"Mr. Kelvin, do you know my girlfriend?"
Terence dismounted from the horse and approached Carla with a box of fruit in his hand. He handed it to Carla and said, "This is for you."
Carla accepted it and glanced at his sullen face. 'He is jealous!' Carla thought.
Kelvin gaped at Terence. Shocked, he was unable to say a word.
"Er... Mr. Terence! What a surprise to see you here. So Miss Ji is your girlfriend? No wonder! She is extraordinarily beautiful and outstanding. It's my honor to meet you here!"
Kelvin flattered her as soon as he came to himself. It was obvious that he was embarrassed.
Just then, a voice called out to them, "Kelvin, why haven't you chosen a horse?"
A man came over from a stable near them.
Carla turned to the direction of the voice and saw an impressive face. She couldn't help herself from sighing. JA City was really a place of greatness that nurtured so many handsome men. Even though Kelvin was not exceptionally handsome, he spoke beautifully.
The man approached them on top of a brown horse. He was gorgeous. He had a pair of cold, starry eyes that could send people who see them in awe. His lips were thin and had a charming shape. Carla could tell from his appearance that he was a ruthless man.
It reminded Carla of her 'handsome men list'. The men in the top three of her list were all graceful and handsome.
The first one, of course, was Terence. If she labeled them with royal positions, Terence would be listed as the noble prince.
The next one was Noah. He was crafty and cunning. She would list him as the King's hand.
The third one was the man in front of her. It was the first time that Carla had seen anyone who was both aggressive and handsome. He was like a general who had slaughtered thousands of enemies in the battlefield.
"Ouch!"
Carla cried in a small voice. Someone pinched her at the waist! Terence was obviously displeased when she became absent-minded when the man showed up.
She was only curious about this man, nothing more!
Johnny glanced at the girl next to Terence. She was obviously entranced with him. He grinned at her coldly. He was not surprised because the admiration from almost all women was the most common thing in his life.
'Easy girl!' he thought.
"Terence. Haven't seen you for a long time!" Johnny greeted while reigning his horse.
Terence stared at Johnny. He was his arch enemy from childhood. They had been competing with each other ever since they became classmates in the primary school.
"Johnny, how about having a race with me?" Terence challenged. A competition was always inevitable whenever they saw each other.
Johnny grinned and felt excited because of the challenge.
"Good! I was thinking of exactly the same thing!"
Terence and Johnny mounted their horses respectively and went to the starting line.
Theo and his girlfriend were sitting on a bench nearby. They were eager to see the match. Kelvin didn't dare sit with Carla. He decided to join Theo instead.
Carla was left alone in the bench. She enjoyed the delicious fruit that Terence gave her and watched as the two men were getting ready by the starting line.
"I didn't expect that you would call off the engagement with the Hua family for such a little girl. What a shame!"
Johnny taunted Terence while they were getting ready. He took another look at the woman who was eating some fruit without any grace. He could not help but despise her.
The news about Terence's love affair was spreading fast in the media.
It was announced that Terence called off his engagement with the daughter of the Hua family because of their "incompatible personalities".
Terence raised his eyebrows at him and smiled, "Thanks for your concern, Johnny. But it's my right to choose the person who I will marry. You don't need to worry about me."
He was not angry at all at Johnny for looking down on Carla. For him, Carla was a gem.
