Wesley reached out his hand to grab hers but the angry woman danced away. He couldn’t believe it. ‘What the hell? Her moods change quick.’
Despite that thought, he quickly followed after her. When he walked past Debbie, he cast a warning glance at her.
With a smug smile, Debbie raised her eyebrows and looked towards
Blair’s receding figure, beckoning him to follow. She had quite a head start.
‘And that’s two down, ‘ Debbie thought, discreetly giving herself a thumbs-up. Now, it was tto deal with the big boss. Without saying a word or doing anything, the big boss was powerful enough to send shivers down her spine with just a look.

Guess who I bumped into today? Debbie! So what’s up?”
“Bumped into? Are you kidding me?’
Carlos sneered, “Megan got food poisoning.”
“Oh, I see. Sorry to hear that. How’d that happen? Is it bad?”
Yates asked Megan, feigning concern.
Megan shook her head.
“No. Not fun, but not bad enough for the doctor.”
Yates seemed relieved.
“Good to hear it. It’s just a little food poisoning. No sweat. I remember Debbie was hospitalized for stomach bleeding. She was there a whole week. But she didn’t tell anyone.”
Yates deliberately brought up this to compare the two women. After he did, you could see the difference.
Both Megan and Debbie were at a loss for words.

The ward was quiet again. To stifle the awkward silence, Yates decided to open his mouth again.
“Debbie, let’s go. I don’t get why you had to chere in the first place. Let’s go see Piggy now.” Yates took
Debbie’s wrist and led her towards the door
“Stop!” Carlos’ cold voice rang behind them.
There was power in that voice that froze their blood in their veins.
His barked command was so Laden with menace they stopped in their tracks and turned to look at the man.
“Debbie, explain yourself now.” Carlos wasn’t going to make things hard for her. But she had better have a good reason for everything.
