Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 92

After letting out a lengthy sigh, Carla clasped her hands behind her head, looking quite dejected and despondent. She seemed to be so out of it.

Karen eventually managed to setup two blind dates for Carla. Both of them were scheduled for Saturday, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon.

And she also made it very clear to Carla that if ever she didn't enjoy having their company, she'd just arrange more dates for her on Sunday.

Even though Carla was feeling so anxious about it, she just couldn't say no to Karen, because she knew Karen actually meant well.

Early on Saturday morning.

Carla was still at home getting dressed, preparing for her date. Whether she liked it or not, she didn't have much of a choice anyway. A girl should always look pretty on a date no matter what.

Sean, who was standing by the doorway, kept a watchful eye on her just like a spy.

"What are you doing? Have you got any plans for today? Why are you dressing up so early on a Saturday?"

Sean asked in a condescending tone, crossing his arms on his chest and watching as Carla changed her clothes twice. This just made him feel even more curious.

"Keep your nose out of this, kid. It doesn't concern you," Carla replied. After shooting him a quick glance, she immediately shifted her gaze back toward the mirror to check how she looked.

After pondering about it a little bit more, Sean was eventually able to put two and two together himself, and he pried, "Are you going on a blind date, Carla? Didn't Terence clear things up with you yesterday? Haven't the two of you gotten back together already?

How come you're still planning to go on a blind date? Why are you doing this? You've already got a boyfriend!"

Upon hearing Sean say those words, Carla looked away from the mirror and glared at Sean then yelled, "Shut up, Sean! Don't be ridiculous! He's already engaged and bound to get married. Why can't I go on a blind date? I'm free to do whatever I want!"

"You just can't! It's true that Terence may have some issues to deal with. But what about your blind date? How are you so sure that person can be trusted?"

Sean raised his voice, puffing his chest with his arms crossed, extremely eager to get an explanation.

Carla bit her lip as a deep frown furrowed her brows while staring at Sean. "Sean, even if Terence and I got married, he may be your brother-in-law, but I am still your sister! We're not even seeing each other right now! And you're already taking his side?" she screamed at Sean, feeling so irritated.

Sean retorted, "I don't care about any of that. If you go on the blind date, I'll make sure Terence knows about it!"

Carla flew off the handle after hearing what Sean had just blurted out. That ended up being the final straw, so she snorted, walked over to him, and then poked her finger into his forehead.

"Fine, just tell him. What do I care?" she went on, thundering against him, unable to put up with it any longer.

At the end of that discourse, she grabbed her purse, swung the door open and bolted out of the room.

When she finally arrived at their designated meeting place, she noticed that her date was already there waiting for her.

Karen had given her some information about her date prior to meeting him to give her a heads up.

This man was a department manager of a small company. His current position might not be that high, but he seemed like such a promising young man. He was a couple years her senior, but Carla was totally okay with it. At least, older men were more mature.

"Hi! Pleased to meet you. I'm Carla Ji,"

Carla immediately sat herself down and introduced herself. It was actually still a bit early, so she was a little surprised to find that her date had arrived even earlier than she did and was already sitting there waiting for her.

"It's nice to finally meet you, too, Miss Ji. I'm Ronnie Luo," Ronnie gave her a polite response. It was clear as day how his eyes suddenly brightened the moment he laid eyes on Carla. So mesmerized by her, he thought that saying she was pretty would be such an understatement.

When the matchmaker told him about Carla, he wasn't really expecting much. He even actually thought that she would turn out being an unimpressive-looking girl.

Now that his doubts had been proven wrong, he was quite pleased, to say the least.

"Go ahead! Please order anything you might like," Ronnie handed the menu over to Carla. Obviously, he just couldn't keep to himself how delighted he was being able to go on a date with such a beauty as he kept on smirking, with his eyes so fixated on Carla.

Carla picked two dishes and then handed the menu back to Ronnie and said, "Let's just split the tab. I will pay my own share. I know we may be on a date, but there's no need for you to pay for me."

"No. Please. I insist. How can I let a lady pay for the first date? At the very least, let me pay for it this time,"

Ronnie immediately waved his hand and rejected her offer.

He was thinking it would be best for him to make a good impression on his date, because this way, it would improve his chances of getting a second date with Carla, possibly even a third or fourth. Who knew?

Seeing how polite and chivalrous he was trying to be, Carla let out a soft chuckle. She refrained from arguing with him further and just decided to make herself at home. Besides, insisting to go fifty-fifty with the bill would just cost her more money anyway.

No one had a clue that Noah was just sitting in the private room next door, at a table where he had a clear view of Carla and Ronnie seated on the public area outside.

Upon overhearing Carla and Ronnie's conversation, he couldn't help but smirk. He focused his attention over to the person sitting opposite him and said, "I'll be staying in BH City for a while. If you have any important matters to discuss with me, you can just come and meet me here."

For as long as it was something of great value, Noah would surely be interested in getting a hold of it.

He would grab onto it with his very own hands, and little by little, he'd do whatever it took just to make it his. Only then would he be able to truly enjoy what he considered his noble undertaking of acquiring something.

"Miss Ji, since we are both searching for a life partner, forgive me if I will be straightforward with you,"
