Noah didn't pay attention to what Johnny had said. Instead, he turned to Carla and stated, "Carla, let's go."
Carla nodded in agreement. Then, she immediately walked away. Subconsciously, she wiped her lips with the back of her hand.
She didn't say nor do anything but on the inside, there was a turmoil in her mind. She wanted to cry or scream at Johnny or both.
When Noah kissed her at their engagement party, she was very uncomfortable. More importantly, she felt a pang of huge guilt in her heart because she felt that she was betraying Terence. But right then, Johnny also kissed her! No one could imagine what she was going through at that moment.
She thought, 'Would it be possible to change my lips?
Those that I have feel so dirty. I want to change them for clean ones. I only want to be kissed by Terence for the rest of my life. I absolutely don't want other men to touch my lips!'
However, no matter how much Carla tried to be discreet, Johnny noticed when she wiped her lips. Johnny smiled widely and immediately, he was in a good mood.
There were a lot of pretty women around him who would be willing to throw themselves at him. Sometimes, there were even some young married women who would try their best to attract him. But there was something about Carla that piqued his interest so much. It took him a long while to put his finger on it. Until he arrived at the conclusion that Carla disgusted him so much, Johnny thought that maybe that was the reason why he was so obsessed with this woman.
Inside the car, Noah was particularly silent while they were on their way home.
He didn't say anything at all. He just stared at the window with an expression that Carla couldn't read.
All she could be certain of was that he was angry.
However, she didn't know how to explain the situation to him.
After a while, Carla and Noah finally arrived at the villa.
But still, Noah didn't say anything to Carla. He just quietly got out of the car and made his way to his room.
Carla wanted to call out to him so that they could properly talk. However, she hesitated for a few seconds. She thought that if he went back to his own room, she could have time for herself. She considered that she needed a little time to assess what happened and carefully think about what to say to Noah.
So instead, she remained quiet and made her way back to her room. Soon enough, it was evening.
Carla was scheduled to travel tomorrow for a business trip.
Although she would only be there for a day and would immediately come back the next day, she still felt a little sorry for Noah. She didn't want to leave without saying anything to him. With this in mind, she walked towards his room.
"Noah, are you sleeping already?"
Carla asked softly while she knocked on his room's door.
After a while, she heard footsteps at the other side of the door. Soon enough, the door opened.
Noah, who was wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt looked like he had just washed his hair. His hair was a bit messy right then, making him look a little ragged and youthful. If Carla were to be honest, he looked less mature than usual. Although, he completely looked like a handsome young man at that moment.
"What happened? Is there anything wrong?"
