After letting out a lengthy sigh, Carla clasped her hands behind her head, looking quite dejected and despondent. She seemed to be so out of it.
Karen eventually managed to setup two blind dates for Carla. Both of them were scheduled for Saturday, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon.
And she also made it very clear to Carla that if ever she didn't enjoy having their company, she'd just arrange more dates for her on Sunday.
Even though Carla was feeling so anxious about it, she just couldn't say no to Karen, because she knew Karen actually meant well.
Early on Saturday morning.
Carla was still at home getting dressed, preparing for her date. Whether she liked it or not, she didn't have much of a choice anyway. A girl should always look pretty on a date no matter what.
Sean, who was standing by the doorway, kept a watchful eye on her just like a spy.
"What are you doing? Have you got any plans for today? Why are you dressing up so early on a Saturday?"
Sean asked in a condescending tone, crossing his arms on his chest and watching as Carla changed her clothes twice. This just made him feel even more curious.
"Keep your nose out of this, kid. It doesn't concern you," Carla replied. After shooting him a quick glance, she immediately shifted her gaze back toward the mirror to check how she looked.
After pondering about it a little bit more, Sean was eventually able to put two and two together himself, and he pried, "Are you going on a blind date, Carla? Didn't Terence clear things up with you yesterday? Haven't the two of you gotten back together already?
How come you're still planning to go on a blind date? Why are you doing this? You've already got a boyfriend!"
Upon hearing Sean say those words, Carla looked away from the mirror and glared at Sean then yelled, "Shut up, Sean! Don't be ridiculous! He's already engaged and bound to get married. Why can't I go on a blind date? I'm free to do whatever I want!"
"You just can't! It's true that Terence may have some issues to deal with. But what about your blind date? How are you so sure that person can be trusted?"
Sean raised his voice, puffing his chest with his arms crossed, extremely eager to get an explanation.
Carla bit her lip as a deep frown furrowed her brows while staring at Sean. "Sean, even if Terence and I got married, he may be your brother-in-law, but I am still your sister! We're not even seeing each other right now! And you're already taking his side?" she screamed at Sean, feeling so irritated.
Sean retorted, "I don't care about any of that. If you go on the blind date, I'll make sure Terence knows about it!"
Carla flew off the handle after hearing what Sean had just blurted out. That ended up being the final straw, so she snorted, walked over to him, and then poked her finger into his forehead.
"Fine, just tell him. What do I care?" she went on, thundering against him, unable to put up with it any longer.
