Carla knew that she and Terence were meant to torture each other since she got engaged to Noah.
On top of it, she was also aware that the ending of their relationship depended on her decision.
After stating his words, Terence walked towards the door and left without any hesitation.
Carla was left alone as she worriedly scratched her head. She didn't know what to do now. She thought, 'Why is Terence so fond of forcing me to do what I don't want to do?
He shouldn't be warning me over and over even if there's only a month left before his deadline.
I'm not even sure if I should get there as he said.
I know that my decisions are meaningless now. I should go since he has ordered me to go.
But then, should I wait to see him dating Rena for real and watch them happy together? No.
How am I supposed to live if Terence falls in love with another woman?
Moreover, how could he treat me this way when he knows all along that I love him so much?'
A few minutes later, Carla was surprised to see a cleaner come in to help. She remembered Terence talking about it earlier but she didn't take what he said seriously. 'I'll just let the cleaner help me clean this place. I may not be living here for a long time, but this is my home for now after all.'
Soon enough, Carla received the address Terence sent.
Thus, she told the cleaner about some important orders and then went to her room to change. She didn't want to fall behind Rena when it came to looks.
Although she hurried, Terence was no longer at the gate of that ski resort when she arrived. Thus, she let out a long sigh, went straight to the ticket window, and ended up buying her own ticket.
BH City was a famous landmark for skiing. It could be observed especially in this season. There were countless people in that place now.
While waiting in line, Carla heard someone call her and saw Rainer running to her.
"Mr. Terence already bought a ticket for you, Miss Carla," said Rainer as he handed her a ticket.
Realizing what happened, Carla smiled. It was obvious that Terence still cared for her.
"Where is he?" she asked.
"Umh... Miss Rena said that she wanted to see the snow inside the resort, so Mr. Terence accompanied her. Please follow me, Miss Carla. I will take you to them."
Rainer looked shy when he gestured Carla to follow him to the entry.
Walking behind Rainer, Carla noticed that the place did have its right to boast. It indeed had high-quality skiing devices inside. To top it all, it also had this charming ice sculptures and snow waiting for the visitors to appreciate.
"Can I ask you something, Rainer? Is Rena intimate with your boss?"
Carla pretended to casually ask the man walking before her as she seemed to focus more on her steps.
"Well, it can be considered like that,"
answered Rainer while thinking of how other girls couldn't even come close to Terence. Compared with them, he could say that Miss Rena was of a little higher state.
"I see. Is Rena living in the Seaview Villa now?"
Complex emotions showed in Carla's eyes as she continued to ask Rainer.
"No. Mr. Terence sends Miss Rena home every time and then drives back to the Seaview Villa alone," blurted Rainer without even thinking about her intentions.
A smile cracked Carla's lips slowly when she heard those words. The fact that Rena hadn't spent a single night alone with Terence filled her with satisfaction.
She went silent for a while, thinking of what to ask next. Then after some seconds, she looked at Rainer's back again and questioned, "Has Terence ever mentioned that he will marry Rena in a month?" She was more than sure that she wouldn't get the truth from Terence.
Thus, she chose to interrogate Rainer instead.
"Yes. He mentioned it once. You see, Mr. Terence's grandfather has been sick for so long and is scheduled for surgery next month. Provided that nothing serious happens until then, Mr. Terence decides to get married before his grandfather's surgery.
It is our president who arranged all of this. Since Mr. Nicholas's been sick these days, Mr. Terence didn't refuse his father's proposal anymore and just went with what Mr. Nicholas wished."
Rainer secretly glanced at Carla after telling her the truth. He then sighed, "That's the reason why you shouldn't be blaming Mr. Terence, Miss Carla. The most important person right now for Mr. Terence is his grandfather. The surgery Mr. Nicholas will have is very critical. It may even be Mr. Nicholas' last chance to live. All that Mr. Terence wants right now is for Mr. Nicholas to have nothing to regret until then."
