"Excuse me. I'm looking for Mr. Terence An."
As she looked up to check who it was, Carla saw an unfamiliar tall man with a handsome face walking toward the office.
After knocking on the door, he poked his head to take a peek. When he saw Carla inside, he was a bit surprised and asked, "Are you... Are you Mrs. Carla An?"
To this, Carla sat up straight and politely greeted him, "Yes, I am. Who might you be?"
"Oh, my name is Brian. I work for Mr. An."
Brian's brown eyes suddenly flashed dark after looking at Carla from head to toe. "Since Mr. An is not here at the moment, I'll just come back later," he told her.
Watching him leave the room, Carla helplessly shrugged her shoulders and just went on checking over her design drawings.
After about half an hour, Terence had wrapped up the meeting and came back to his office immediately.
At the same time, Carla saw the man named Brian walk in with Terence. From the looks of it, he seemed to be reporting something to Terence.
While listening to Brian's report, Terence walked up to Carla and took away the snacks from her hand. "Watch what you eat. Too much junk food would be bad for your health. I have already asked your assistant to bring you some desserts. That would be much better. Just wait for a while, honey. This won't take too long."
After scolding her a bit, Terence dimply threw away the chips which Carla had actually just opened into the trash bin.
Because of that, Carla gave him a sharp look. Right now, she just really wanted to eat some snacks. All she had been eating for these past couple of months were nutritious food, so she was sta
who was sitting in the back seat.
They were on their way back to the villa.
Carla was looking through the window, enjoying the view outside. Hearing Carol's words, she turned to look at her as she took a sip of her yogurt drink. "What? Is there something wrong?" she asked, without a clue as to what she was referring to.
"I couldn't help but notice how the man named Brian had been giving Mr. An weird looks the whole time he was in the boss's office. Didn't you notice that?" Carol explained. Actually, she had quite a keen eye for detail. From the moment Brian and Terence walked into the office, she was able to notice that right away.
"What are you trying to say? Are you telling me that Brian is a bad guy?" Carla asked, obviously feeling a bit worried.
To this, Carol shook her head and replied, "No, that's not what I meant. I just have this feeling that... that Brian was staring at Mr. Terence with... with... Ugh, I don't know how to explain it."
Taking another sip of the yogurt, Carla rolled her eyes and blurted out, "So, you're implying that Brian is... gay?"
