Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 346 Meeting Terence

Noah was never the type of person who drifted off from his dates. However, for Carla, he made an

exception.

He checked the time and found himself behind the schedule. It was either he left now or he would be

late.

Thus, he planned to push the car door open to see if Carla was good with the dress. However, he

wasn't ready for the pleasant surprise to welcome him. The wedding dress store's glass door opened

right at the moment he looked up.

Then, just like in the movies, everything around him seemed to slow down, leaving just a stunning

beauty running out of the door towards him.

With one of her hands pulling the dress and the other holding her pair of high heels, Carla looked

exactly like a ragged Cinderella; beautiful, astounding and most of all, very special.

Noah had seen hundreds of delicate girls in fancy dresses. But none of them equaled to the woman

sprinting airily right now with her sports shoes on. She was just perfect.

A writer once said, "there are too many good faces in the world yet too few interesting souls."

Carla's beauty was more than skin deep. She wasn't displaying her beauty on purpose. Nonetheless, it

was still undeniable.

Lost in his thoughts, Noah just couldn't help but stare at her.

It was only after Carla knocked at his window that he finally came back to his senses. Realizing that the

door was still locked, he immediately pressed the lock button.

Carla immediately opened the door and got into the backseat. She then put her high heels away and

said, "Noah, please drive!"

Looking at her through the rearview mirror, Noah started the engine and asked, "Did you spend the

whole twenty minutes just changing your dress?"

"No. I was bargaining with them. This dress is so expensive and they don't rent it." Carla sighed heavily

then leaned back in the backseat.

Noah was speechless.

He never really cared about the prices whenever he was shopping. Curiously, he looked at the high

heels. "How about these shoes? Did you buy them at the wedding dress store?"

"No, I didn't buy them. When I was trying on the dress, the shoes fitted me perfectly, so I spent some

time begging them to give the shoes to me."

While speaking, Carla fumbled inside her bag to get some makeup tools. She didn't have the time to

have a makeup artist do her makeup, so she had to do it by herself on the way.

Noah was once again speechless.

Considering how wealthy Carla was now, it was amusing that she still kept her frugal habits.

"I'll transfer some money to your account later. You should be shopping more often. Buy yourself

something nice," said Noah.

Carla was tying all her hair up in a bun when she glanced at Noah. "There's no need. The dress isn't

worth the money. Look at the fabric. I wouldn't even buy this if I wasn't in a hurry."

There were various kinds of dresses ranging from different prices in that shop. Those dresses were

only worn once after all. Thus, it was unnecessary to spend a lot on it.

Carla was in the middle of that thought when she suddenly remembered Terence. He had always given

her plenty of money, which could support her for ages.

"The money..." she unconsciously whispered.

It suddenly occurred to her that she still owed Terence some money.

At the thought of it, Carla quickly took her phone and transferred an amount of money to Terence's

account.

Although it was willingly given, she still didn't want to owe Terence anything.

She had promised to pay him back. Thus, it was just right for her to keep that promise.

Most importantly, it would remind Terence of her.

Putting down her cellphone, Carla looked at the mirror and started with her makeup. It was a must to

wear makeup in such grand parties. She was aware that heavy makeup wouldn't suit her, so she opted

for something light. She just wanted to look presentable at least.

Meanwhile, Terence was sitting in his office somewhere in JA City.

He looked cold while blankly staring at the window before him as if there were lots of things in his mind.

"Mr. Terence, Rena is ready to go. The car's at your service anytime."

It was Rainer who broke the silence in the room. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

"I know, but it's still early,"

replied Terence without even turning his eyes away from the darkening sky. It was then that his phone

suddenly buzzed inside his pocket. He checked it and saw a message that someone transferred money

into his account.

He ignored it at once and put his phone down.

However, he changed his mind after a while and took his phone up again. Who would be transferring

money to his account anyway?

Rainer stood aside and observed Terence. He said, "Mr. Terence, are you expecting something? I've

heard that Noah will carry a girl whose last name is Luo as his date tonight..."

"I'm not expecting anything.

Mind your own business." Terence cut him off and shot him a dagger stare.

Thus, Rainer immediately shut up.

After a while, Terence spoke, "Call my brother and check if he could attend the party on my behalf."

Rainer wanted to say something that time but just nodded instead. "Okay, I'll ask him."

He quickly made a phone call then went back to his boss after. "Mr. Terence, I'm afraid that your

brother can't make it. He is currently on a business trip. I guess you will have to go to the party by

yourself," he reported.

Helplessly, Terence massaged his temple and waved his hand. "Fine. Fetch my coat."

The air in JA City was sizzling with noise and excitement that night.

The Angel Charity Hall was bustling with celebrities. A grandiose chandelier was reflecting colorful

lights onto everyone there. Well-dressed people were chatting and socializing from corner to corner.

All the renowned entrepreneurs in this country were invited to the party. Each of them was exchanging

insights with the others and had contributed a lot to the success of the charity.

Coming from HA City, Carla and Noah were rushing outside the hall. The long drive had them late for

several minutes.

The ceremony had already begun.

They heard that the charity auction would soon follow the event.

"Are you nervous? You don't have to go in if you are." Noah stared at Carla who was pretending to be

cool. However, only she knew how wet her palms were.

Taking a deep breath, Carla composed herself. Who said that she was giving up now?

She was here to see Terence, nothing more, nothing less.

"I'm fine. It's just a charity dinner. It's no biggie," said Carla while letting go of the hemline of her dress.

She then made several steps onto the red carpet and turned to Noah. "Come on."

Smiling softly, Noah looked at her affectionately. It was clear to him that Carla was here for Terence.

However, he couldn't stop his pride from bragging, knowing that he was with this beautiful woman.

Although her dress was bought at a bargained price, Carla still looked like a princess tonight. The light

pink dress wasn't glamorous at all but then she made it look perfect.

She wasn't wearing any jewelry. However, it was her pureness and cleanliness that made her stand

out.

"Wait, look at how others make their entrance." Noah called her as Carla was just heading towards on

her own.

"Oh! I'm sorry."

Hearing him, Carla stopped walking and observed the couple ahead. The woman was holding the

man's arms and together they walked slowly and gracefully.

As if on cue, she nodded at Noah and waited for him to stand by her. She then grabbed his arms and

imitated the woman ahead of them. They began to walk.

As soon as they reached the gate and handed the staff their invitation, an announcement boomed

inside the hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Let us all welcome the arrival of Mr. Noah from the Hua Group and his date!"

The moment it was announced, a man who was standing in the middle of the crowded hall immediately

turned at the entrance.

At the same time, Carla was glancing around the hall the second she came in. She soon found Terence

who was stunningly handsome and elegant while being surrounded by the crowd.

Seeing Terence, Carla couldn't help bursting into a smile. She didn't come in vain.

Terence, on the other hand, was staring at Carla too. Their eyes were instantly welded. For a moment,

Carla felt like everyone in there just melted in the background, leaving her and Terence alone.

Her smile went broader.

She let go of Noah's arm and walked towards him.
