Chapter 299
“I’m going to call Mr. Handsome now. If he agrees to go hiking with me on Saturday, you will buy me lunch for a month. If he doesn’t, I’1L buy you Lunch for a month. Interested?”
Kasie clapped her hands excitedly.
“You got yourself a deal,” she exclaimed. But on second thought, she said, “Wait. You and Carlos are hot for each other right now. You two are now officially on your honeymoon, I guess. Why would I have that kind of bet with you? I’m not stupid. No, uh-uh.”
Debbie wouldn’t let her bail. She dialed Carlos’ number, cockily shook her phone in front of Kasie and said, “You said yes. Besides, I’ve already dialed Carlos’ number. It’s a little too late to buckle.” Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
“Devil!” Kasie cursed.
Debbie put her phone to her ear. Soon the phone was connected.
“Honey,” came the greeting from the other end.
The sudden sappy form of address almost made Debbie choke on her own saliva.
“Ugh…well, Mr. Handsome, are you busy?”
“Not really. Why? Miss me?” asked Carlos.
Kasie pushed herself towards the phone to Listen to the conversation.
“Um, are you busy this Saturday? I’m thinking of going hiking together, you and me.”
“Saturday? We can’t. Your mother-in-lLaw’s coming this Saturday.”
“Huh? ? Mother-in-Law ?°
Debbie totally freaked out. For a long moment, she couldn’t think straight.
“My mother-in-law…No. Why is your mom coming all of a sudden?” she asked nervously.
“She wants to meet you. Isn’t that normal?”
Realizing she had overreacted, Debbie cleared her throat and replied,
“Well, I guess it is.”
“Her plane will land on Saturday noon. Let’s pick her up together then.”
“0-Okay,” Debbie responded numbly. ALL she could think of were the words “mother-in-law” and “coming.”
‘What does she Look Like? Will she like me? What if she doesn’t…‘ Her mind traveled miles away.
“What do you want to have for lunch? How about you come to my office so that we can have Lunch together?” Carlos continued.
“What? Lunch? Oh, Lunch…” The word “Lunch” brought Debbie back to senses. She Looked at Kasie, who was talking to her friend on WeChat, and complained, “It’s all your fault. Now I have to buy Kasie lunch for a month. I can’t have lunch with you anymore.”
Hearing that, Kasie knew she won. Cockily, she held up two fingers and made a victory gesture.
