Take My Breath Away

When the cashier hesitated to take her card, Debbie lost her patience and snapped, "Didn't you hear me? I said, take my card and give me the receipt!" The truth was, she felt bad that she had to direct her anger at the cashier as she knew why the woman behind the counter was unwilling to do her job; she must have known whom Gail had called.

"Miss, I'm sorry, but could you please wait a minute? That lady… she seemed to have called the vice-general manager of our mall," the cashier explained while looking back and forth between Debbie and Gail. She had no idea what was happening. All she knew was that she wanted to offend neither of the customers.

'Huh? The vice-general manager of Shining International Plaza? What's the big deal? My husband is the owner," she retorted in private.

She walked towards Gail with an irritated expression and said in a sarcastic tone, "How many times have you been to the dean's office? Did you think I was stupid? I know you were the one who snitched on me. If I could, I would tear that mask off your face, but I'm simply too busy to be bothered right now. We both know that does not mean I'm afraid of you. Fortunately for you, I had been in no mood to have open disputes with you regarding the matter, even though you kept stabbing me in the back. You won the last time. But if you think carrying on with that attitude is going to keep giving me losses, then you better get ready. I'm warning you, Gail Mu. If you dare provoke me one more time, I'll make sure you're on the losing end."

Gail turned pale upon hearing Debbie's threats. She knew that the feisty girl before her was not afraid of her at all -- if she had to be taken down, she would be. She shuddered at the thought that she was arguing with someone who was not afraid of anyone.

"What kind of nonsense are you spewing now? I didn't tell the dean anything!" Gail denied, hoping to escape Debbie's wrath. That was her strategy; she would refuse any accusations against her, knowing full well that Debbie had no concrete proof that she was the one who had told on her.

However, the nervous look on her face had already given her away. Her voice had begun to tremble whenever she would try to explain herself. Debbie, who was already expecting Gail's reaction, flashed a mocking smile and silently cursed the bitch. "For the sake of your parents, I will not be beating you up today. Instead, for the last time, I'm going to tell you that this collar pin is mine, so you better choose another one. Otherwise, you know you'll be walking out of here limp," Debbie warned her. She had her arms crossed before her chest, projecting a demeanor and gesture of someone who was fearless.

Kristina and Kasie giggled behind Debbie because they knew that their friend was just bluffing. Debbie could be a little tetchy but she had a tender heart.

Debbie would not really beat Gail up because the girl going against h

ad run into a dead end. Victor Liu found that Gail was tearing up and then turned to Debbie to beg her, "Miss…"

Before he could even finish his sentence, Debbie interrupted and exclaimed, "Pack that for me or I'll sue the shit out of you and this store!" She gave the cashier a deadly glare which caused the woman to finally reach out to take her card.

Victor Liu had gone red from the anger caused by being disrespected by the young girl. "Don't sell it to her! I'm the vice-general manager of the mall and you do as I say!"

While what he said was true, he never really got to the top of his position without his father's funding. Shining International Plaza was under the ZL Group, and had done well. Thus, his father had spent a lot of money to make him the vice-general manager of the mall.

Debbie gave the man a scornful gaze and mocked him, "Vice-general manager? So what? You think I'm buying it?" 'My husband is the CEO of the ZL Group! Have I ever shown off like that?' the ferocious girl retorted inwardly.

Victor Liu was absolutely livid about it and turned to the cashier demanding, "Pack the item for my girlfriend! She is going to take it. And do your job. Let her pay the bill."

'What the fuck? Is Gail really his girlfriend? He doesn't even pay for her expenses!' Kasie thought as she crossed her arms and rolled her eyes.

"Yes, Mr. Liu," the cashier obeyed. She then set aside Debbie's card and turned to Gail's direction.

Gail immediately took out her wallet to pay for the collar pin and the brooch, but before she could do that Debbie was already mad to the point that there was no turning back anymore.

She snatched her cousin's wallet and threw it out of the store.

Gail looked at her cousin in utter disbelief. "Bitch, what did you just do? Why did you do that?" exclaimed the enraged girl.

The wallet, which contained fortunes, attracted so much attention that a crowd began to form around it.
