[Chapter 47]

"Not so arrogant now, are you?" Alex looked at Bruno like he was a stray dog. "So, I assume Mr. Woodsworth told you what to do, right? So, get started."

"Yes." Bruno bit his lip so hard that it started bleeding. He straightened up, took a deep breath, and then lowered himself to the floor in front of Alex. "Master," he said. "I beg your forgiveness."

He grovelled again and said, "Master, please forgive my stupidity."

And then, "Master, please forgive me."

None of the bystanders mocked Bruno. Confused, they watched Alex with a mixture of respect, envy, and adoration. This handsome young man was so powerful. But who was he? And why was such an important man like Mr Woodsworth so respectful toward him?

Alex looked down at the bleeding Bruno with a faint smile. He glanced around at the dirty floor that Bruno would have to lick clean with his tongue, and he felt a little sympathy for him.

Still, Bruno had no one to blame but himself.

Alex wasn't in the mood to watch him lick the floor clean. Instead, he returned to the kitchen. Debbie had already changed her clothes, so he took her hand, and they left the restaurant.

Reunited now, they were happy to be together. They chatted and laughed, and everything seemed to be good again.

Alex held Debbie's hand as they strolled along the streets of New York. Noticing how much weight she had lost recently, a trace of tenderness rose in his heart.

"Debbie, I won't allow you to suffer anymore." He lifted her hand to his mouth and lightly kissed it.

"Okay," she replied meekly. Her heart filled with joy, but her stomach picked that moment to rumble loudly.

"Your stomach really knows how to spoil the mood, Debbie," he teased her. "And here I am, being all romantic..."

She pretended to glare at him and lightly punched his chest. "Don't laugh!"

His lips twisted, as he tried to hold back his laughter.

"If you laugh again... Well, if you laugh, I'll stop liking you." She tossed her head and began to walk away.

"I'm just teasing," he said. "Come on, let's go and get dinner. There's a great place just over there." He wanted to drag her somewhere nice and feed her properly.

She lightly smacked the back of his head. "Do you still intend to repay me?" she asked. "Then you need to save your money."

"Debbie, I really am rich," he said, rubbing at his head. But she just watched him helplessly, clearly not believing him.

Eventually, they decided to go back to the university.

"Alex, can we eat by Ramsey Lake?" she asked. Looking at the campus after being away for a while, she felt a little anxious about being back. He agreed, and they walked over to her favourite spot by the water.

"Okay, sit here and wait for me. I'll go get some food and return in a few minutes." He smiled and ran off toward the cafeteria.

"Wait," she called. "I'll go with you." But he had already run off and was too far away to hear her. She shook her head and sat down on the big rock. She looked out at the rippling surface of the lake, and for the first time in days, she managed to relax.

"Well, if it isn't that little bitch Debbie," came a cold female voice.

Debbie shivered. She turned around and saw Maddison and her two friends, Linda and Georgia, walking toward her. Alarmed, she quickly stood up.
