Chapter 9 Three Choices


Either of the choices offered was bad. Thus, Debbie chose neither. Among all the principals in their university, Curtis Lu, the elder son of the Lu family, took charge of all things regarding management. Pissing off a principal was the last thing she wanted.

Nonetheless... Debbie clicked her tongue. Compared to the principals of other universities who were in their fifties, their principal, Curtis, was really appealing.

Being only thirty, Curtis had already been working as one of the principals of the university for two years. That went with the fact that he had gained plenty of admirers. How wouldn't you fall for someone with such charming looks and stellar competency?

If Debbie were to be in opposition towards Curtis, her list of arch-enemies would lengthen and she didn't want that.

Furthermore, he was one of Carlos' confidants and just like him, Curtis was also part of the four wealthiest families in Y City.

Messing with any person who had contact or relations with Carlos meant trouble for her.

Comfortingly, Jared and her other friends had signed up for the half marathon, too.

It lightened her heart to know that she wouldn't be alone throughout the whole race.

Then, what Gail had said to her echoed inside her mind. 'You know, there's always another way if you don't want to race. You can just shout "Carlos, I love you!" ten times, and then I'll let you off, ' Gail had told her.

Groaning, Debbie presumed that this had to be one of Gail's dirty tricks she had come up with after she had learned about Carlos' burning hatred for women. A sadistic plan, indeed.

Carefully deliberating upon the three choices Gail had given her, she ended up choosing one.
