Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell ( Carlisle Zahn ) Novel

Chapter 615

At Caltopia College, Carlisle took out his knockoff phone and called Sharon.

"Howard?" Sharon's cheerful voice came over the phone.

She was at the dormitory with her roommates, and they had been going through the butterfly hair clips she had just received.

There were three boxes in total, and each box contained a hundred.

Water Melodies Corporation hadn't even charged them a commission. They had just told her to deal with the goods first. She could pay for the last shipment when she ordered a new one.

"Sharon, come out! I've got to pay you money!" Carlisle smiled.

Sharon's family was in a difficult situation. Since she thought of him as her older brother, he had to be generous. Since she had lent him a hundred dollars, he would return ten thousand to her.

"It's alright, Carl! I don't need money right now. I'm about to make big bucks! Water Melodies Corporation just gave me three boxes of hair clips. They even told me to pay for this shipment when I get the next one. Can't talk right now. I'm busy. Once I've earned money, I'll buy you dinner!" Sharon said.

She hung up at once.

She had only cared about the one hundred dollars she had lent Carlisle because money had been tight. She was worried she wouldn't have enough money to get her stock from her senior.

Now that she no longer needed to get her stock from her senior and had signed a contract with Water Melodies that allowed her to pay after she had sold the stock, she no longer lacked money.

Carlisle heard the busy signal and laughed exasperatedly. "She's very career-driven!"

Hank had called his girlfriend, but the call ended after they exchanged a few words.

The light in Hank's eyes dimmed.

"What's the matter? Doesn't she want to see you?" Carlisle asked, a smile playing about his lips.

"Of course not! She's just busy right now. She told me to wait for her for a while." Hank forced a smile.

"You're just lying to yourself." Carlisle had once been in the same shoes. He immediately recognized what the forced smile on Hank's face meant.

Hank had come all the way to Yorksle from Riverland, but his girlfriend had told him to wait outside for her. If she was in class, then it was understandable.

However, classes were over for the day. It was minus ten degrees outside.

"You should go and eat first. I'll wait for her for a while." Hank pulled out a cigarette and lit

it.

As soon as he lit the cigarette, his phone rang.

He pulled it out quickly and saw that it was his girlfriend, Amaris Rodriguez.

Hank beamed when he answered the call. "Amaris?"

Amaris' gentle, soothing voice came over the phone. "Hank, I'm just too busy today and don't have time to go out. Didn't you come for a business trip? You should settle your work affairs first, and I'll keep you company tomorrow."

"Oh, okay..." Since Amaris had given him a reason, Hank felt better.

After hanging up, Hank told Carlisle and Francis, "Let's go and have dinner. There's a barbeque restaurant nearby that's pretty good."

Carlisle had heard what Amaris said, so he said, "I think she's just making excuses when she says she has no time to see you."

Hank's brow furrowed. He stalked ahead of them, looking annoyed. If Carlisle weren't his boss, he would have lost his temper. He and Amaris had known each other for three years, and they had been in a relationship for one year.

Wouldn't he know what kind of person Amaris was?

Carlisle looked at Hank's retreating figure and shook his head, sighing. "He doesn't believe me. Would I lie to him?"

Francis smiled lightly. "If it were me, I would believe my girlfriend too. If you like someone, the most basic thing you need to have is trust in them, right?"

Carlisle stuck his hands in his pockets and looked serious as he said, "Not every woman is worthy of having your trust. One-sided love is just being someone's lap dog. Hank's just being taken advantage of, and he seems perfectly willing to let it happen."
