NovelEnglishInstead of sitting at his desk, Carlos was reading a file while relaxing on the sofa. Megan was at his desk. She was doing her homework.
“Ah, it’s Debbie. Hi Debbie! Con in!” Megan put down her pen and cto the door when she spotted Debbie standing there.
“Debbie? Huh! What happened to “Aunt Debbie”? Is it because the secretary is here and she doesn’t want her to know about my relationship with Carlos?’ Debbie didn’t like to think badly of Megan, but from what she had learned about that girl, that was most Likely the case.
Megan’s words drew Carlos’ attention away from his work. He dropped the file and scolded, “Don’t be disrespectful.”
Megan intimately held Debbie’s arm and said, “Uncle Carlos, Debbie and

I think ‘sister’ is fine. Right, Debbie?”
Megan turned to look at Debbie expectantly for a response. She sounded friendly and acted nice, but somehow, Debbie couldn’t manage a smile, as much as she tried. Yes, Megan hadn’t done anything to harm her directly. But there was this hostility in Debbie’s heart growing minute by minute when she saw that younger girl, especially when she saw her with Carlos.
Debbie finally forced a wry smile and nodded at her.
Carlos didn’t say anything else. He stood up from the sofa and said to
Debbie, “Cin.”
Debbie bit her lower lip while thinking about it. Megan’s books and papers were spread out on Carlos’ desk. There were science papers, math papers, and a pile of hardback textbooks. ALL signs that the girl was in school. The sight of it caused a strong sense of revulsion in
Debbie’s heart. She decided not to go inside. She turned to Megan and handed her the bags she had been holding all the while.
“No. I just chere to give these back. Bye,” she said to Carlos. It was quick, and decisive, just not quite the way she had envisioned it. But, then again, she hadn’t imagined she’d run into Megan here. Who knew what
Carlos did with Megan when Debbie wasn’t around?
“Eh? Debbie…” Megan called behind her. She had no idea what she did, or why Debbie was acting this way.
But Debbie didn’t stop. She couldn’t stop. She certainly wasn’t going to stay there a minute longer and continue to be humiliated. Each stride was purposeful and as long as she could comfortably make them.

“Does she think Carlos owes her something?’ She decided to wait, and watch.
Debbie paused. She turned around and asked in a sarcastic tone, “Yes,
Carlos? I’m rushing off to school. Is there a problem?”
At this point, Megan had already ripped open one box of lipsticks. The smile on her face said everything. She was ecstatic, practically glowing. It somehow made Debbie feel even worse. As if she hadn’t noticed what was going on at all, she exclaimed, “Wow! These colors are fantastic! I don’t have any of these. Uncle Carlos, did you ask Debbie to buy these for me?”
