But for some reason, Carla still felt that something seemed quite amiss.
She was completely clueless as to why Lucy would suddenly show up in this place.
From what she could guess, Lucy probably came here for Terence. If that were the case, Lucy must be trying so hard to seduce Terence. The question was, 'How was Lucy going to get Terence's attention?'
As far as Carla knew, Lucy and Terence had lived together for two years during the time she went missing. But throughout those two years, Terence didn't so much as laid a hand on Lucy.
That being said, Lucy appeared from out of the blue and was now staying right across Terence's room. With that in mind, Carla thought that Lucy must have plotted something before she came here.
With these thoughts running around in her head, Carla took her phone out of her pocket and dialed a number.
She gave Terence a call.
It didn't take too long before Terence picked up his phone.
"Hello..."
Terence said. Given that he had drunk a few glasses of wine, his voice had gotten a bit hoarse.
"Terence, how long will you be gone? What time are you going to come back?"
Carla went and asked, feeling so on edge.
"I'll probably be coming to the room late tonight. Is something wrong, Carla?"
"Well, I just saw Lucy passing by. And she's staying right across your room. It looks like… It looks like you're the reason why she came here. But I think she has no idea that I came here with you."
Without beating around the bush, Carla told Terence what she saw just now. After a short period of silence, Terence replied, "Carla, I'm going to call Rainer right away. For the time being, you should just stay in his room instead. Give me some time to check what Lucy is planning to do, and I'll keep you posted on whatever I'm going find out."
As soon as he was done talking, he hung up the phone immediately.
Heaving quite a heavy sigh, Carla could more or less guess that Lucy might have been looking at their room all this time.
'Oh, no! Lucy was probably thinking it was Terence's room.'
After some time, Rainer arrived and walked over toward Carla. Then, he showed her to his room and let her wait there until Terence got back.
After a while, Rainer suddenly headed out once more. It seemed that he was discreetly trying to check upon something.
By the time Terence arrived, it was already midnight.
It was apparent that he had a bit too much to drink. The moment he got back, he headed straight toward Rainer's room.
So, Rainer lent him a hand in moving Carla's luggage to his room.
