Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 230 Encountering Marcus (Part One)

Carla went out with extreme caution, deciding that she shouldn't be riding until way up late. With that in

mind, she stepped out as soon as she came upon a good hotel along the road which she could spend

the night over. It wouldn't be wise for a girl to go out in the wee hours of the morning. First and

foremost, she must ascertain her own well-being before moving forward, trying to find where Terence

might be.

At the break of dawn, Carla set out on her way once more.

Generally speaking, it should be much safer roaming around in the morning than when it was dark out.

A few dozen kilometers wouldn't really be considered such a great distance. So, just within a couple of

hours, she had already reached her destination, Marcus' territory.

However, as Nicholas had warned her, Marcus held the power in this whole place, so the security was

significantly tighter, making it much harder to get into. On what would seem to be like a border of some

sort was a checkpoint, and Marcus' property laid behind it.

If she had the intention to go further, there would be no other way to get past the area except through

this check point.

Carla didn't want to risk forcing her way into it. What she planned to do instead was to wait until night

fell.

All of a sudden, she saw someone she wasn't expecting to see there. A familiar face exited Marcus'

seemingly impenetrable fortress.

It was Johnny!

What on earth could he be doing here?

Johnny's car came back a bit later that night. She made out the figure of an alluring foreign girl sitting

right beside him as their car entered the black iron gate.

In case she unfortunately ended up getting caught, Carla decided to keep her backpack on a secret

hiding place. But before that, she took out a couple of imperceptible items which she could use when

the need arose.

She then patiently waited for an opportunity to sneak in.

She waited for quite some time, until eventually, a bus passed by, coming to a halt right in front of the

iron gate. A group of young ladies stepped out of the vehicle, chattering and smiling around. Soon

enough, a crowd of people had gathered in the area. Carla grabbed this chance to slip in from where

she was hiding and blend in with the girls.

As luck would have it, there were actually lots of foreigners in NF, so Carla managed to easily mingle

with the other girls. It was actually quite easy to understand. Marcus had been living here for such a

long time, and he owned a couple of companies in the area as well. For that reason, it wasn't surprising

to see that he had brought in lots of workers as well as girls from his own country.

Carla wore a disguise, something which the locals in the area would probably wear. A simple plaid coat

was casually tied around her waist, and she wore a pair of short pants along with a tight white T-shirt.

Walking around with the girls, she playfully twirled her hair, making her look so adorable.

Then, under the oblivious guards' watchful eyes, she had successfully passed through the iron gate.

At that moment, it was quite possible that even someone who was supposed to be quite familiar with

Carla might have a hard time recognizing her. She seemed like such a wild but enticing enchantress,

sizzling and simply so alluring.

Behind those sunglasses, her glare was bitterly cold and filled with so much resentment. Just the

thought of Marcus along with all of the things he had done to Terence made her loathe this place much,

much more.

Visitors would all have to allow the guards to body-search them as they entered. But this particular

bunch of women was an exception, so they were a bit more lenient when it came to them. The guards

only gave them a general inspection.

Carla was able to luckily let out a sigh of relief.

Her sole purpose for coming here was to get some information from Marcus. She knew she couldn't

afford to waste her time roaming around aimlessly in the jungle. For that reason, she must figure out

what was really happening. And between her and Marcus, she wanted to be the one to make the first

move.

The crowd of people surged into the building and walked inside simultaneously. From the looks of it,

they seemed to be quite used to this place.

She had no choice but to follow them around for now, otherwise she would risk herself getting exposed.

If she so much as walked away on her own, separately from the group, they would most certainly

notice her in an instant. That move would be much too hasty and fraught with danger.

To make matters even worse, she wouldn't be capable of shaking them off if the guard really ended up

catching her. And at the thought of that, she knew full well that she had to be exceedingly mindful of her

actions.

Tagging along with the merry bunch as they headed upstairs up until they walked into a room, Carla

waited for a while. When she was sure nobody noticed her, she quickly turned left, planning to sneak

away.

Of course, she wouldn't go so far as to work as a call girl and fool around with those men waiting

inside. If she came in with them, she would only be exposing herself much sooner.

"Hey, you! Where do you think you're going?"

Just as Carla was about to get to the next turn, someone spotted her and unexpectedly called out to

her.

It wouldn't work if she simply pretended not to hear him, so she promptly turned back.

"Excuse me, could you please tell me where the toilet is?" Good thing Carla was quick on her feet and

asked quickly, it was as though she had really been trying to find a restroom.

The guard warily checked her out from head to toe. Then, he motioned over to the room where the girls

had walked into and told her, "You can use the toilets inside that room. Might you be a new girl? Is this

your first time coming here?" Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Carla bobbed her head trying to appear as calm as she could. And in the end, she couldn't help but

play along and head over to the room as well.

Paying close attention to her, the guard didn't leave her side and kept watching her until she had gotten

inside the room and carefully closed the door.

The second Carla walked into the room, she immediately heard a tumult of flirting and soft chuckling.

This made her feel so awkward that she couldn't help but furrow her eyebrows, but she knew she

shouldn't be doing it at any cost. So, she tried the best she could to make herself regain composure.
