Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 352

At that moment, Carla was actually just sitting motionlessly on a swing hidden under the shade.

And right next to her were four bottles of water.

If you were to think that she would actually run all those twenty laps all by herself, then you would be completely mistaken.

You should never ever look down on a girl like Carla!

She was well aware that her leg would most probably give in after running even just ten laps, let alone twenty laps.

For that reason, she figured out a way to avoid going through all that suffering. As the old proverb went, "Money makes the mare go."

She was able to find a girl whose frame was just like hers, with the intention of having that girl wear her coat and run a handful of those laps in her stead.

She was under the assumption that the people who wanted to torment her, Bonnie, most especially, wouldn't have such keen eyesight to see her face clearly. Bonnie's office was a bit of a ways from the track, so Carla was quite certain that she couldn't possibly notice that she wasn't really the one running.

When that girl finished running fifteen laps around the track, Carla thought that it was enough.

Getting up from the swing, Carla waved at the girl and called, "Come over here, Miss! Thank you very much for doing this for me! You should drink some water first!"

Then, she promptly took out all of the cash she had on her pocket and told the girl, "Here's the money I promised you. This is all the cash I have on me right now. And I left my cellphone at home. Just leave me your contact info, and I'll transfer the rest of the payment to your account later when I get home!"

The deal they had, which was one hundred for every single lap, would, of course, be quite an enticing offer for a lot of people.

But in regards to her well-being, all that money was just a trifling matter.

She was now down to the last five laps thanks to the help of the girl she found. So, she thought that she'd better start running and finish the last five laps herself. Else, she was worried that she wouldn't be so convincing when she pretended that she had actually ran all those twenty laps.

With that in mind, she grabbed the coat, put it on, and started running along the track. After one lap, she saw a figure approaching her. However, she still continued running and ignored it.

"Carla!"

Noah called out as he ran up to her to stop her from running all those tiresome laps.

Grabbing Carla's shoulders with both of his hands, he asked her, "What the hell are you doing here? Are you out of your mind? Why would you bother listening to what Bonnie said and run here?! I've always thought that you were a smart girl. Why didn't you be smart this time and inform me about it right away? I could've helped you out. You didn't have to go through this."

There wasn't even a need for Carla to feign being tired even though she had only run one lap around the track. Considering the fact that she hadn't been exercising for much too long, even after just half a lap, she was actually feeling so worn out already.
