NovelEnglishDebbie. You know, I can’t get a job yet…”
Debbie paid no attention to her, but kept her eyes on Carlos. Confused, he asked, “What’s wrong?”
“How much did they cost?” She insisted on an answer.
Eighty thousand, give or take,” Carlos replied honestly.
His reply sent a chill down her spine. Her eyes popped out in shock.

Perplexed, Megan replied, “Yeah. Was that too much? But Aunt Debbie, the manager told us that it was a Limited edition. There are only two sets of these in the entire world. Now you have one in your hands!
Cool, right?”
Bang! Debbie slammed the box heavily on the table and glared at the fake innocent girl.
“Cool? No, more like a fool. Of course they had only made two sets of these particular shades. If they made hundreds of thousands of these lipstick colors, the company would’ve already gone bankrupt! And you think eighty thousand dollars isn’t expensive? It’s a sky-high price for Lipstick. Much higher than market price. You think money grows on trees or something? How about you go and earn eighty thousand dollars fornow? Huh? And, you take it for granted to waste my husband’s money. Take it back to wherever you got this!” she shouted out a barrage of words in one breath.
Hearing Debbie’s rant, Megan was startled and staggered backward. Tears instantly sprang to her eyes and streamed down her face. Yes, she shed crocodile tears again.
On the other hand, Carlos still couldn’t make sense of the situation and had no idea why Debbie got pissed. As a straight man and a workaholic, he didn’t understand colors of lipstick.
“Why get mad? You don’t Like them? I think pink fits you.” He remembered she Looked quite lovely in a pink dress last the saw her wear it.
As for the blue color, he remembered Debbie had worn a blue down jacket once. She looked good in it too.
Then for the orange color, she had two orange pajamas and they both were quite flattering.
Debbie tried her hardest to hold back her anger.
“Yeah, pink is a nice color. But Carlos, not everything in pink is good and not everyone looks good with pink Lipstick. And blue, yeah, you may have seen speople put on blue Lipstick, right? But they are mostly models who need special make-up for a fashion show. You wantto be a model? Okay, the orange lipstick is a normal shade, but since I don’t like the other two, you should go and return the whole box,” she said, trying to make her voice sound calm. Yet again, Megan’s nonstop crying got on her nerves. She turned to Megan and rebuked, “Megan, dear spoiled Lady, why are you crying? Are you hurt? I can give you a reason to cry… Don’t bother buyingany gifts from now on. And would you please kindly stop wasting my husband’s money? I’d really appreciate it!”

Debbie glared at him with widening eyes.
“What? Don’t tellyou don’t care about eighty thousand dollars. But I care! Giveyour wallet now. You need my approval before spending a penny!”
Debbie said as she stretched out her hand in front of him. Sighing, he obediently took out his wallet from his pocket and handed it to her.
“Megan, you’ll get the sallowance for your living expenses every month, as you used to get from my husband. Not one penny less. But if you squander the money again, half of your allowance goes bye-bye
Megan was frightened by Debbie’s threat and quickly hid herself behind
Carlos. Nodding her head, she tried to soothe her aunt’s temper.
“Yes, yes, Aunt Debbie… Please don’t get mad.”
