I’m going to pay him back tomorrow in Hills Park. If you’d Like, you should come with us.”
“Pay him back? In Hills Park?”
Carlos seemed utterly confused. It turned out he had no idea that Caleb wanted to see me.
“What do you mean? If you’re lying again, I’1l1-“
But before he could finish his words, Sally cut him off abruptly.
“I don’t want your phone number anymore!”
Sally stepped in between us decisively. Locking eyes with Carlos, she crumpled up the paper with his number into a ball and threw it at his face ruthlessly.
Carlos was dumbfounded.
“Why’d you do that?”
Obviously, he didn’t understand why this Lovely she-wolf was suddenly so cold to him.
Sally glared at him and said bravely, “I won’t let you insult my friend like this. Although I don’t know what happened between you two, I do know that Debra’s a good person. She’s definitely not who you think she is!”
After saying that, Sally grabbed my hand and led me away without waiting for Carlos’s response.
As she dragged me out of the restaurant, I looked at Sally in front of me with quiet admiration. I didn’t expect that she’d stick up for me like that.
After we made it out, Sally rested her palm on her chest and panted
“I’ve never spoken to a man like that before. If only I could talk Like that to Adam!”
There was a little regret in her tone.
I looked at her, feeling touched to my core
Although Sally had been bullied by Adam, she didn’t grow calloused, indifferent, or numb. She was still brave and kind, and she was willing to stand up for her friend.
“Sally, Carlos doesn’t deserve you,” I said seriously, sighing from the bottom of my heart.
Sally also nodded resolutely. “I know. I can’t believe he talked to you like that. He’s a bad egg!”
Seeing her pout like this, I thought she was so cute that I couldn’t help but burst into giggles
When my laughter died down, I recalled Carlos’s confused expression just now when I mentioned meeting Caleb in Hills Park.
Didn’t Caleb tell Carlos that we were going to meet?𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Debra’ POV:
On the following day, I went to Hills Park to meet Caleb at the appointed time. On the way there, I tried calling him, but as soon as the call connected, he hung up right away.
