“Do night running? No way! I would rather stay under the quilt, though I have to
tolerate Dixon, “ he thought.
In Alorith, by the time Carlos came back, Debbie had already been away for
about three days. She had left without giving him a phone call, not even sending
him a message.
Sulking silently, he took out his phone and called Curtis.
“Have they arrived there?”
“Yes, they arrived safely, although my brother lamented the living conditions.
Seems a little seedy over there,” said Curtis on the other end of the phone. “His
brother? Gus?
Closing his eyes tight, Carlos said in a stern tone, “It serves her right. She made
her own bed.” “She didn’t even ask for my opinion before deciding. I didn’t know it
until the name-List was submitted to the school, “ he thought to himself.
“Rest assured. I've done as per your instructions and asked the people there to
take good care of her. I've also sent Gus there to protect her. I know you feel
bad, but it’s only a few more days and she’ll be back.” Curtis understood what
was going on in Carlos’ mind.
Carlos wasn't convinced that Gus could be of any help.
“Do you think I can bank on your unreliable brother for anything meaningful?” he
asked.
If he hadn’t known that Gus had shown no interest in women in the past
22 years and had been suspected to be gay, he wouldn't have agreed
Curtis to send Gus there to help Debbie.
The sharp manner of Carlos’ question left Curtis doubtful. He paused for a
moment and then replied, “Well, anyway, he’s a man. Somehow, I believe, he can
protect the girl should the need arise. Besides,
Jared and Dixon went along with Debbie. So just rest assured.”
“Rest assured?’ There was no reason for Carlos to be distressed that she might
suffer some harm. If anything, he was pretty sure she'd be just fine. But how
would she cope with the other inconveniences of the trip?
It was not until she set out for the Southon Village that he learned about the
dismal living conditions there. It seemed like a village abandoned by the
government, with virtually no basic infrastructure.
“For three whole days of her stay there, she hasn't bothered to call me. Not even
once! I think I should just let her be. Why should I care after all?’ Carlos was
angry at the thought.
Yet much as pretended not to give a damn, for the three days of her absence,
everybody around him could sense his palpable anxiety. For fear of getting on his
wrong side, they went about work with caution.
Now, seeing Carlos’ deadpan face made Emmett shudder in fear. He knew his
boss must be in an extremely terrible mood. Before he followed
Carlos to the company offices, he took out his phone and secretly sent a
message to the WeChat Group consisting of his colleagues. He wrote,

stay away from him after greetings.

Nonetheless, even after Emmett's
kind warning, there were still a few
managers who were unluckily caught
by Carlos and given a tongue lashing.

The next day, the air in the CEO's
office still felt heavy and oppressive.
Standing next to Carlos, Emmett
wished the ground under him would
magically open up and swallow him
to save him from this demon. The

But he knew he had to finish reporting to his boss no matter how much he
wanted to escape.
