Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 231 Encountering Marcus (Part Two)

Even inside the room, there were still some guards who were carrying firearms.

This made it impossible for her to escape the room now. As she was slowly walking over to where the

crowd had gathered, she tried to assess her options, looking for a way to get herself out of this

precarious situation.

For as far as her eyes could see, it looked like they were actually inside a grand hall. There were two

men wearing fatigues, both of them holding a girl in their arms. Johnny was also sitting not so far from

the two. The blonde girl she had just seen with him was there as well, lounging beside him.

At the center of the sofa, there was Marcus, casually sitting right in front of her. She was able to

recognize his face even after just a single glance.

He and Terence actually looked so much like each other. However, his eyes were showing no signs of

kindness or compassion. There was only hostility and cruelty lying in them. He had his arms wrapped

around two women, one in each arm. The instant he saw Carla walk in, his eyes suddenly lightened up.

"You... Come over here!"

Marcus ordered her to do so as he was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. After that, he set the

girls free from his clutch and gestured for her to walk over closer to where he was.

Carla had become so horrified. 'Was he able to recognize who I am?' she couldn't stop herself from

worrying.

No! That was quite impossible. She was completely certain that Marcus had never laid his eyes on her

before. And assuming that he had checked her profile before, it would be close to impossible for him to

so easily see through her disguise.

With that in mind, she grinned, much like a Cheshire cat, acting so excited as she moved closer to

Marcus.

But then, before Carla could walk over to Marcus, someone abruptly grabbed her by the waist. "What

are you doing here, beautiful? I have already told you earlier to just wait for me in the hotel, haven't I?

Why did you have to follow me here?"

It took her a moment to process what just happened and realize that the man who had stopped her in

her tracks turned out being Johnny. She was having a hard time trying to shake off his hands, however,

he swiftly grabbed her chin, leaned over a little, and kissed her on the lips.

"Marcus, this is my girl. I had no intention of making her come here, so I told her to just wait for me

somewhere. Who would've thought she would just randomly come here by herself?" Johnny tried to

explain it to him.

Carla had been so caught off guard and stunned because of his stolen kiss.

Marcus replied disappointedly, "So that was it. Now I understand why it seemed like I haven't seen her

before."

Johnny politely smiled at Marcus, dragging Carla over to the side. When he was sure they had gotten

enough distance between them and Marcus, Johnny pushed Carla against a wall and leaned in closer

to her.

To everyone else who might be watching, this young couple might seem like they were just whispering

things.

Carla clenched her jaw and kneed Johnny with all she had got. Glaring at him and jumping down his

throat, "How dare you take advantage of the situation and kiss me?"

"Hush! Don't you know that Marcus enjoys taking everything that Terence holds dear? If he so much as

finds out who you are, have you got any idea what he might end up doing to you?"

Johnny looked down at her with his eyebrows deeply knitted.

"I was just trying to get you away from there! It was just a kiss! I only did that to save you! Do you

realize what kind of situation you've gotten yourself into?"

Fuming with intense rage, Carla glared at him. "But why did you have to kiss my lips though? You could

have just as easily chosen any other part!"

Right after stating her piece, she wiped her lips off with the back of her hands.

"You really don't know anything, do you?! Do you think this is all just a game, huh?"

Johnny got so furious at this uncompromising woman. Upon noticing how Marcus had kept looking over

toward their direction, he pressed his left hand over to the wall to obstruct Marcus' view so that he

wouldn't be able to see their faces clearly. Then he went ahead and wrapped his right arm around

Carla's waist to make it appear as though they were so intimate with each other.

"Carla Ji, I truly couldn't care less just what your reason is for being here, but listen to me, you have to

cut it out with these stupid stunts! I'll let my man send you off later. It would be best for you to go back

home as soon as possible! You hear me?"

Johnny instructed her, whispering under his breath.

Carla understood that he was just trying to help her out and cover for her, so she opted not to argue

with him. "Johnny, I've been so curious about the reason why you'd be coming here. As it turns out, you

were actually conspiring together with Marcus!Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

So, even you are a part of the scheme against Terence as well! Is that right?" she frankly questioned

him.

Johnny's eyes instantly turned cold. He didn't utter a single word. The fact of the matter was he and

Marcus were indeed partners. As for Terence, they had always been adversaries since forever.

But Carla had never truly been aware of that ever.

"Don't act so taken aback. I've always wanted Terence dead, something which is generally known to

almost every single person who knows the two of us." Johnny didn't bother keeping it a secret from

Carla. Terence had been running around, stealing their thunder even when they were still little kids. He

had despised him throughout all of these years.

"You're serious about that, right? Then, that would mean we are enemies from this moment forward,"

Carla stated with a chill in her voice, and her gaze cut through, much like a sharp knife would.

"Johnny, would you mind telling me just what the hell the two of you lovebirds are doing there?"

Suddenly things took a turn for the worse, and Marcus walked over to check up on them.
