Instead of answering Terence's question, Carla chose to ignore it. She just stared at him who was standing in front of her.
Feeling strange at the stare that she was giving him, Terence shook his hands in front of her face and asked, "What's the matter? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Terence, that man just said you were going to hold an activity in which all the products of AJ Group would be free for a day. Is that true?"
Carla asked after taking a moment to construct her question.
Truth be told, Carla was touched by that young couple's dialogue just then.
When she saw how other people could feel happy because of her story, she felt a sense of accomplishment arising in her heart.
When he heard her question, Terence smiled and held her hand. Then as they walked toward the hotel, he asked, "So you heard about that news?" As a matter of fact, Terence deliberately wanted to avoid her question.
However, Carla was eager to know the answer, so she pressed on and asked again, "Is it true then?"
"Yes, it's true. Next week, we'll hold the press conference to officially announce the date of the activity."
Terence knew that there was no point in denying it anymore.
"Wow! That's really amazing! If so, the company will lose a huge amount of money that day, right?" Carla asked him directly. For some reason, she started to become a little keen when it came to money matters. In fact, she thought that it would be fine for one shop to hold the activity. But if all the stores of AJ Group would give its products for free even just for a single day, she couldn't dare to imagine the amount of money that the group would lose.
"My dear, you do know that money doesn't matter to us, right? I just feel very happy and I want to share it with other people,"
Terence said with a bright smile on his face. Before long, they reached the front desk. Terence gave his card to the receptionist.
To him, the most important thing that happened in his life for so long was Carla coming back to him. It only deserved to be celebrated by the whole country.
That was why he didn't really care about such an amount of money because his life had come back to him in the form of this beautiful and breathtaking woman in front of him.
Since Terence and Carla were talking, the receptionist hesitated to interrupt their conversation. When she noticed that they had finished, she immediately greeted them. "Good evening, Mr. Terence!
Please wait a minute. I'll go and call the manager right now!" the receptionist exclaimed.
As soon as the receptionist saw the American Express Centurion Card, and looked up at Terence, she immediately went inside and asked the manager to come out.
In fact, everyone who had watched TV would recognize Terence's face, let alone the employees of the AJ Group.
The employees must pay special attention to their own company's officials.
While the receptionist left to call the manager, Terence took Carla to the sofa beside the desk and sat down. After a while, the manager ran toward them.
"Mr. Terence, you honor us with your presence! You should inform us in advance so that we could have made some preparations to welcome you!
Are you going to inspect our hotel or... stay overnight?"
The manager asked with great care. The hotel that they were in was just a small branch, so the manager had never seen any of the top managers of the AJ Group before.
"Just arrange a room for me,"
Terence said without any expressions on his face.
"Oh certainly, Sir! Please wait a moment. I'll ask someone to clean the best suite for you. The room will be ready in a minute!"
Then, the manager went upstairs at once to personally make arrangements for the suite.
Terence, the President of the company, rarely stayed in the hotel so naturally, all the employees at the hotel all became nervous and excited. And of course, every necessity in the suite that Terence would stay at needed to be replaced with a new one. In fact, every hotel of the AJ Group had stocks of high-class quilts and bath towels, which were all available for their most special guests.
"Hey, you really frighten him! His legs are still shivering right now,"
Carla laughed at Terence when she saw the retreating figure of the manager.
"This could very well be their only chance of seeing me with their own eyes in their lifetime, so it's only normal for them to feel excited," Terence said. As a matter of fact, Terence was used to being treated like this all his life. Being the heir of the family, it came with the title.
Pausing for a while, Terence suddenly proposed, "The street food just outside taste good. Let's go and buy some for our night snacks."
Then, Terence grabbed Carla's hand and stood up to go out.
When they came back to the hotel, the manager had already arranged for someone to have the suite cleaned up really well.
