Take My Breath Away

"Personal assistant? That's Emmett's job. Dixon, you should be careful. Carlos is hot-tempered and hard to deal with," warned Debbie. She didn't mind speaking ill of her husband at all.

Dixon gave her a friendly smile and said, "I will do my best. I believe Mr. Huo won't lose his temper for no reason. Don't worry about me, Tomboy."

Kasie patted Debbie's shoulder and joked, "How dare you speak ill of your husband! If he finds out, he'll teach you a good lesson."

Debbie cast a sideways glance at her and laughed out loud. "He wouldn't dare. I can knock him down with just one punch." She was a little tipsy, and hence the bragging.

The rest of them chuckled. Kristina exposed her boast. "Stop bragging, Tomboy. We still remember you complaining about Mr. Huo's mastery of martial arts."

Before Debbie and Carlos got together, she had always complained to her friends saying that she would've thrown him into the ocean a hundred times over if she were stronger than him.

With an embarrassed smile, Debbie said, "Kristina, you really don't love me anymore. All you care for is Dixon. You've betrayed me!" With a pout, she lay in Kasie's arms, staring at Kristina with reproachful eyes.

Kristina picked up a piece of beef omasum and put it onto Debbie's plate. "Honey, stop talking nonsense. I love you. Eat this. It's so crunchy!"

The instant-boiled beef omasum was Kristina's favorite food. Debbie loved it as well. She flashed a broad smile and ate it in a gulp.

She felt much happier after laughing and talking with her friends.

However, the topic was somehow brought back to her studying abroad again.

Jared grabbed Debbie's hand and told her in a serious tone, "Tomboy, we've been friends for so many years. I really, really can't accept that you're going away. How about this? I'll tell my dad that I want to study in England as well. We can be together again."

Debbie's heart sank at his words; she wasn't willing to leave her friends behind either. Stifling her sobs, she picked up a piece of beef for him and said, "Just eat your food and stop joking. If you go to England with me, Carlos will beat you to a pulp."

Jared's face darkened. "Then what will I do? Ar

ou can't be more excited to go abroad, can you?" His voice was dripping with so much sarcasm that Debbie couldn't bear it any longer.

Debbie and Jared were about to exchange real blows. Their friends immediately pulled them away from each other. Luckily, the private booth was soundproofed. The other guests had no idea what was happening inside the booth.

Debbie shook Kasie's hands away, and grabbed Jared by his collar. "You want me to leave as soon as possible, right? You were only lying when you said you didn't want me to leave."

Jared didn't deny what she had said. Instead, he yelled, "Oh, yes! Leave soon. You better go to your dear husband. I don't want to see your face right now. Let go of me! You want to fight? I'm no match for you, but I won't let you off so easily either."

Unable to hold back her anger anymore, Debbie raised her fist and threw it at Jared's shoulder.

Jared was about to fight back, but Dixon dragged him backwards so that he wouldn't make contact with Debbie.

Sasha thought that they were fighting over her, and burst into tears. "Deb, I'm sorry. This is all my fault. I shouldn't have come with you." 'They are best friends, yet they are fighting because of me...'

"Sasha, don't cry. This has nothing to do with you. He is an ass. I need to teach him a lesson today!" Debbie said. She shook Kasie and Sasha off again and pounced on Jared.

"Dixon, let go of me!" Jared yelled. Dixon released Jared immediately.
