Chapter: 125
“Believe me. I’m not in love. It’s just that my self-esteem was hurt, so now I’m trying to fix it.”
Challenged and then rejected by a man, she started to suspect that she wasn’t charming enough for him.
“Okay. Since everybody is free tonight, why don’t we hang out together?” Kasie suggested. Besides, the next day was Saturday. No school.
After arranging to meet at Esastin Villa, they left for the supermarket to buy sfood and drinks.

In the ad, Olga, delicately made up and in a cream dress, was intimately standing by a man wearing a dark blue suit. With their arms interlocked, she was smiling at the camera happily.
“Carlos and Olga, you two make a perfect couple,” the host said.
Olga didn’t say anything but smiled at the host. A clever move. In this case, silence was the best response.
Kasie shook Debbie’s arm and pointed at the screen excitedly.
“Isn’t that Carlos? And the woman next to him is… Wait. Why is that Olga with him again? Are they getting married or something?”
“She really isn’t good enough for Carlos. Carlos is not only handsbut also well-read. Olga would be lucky to be with a man Like him,”
Kristina sighed.
The ad and her friends’ comments made Debbie’s insides boil up with anger. She stared at the man in the ad angrily and cursed him in her heart.
‘There he is, a married man, fooling around with another woman. Bah!
What a pig!’
Kasie caught her resentful glare.

Even though you two seem to be fated to be enemies, at least you are lucky enough to have met a man like him. We, however, weren’t blessed with the skind of opportunities.”
Debbie kept her lips pursed. When they got everything from the supermarket, they headed for the villa.
Tonight would only be about Debbie and her best friends. Jared, Dixon,
Kristina, and Kasie had been to the villa a couple of times before
Carlos had moved back, so they were familiar with the place.
After Debbie had sent Julie hearly, the boys and girls were left alone to eat, drink, and be merry. They had a Lot of fun.
At 10 p.m. after having gulped down tens of cans of beer, they were all quite tipsy. The Living room was a mess. Empty cans and boxes, used tissues, and fruit peel covered the floor, looking like a carpet of garbage. Debbie and Kasie were singing a soppy love song. Kristina and
Dixon crouched on the sofa, whispering and Laughing amongst themselves while Jared was alone. Suddenly, he lifted his leg and gave Dixon a kick.
