Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 213

"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. He yelled, "Get out! It's none of your fucking business!"

The poor girl, on the other, seemed to have found her lifesaver. She looked at Carla with gratitude. Then, she asked for help while struggling to get free from the man.

"Miss, please help me! Please don't leave!" the girl pleaded.

Carla did not like how she was ignored by the huge man. She kicked the door and it opened widely. Then, she took a golf club behind the door and firmly stated, "Sir, I will repeat it again. Please let her go!"

Carla felt sympathy for the poor girl since she once had a similar experience. So she couldn't just walk away. It just wouldn't be right.

"Shit! You're being so fucking annoying!" the man yelled. Then, he stood up and finally got off the poor girl. He walked towards Carla and challenged, "Go on! Are you going to dare and hit me with that? Give it a try!" The man opened up both of his arms widely as if confidently inviting Carla to hit him.

Carla took a step back since the fat man was approaching her. She was scared since the man kept on walking towards her direction furiously. When Carla stepped out of the lounge, the fat man stopped. He warned, "No? Then go away. It's none of your concern."

Then, the man turned his back and approached the girl who was starting to flee. He grabbed her by the arm and threw himself onto her again.

Realizing that the man wasn't going to stop what he was trying to do, Carla mustered all of her courage. She tightened her hands on the golf club and then she kicked the door again. Without a pause, she hit the man on the back with the golf club.

The fat man didn't expect that she would dare to come back and hit him.

With a surprised look on his face, he rubbed his back and stood up. Obviously, he was provoked by what she did. He walked towards Carla as he glared at her.

Wham!

Carla was pushed heavily to the wall by the fat man. It hurt so much that she couldn't help but let out a soft hum.

The loud sound attracted the attention of the people outside.

Kelvin patted Johnny on the shoulder and pointed to the lounge area. He asked, "Johnny, should we go to see what's going on?"

The locker rooms of the golf course were divided into two sections. Each section had some lounges. The lounge which Kelvin and Johnny were in at that time was next to the one where all the commotion was happening.

The door was wide open so it was easy to find out what was happening inside.

Johnny took a quick look at Carla who had been pushed onto the wall. Then, his eyebrows furrowed as he yelled at Kelvin, "Don't meddle in others' affairs. Let's go."

"But, but..." Kelvin hesitated. He didn't feel that it was right to just leave.

But then, when Johnny and Kelvin were about to leave, they saw Carla get up. She was struggling a lot but she still managed to stand up.

Carla was pissed off the moment she saw how the fat man was so bold that he tore the girl's clothes apart and wouldn't get his hands off the poor girl. Rage flashed in Carla's eyes.

Clenching her teeth, she grabbed a chair and was about to throw it to the man forcefully.

However, before she could do it, a hand stopped her arm.

It was Johnny. He took away the "heavy weapon" from Carla's hand. He thought that the chair was way too much. She could go to jail for killing that man. Johnny couldn't help but feel that she was stupid.

After putting down the chair, Johnny pulled the fat man off the waitress and said, "Sir, do me a favor and let her go."

The fat man took a look at Johnny, who looked like he wouldn't be easily taken care of like Carla. Additionally, when the fat man saw Kelvin, who walked in behind Johnny, he realized that his plan was ruined because he would not be able to fight against two men at the same time.

Upon figuring out the situation, the fat man dusted off his clothes and gave Carla a ferocious stare. Then he left.

The poor girl cried out as she thanked Johnny and Carla while trying to cover herself with her torn clothes.

Carla was silently relieved. She rubbed the scratch wound on her arm.

"Johnny, Thank you," she turned to him and expressed her gratitude. Without his help, she couldn't have saved the poor girl and herself.

Johnny turned to her and stared for a few seconds. Without leaving a word, he left just as usual.

Carla looked at the girl and started to console her. Then, she took off her jacket and gave it to her. A few moments later, more staff of the golf course entered the room. They assissted the poor girl as Carla gave her testimony of what happened. After apologizing and assuring Carla that they would do the necessary actions to reprimand the fat man, they left. When Carla got out of the locker room eventually, Noah had been waiting for her for a long time.

"What happened?"

he asked, concerned. The moment he noticed the scratch on her arm, he frowned at once.

"It's not a big deal. We just run into some scum!" Carla replied in a calm voice. She noticed that Noah couldn't take his eyes off her arm so she assured him, "It's just a scratch. It's nothing serious. I'll apply some medicine to it when I get home."

Noah didn't push the matter further and nodded his head. All he did was ask, "Why didn't you call me?"

"It happened so fast. 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.
