She didn’t slow down until the traffic lights turned red. But it was too late to brake. The car screeched along the roadway before a loud bang assailed her ears as she jerked to a stop.
‘Ow! That hurts!* Her forehead bumped into the steering wheel. When she lifted her head, there was a red mark there.
She slowly raised her head and found her car had crashed into another car in front of her. And it was an expensive one.
“Could this day get any fucking better?’ she thought bitterly.
As she tried to get her bearings, the driver in front of her got out of their car. Debbie had to get out of hers too. At the last second, she remembered to bring her purse too.

“I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. Let’s settle this without bugging the cops. I’ll pay for the repairs.”
Frankie looked at the dent from the collision, then at the car which had crashed into the Emperor—a $300, @0@ Cadillac— and at last at the owner of the car.
He tapped on the backseat window and said quietly, “Carlos, the driver of the other car is at fault. She’s offering to pay.”
“Ask Osmin Fisher to chere and driveback to the office. Stay here and deal with this collision,” Carlos ordered coldly.
“But the other driver is Debbie,” Frankie replied. Considering their history, he figured he’d better let his boss know.
“Debbie?!
Carlos was surprised. ‘Why does she keep popping into my life Like this?”
While Frankie was letting Carlos know what was going on, Debbie raised her head to look. It was not until then that she realized she had hit
Carlos’ Scaldarsi Emperor.
She slapped her forehead remorsefully. ‘Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! why couldn’t I have been more careful? Carlos hatesso much right now.
He’ll think I did it for attention.

The front bumper of her car was destroyed while the Emperor only suffered a dent. ‘I guess you get what you pay for.
The Emperor is worth nearly ten million. The repairs will probably costa mil easy.
Damn! If this had happened a few days ago, I might have gotten off scot free. He hatesnow, so who knows how much I‘11 have to pay?’
When Frankie was conferring with Carlos, Debbie waited nervously and imagined all kinds of possibilities.
A few minutes Later, Frankie was back.
“Debbie, let’s pull over first,” he suggested.
“Okay,” she agreed. It was only logical. They were causing traffic to back up behind them, so the best thing would be to get off the road.
