Chapter 65 She Wasn't Unfaithful
Chapter 65 She Wasn't Unfaithful
Inside the bathroom, Terence stood in the shower, desperately rubbing his head and trying to recall
everything that happened last night. However, his head still hurt from the hungover and he couldn't
remember anything after he was assisted to his room.
'What if Nathan's judgment is accurate?
If Carla did lose her virginity to another man before me, does it matter? Do I really don't care?'
he asked himself seriously. The hot water kept streaming down at him yet he was drowned with his
thoughts so he completely ignored the heat.
Terence knew that he came from a complicated background. However, no matter how many times
various women threw themselves at him—except for a couple of times when he had to act intimate with
some women for the sake of their corporation—
not once did he really have sex with a woman. He remained a virgin.
Moreover, he knew that whether men or women, once they had been blinded with lust, their own
desires would consume them until it turned into greed.
Fortunately, he was a man with discipline and kept himself in control every single time. Or, that was
simply because he hadn't really been attracted to anyone.
He would rather stay alone and wait for that one special woman to enter his life than follow the trend
and play with women's feelings like they were wrapped around his finger.
So technically, he had never surrendered himself to lust. He wanted to preserve it for that special
woman.
Everything remained the same until he laid eyes on Carla.
Terence wiped the water away from his face and remembered the first time they met. It was dark at
night and when he stopped her electric scooter, her beautiful eyes shined as she opened them widely
and stared straight into his eyes. For a second, he thought that he had met an angel since looking into
her eyes was like looking at the ocean—as clear, as vast and as deep. In that very moment, nothing
seemed important anymore. Just one glance at her lighted up his whole world and it felt like stars were
falling out from her eyes. At that moment, he knew that he could never part from this woman, not
anymore.
Terence woke up from his recollection and walked out of the shower. He wrapped himself with a towel
and entered the bedroom.
He thought to himself, 'Even if Carla had a boyfriend when we first met, I won't hesitate to try and take
her away from him no matter what.
If that's the case, I don't think her virginity matters to me. I will always take her as she is and never will I
regret my choice.' Terence concluded and curled up his thin lips.

brother had no idea that Terence almost flipped his world upside-down after she left this morning.
What she also didn't know was that Nathan almost placed her in the lowest category in his head since
he didn't see any sign of her losing virginity after a whole night of sleeping together with Terence.
She would never know how many accusations had been placed over her head. Even if in reality, she
was the true victim last night.
"Hey Carla, you know what? Terence got me a driver and he told me the driver will send me to school
every morning and even pick me up at the end of the day. I told him that I don't need a driver. I will just
walk with my friends on the main road. But he insisted... So...So I said yes because I knew he won't let
me go on my own. I don't know. I'm just a kid. But I think you should know about this,"
Sean told Carla while they were eating. He pouted at her the whole time and looked straight at her with
his puppy dog eyes.
Sean was completely fine with Terence's offer for he could still recall the other kids and their parents
calling him a liar. He wanted the other kids to know that he was telling the truth but he was also afraid
that Carla might be mad at him.
"Okay. If he insisted, then just do as he said," Carla threw an unusual response to little Sean.
Her little brother was astonished and his mouth involuntarily dropped open. He looked at Carla and
exclaimed, "Oh my god! Carla? Did you just agree to let Terence look after me? I thought you never
liked him because you asked me not to depend on him! Or... Carla! Did you finally come around and
decide to accept him?"
As Sean was speaking, he stood up and pounded his fists on the table with immeasurable joy.
"Finally! Carla! He can be my brother-in-law! You should have been his girlfriend earlier so that no one
could have teased me and called me a liar! Oh yes! Terence is my brother-in-law! He is my brother-in-
law! Woo-hoo!" Sean continued his celebration.
Carla was completely embarrassed by little Sean that she wanted to find a hole and bury herself in it.
While Sean was cheering and clapping his hands, people started to look their way. Each one wore
varying puzzled expressions on their faces.
"Sean! Shut up and sit down! I don't want to hear another word from you! Get down!"
Carla yelled at Sean as her face started to get warm out of embarrassment. Sean listened and stopped
his little ceremony. He sat down on the chair and asked, "Carla, tell me. I guessed right, didn't I?"
Across the table, Carla rolled her eyes at Sean and buried her face into her palms.
"Why are you asking me, Sean? I have no idea to be honest."
She was telling the truth. She didn't know whether she had become his girlfriend or not after what
happened last night.
Terence did confess to her once, expressing his desire to be with her. However, he didn't mention a
word about whether he liked her or not. He didn't even send her flowers or tell her directly that he loved
her.
But, on second thought, Carla recalled this morning before she left his suite...
"Now you're my woman. My one and only beloved woman," Terence's voice echoed clearly in her head.
Carla suddenly blushed all over as the memory of Sean's words kept repeating in her head over and
over again. She patted her face in an attempt to cool it down. 'I think he misunderstood what really
happened last night...' Carla sighed and murmured to herself.
When she realized that Terence misunderstood because she didn't deny or explain anything, her face
reddened even more.
'In what way can I explain to him what happened last night?
Am I supposed to tell him that I "assisted" him with my hand? Or should I say that nothing really
happened...' Carla carefully thought to herself. She could clearly feel her heart racing and a stream of
blood rushing to her brain.
Shaking her head, Carla told herself to calm down and stop thinking about nonsense. She would just
let Terence imagine whatever he wanted to happen.
Carla knew that their relationship had grown complicated day after day. At first, she saved his life
during a very threatening time. Then he saved Sean's life. And after what happened last night, she
couldn't figure out where their relationship stood. 'Damn it... Whatever...' She gave up and stopped
herself from overthinking much farther.
After all, the future was still to come.
As much as she wanted to, she couldn't foresee what was coming to her life. 'So, if he thinks I'm kind of
his girlfriend now, so be it, ' Carla made up her mind and took a sip of her coffee.
After finishing breakfast, Carla and Sean went upstairs.
Upon entering Sean's suite, Carla gave Sean's teacher a call and asked for the notes and exams that
Sean had missed for the past two days. She was worried that if Sean returned to school, he might have
a difficult time catching up with the rest of the class.
Carla received the pdfs and wrote down the quiz on a blank paper for Sean to solve. Then, she started
to go through the material that Violet had texted her. It was just the basic do's and don'ts about the
position she would be in.
Carla knew that getting a job these days was not easy so she decided to made herself familiar with the
regulations in order to perform at her job as perfect as she could.
An hour had past and her eyes were sore because of the small text and the tiny screen of her phone.
There wasn't even a picture on the regulations. She stretched her arms and gently hit her aching waist.
All of a sudden, something crossed her mind.
She recalled that there was a laptop in Terence's suite. Carla felt impressed by her memories and
giggled out loud. She then walked towards the door and prepared to pay Terence a visit. Deep inside,
there was glee because she finally found a justified reason to look for him. A bright smile climbed up to
her face.
"Hey, anyone in there?" Carla knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer.
She didn't know if Terence was inside the suite or not.
After a short moment, the door opened to reveal Terence.
"Hey, Carla,"
Terence greeted her briefly and returned to his desk in the living room. Carla entered his luxury suite
and spotted the documents scattered all over his desk. Another pile of documents was randomly
thrown on the couch.
'Hm... He seems very busy now, ' Carla whispered to herself.
She sat on a chair and stared at Terence. In her eyes, Terence looked so different compared to the
time when he stayed at her apartment. His arched brows were thick and rich. His long fingers kept
flipping over the pages and he bit his thin lips from time to time. 'Now, he looks like a boss to me.' Carla
curled up her lips and propped her arm to one of the chair's arms. Then, she placed her chin on top of
her palm. She was lost in thought.
After a while, she suddenly remembered the "purpose" of this visit. She wanted to ask Terence if she
could borrow his laptop and yet she just sat there and watched him.
It was then that she noticed Terence was using the laptop. 'Okay, fine... I'll come back later for the
laptop then, ' she thought to herself.
"Where are you going? What's the matter?"
Terence's voice stopped Carla on her tracks and she slowly turned in his direction. Terence noticed that
she tried to say something while looking at his laptop.
"Nothing. I'm just walking around since I don't have work and Sean was doing his homework," she gave
him a brief splutter of laughter. "It looks like you're busy. I'll escort myself out. Bye-bye for now," she
continued as she turned around and closed the door behind her.
Terence let her go and called Rainer to come to his suite.
After returning to her room, Carla lied down on the sofa and felt her heart beating really fast. She
sighed and suddenly, someone knocked on her door.
It was Rainer. He went inside, holding something in his hand.
"Hey, Miss Carla. Mr. Terence asked me to give you this," Rainer smiled at her and passed the laptop
to her.
Carla paused for a second and finally, she couldn't resist and laughed out loud. She thought that
Terence was too busy to pay any attention to her when she came to his room. However, Carla was
wrong about him. Terence knew exactly what she needed after observing her actions.
"Miss Carla, Mr. Terence is working on a multi-million contract right now. He's going to meet up with the
main shareholders and discuss the next step. I hope you don't mind but can you leave him to finish his
work for the next two days?" Rainer carefully explained.
Only, Terence didn't ask him to say any of that. After this morning, Rainer was still apprehensive
towards Carla so he tried to create a distance between Carla and Terence.
"Oh no, not at all. Of course, I won't bother him. I have never seen him this concentrated at work. If this
is urgent, I'll leave him alone for sure." Carla didn't think much about Rainer's words. She liked it when
Terence focused on his work.
'Be a man, do the right thing. Being busy is good for him, ' she told herself and smiled at Rainer.
"Okay, I need to go now. Call me if you need anything." Rainer turned around and disappeared in the
corridor.
Carla closed the door and threw herself on the bed. She turned on the laptop, logged into her email
account and started to go through the regulations again.
Two hours had past and Carla was getting tired. She pushed the laptop to the side and started to
stretch her neck and back muscles. After staying still for almost two hours, it started to hurt. 'These
freaking regulations are killing me. Hm... Let's see if there's any game in his laptop, ' she grinned at the
laptop and pulled it towards her.
This laptop was Terence's backup. Carla was looking through the files and came across his photos. A
whole new world started to appear in front of Carla's eyes. Scrolling through the pictures, it was pretty
clear that Terence had traveled all around the world.
'Duh, he's a wealthy man who comes from a powerful family. Of course, he had traveled around the
world. Oh shit... No way! Isn't this the government hall of that country and their prime minister?' she
tried to remember the prime minister's name but failed. As she continued to look through his gallery,
more than one country's head leader started to appear.
Just when Carla was giggling and scrolling, her finger suddenly froze. She put her index finger on the
touching pad and scrolled up very slowly. The smile instantly disappeared on her face.
