaimed in a low voice, "That's crazy! If they found out that I'm married to him, would they go insane and cut me into pieces?"
Kasie nodded and feigned a serious tone. "They would. So you better watch your language. " And she couldn't hold it anymore and burst into a fit of laughter.
Kristina tapped Kasie's arm, gesturing for her to not tease Debbie again. "Tomboy, tell us why you are in such a bad mood. Who was terrible enough to make you cry? We'll teach them not to mess with our friend."
They had known Debbie for years, and they had only seen her cry once after her father had passed away. This was the second time they had seen her cry.
"Oh forget it! You possibly couldn't teach Carlos Huo anything. I've cried so many times because of him now. That bastard!" Although she hated to admit it, Debbie had been in tears several times since Carlos had moved back into the villa.
Kristina and Kasie shared a knowing look.
Kasie asked sighing, "Did you piss him off again?"
"Hey! He's the one who's making me cry again and again. Why won't you blame him for his behavior? He's such a jerk! A good man would never make his girl cry." Debbie was puzzled by their lack of support. Kristina and Kasie despised men who made girls cry. But why weren't they taking her side this time?
The two girls shook their heads and said in unison, "I don't dare."
Even if his crazy fans were not around, they wouldn't dare curse Carlos Huo in Y City. After all, this was his domain.
Debbie stared at her friends, mouth agape. 'I asked you to come here to console me. But instead, you have managed to make me more upset!' She waved her hand and dismissed them. "You guys should leave. I don't want to see you right now." She'd rather stay alone than be with people who didn't understand her.
The waitress came with their milk tea at that moment. Kasie put her cup aside and held Debbie's hand in hers. "We were just joking with you. Don't be mad. Tell us, what happened between you and him?"
After a pause, Debbie said in an angry tone, "Do you still remember how Carlos and I had a fight in J City regarding who would be on top? I thought about it, and decided to give in to him. So I went to his office today... And just when..." She was too embarrassed to continue.
She blushed scarlet. Although she was used to discussing these things with her friends, it felt totally different when it came to her own life. She didn't know how to continue.
Seeing their excited eyes, she covered her face with her hands and stammered, "W-When we were about to begin... he...uh...thought I was not...a virgin." She peeked at them through the gap between her fingers. They were looking at her eagerly. She continued, "He said that since it was not my first time, I shouldn't be too nervous. And he also went on to say that he didn't care whether I or my ex was on top before. I was so pissed off!"
She dropped her hands and banged the table in frustration. "He's such an ass! How could he think of me like that? He had even called me a slut once before he knew that I'm his wife."
Kristina and Kasie were startled by the rattling of the table and tried to console her, "Easy, Debbie! Relax."
There were not many guests in the shop, but the employees were attracted by the loud sound. They all turned to stare at them, frowning.
Realizing what she had done, Debbie gave them an apologetic smile and then lowered her head to take a sip of her drink.
Kasie chuckled. "So, you failed to get laid again? This is hilarious!"
Debbie nodded while pouting. How could she have sex with him after being insulted like that?
Kasie sighed with profound resignation and said, "If I were you, I would've gone on with it and proved to him that I was a virgin. It would have been a tight slap in his face and then you should have forced him to kneel before you and apologize."
"Kneel before me and apologize? He would never do that." Debbie shook her head, knowing Carlos very well.
'It's Carlos Huo. The great Mr. President. He seldom apologizes, let alone kneel before me, ' Debbie mused.
"Come on, Tomboy! Why are you being so naive? It should be a run in the park for you to make him do such a small thing as kneeling." Kasie flashes a sly smile and winked at Debbie.
Kristina got her meaning instantly and giggled. Seeing Debbie's confused expression, she approached her and whispered in her ear, "Well...if you have sex with him in a regular position, then he will be kneeling before you. So..."
Her voice was very low, but Debbie heard her every word clearly and her face instantly turned bright red.
"Kristina! I thought you were an innocent girl. This is all because of Kasie! She is such a bad influence on you!"
Kasie felt wronged and retorted, "Hey Tomboy! This has nothing to do with me. I'm single, but Kristina has a boyfriend. She knows much more than I do. And although you know very little about all this right now, I'm sure that you'll be sophisticated enough once you become Carlos' woman. After all, your husband looks like he's experienced."
Annoyed, Debbie pinched her arm, and they began to fight in jest.
Kristina, however, did not agree with Kasie. "I don't think that Mr. Huo is an experienced man in this matter. My guess is that he's still a virgin. Otherwise, why would he always piss Debbie off like this? He knows next to nothing about women, and he is emotionally unavailable. He has also failed to sleep with out Debbie even after such a long time."
After some consideration, Kasie nodded. "That makes perfect sense. Debbie, you are so lucky!"
Debbie was dumbfounded. "I'm lucky? How?"
Kasie and Kristina said nothing more, but winked at her with a cunning smile. Unable to bear them anymore, Debbie pouted and asked in fury, "Are you hare to console me or to make fun of me?"
Kasie tried hard to hold back her laughter and said, "Easy, Deb. Just listen to me. Fuck him once and slap him in the face with the truth that you're a virgin."
