    Ever since she was young, Debbie was afraid of thunder and Lightning.


    She hade to Portia’s bedroom in the middle of the night before when she and Hayden were still


    dating.

    It was on Hayden’s birthday. It was toote when the party was over, so Debbie stayed in Hayden’s


    house. When she was sleeping alone in the guest room that night, suddenly thunder roared and


    Lightning shed


    She was too scared to sleep. But she couldn’t go to Hayden’s room. That would be inappropriate. So


    she knocked on the door of Portia Gu’s room and told her that she was afraid to sleep alone.


    To her dismay, however, Portia pushed her out of her room impatiently and locked the door.


    “Don’t interrupt my sleep again!” she had warned her. She remembered how scared she was that night.


    She had to bear with the thunder and lightning and sleep alone while covered with threeyers of


    nkets.


    Recalling all this, all of sudden, Debbie missed Carlos, that overbearing, arrogant, hateful man.


    Debbie stared at her phone screen. There was one missed call from


    Carlos. She made up her mind that if he called again, she would pick up the phone.


    Two days had passed. Carlos still didn’t call.


    On the third day, Debbie had a big dinner that evening. She had eaten so much that after dinner she


    rubbed her stuffed belly and decided to stroll down the streets to hasten the digestion of the food. Then


    she came across an emerald store. She walked in and Looked around. In the dim light, a lucky peace


    buckle caught her eyes.


    “I’d like to have a look at that one,” she said to the bald, fat storekeeper.


    “Sure. Miss, all the pieces in our store are genuine. This Lucky peace buckle is exquisitely polished,”


    the keeper grinned.


    “How much is it?”


    “$28, @@@. A good price.”


    Debbie’s eyes widened. That was way too pricey for a lucky peace buckle. She knew a little about


    emerald. To appraise its quality, she looked at the buckle against the Light and found that it was not


    transparent at all. It definitely wasn’t worth $28, 000.


    So Debbie put the lucky peace buckle back and said, “I’ll look at some more.”


    Seeing her turn around, the storekeeper put on a hideous look on his face and snapped, “How can you


    not buy it after you looked at it?”


    Debbie was confused.


    “What do you mean? Do I have to buy it after I looked at it? Why? I don’t like it. Of course, I won’t buy


    it.” She thought the storekeeper was being ridiculous


    The storekeeper hit the table hard with his fat hand and announced,


    “Why did you look at it if you didn’t intend to buy it? You must buy iti”


    “How can you force your customers to buy things they don’t want?”


    Debbie stopped to observe the circumstances of the store. Four sinister-Looking men were ying


    mahjong seated around a square table near the entrance of the store. Hearing the conversation


    between the storekeeper and Debbie, they turned around and gave Debbie an ominous


    Look.
