"Is that your friend?"
Noah asked in a tender voice.
Since he was still in recovery and was advised not to do extraneous work, Noah gestured Carla to place a ball instead of doing it himself.
Carla shrugged her shoulders and put down the golf ball. Then, she tried to find the best angle to hit it. "Of course not. I just defeated him once," she responded.
"Really? How did you beat him?" Noah asked with a bigger smile. Although he didn't know Johnny, he still knew about his family, the Ouyang family. After all, the said family also belonged to the top list of HA City.
Carla hit the ball and replied, "Horse racing."
Her words apparently surprised Noah. His eyes immediately went wide. But more so, he was delighted to find out that Carla was even more interesting than he had thought. With a broad smile, he exclaimed, "Wow! It seems like we should go to the racecourse next time. Don't you think so?"
Carla was certainly not that good at playing golf. That was why Noah hadn't expected that she would excel in some other sports like horse racing.
Hearing Noah's words, all that Carla could do as a response was to give him an embarrassed smile because her golf ball was lost again.
She took another ball from the caddie because she believed that she could be better as long as she kept trying.
So, she hit the ball again with twice the force as the previous one.
However, an angry curse was heard as soon as her ball landed.
It turned out that her ball interfered with Johnny's goal. What a coincidence!
Carla lifted the corners of her lips and stopped the caddie who was about to pick up the ball.
"Oops! Sorry about that. My ball ran over yours again!" Carla apologized as she bent down and reached her hand out for her ball. She was really pleased to see Johnny get mad.
Actually, it was normal for a newbie like her to hit the ball in the wrong direction. But it was such a welcome coincidence that her ball stopped Johnny from scoring.
Johnny's face darkened as he picked up her ball before she could and threw it out heavily.
Then, he turned back to play golf without a word as if she was not there.
"Grow up!" Carla snorted at him and then went back to playing as well.
After playing for a while, she got on the golf course's electronic car and headed for the locker room to get changed.
After wiping herself up, Carla got changed and went out of the locker room.
When she walked past a corridor, it seemed like she heard someone calling for help. There were some lounges there and it sounded like the person came from a distance.
She wanted to leave but the sound was getting louder.
"Is there anyone in there?" Carla asked.
Carla couldn't just ignore it so she knocked on the door of the lounge, from which the sound came. But no one answered the door.
Carla slowly opened the door, only to see a huge middle-aged man throwing himself to a girl. The girl was wearing the golf course's uniform, indicating that she worked there.
"Sir, please let her go!" Carla immediately tried to stop the man.
But the man didn't take her seriously when he took a glimpse at her and saw how petite she was
st. I forgot to call you. But everything is fine now. I'm okay!" Carla explained with a relaxed smile as she glanced at Johnny, who had just got into a car and drove off.
At the same time, Johnny looked at Carla and Noah through the rear view mirror and then he stepped on the accelerator.
"Johnny, what relationship do you think they have?" Kelvin asked as he was pretty confused. Carla was Terence's girlfriend, wasn't she?
But as far as he could see, that man was also close to her.
"Noah Hua, the eldest son of the Hua family," Johnny replied. Although he hadn't met Noah before, the top list of the HA City was pretty small. Everyone knew everyone. But there was no denying that Johnny was really curious now since he thought Noah's younger sister used to be Terence's fiancee.
How come he was so close to Carla, Terence's girlfriend?
Judging from their actions, they seemed to be just friends. But it was still hard for him to understand their relationship.
"Really?" Kelvin was astonished since Noah was famous in HA City.
"But, Johnny, didn't you say not to meddle in others' affairs? Then why did you suddenly change your mind and help them?" Kelvin asked with a smile.
Johnny focused on the road since he didn't know either why he changed his mind and helped that stupid woman.
"It's human nature. Any man with a conscience will help them," he plainly stated. He tried to find himself a decent excuse, just so he wouldn't admit to Kelvin and to himself that that woman was special to him.
Meanwhile, Noah had planned to drive Carla all the way home
but halfway on the road, she asked him to pull over.
They stopped at the AJ Group Building.
"Noah, drop me off here, please. I want to give Terence a visit," Carla explained with embarrassment in her voice. She hadn't expected that she would pass by Terence's company on the way home.
But as soon as she saw the building of the AJ Group, she couldn't help but pay a visit to Terence while he was working. She had never seen his workplace before.
'It is still early. He is probably still at work, ' she thought.
