Take My Breath Away

Chapter 32 Tomboy What The Hell



"Are you seriously asking me why I threw your wallet out? You obviously wanted to snatch the collar pin that I wanted to buy! I've already had enough of your dirty little tricks. If you ever dare mess with me again, I swear you will get more than this! I'll definitely beat you up!" Debbie said, shouting so loudly that her voice grabbed the attention of many mall-goers. After saying this, she shook her fist that made Gail's face turn pale. Intimidated by her, she dodged Debbie's eyes and ran out to pick up her wallet.

When Victor saw his girlfriend getting bullied, he pointed to Debbie and threatened in a harsh voice, "If you dare bully my baby again, I will ask the guards to throw you out of the mall." Gail looked like a little girl helplessly picking up her wallet in front of the crowd.

Despite hearing his threat, Debbie only rolled her eyes and said in a nonchalant tone, "Help yourself. Go ahead and do whatever you like." She had never been a push-over. She wasn't afraid of anyone in this world.

This attitude of hers made her able to walk through life as brave as she could despite everything she'd been through. But, wait! Out of all the people, there was one man she wouldn't dare to offend -- Carlos. In the midst of her fierce stance, his face suddenly popped up in her mind. 'You want to threaten me? Okay! Just bring Carlos here, and then I'll do as you say, ' she thought to herself.

After some time, the crowd started to build up. Some mall-goers were already talking about the commotion that was happening, pointing to the store where Debbie was. Upon seeing Gail's wallet flying out of the store, many were surprised. How could the security of a prestigious mall allow such a commotion to happen? And that very moment the wallet flew out, coincidentally, Carlos was there.

Judging from the flying track of the wallet, he could easily tell that it was thrown out on purpose. He then saw a girl with red eyes, trying to stop her tears, running towards the wallet and picked it up.

Surprised, the general manager of the mall, who was standing right beside Carlos, could only wipe his cold sweat off his forehead, realizing that something wrong was happening in the store. 'Why did this thing happen in such a crucial time?' he thought to himself. "Mr. Huo, let's go check what happened," he said with utmost respect, trying to hide his embarrassment and fear of what would come out from this incident.

A few minutes before Debbie started the commotion, Carlos had arrived at the mall to inspect it with no prior notification. That day, the mall's senior executives had come as quickly as they could to meet him. Not a single soul in the management had known of Carlos' arrival ahead of time, and for such a thing to happen, nobody knew how he would react.

With such a messy sight, Carlos' face grew darker and darker. This left the general manager in a cold sweat.

Judging by the face of his boss, the general manager guessed Carlos didn't hear his suggestion. All that time, his eyes were fixated on the store.

Gail stood up after picking up her wallet; the next moment, a man was seen being pushed out of the store by a girl.

With this, more and more passersby gathered and stopped by to look in the hallway, gossiping in low voices.

After taking a glance at the man's face and recognizing who he was, the general manager held his breath, his heart skipping a beat. 'Damn it! What has th

ed like they had forgotten that Debbie was in trouble with Carlos, and they were now drooling over his handsome face.

"Uh..." Debbie was about to greet her husband, but she lost her words when she caught sight of his cold eyes. The once strong and fearless woman, who had just beaten up a man, now seemed to act like a little girl who was about to get scolded. She clenched her clothes and lowered her head, like an obedient wife.

'Oh no! Is he going to throw me out of the mall again?' she thought. 'This time, I'm screwed. Just why is he here?'

After staring at Debbie who was now acting so obedient, Carlos turned to look at a saleslady and coldly asked, "What happened?" Dominated by his prominent, alluring figure, the saleslady didn't dare to utter a single word.

Curious of the man who just appeared, Gail, who was standing not far away, widened her eyes upon seeing Carlos. 'The man is so handsome, ' she realized. 'I remember him. He didn't even punish me for what I've done on his launch event. He must have a thing for me, ' she thought, giggling a little.

Amused by her own idea, she plucked up some courage and went up to him, feigning a soft and innocent voice. "Mr. Huo, I'm Gail Mu. I took a fancy to a collar pin in this store. Then, I went to the ladies' room for a bit and when I came back, my classmate already took it away. I told her that it was already reserved for me, but she didn't listen. Mr. Liu, the vice-general manager, also persuaded her but it went in vain. Not only did she not listen to a word we said, she even beat Mr. Liu."

'What? She didn't even mention that Victor is her boyfriend. Is she trying to pick Carlos up? What a slut!' Debbie thought after hearing her words.

Not giving a care to Gail's words, Carlos didn't even cast a single glance at her He just looked at Debbie and then stepped into the store asking, "Where's the collar pin?"

Immediately, a salesgirl held embroidered box in her cupped hands and passed it to him.

Reaching his arm out, he took the box over, opened it and looked at the collar pin and the brooch. 'Why would Debbie want to buy a collar pin and a brooch? Could it be that she only wanted to stir up trouble for the girl?' he thought, wondering why Debbie would go to such extremes for such things.
