True Love Waits novel Chapter 169

Debbie bid Kasie goodbye and was about to get into the car when Portia grabbed her arm—hard. "No! We're not done!" Portia yelled. Her men would arrive in a few minutes. She had no intention of letting Debbie off the hook so easily.

Before Debbie could respond, Lewis pulled Portia away and snapped impatiently, "Get the hell out of here, Portia. I thought you were an ice queen, but you're really as clingy as an octopus."

He didn't love Portia; he just took it as a challenge to melt the ice queen's heart. But now she was getting on his nerves.

Portia trembled with anger at Lewis' remarks. With red eyes, she pointed at him and shouted, "Dammit Lewis! You're cancelled! I'm telling my mom to call off our engagement."

Debbie had guessed right—Portia and Lewis were about to get engaged.

"Whatever." Lewis shrugged and got into the car. Seeing Debbie remain motionless, he urged, "Hurry! Get in the car! You don't want her bitch cooties, do you?"

Portia broke out into curses. "Lewis Huo, you're an asshole! Everyone in your family is!"

Debbie, trying hard to suppress her giggles, got into the back seat. Lewis was not angered by Portia's words. "My family? Does that include Carlos?"

Portia stopped as soon as Lewis mentioned Carlos. She cast a murderous glance at Debbie and threatened through gritted teeth, "Debbie Nian, just wait and see."

With a wide grin, Debbie clapped back. "Oh, don't forget to tell your brother—I kicked your ass and cut your hair."

"You!" Portia was too angry to utter a complete sentence.

The car soon drove off, leaving Portia behind. Her long fingernails dug into her palms, leaving deep marks.

At the ZL Group

Lewis and Debbie made a beeline for the CEO's office. Most employees didn't know Debbie, but they knew Lewis.

The elevator came to a halt on the 66th floor. Staring at the closed door of Carlos' office, Lewis nudged Debbie forward and said, "Remember our arrangement. You go in first."

Debbie was dumbstruck. 'Seriously? You're really afraid of Carlos, aren't you? I can understand why Jared is scared of Carlos. But you're his cousin! Besides, he's not that scary!' she thought to herself.

There were only two people in the secretary's office—Emmett and Zelda. Zelda stood up from her seat and greeted Lewis, "Mr. Lewis Huo, good evening."

She was quite surprised to see Debbie.

Lewis leered at her, and a wolf whistle escaped his lips. "Zelda, you're as hot as ever." This was a common thing—Lewis was a shameless flirt.

"Stop it," Zelda complained, her face reddening. She sat back in her seat.

Emmett came up to them and told Lewis respectfully, "Mr. Lewis Huo, Mr. Huo is waiting for you."

Then he approached Debbie and whispered in her ear, "Mrs. Huo, why are you here with him?" If Lewis weren't here, Emmett would have let Debbie know that Lewis was an asshole and advised her to keep him at arm's length.

Debbie said with a shrug, "He forced me to come here."

Lewis got close to the office door, and then realized that Debbie wasn't behind him. He cast a burning glance at her and said in a low voice, "What are you waiting for? Open the door!"
