Chapter: 49
Private Club, a girl was seen singing a beautiful, sad song.
“Just one last dance, before we say goodbye…” her song continued playing.
When Emmett recognized the singer, he widened his eyes to plates, his jaw slack. ‘Since when did Mrs.Hilton start to make a living as a street singer?’ he thought.
When Marvin noticed that Carlos seemed to be interested in the female singer, he thought he had a chance to fawn on him. He took out a thick wad of notes from his briefcase and threw it into the iron box in front of Debbie.
After seeing the amount of money he just threw, Debbie stopped singing, shocked by the impressive amount of thousands of dollars.
Everyone looked at Marvin, who put on a proud smile and demanded in an arrogant tone, “Sing a song for our Carlos. If you can make him smile,
I’LL give you more money.”
Hearing his words made her fuming mad. The fat man’s words came as an insult for her.
Casting a quick burning glare at her so-called husband, she immediately straightened herself and flashed a sweet smile.
“Sure, I’ll be glad to offer Carlos a song. I hope you enjoy it.”
On the other hand, in the gathered crowd, some recognized Carlos and couldn’t help but go berserk over his handsome face.
Noticing Debbie’s beaming eyes, Carlos suddenly felt bad over Marvin’s groundless request. He then uttered, “No need to..” Even before he could turn her down, she started strumming her guitar and singing a song.
Skipping the first part of the song, she immediately went to the climax and hit the notes. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Her song went, “I pray your brakes go out running down a hill. I pray a flowerpot falls from a window sill and knocks you in the head like I’d like to. I pray your birthday comes and nobody calls. I pray you are flying high when your engine stalls. I pray all your dreams never come true…”
Hearing the end of her song, the crowd became silent and stole glances at the handsome man, waiting to see his response.
Surprised, Marvin hadn’t expected Debbie to sing such a song. He was so scared, thinking he had done a stupid thing. ‘Damn bitch! What is she singing? Oh man! I’m screwed!’ he thought, wiping the cold sweat off his forehead.
Without giving a care nor caring to stop, Debbie continued singing her song for Carlos. She didn’t mind irritating the man in front of her. At the same time, Carlos lowered his head and rubbed his arching brow. Her song came as a surprise. Without raising his head, he pointed to Debbie and demanded, “Since she can swim, you, Emmett, dig a whole and bury her alive!”
Carlos felt his heart beating so fast. Not because he was flattered, but because his anger was slowly filling the brim of his patience. His gut feeling was telling him that if he didn’t kill this girl now, he would someday die of anger because of her.
Carlos’ words made the crowd surprised.
“What? Bury her alive?” were the words heard from the crowd. Everyone was startled from his sudden reply.
If it were somebody else who had said those words, everybody would think that it was a joke. However, it was Carlos speaking and he was known as a man of his word. Noticing a group of strong, terrifying bodyguards heading towards Carlos, the crowd immediately dispersed in an uproar.
Emmett panicked, not knowing what to do. ‘I guess I should tell him the truth now before things get worse. Otherwise, he will definitely regret his decision today, ” he thought to himself and made a decision.
Leaning towards his ears, Emmett whispered to his boss, “Carlos, this girl, whom you just asked us to bury, is Debbie Nelson!”
His words confused Carlos. He looked at Emmett as if looking at an idiot. ‘What is wrong with him? He’s been acting really weird recently,
* Carlos thought. ‘Do I not know her name? Do I need him to remind me of that?’
