TAKE MY BREATH AWAY

"It's not what you think. There's nothing going on between Emmett and me. The day we met at Shining International Plaza, I only asked him not to tell you who I was. It's so unfair that he's being punished because of me. Can you forgive him and let him come back? Otherwise, this whole thing will weigh me down; I may not be able to lift the spoon at the dining table."        
   

In her usual playful manner, Debbie forgot how important this was for Emmett and trailed off into a joke. Carlos pried her hand off and left her with a terse message as he left for work—"Be attentive in your lessons."    

Debbie felt frustrated. 'I begged so hard and he left me hanging? He didn't even say whether he had forgiven Emmett or not.'    

After the yoga lesson, Debbie went back to school with the lipsticks. But Carlos' attitude bugged her no end.    

In the dormitory, Debbie gave out the lipsticks to Kasie and Kristina.    

Upon receiving those limited edition shades, Kasie held her tightly and gave her a peck on the cheek. "Tomboy, you are a goddess."    

Kristina tried a magenta lip gloss. She looked great wearing that color. "Debbie, these lipsticks cost $2, 999 each and you gave me more than one. Why are you being silly? You told us you needed money. Why didn't you sell them online?"    

Debbie propped her hand against her chin and answered, "I don't want to bother. Besides I don't like this color and you have been talking a lot about how you love it. So I thought it was perfect to give them to you guys."    

Meanwhile, Kasie removed the fuchsia shade she had just put on and looked at Debbie mischievously. "Have you and your husband made up?" she asked.    

Debbie hesitated, not sure how to put it. "Sort of."    

She had every reason to be angry, but whenever she saw Carlos, she calmed down without knowing why.    

"Making up is good, Debbie. You need to give your all to each other, and that can only happen when both of you are at peace. You have our blessing for that."    

"I'm a big big girl, in a big big world..." Debbie's ringtone went off, interrupting them, right then.    

It was Tristan. "Hello, Tristan," she answered cheerily.    

"Mrs. Huo, Mr. Huo had some items delivered to you. Ashley Ren, another assistant to Mr. Huo, has arrived at your school parking lot. Afraid that you won't take her call since you don't know her phone number, she asked me to inform you about it in advance."    

"Okay, thanks, but what items?" Debbie asked as she stood up from a chair.    

"You'll know when you see them. Ashley Ren drives the company's vehicle, license plate 5566." It seemed Tristan was at the airport, as over the phone, Debbie could hear departure and arrival announcements in the background.    

"Okay, on my way. Thank you, Tristan."    

"My pleasure, Mrs. Huo. You can also take your friends with you if you want."    

Debbie couldn't make head or tail of Tristan's words. At last, she took Kasie and Kristina with her to the school parking lot, where at the entrance stood a white Mercedes SUV, which drew a lot of attention. Many students stopped to admire the sleek car. Some girls even fantasized about a Prince Charming behind the wheel. However, when they found out that the driver was a woman, they left with disappointment.
