Take My Breath Away

In deep admiration, Sasha looked at Debbie and praised, "You are the real Cinderella! How I wish I could marry a man as rich as your husband. But I think that's overambitious, because in the real sense, I'd be contented to find a man with half Carlos' fortune."

After all, successful businessmen were few and far between, not to mention someone as young and handsome as Carlos.

"Rest assured. You will. You are such an adorable girl. Who knows, you might find someone just as good," Debbie assured, gently stroking Sasha's cheek.

To which Sasha nodded cheerfully, "You flatter me, Debbie. Anyway, let's hope and pray that your wishes for me will come true. Ideally, I'd wish to make it big as a movie star. Then, even without a rich suitor like Carlos, I'll still end up just fine on my own."

"Yeah, I believe you can hack it as a movie star!" While making small talk, Debbie took Sasha to her walk-in closet. "I need a favor from you," she said as she opened the door.

"Name it," declared Sasha with enthusiasm. But at the sight of Debbie's clothes and jewelry, the girl's eyes lit up.

"I need to attend a party this evening. Apparently, Carlos is too busy to come with me. Would you mind lending me your lovely company?" With a thoughtful look in her eyes, Debbie opened the closet full of evening dresses, and selected a pink one for Sasha.

Blown away by the luxurious collection, Sasha picked a sexy party dress. "Trust me, Deb. You'll rock in this one. Why not try it on now?"

"For another occasion, I would have loved this burgundy dress. But since tonight's party is kind of formal, I think I need an appropriate one." Debbie turned Sasha down politely.

"Okay. Then, try this white one on."

"This one looks good. Let's get changed together," Debbie offered.

"Yeah!"

The two girls spent a long time selecting dresses and jewelry. When Emmett called, Debbie was tired and sleepy, but Sasha was still adorning herself with jewelry excitedly.

"Hi, Emmett," Debbie greeted. While answering the phone, she took a few steps from Sasha and sat at the dressing table, playing with her lipsticks. There were so many shades that she was spoiled for choice.

"Mrs. Huo, I'll drive you and Miss Mu to the party," said E

one, so naturally people had many questions coming their way, such as which company they were from, and what their positions were.

Debbie and Sasha had foreseen this before they came here, so they evasively fielded the questions with a smile. Where they couldn't comment, they simply said, "The party will start soon, and the host will announce it. Please be more patient."

Now that they were unable to get any information from the two girls, they soon left one after another.

Then, a man in a white suit approached Debbie with a glass of wine in his hand. He just smiled at her without saying a word.

Sasha whispered in her ear, "Deb, he's your ex, isn't he? When did he come back from abroad?"

Politely, Debbie nodded at Hayden and then looked away.

In a low vice, she said to Sasha, "It's been a while."

Hayden had fixed his gaze on Debbie since he entered the hall. He had seen her chatting with the businessmen and joking with Sasha.

She was absolutely stunning.

Soon, the party started with the host going through introductions after a short opening speech. "First of all, let's welcome Mr. Hayden Gu, an excellent entrepreneur, the CEO of the Gu Group, one of Y City's Ten Outstanding Youths, and the founder of Wayhey Electronics."

Hayden had made a great achievement in the past few years. People nodded in approval at him when his accolades and titles were mentioned.

Before taking to the podium, he gave Debbie a smile and went on to deliver his short speech.
