In actuality, the racecourse wasn't actually any stranger to Carla.
"Yo! Correct me if I'm wrong, but she's not the same as the one you brought here last time, right?"
From a distance, Theo noticed him carefully assisting Carla as she was getting out of the car. He somewhat felt like his eyes had been playing tricks on him because it was something he had never seen Terence do before.
"Well, if my memory serves me well, the girl you brought here with you last time was Ivy, right? How is she doing? Where is she now?" Terence hurled back, grinning just a tiny bit as he held Carla by the hand while walking toward Theo.
Theo shrugged and waved to a sexy woman behind him paying Terence no heed after hearing what he just said. "It's already over between me and Ivy. Don't sweat it. Meet my new girlfriend. She's Ashley Fang. Kindly make sure not to call her by the wrong name."
Theo jabbered as he wrapped his arms around Ashley's slender waist. Then, he gave her a peck on her lips and prattled on, "Ashley, let me introduce him to you. This guy right here is Mr. Terence. He's a good friend of mine.
And this is Mr. Terence's girlfriend, Miss..."
Terence shot a quick glance at Carla and uttered, "Theo, her name is Carla Ji. Remember that at all times."
As a close friend, Terence believed it would just make perfect sense that Theo should know the name of his wife.
At that moment, it suddenly came to Theo that he had already met her before at a restaurant. But at that time, he didn't know her name yet.
"Okay, heard that loud and clear! Carla. But her name somewhat rings a bell. Let me see... Oh! Are you perhaps the woman of the hour who saved Terence's life back in BH City?"
Theo asked, snapping his fingers after remembering where he heard that name.
Of course, he had already heard about what happened. It was just that he wasn't aware that the woman who arrived with Terence was actually that Carla.
'It all makes sense now. Terence had been in BH City for so long. And even after he got back to JA City, he still went back to BH City on his free time. It just became apparent that he had been coming back to see Carla.
Word got out that Terence had broken off his engagement with Bonnie for some reason. It must have been all because of her, ' Theo thought right away.
As his close friend and confidante, Theo understood Terence quite well. There was no denying the fact that Carla was sure to become the hostess of the An Mansion, because Terence had clearly been so head over heels crazy for her. At the same time, he also thought that Carla could not be as simple as she appeared.
"Hello, there."
Seeing Theo acting so surprised upon her name getting mentioned, Carla smiled and extended her hand as a response.
