NovelEnglishChapter: 181
The busy streets of Alorith were filled with people going to and fro, minding their own private businesses. Debbie waited patiently for her flight bound for Jork It was a long and tiring flight. Getting off the plane, she hailed a taxi and found the hotel she had booked online. The moment she tucked her bag inside the closet, she changed into a white casual outfit, put on sneakers, took her purse, and went outside to have sfun.
She treated herself to a share of stuffed tofu with spicy sauce and strolled along holding her food in her hands. When she spotted an interesting widget in a shop by the street, she stopped to appreciate it. As she was taking a bite of the tofu, her phone rang.
She glanced at the caller ID, swallowed the tofu in her mouth, and hung up. It was Carlos. She wouldn't take his call.
However, he seemed quite persistent. Her phone rang again and again and again. Every tshe hung up, he would call again. When her phone rang for the
12th time, she picked it up impatiently and said, “Old man, enough already. Is your company going out of business or something?
Don’t you have work to do? Why do you keep calling me? It's annoying!”
“Deb, it's me.” The strange yet familiar voice sent her freezing on the spot.

“Oh, what's up?” Her tone softened. She threw the tofu box into the bin, wiped her mouth dry, and listened to him attentively.
“Who is the “old man’ you referred to?” Hayden asked as he was surprised by Debbie's response when she answered his call.
“Never mind, I was referring to no one in particular,” Debbie replied casually.
“What made you call?”
“I've been in Alorith for a couple of days now. I have no plans tonight, so I'm thinking maybe we can have dinner together.”
“Oh, sorry. I'm out of town. I'm on a trip.”
Hayden hadn't expected her response. For a moment, he was in a daze but soon realized that Debbie was such a travel gal. He remembered how much she enjoyed going to places. She had visited different tourist destinations, more than he ever had. He envied her determination and her free spirit.
“Oh! I see. It's okay. Anyways, my schedule will be cleared out early next month.
How about I take you to England for a vacation then?”
“No, thanks.” Debbie turned him down immediately.
“I've been busy lately. I have all these different classes every day. I had to make tfor this trip.”
Debbie was telling the truth. When her trip was over, she would once again be occupied with dance, yoga, English, and other classes.
“Debbie, don't Lie to me. I know you. You always hate studying. You're just trying to blowoff by making up those classes.”

For a moment, there was only silence at the other end of the line.

Hayden knew how much she used to hate those classes she just mentioned.
Debbie smiled and said, “Because I don’t have to protect you anymore.”
