"Hello, Miss Ji. My boss wants to talk to you. Are you available now? Just five minutes. You can come back immediately after,"
said the middle-aged man who stopped in front of her.
Carla looked at him in disbelief. She thought that he must have mistaken her for someone else. She pointed at herself and asked, "Are you sure your boss wants to talk to me?"
"Of course, Miss Ji," the man replied with a smirk.
Carla hesitated and glanced at Rainer who stood not far away from her.
Rainer stepped forward and told her in a low voice, "He is working for Mr. Terence's father. Miss Ji, be careful!"
"Hmm. I see!" Carla was very nervous. Sean and Terence dived into the water and she was all alone.
She could see Sean wave to her excitedly in the wather.
"Rainer, take some pictures of Sean for me, will you? I'll be right back!"
After talking to Rainer, Carla glanced at Sean and left with the man.
Terence was diving in the water when he saw Carla leaving. He frowned and made a gesture to Nathan before he left the water.
Carla was still in shock.
Did the people of the An family have super powers?
They got her information not long after she arrived. Moreover, they found her in such a short time and came to get her in Terence's absence. How could they possibly do that?
Two bodyguards stood outside the aquarium park's cafe.
Carla came in and saw that there was only one man inside the room and he was sitting next to the window. He was about fifty, but because of his thick hair, he looked younger than his age. At first glance one might think that he looked similar to Terence. But when Carla looked at him carefully, she found that they were very much different.
She had seen Terence's brother before. She realized that Rhys and his father had the same appearance.
Terence, however, did not look as arrogant as the two of them. Terence was much more well-behaved and elegant.
"You really are from a small, uncivilized place. You are nothing but a country girl. How dare you? You didn't even have the decency to greet me. Did your parents not teach you the proper way of greeting the elderly? How rude," Edmund mocked. He was making tea from a small porcelain tea pot.
"Mr. An, this is our first time meeting. I barely know you, and I only came here because of your abrupt invitation."
Carla smiled and walked towards him confidently. She was not overwhelmed by him at all.
She thought that since she had met Terence's grandfather already, there was nothing to fear anymore.
Edmund placed the delicate tea pot on the table and looked up at her. "You are really a brave young lady! Miss Ji, do you know why I invited you today?"
Was he challenging her?
Carla scratched her head. She felt as if she was getting a headache. The Ans were not easy to deal with. Terence's grandfather, Nicholas, was obviously a veteran. It was unlikely that Edmund was a soldier. However, his eyes were as sharp and strict as that of a soldier. He looked like an official with a high position or a business tycoon who was used to ordering people around.
"As far as I know, you are a noble man. What you are thinking must be different from an ordinary person like me. I guess you wanted to meet me because you wanted to know more about me, the woman Terence is obviously interested in. After all, Terence is your son. Every father cares about his son, right?"
In fact, Carla was not sure if that was indeed his intention. She just wanted to make sure that what she said wouldn't offend Edmund. She didn't know the An family very well, after all.
