Rainer approached Carla in an attempt to tell her something. However, he could only mumble to himself.
At that moment, Carla was watching a TV series on a tablet. She looked up at him and asked, "What's the matter, Rainer? Do you have something to tell me?"
Rainer secretly looked at Terence who was busy with his work in front of his desk. Then, he rolled up his sleeves to show her his arms. He said, "Miss Carla, look at this. Since you left, we had suffered a lot..."
Carla was surprised to see the bruises on his arms.
"Did Terence mistreat you?" she asked, confusion apparent in her eyes.
Rainer turned to look at Terence once again. Then he replied, "Yes, of course. He openly abused us. During those days when you weren't here, he would ask us to practice boxing with him. That happened every single day, Miss Carla. As a result, he beat Nathan and me until we were black and blue!
But it was my brother that had it the worst. Every time, he would get the hardest hits just for giving Mr. Terence some advice..."
In theory, injuries were unavoidable in a boxing ring. However, according to Rainer's statements, they got so much more than that. He and his brother were particularly miserable.
"Don't you have anything to do right now, Rainer? Have you forgotten your own duty?"
Suddenly, a cold voice from behind Rainer was heard. Frightened, he immediately turned around and quickly ran outside when he saw who it was.
Essentially, he was Terence's bodyguard first and foremost. He should be responsible for protecting him. Second, he was Terence's personal assistant. So he would often follow Terence around and would inevitably do some errands for him.
Terence looked at Rainer's back with a sullen look on his face. After setting the documents that he was holding on the desk, he got up and approached Carla.
"Don't believe whatever he said, Darling. After I came back from NF City, I practiced boxing during my free time. They were hurt because of their poor skills. You can't blame me for that!" Terence explained while he sat down beside her and placed his arm around her shoulder.
Carla leaned on his shoulder. Then she looked up at him and asked, "What advice did Nathan give you?"
'Perhaps, Nathan gave him some advice that he didn't want to take, ' she thought.
"It's nothing. I forgot about it already," Terence said, dismissing the topic. With a thoughtful look on his face, he subconsciously held onto her more tightly.
It was impossible for him to give her up.
The same was true for her.
