Portia wrote, “I have a VIP card with 50, 000 dollars, for the largest hair salon at the Shining International Plaza. Go ahead and use my card.”
Debbie could sense the sarcasm in Portia’s comment.
Portia had becmore and more aggressive against her. She seemed to smell blood, and like any shark, was attracted to it. Debbie didn’t know why. ‘I’ve been done with Hayden for a Long time. Why is she still pissed?’ Debbie wondered
“Thank you for your kindness, Portia. But I have…” Debbie was typing a reply. She paused and wondered what was the highest amount of the VIP card in that hair salon. She giggled mischievously. Anyway, Portia didn’t know any better. Debbie decided to brag about it. She continued to write, “I have a VIP card with 200, 000 dollars in it. If your 50,
000-dollar VIP card isn’t enough, you can calland we can use mine together.”

Emmett had already upgraded the card of the hair salon by the time
Portia’s men called the receptionist there. The worker had already put the money into Debbie’s VIP card five minutes before the call. After getting the answer, Portia’s man reported to her, “Portia, Debbie’s VIP card indeed has 200, 000 dollars, and together with the 50, @00-dollar bonus, she has 250, @0@ in total.”
Portia was dumbfounded, her mouth agape.
Clutching her phone tightly, she hung up quickly. She wondered, ‘Why does Emmett have so much money to spend on Debbie? He’s just an assistant. Maybe he takes bribes?”
Now, the thought of hitting on Carlos burned stronger inside Portia’s heart.
She began to fantasize the day when she would be the new Mrs. Hilton.
The first thing she would do was ask Carlos to investigate Emmett. If he was found out to have accepted any bribes, he’d be locked up. That way, Debbie would lose everything. She grinned broadly as she pictured the scene.
There was still no reply from Portia. Debbie didn’t care, either. She closed the WeChatand shifted her attention to the various lipsticks inside the lit glass counter. There were tons of shades, and accents on top of that. With exotic names like After Midnight, Love
Bites, Everglow, and A Little Magic, there was a lipstick for practically every mood, if your mood was to attract a guy, of course.
And with selections in matte, satin, or metallic finish, it was difficult for Debbie to make a choice.
“No, Debbie. You have more than enough Lipsticks at home. Leave now and stop spending money!

Debbie had eaten dinner outside before coming back to the manor. Carlos hadn’t chfrom work yet, so she went to the yoga room. After doing a few poses, like Tree Pose and Downward Dog, she decided to head to the music room afterwards.
Carlos didn’t cback until eleven o’clock at night. He found Debbie in the music stuand she was concentrating on writing a song.
He caught a glimpse of her scribbles on the paper. There were crosses or dots under most of the words. It seemed that she wasn’t satisfied with the lyrics she had cup with
Carlos stood behind her and patiently waited for a few moments. Yet, she didn’t notice his presence. He stayed silent, even held his breath, trying to make himself as unobtrusive as possible.
“You.
“Aargh!” Her high-pitched shriek interrupted his unspoken words.
Debbie jerked around to stare at the man who had sprung up from nowhere, her face white as a sheet. His sudden voice startled her so much that she felt like she was having a heart attack. As it was, she was still trembling.
