Chapter 415
Debbie responded with a question of her own. Gail noticed that she sounded a bit curious. ‘My permission? Why?’ It sounded odd to Debbie.
Gail bit her lower lip hard and answered resentfully after a long while, “Emmett! I don’t want to get on that crappy minibus again. And you know… I came here only because of you. My dad wouldn’t have forced me to come here if you hadn’t joined this project. If you’re leaving, then you have to take me with you. And you really don’t have a choice, because I am gonna tell my parents what you are. As soon as they find out you’ve been fooling around with so many men, you’re done!”
Debbie valued Lucinda’s and Sebastian’s opinions quite a lot, and Gail knew that very well. What infuriated her was the fact that it was almost as if Debbie had managed to steal her parents away from her.
Nothing she did seemed to be good enough compared to Debbie. She hated every moment of that.
Debbie took a deep breath, trying to control a wave of anger on her face. She then told her, “Gail, I can take you with me, but you have to promise me not to mess with me again. And don’t ever repeat that Last sentence in front of me. I’ll have you know that there’s only one man
I’m involved with.”
“Who is he?”
“You’ll know that one day. But today is not that day. Can you do what I asked you to or not?” If Gail knew about Debbie’s relationship with
Carlos, the whole world would know. She wasn’t the sort who were too keen on keeping secrets. Debbie couldn’t tell her yet.
Gail was left with no choice now and promised.
When Gail finally left her alone, Debbie bid her farewell to the kids who had just played “Drop the Handkerchief” game with her and her schoolmates. It was a tearful scene with the kids when they found out she was Leaving. Her eyes watered a bit too. It was sad to say goodbye to these kids. Although she had not been here for too many days, she still felt a strange attraction to the place.
When she finally Left the school, still immersed in her sorrow, Jared suddenly popped out from nowhere and started dragging her towards the village itself.
“Where are we going?” she asked, pulled along. She felt that both Jared and Gail were acting really weird today.
“To where I was staying.”
“But why?”
“To pack my things.”
Debbie wanted to kick him right in the shins when she heard that.
“You can pack your things on your own. What do you need me for? To do it for you?” she asked in exasperation.
“Of course not.”
The village was tiny and it didn’t take them more than three minutes before they found themselves in Jared and Dixon’s room. As soon as they came to the door, Jared pulled Debbie inside and locked the door.
He opened his suitcase and threw all his items in as he kept an eye on
Debbie.
“You can’t get in the car without me. Otherwise, I am going to be stuck here,” he explained, noticing her curious glance.
He believed that Carlos wouldn’t allow him to get in his car, unless
Debbie was with him.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
