Take My Breath Away

Like the other girls in the classroom, Debbie was so deep in thought that she hadn't been paying attention while Carlos was giving a lesson. 'Wow! He is so handsome. His voice is so sexy and charming. He's got a perfect body. He looks like a prince...'

"Well, I'd like to have a student sum up what I've just said," Carlos stated.

Most of the girls couldn't contain their excitement. They raised their hands and waved at him to draw his attention.

Everyone but Debbie was hoping that they would be the lucky one.

"The first from the left in the 8th row. Please stand up and tell us what you've learned so far." His attractive voice had hardly faded when the girls whipped their heads to look at the area he was pointing at. To most, the girl whose name got called was favored by fortune.

When they saw who the lucky dog was, they started gossiping amongst themselves.

"Isn't she the girl who was guarding the door before the class started?"

"Exactly. She is Debbie Nian from Class 22."

"What? She is Tomboy? She is so pretty. No wonder she is so popular."

Meanwhile, the girl everybody was talking about was still lost in her own thoughts.

She thought of the night when she slept in the same bed as Carlos, and she blushed red like a spring rose with an awkward smile on her face. After a few seconds had passed and there was still no response from Debbie, Kasie, who was sitting next to her, nudged her back to her senses.

"Um? What's up?" asked Debbie. 'Why is everyone looking at me like that?' she wondered in confusion.

Kristina, who was sitting next to Kasie, said in a light voice, "Tomboy, Mr. Huo wants you to answer his question. You need to sum up what he has just said."

Debbie's heart leapt into her throat. 'What he has said? But I wasn't following anything...'

Embarrassed, she stood up slowly and flipped open the book in front of her on the desk. But she was unable to utter a single word.

"Since you've failed to answer my question, come here and stand on the platform," Carlos demanded in a calm voice.

'What? Stand on the platform?'

Despite the confusion in her mind, Debbie left her seat and stepped on the platform.

Carlos, with a straight face, pointed to a corner and said, "You need to stand there and listen to my lecture until the class ends."

Debbie's eyes flew open as rows of heads turned to face her.

The spot Carlos was pointing to was only three meters away from the screen. If Carlos stood on the left of the pl

os had said.

'Mr. Huo will teach them alone?!' How they wished they could have the opportunity to spend some time with him alone!

90% of the girls were envious of Debbie and Kasie because they also wanted to spend time alone with Carlos. As for the rest, they were straight-A students and wanted to be instructed by him, because he was a really good teacher.

What happened next was beyond Kasie's imagination. Excited, she held Debbie's arm and entered Carlos' office, but was dismissed by him immediately.

"Kasie Zheng, you've listened to me carefully. So there's no need for you to stay here. You may take your leave now," Carlos said with a friendly smile.

Still in a trance, Kasie nodded and said, "Okay."

She turned around and left the office obediently, as if she were hypnotized by him. Soon after, the sound of the closing door coming from behind her brought her back to her senses.

'But I didn't listen to a single thing he said in class! What's more, Debbie's still in there...'

At this moment, Tristan, Carlos' assistant, walked up to Kasie. Pushing up his glasses, he smiled, "If you don't have anything else to report, you may go back to class now."

"But Debbie is still in there," she answered anxiously.

"I believe it will be good for your friend to be taught by Mr. Huo alone." Tristan was simply implying that Carlos wouldn't be too happy if Kasie knocked on his office door now.

Kasie was not witless and she understood his point immediately. Despite her fear of Carlos, her concern for her friend prevailed. Thinking about the conflicts between Debbie and Carlos, she asked, "Will Mr. Huo do something to Debbie?"
