Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 215

The noise was piercing that it made Carla turn around immediately.

She quickly approached the door and peaked through the transparent window. She saw that Terence was standing up then and the chair beside him had been overturned, a clear proof of how mad he was at that moment.

There were several middle-aged men sitting on both sides of the table. One of them picked up the overturned chair in haste while the rest remained silent, listening intently to Terence.

It was hard for Carla to hear from outside the room what Terence was saying. But she could still sense that he was pissed off.

Her attention was suddenly disrupted when she saw Rainer approaching the conference room with some tea on a cart.

An idea quickly came into her mind. She walked towards the door of the room and then opened it for Rainer.

"Thank you... Miss Carla?" Rainer looked up and was surprised to find Carla right there.

Carla blinked her eyes at him and subtly gestured him not to expose her identity. Rainer glanced at Terence and immediately knew what was going on. He walked into the meeting room like everything was fine.

Carla followed Rainer inside and helped him serve the tea to everyone in the room.

"Terence, I should be blamed for what happened. It's all my fault. I'll personally go and ask them to revise the project tomorrow. Compared to the loss we're going to have, it's more important for us to maintain the reliability of our brand right now,"

a middle-aged man sitting on the right side said.

"But the loss is not that small. It's a 700 million dollars investment. Do you think you have the right to make revisions at your will?"

a bald man on the left side disagreed.

"Stop it, both of you. In my opinion, it's better to send a team to investigate the situation first. If there is something that needs to be revised, then that would be the time for us to do it. If the requirement of the products can be fulfilled by over 60%, we probably can leave it as it is. This way, we can save half of the loss,"

a man in a white shirt suggested.

With his right hand on his chin, Terence remained silent for a while. He was in deep contemplation as he sat in the middle of all the suggestions and arguments. Eyebrows furrowed, he looked at the report in his hand one more time and then slammed it down on the table.

"I'll personally pay a visit to NF. As for revising it or not, we'll decide on it when I get back," Terence said as his sharp eyes scanned the managers. All of a sudden, he noticed a woman who was clearly not there earlier.

After he realized that it was Carla, the coldness in his eyes faded away gradually.

"That's it. Meeting is dismissed." He tried to sound as stern as he was.

As soon as he finished speaking, the said managers stood up immediately and got out of the room one by one. No one dared to create any more unnecessary sound at that moment.

Seeing them leave, Carla walked up to Terence and kissed him on the cheek. She comforted him by saying, "All right. Don't be so angry. The AJ Group is really wide so it's normal that it will run into a lot of problems."

Rainer pulled down the curtains and closed the door of the conference room before he left.

Carla completely understood how there would be a lot of problems that a company might go through since the small company that she used to work at had endless problems that needed to be solved.

But that was nothing in comparison to the AJ Group which had a lot of branches in so many industries.

Terence felt better after hearing her soothing words. He pulled her by the waist, made her sit down on his lap and squeezed her silky cheek.

"Didn't I told you to wait for me in my office? Why did you come here? Did I frighten you just now?" he asked, a little concern at what Carla had just witnessed. He combed her hair and wallowed in the comfort of her smile. Whenever he got to see her, he would immediately calm down.

"Of course not. You're so handsome when you get angry!" Carla exclaimed with a smile. However, as soon as she remembered what he said to those managers, the smile on her face faded.

"Are you really going to NF?" she asked as she looked into his eyes, worry evident in her voice.

Terence's eyebrows furrowed a little bit but soon unfolded as he explained, "Yeah. The problem is very complicated this time. Even if we send a team there, they might not figure out the problem. So it's better for me to go there in person."

What Terence didn't tell Carla was that the problem behind the program was not just about the 700 million dollars investment. If he couldn't remove the hidden complication, it would be 7 billion dollars of loss the next time. What was worse, the image of the AJ Group was on the line.

"But I heard that your eldest brother is in NF, right? If you go there, will you be in danger? Or... could this be some trap that he set up for you?"

Carla voiced out her concerns with his safety, which was also shown on her face.

She had been with him for so long. Although no one told her about all of the details, her instincts just knew.

Besides, she had seen Terence full of his own blood the last time they were in BH City. And it was Marcus's work. 'What a vicious man!' Carla thought.

"Carla, are you worried about me?" Terence asked.

Sensing her concern, Terence felt giddy as he lifted her chin and gave her a kiss. "Relax. I've already considered all of that. If I leave it be, the AJ Group could be ruined. And that's not something that I look forward to. You know that I would do anything for the company."

Terence sighed a little and then he added, "It's like a king conquered the world and I inherited it immediately. If I allow outsiders to mess up the empire and if I just rely on others to solve the problem, then the empire might be taken away someday.

Therefore, I need to personally solve the problem sometimes so as to maintain the empire. Carla, can you understand that?"

Carla looked into the sparkling eyes of the man in front of her. He was born to be with the rays of light, which made him look so charming.

"Yes, I understand. How long are you going to stay there? Oh! how about I come along with you?" she suggested with a pair of glimmering eyes. "Besides, I don't go to work right now. No matter how long you want to stay there, I can keep you company," she added.

Terence shook his head at once and turned her down.

"No way. It's too dangerous. I'm afraid that I can't take good care of you. Listen to me, please just wait for me at home where it's safe," he said with a firm tone as he squeezed her cheek. Carla pouted her lips in disappointment.

"Come on. If you're around me, I will be distracted. How about this? I promise you that I will come back safe and sound. If you don't believe me, I can write it down and sign it." Sensing her discontent, Terence tried to appease her.

Carla was still not happy with what he just said so she got off from his lap and sat down on the chair beside him. "Forget it. How can something like that be assured by a piece of paper?

If you don't want me to go with you, then I won't go!" Carla could understand his concern. However, the problem was that she was worried about him and she wanted to offer some help.

Terence pulled her chair closer and held her hands as he asked, "Are you angry with me? Carla, think about it. if you go with me, then who would take care of Sean?"

Being reminded of Sean, Carla hesitated for the first time. That was right. Her little brother was still a child and she was his only family.

"Although he's already familiar with the servants in the villa, it wouldn't be the same to him if you're not there," Terence explained with a tender voice. His eyes were filled with love towards Carla as he added, "Besides, I'm not going to leave right now. I'll leave after a week at least."

Upon hearing that he wasn't going to leave right away, Carla cheered up a little bit. Her eyes glimmered as she reached out her little finger and said, "Pinkie swear to me that you'll come back as soon as you can. And that you would be safe!"

Terence couldn't help but laugh out loud as he held out his little finger.

He stopped laughing to say, "So do you. Promise me that you're going to stay in JA City and be safe while waiting for me."

Then, Terence kissed her on the lips to finish the pinkie swear.
