Carlos had changed from a cruel and imperious CEO to a loving husband who spoiled his wife to the hilt.
Kasie wasn’t convinced though.
“Aren’t you exaggerating?”
Emmett squinted at her.
“No, I’m not. I’m telling the truth. You’re too young to understand these kinds of things.” He still remembered how passionately Carlos stared at Debbie on their way back from Southon
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtVillage. ‘Carlos was Like a beast stalking its prey the whole way. If I hadn’t been there driving the car and Debbie hadn’t been too shy, he probably would’ve had sex with her straightaway in the car. I think he must have had a hard tcontrolling himself back then, ‘ Emmett thought.
Kasie let out a cold hum.
“What did you say? I’m too young? Huh! I’UL be an undergraduate very soon. Don’t takefor a kid, okay?”
“Yes, yes. You’re not a kid, but I’m a few years older than you. In my eyes, you’re just a kid. By the way, could you please dye your hair black again? You don’t Look good with the yellow hair.”
“Yellow hair? But this is brown!’ Kasie sulked.
“I think we have nothing in common. Goodbye!” she said and turned around to leave. In fact, she had intended to dye her hair black before the new semester, because students were not allowed to dye their hair.
Right then, a middle-aged woman in pajamas cdownstairs. Seeing
Kasie, she asked curiously, “Kasie, who’s this guy?”
Emmett assumed that this woman might be one of Kasie’s neighbors. In a good mood, he decided to make fun of Kasie. i! Nice to meet you, he said playfully.
“I’m Kasie’s boyfriend.”
Kasie was taken aback by Emmett’s mischievous joke. She hastily explained to the middle-aged woman, “He’s just kidding. He’s only a friend.”
Emmett smiled and waved at her.

“Hey, wait! Young man, don’t Leave!” the woman suddenly called out to stop Emmett.
Confused, Emmett turned around. The woman stepped forward, observing him from head to toe, and asked, “So how long have you two been dating?
How old are you? Cinside, please. Have a drink. You can meet her father too.”
‘What? Meet her father? So this woman is Kasie’s mother? Oh, Jesus!’
Regret filled Emmett’s heart. He shouldn’t have made a joke Like that!
He had told this woman he was Kasie’s boyfriend. ‘Well, that’s another fine mess you’ve gotten yourself into, Emmett.*
He straightened up, returning to his usual calm and serious self, just like at work. He said to the woman politely, “Oh, so you’re Kasie’s mother. Nice to meet you. I’m sorry for my joke. I’m actually one of her friends, but not a boyfriend. Sorry for the misunderstanding.”
