True Love Waits novel Chapter 103

"I'll ask the store to send fewer clothes next time. Why don't you accept all these clothes for now?" Carlos said indifferently. Debbie nodded obediently. But little did she know that the clothing store would send her even more clothes the next time. And there were already many new clothes in her wardrobe that she hadn't had the chance to wear.

One day, Julie came upon Debbie who was about to throw a down coat into the washing machine. She ran hysterically towards her and grabbed the coat from her. She looked shocked beyond belief. "Debbie, this coat is worth more than a hundred thousand dollars and it requires special treatment. We should call the laundry service to take care of it."

Debbie was too shocked to utter a single word. More than a hundred thousand dollars? For a coat?

She was dumbfounded by how much money rich people spent on clothes.

'Carlos Huo spends his money left, right and center!'

she thought.

In the following days, Debbie went to the bar to make money whenever Carlos was working over time and couldn't make it back home in time.

She finally had enough money to buy the thing which she had longed for.

She went to Shining International Plaza alone one day without being noticed by Carlos and bought the thing. With a pleased smile, she decided to take a stroll around the plaza. Upon seeing a lingerie shop, she remembered something and went in.

Twenty minutes later, she walked out of the shop with a small shopping bag in her hand.

On her way back to the villa, she received a phone call. "Hi, Colleen. What's up?"

"Hi, Debbie. I'm great. Listen, Megan is going to a dinner party tomorrow evening. Do you know who her partner is? So many people already know about it!"

"Uh no..." Debbie didn't give a damn about Megan. She just wished the girl would vanish from her and Carlos' life.

Sighing in defeat, Colleen said, "I knew it. Debbie, you should pay more attention to her. She has long been telling people that Carlos would be her date."

"What?! Carlos?" Debbie cried in disbelief. Carlos was going to attend a dinner party with Megan? The very thought about Megan clinging on to her husband made Debbie feel uncomfortable. Her stomach flipped.

"Most of the upper classes already know that Megan Lan is the favorite girl of the four prominent young men of Y City, especially Carlos' and Wesley's. Many of them even imagined that she would be the future Mrs. Huo or Mrs. Li. I just heard my friends talking about Megan being Carlos' date tomorrow evening. They kept sucking up to her because they think that it's their chance to get closer to Carlos. It made me sick! Debbie, this is not some ordinary party. It might look like it's just another dinner, but it's the women's battlefield," said Colleen seriously.

"Battlefield? What do you mean?" Debbie was completely confused.

"A battlefield for women to show off their dates! People who attend this party are rich and powerful. If Carlos and Megan go to the party together, then the whole city will believe that she is Mrs. Huo. The reason why I'm telling you this is that I don't want to see Megan play her dirty tricks again. Debbie, you must attend the party with Carlos. Are you willing to give up your husband to that woman?" asked Colleen.

Was Debbie willing to let Megan have what she wanted? 'Of course not!' Debbie's mind yelled. Not a single woman in the world would willingly give away their husband to another woman.

"Debbie, you must keep an eye on them. Curtis told me that you had a fight with Carlos because of Megan. She is such a bitch! She used to do the same thing to me and Curtis. I really hate her. Curtis and I had a lot of unwanted fights because of her. Debbie, you must not let her destroy your relationship with Carlos, okay?" Anger was obvious in Colleen's voice.

Debbie didn't respond as she was still in a trance, trying to process all this information.

"Debbie, if you really like Carlos, just go for it. I believe you can win his heart."

Still no response.

"If Carlos asks you how you found out about the party, just tell him that I told you. He won't be mad at me for it. After all, we've been friends for many years."

Debbie finally found her voice, though she was still very confused. "Colleen, please hold on. You've dumped so much information on me that I can hardly follow you. I need time to think about all this."

"All right. Take your time. If you ever need me, please feel free to call."
