Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 377 I Will Stay Here Tonight (Part One)

In a luxury restaurant, Carla was casually enjoying a meal along with Noah.

All of a sudden, she felt an itch on her nose, so she put down the fork she was holding on the table to

rub it.

"What's the matter? Did you catch a cold or something?"

noticing how she had been repeatedly rubbing her nose, Noah became a bit concerned and asked her.

"No, it's not because of that. I think I'm just a little allergic to the flowers they have here." Glancing over

at the pink roses in the exquisite vase displayed on the table, Carla wondered if those flowers were the

reason why she had been getting the urge to sneeze nonstop. She had been feeling fine even just this

morning, so she was quite sure that she didn't catch a cold or anything.

Upon hearing her response, Noah immediately gestured for the waiter to come over and take the

flowers away.

"Are you feeling any better?" he asked in a concerned voice.

Promptly nodding her head, Carla answered, "Yes, that's much better. Now, let's get back on track.

Noah, from your perspective, what do you think is the most important issue that our company has to

deal with in the merger we are forming with the L Company?"

She inquired about this question in particular simply because she had just heard about it in a meeting,

and as a result, she became somewhat interested in the L Company. Supposing that Noah might be

able to give her a bit of information about it, she brought back the topic regarding the merger.

"If I had to say, it would most probably be the fact that they still haven't made up their mind about

working together with us. The L Company has shown great interest in the merger when we discussed it

in a meeting before. But as of this moment, I really don't have any idea what's causing them to hesitate

about it. And even up until now, they still haven't given us a definite response regarding the merger."

Savoring the food in his mouth, Noah casually answered Carla's question.

As Carla was bobbing her head, he went on and added, "I actually have plans to go to the L Company

personally in order to talk about these matters with them thoroughly in the days to come. Would you

like to accompany me there to keep your mind off of things? There's a good chance it would end up

being quite a long negotiation, so I'm guessing that we would have to stay there for about a couple of

days, possibly even weeks."

After hearing his suggestion, Carla pondered about it for a second before replying, "Hmm, let's see. I've

just been promoted as the Marketing Manager, and there's still a lot of things which have to be taken

care of. Well, in any case, I'm still trying to familiarize myself with running the company at the moment.

So, I'm afraid that I'm not qualified enough to go there with you."

With a firm grip on her hand, he tenderly said, "Please don't push yourself too hard, Carla. You're

already doing great. If you want to come in for work in the company, then feel free to do so as you

please. But if you happen to not want to show up, I wouldn't blame you for it whatsoever. At the end of

the day, your health is now of the utmost importance."

"Well, I know that already."

Carla beamed him a smile, shifting her focus over to the food on her plate and was about to eat. So,

she pulled her hand away from his and proceeded to grab the fork and knife.

After quickly grabbing something to eat, she returned to the Hua Group alongside Noah.

Despite that, Carla headed over to her office first.

Just as she was about to walk into her office, her assistant Helen stood by the doorway and whispered

under her breath, "Miss Carla, Mr. Terence has just given you a call and he was asking for an

appropriate time for you to come and meet him tomorrow."

"Well, what's wrong with that guy? Couldn't he have just said it over the phone? Why did he have to

bother coming all the way here?" Carla blurted out. Seemingly a bit perplexed, she picked up the

phone straight away and dialed his number to ask him what it was all about.

The phone had barely even rang once when the call was picked up.

"So, let me take a guess. You've just gone back to your office after having lunch with your fiance, isn't

that right?" Every question Carla wanted to ask him had been interrupted by those words coming from

the other side of the line. Terence sounded so jealous as he said those things to her.

"You've already sent a spy to watch my every move. What else do you want from me? What is it that

you're so afraid of? Couldn't you be feeling at ease by now?" Carla poked fun at him. While she was

talking over the phone, she glanced at Helen, who was standing right beside her.

Helen understood what she meant right away and proceeded to walk out of her office.

"Feel at ease? How could I possibly feel at ease? My wife and our child are spending time with another

man every single day. Under such circumstances, let me be the one to tell you that no man in his right

mind would be able to feel at ease."

Terence jeered at her, and because of that, the thought of Carla having lunch with Noah suddenly

popped up in his mind, making him feel sick to his stomach in utter disgust.

"Hmm, it sounds like our Mr. Terence is getting so jealous right now. Well, I'm enjoying how you're

acting like this." As a wide grin crept onto her face, she went on and added, "Now, you have to tell me

why you were asking me to come and meet you tomorrow. Can't we just talk about it over the phone?"

"No. If I tell you everything right now, then what else am I supposed to say to you when we meet up

tomorrow? Anyway, it's really nothing important. Being able to see you is what matters the most,"

Terence said, feeling so cheeky.

Upon hearing that statement, Carla curled her lips. But from out of the blue, a random thought seemed

to have suddenly crossed her mind, so she asked, "How's grandfather doing? Is he doing well?" Carla

tightly bit her lip after remembering that Grandpa Nicholas had been scheduled for surgery in just a

couple of days.

"He's actually doing just fine. Especially after finding out that he is about to have a great grandchild,

whenever I would drop by to check up on him, he'd always be in high spirits, asking about the child in

your belly. On top of that, he has been bugging me on how he has to come up with a fitting name to call

his great grandchild."

After telling her about his grandfather, Terence couldn't help but smile at the thought of his

grandfather's condition improving little by little.

When he came over to visit his grandfather before, he would always catch him looking so down in the

dumps and dejected. But from the moment he got to know that Carla was expecting and carrying his This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

first great grandchild, there had been a significant change in him. He began to smile more and more

and was now even so willing to cooperate with the doctor regarding his treatment.

"I'm glad to hear that. So, we'll just let grandfather decide what to name our child then." As she was

having a good time taking with Terence over the phone, she suddenly noticed Helen, who was standing

by the door, gesturing toward her.
