"What is going on in here?"
Terence asked, with his voice sounding so indifferent, as he walked up toward them.
The fact of the matter was that he had only been gone for a mere five minutes. The waterproof lipstick on his face turned out being a bit arduous to wash off, so it took him quite some time.
He saw Bonnie standing there quivering like a nervous horse. Her face was covered all over with chili oil, and the same went for her white dress. Upon a closer inspection, there seemed to be a disgusting fingerprint stain on it.
When he turned around to check on Carla, he could clearly see a red cross on her tiny and flawless face, though it looked much better than Bonnie's case.
It was so easy for him to read the air after noticing that Carla's hands were stained with chili oil.
There was only one plausible explanation, starting with that Bonnie must have started it all. He was already so sure of it the minute he saw Carla.
"Terence, where is she? I'm going to kill that bitch! I swear I'm going to kill her! Mark my words! I will!"
Bonnie cried out as her face was still stinging due to the heat from the chili oil.
A waiter had quickly fetched a basin of water and handed her a towel to rinse and wipe the oil off of her face, but she just furiously drove him away.
"Bring me all the chili oil in your restaurant this instant! Bring it to me now! I'll pour it all over her! I'll let her know what it tastes like and what it feels like!"
Bonnie bellowed so loud that it almost echoed throughout the entire restaurant. From the looks of it, it seemed that she had already lost it. All she could think of now was how to get revenge. A woman of her status would never in her life let someone like Carla simply walk away without paying for what she had done.
Although she could barely see a thing, she tried so hard to endure the pain and squint her eyes just to locate where Carla was standing, and then she threw herself directly onto her.
But all of a sudden, a familiar figure unexpectedly jumped in front of Carla in order to protect her.
Of course, it was Terence. He grabbed Bonnie's wrist, looked at her with a frigid calm, and gave her a piece of his mind, "That's enough, Bonnie!"
…
Bonnie instantly froze on the spot. Did Terence just tell her off?
"Theo, what do you think you're doing? Don't just stand there! Come over here and help me send Bonnie to the hospital so she can get some medical attention!"
Terence called out to Theo without bothering to wait for whatever Bonnie's reply might be.
