“Was he calling to check on you?”
Debbie was amused by her words. She then pretended to be serious and said, “Yeah. He heard I was with Jared and Dixon, and he said he’d send them to the South Pole to breed penguins.”
Jared was boiling with rage at her words.
“Tomboy, you have to talk him down. You’re the one who invited me, remember? Call him now! I’ve been to the South Pole before, and it’s freezing there. Never again!”
Sasha, however, burst out laughing.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Yeah! The South Pole! Sounds interesting! Don’t worry, Jared. I’ll go with you.” Seriousness was written all over her face.
However, Jared was too freaked out to think clearly. Ignoring Sasha, he went on pleading, “Con, Tomboy. Give him a ring before he asks his secretary to book a flight.”
Kasie picked up a piece of mutton and put it into her mouth. After swallowing it, she teased, “A flight? You wish! It’s not a vacation.
You might have to take a bus there.”
Ever since the trip to Southon Village, Jared hated buses so much that he swore to himself he would never take a bus again.
“Bus! God no!” Jared’s face went pale.
Dixon chipped in calmly, “You should feel Lucky you don’t have to take a walking tractor there.”
“Shut up, Dixon. You’re going with me. Didn’t you hear Tomboy?” Jared didn’t understand why Dixon was so calm and nonchalant about it.
With a smug smile, Dixon explained, “Sorry, dude, I should’ve told you earlier. You’re going there alone. Carlos is paying for my college abroad.”
“What?” Everyone except Kristina was taken aback by the sudden news.
Even Debbie was clueless.
“What? Where? England, maybe? What are you studying?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“So do you have a job lined up with Hilton Group at the end?” Kasie asked.
Kristina sighed and explained for her boyfriend, “Do you think the uber-possessive Carlos would let Debbie study abroad with another man?
She’s going to England, while Dixon is going to America.”
Dixon nodded and told them everything. Carlos saw a lot of potential in him, so he decided to send him to scollege in America. As his sponsor, he had a lot of influence.
Carlos was a smart businessman, and he wouldn’t gamble on a losing proposition.
So he offered Dixon a long-term contract. After Dixon graduated, he would go to work for Hilton Group. They’d haggle over exactly where later on. His contract was for fifteen years, but at least he wouldn’t be job-hunting after college.
Kasie looked at Debbie, her mouth agape.
“Fifteen years? That’s a Long time, Tomboy. Your husband had him sign a slave contract.”
