Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 354 You Have To Be Mine

It was drizzling that night in JA City and the sky was enveloped by thin mist.

Although it was midnight, the lights inside the CEO office of the AJ Building were still on.

As usual, Rainer and Nathan stood by the door as they guarded.

They had already spent quite a lot of nights like this with Terence.

Edmund had set a date for Terence tonight. However, Terence answered that he had urgent works to

do at the time he set. Thus, he refused him. That was nothing new. He had been doing that a lot lately.

Terrance had made it clear that he didn't want to marry Amanda.

Since Edmund couldn't do anything about it, he resorted to introducing a lot of girls to his son. He was

even helping them to get chances to approach Terence.

Nevertheless, all those attempts hit a dead end. Terence refused them all.

Recently, Edmund noticed that Terence was quite close to Rena.

He felt a huge relief about that and finally took a break from arranging dates for Terence.

On the other hand, Terence had kept himself inside his office for a whole day since he found out about

what happened to Carla in the morning.

It was until that time that his office door suddenly flung open and he finally stepped out.

"Nathan, please get the plane ready. We'll leave for HA City in a minute."

"Yes, Mr. Terence!"

Nathan replied. Seeing their boss finally decide to take an action about the issue gave both Rainer and

Nathan reliefs. They had been worried about him since he had been stuck in his office the whole day.

It would be better for him to find a vent for his pent-up emotions or just directly go to see Carla like this.

In HA City.

Carla didn't feel bad about the hard time Bonnie gave her today at all. Instead, she even felt happy that

she would get something back from what happened.

Since Noah warned Bonnie, Bonnie dared not to bully Carla any more. Thus, she could now see her

peaceful days ahead in the Sales Department.

However, this didn't mean that she could just slack in work. It was the opposite. She had to work even

harder now and made progress as soon as possible.

At night, Carla went to have dinner with Noah.

It was cold and cloudy outside. Chilling winds were sweeping over HA City.

But the good thing was it didn't rain.

Carla wrapped her coat tighter around her and fixed her scarf. Then she entered the restaurant

gracefully, making the scene look artistic from one's standpoint.

It was a basement restaurant.

She saw many cars from other cities park outside before she walked in. It seemed that various people

from everywhere came here regularly because of its good reputation.

Needless to say, the restaurant was very special and popular indeed.

Carla felt eerie as soon as her feet touched the carpeted floor. The place was mysteriously too silent for

comfort.

There was no publicly open dining hall here but a lot of cave houses in rows.

It seemed that the whole restaurant was intentionally designed to be dark and quiet, giving the place a

romantic ambiance.

Carla wasn't even staying there long yet when her eyes suddenly widened in surprise. Other than the

dining set before her, there was another elegant and comfortable room inside the cave house!

The little inner room was equipped with a soft couch which was big enough for two people to rest.

There was a big LCD TV on the wall and a dainty bookshelf on one side. Two soft chairs were

strategically placed next to the inner room's door as if to welcome anyone who would come in. The

whole cave room was more than just a simple dining area; it was rather a comfortable apartment to live

in!

"Wow, Noah, it must have cost a lot," Carla uttered as she teased the two goldfishes in the fish tank.

Then she looked around and saw some beautiful wall lamps decorating the wall with their intricate

wood carvings. Just the view made her feel like she got thrown back into ancient times.

"That's okay. It's about three thousand dollars," Noah replied while walking into the inner room.

Carla's mouth instantly parted in surprise when she heard the expensive price. 'What? That's too much

for just two people eating in a restaurant.

It's even more expensive than going to a five-star hotel. Could it be that most of the money is for the

delicate design of the room?' she thought.

"Well, it's not just for the meal. People usually come here to spend more than just a night. It's a better

deal than you think," Noah explained with a gentle smile as he watched her disbelief.

Nodding, she turned back to the goldfishes. So that was it. It seemed like people came here not just to

enjoy dinner. That explained why there wasn't any dining hall outside.

People who wanted to enjoy their time here usually needed to make their reservations many days in

advance.

"But we will go back home tonight after dinner, right? That makes this dinner a bad deal," Carla

responded after a while of silence. She then walked towards the coach to test how soft it was. She

pouted her lips. The coach was indeed really comfortable.

Noah glanced at Carla then took a seat beside her, venturing. "Carla, how about we spend the night

here?"

Hearing what he said, Carla immediately sat up straight and blinked repeatedly. She turned to him and Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

replied with a smile, "I think sleeping at home is more comfortable than sleeping here."

Without any ado, Noah hugged her from behind and whispered to her ear, "Why are you still acting so

distant to me, Carla? Don't you trust me?

I hate admitting this, but you're hurting me." "Oh, Noah! Of course, I trust you," Carla replied as she

gazed at him. "Please don't get me wrong. I just wanted to take things slow, Noah. Do you

understand?"

Noah buried his face to the side of her face, kissing her gently before saying, "Of course, I understand.

Forget what I said, okay? I can wait, Carla."

That was when Carla smelt some delicious food from the outer room. She tactically pulled herself away

from him and said excitedly, "Wow! That smells so good! It must be delicious."

As if she couldn't wait to taste the food, she hastily stood up and said, "Let's eat, Noah."

Noah paused for a while and just looked at her. Then, he smiled, grabbed her hand, and responded,

"Sure."

The waiters were still serving the dishes for them when they reached the table. All the food on the table

looked and smelt mouth-watering. "You go first, Carla. I'll get us red wine," Noah said after pulling a

chair for her. Then he headed out.

Carla just nodded at him and didn't even bother to watch him out. She couldn't wait to take her fork and

taste the dishes. They looked so tempting. She was getting hungrier every second she stared at them.

For the first time since she walked in, she realized that the price of that restaurant was indeed worth it.

Noah was at the reception right now while refusing the waitress.

"No. I can open it by myself. Thank you very much." Then he walked back to their room with a bottle of

red wine in his hand.

Little did he know that some eyes were prying on him as he walked through the corridor. They were

watching his every move silently through the one-way mirror exactly located next to the cave room he

reserved.

"They are in room No. 18, Mr. Terence,"

said one of the people inside the room as he turned to his boss.

Shaking his wine glass, Terrence looked around the room he was in, taking in the same romantic

atmosphere presenting in Noah and Carla's room. He asked, "Why do you think Noah would take Carla

to a place like this? Just for dinner?"

Rainer thought about the question for a while, then he answered, "That's possible. Their house isn't far

from here after all. There's no need for them to spend the night here."

"How about you, Nathan? What do you think?" Terence asked turning to Nathan who was standing next

to the window.

However, Nathan shook his head. He was reading this situation the other way.

"I don't think so. Noah has been too close to Miss Carla for a while. I'm pretty sure that he would do

something tonight. This place he chose was obviously not designed for just dinner. He must be

planning something."

Having an idea about guys like Noah, Nathan knew that they tended to lose their mind once their

patience ran out. He knew about how a man felt when he wanted a woman so bad. It was torturous. He

did something evil once he hit sexual frustrations.

Nathan's train of thoughts halted when a loud banging sound suddenly echoed in the room.

It was Terence almost smashing his glass on the table. He looked stern with his jaw clenching in anger.

He then coldly confirmed, "So you're saying that Noah is seriously considering Carla as his fiancee and

plans to do something with her tonight."

Inside room No. 18.

Noah returned with a bottle of red wine then casually grabbed the bottle opener from the table nearby.

After opening the bottle, he glanced at Carla quickly to make sure that she wouldn't notice what he was

doing.

However, upon hearing the popping sound from the bottle, Carla immediately warned without turning to

him, "You can't drink wine right now, Noah. Don't forget that you're the driver."

"That's fine. We can just hire a driving service," Noah replied. He then took a vial from his pocket and

poured some liquid from it to the bottle of red wine. He carefully shook the wine after, making sure that

the liquid was well mixed with the drink.

'I'm sorry Carla but you have left me with no other choice.

You have to be mine.

Only after this can I own you, love you, and trust you.

I'm sorry, love, but I need to make sure you won't leave," Noah thought.
