Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 278 Gangnam Building

Terence stood there while he took off his boxing gloves and threw them on the floor. He lifted the rails

and exited the ring.

He took the water bottle the waiter handed to him and took a big gulp. He emptied the rest on his head

and splashed to his neck and chest to cool himself down.

He wiped his face and glanced at the two brothers in the ring. Terence threw the empty bottle in the Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

garbage, without removing his eyes on the two men, and shouted, "Well, are you leaving or not?"

That night, Carla took off her hospital gown and changed into her regular clothes. She used a wide

headband to cover the bandage on her head.

Noah arrived just then with Carla's coat in his hand. He wrapped the coat around Carla and carried her

off the bed to the car.

He sat with Carla in the backseat of the car.

They were in a luxurious and very spacious car so Carla had the space to put her feet up on the empty

seat in front of her. She adjusted herself to a comfortable position and took out her phone to play

games.

"Hey, watch out, your feet." Noah pointed to Carla's feet. He leaned over to the driver and instructed

him to drive carefully. Bad roads were coming up ahead.

They were driving up the mountain and it was going to be a long ride.

Carla had fallen asleep while playing with her phone and she enjoyed a good sleep even before they

arrived.

When she woke up, she found herself wrapped around Noah's arms.

"Have we arrived?" she asked.

Noah lifted her off her seat and out of the car.

When she got out of the car, Carla was greeted by a beautiful sight. The whole mountain was dotted

with flickering illuminations. She could hear the rhythmic babbling of the brook nearby. And an antique

cinereous structure stood tall on the mountain.

It was already night time but they could still see the entire view in front of them as if it were day time.

In front of the cinereous house, a plaque sat in the middle. It read "Gangnam Building."

Everything they could see in front of them matched the name.

Carla looked around the place and discovered lots of rare luxury cars in the parking spaces. This must

be a very expensive place.

Noah took her inside, with his arms wrapped around her shoulders. They took the elevator to the attic.

There were eight floors inside and every other floor housed different restaurants with different themes.

The first, third, fifth and seventh floors all had different restaurants. And the rest of the floors, guests

booked rooms should they decide to stay after their meals.

And on the eighth floor, it was always reserved for the most distinguished guests who wanted to enjoy

their dinner and an overnight stay as well.

Carla checked out everything inside. What a delicate place! And the different styles on each floor were

magnificent, she thought. Each floor seemed to represent a certain decade, from the 1950s to the

1960s style to the 1970s and 1980s.

The eighth floor, however, had the most modern style.

But it still kept a traditional look, which complemented the rest of the building. The dining room was

distinctive but had a great atmosphere.

Noah ushered Carla into one of the booths and she noticed it was more spacious and comfortable than

the others. There was even an ottoman in front of her so she can lift her leg.

"I've never been here so I don't know what to get. You decide for me." The menu confused Carla so

she didn't even look at it. She trusted Noah would know which dishes they would enjoy. He was a

regular so he knew what to eat.

Noah read through the menu and told Carla, "Their Western food here is the best in China so we need

to have some of that. Plus, the fish is a must-try. They raise the fish themselves."

Carla heard a lot of dishes being said by Noah. She didn't eat before they got there but that was still

more than enough for the two of them.

"Noah, it's okay. Don't order too much. We can have the other dishes when we come back here, can't

we?"

Noah returned the menu to the food server, who left immediately. Noah turned to her with a smile and

reassured her, "It's okay. There are a lot of dishes but I only ordered small portions of it."

Carla took a sip of the herbal tea that was served as soon as they sat down.

"Do you come here a lot?" Carla asked, as she read the booklet provided on the table about the

building with a detailed description of each floor.

"Not really. Maybe once or twice a year," Noah thought for a second before he answered Carla's

question. He may often come to HA City on business trips but he rarely had time to entertain himself on

those trips.

Noah and Carla were deep in conversation

when

a gorgeous woman passed by and stopped when she saw Noah. She gave him a big hug before he

could protest.

"Noah, I wondered why you left in such a hurry last night! Looks like you've got a new girlfriend!"

Noah had a frown on his face when he pushed the woman away. He tried to hide Carla from her and

answered, "Phyllis, what are you doing here?"

This was Phyllis. The woman he dated after Julie.

Phyllis sneaked a glance at Carla and intentionally pouted at Noah.

"Why? What's wrong? Are you such a large shareholder of Gangnam Building that I can't have dinner

here?" Phyllis sidled up to Noah and flung her arms around his neck.

"Phyllis, please let go," Noah said while he tried to unlock Phyllis' hold on him.

Normally, he would not refuse to have sex with a gorgeous woman throwing herself at him. But today

was not the perfect time.

And Phyllis' appearance was not proper either.

"Fine, I'm going to let go. But you're going to treat me to dinner tonight, right?" Phyllis deliberately slid

up to Noah. Her breasts rubbed against his arm on purpose.

Noah didn't even touch Phyllis last night, which made her frustrated. It was an honor to become Noah's

partner. Noah was very wealthy and such a catch, a man Phyllis was unwilling to let go.

"Alright, fine. Order whatever you want." Phyllis unlocked her arms and Noah exhaled a sigh of relief.

He turned to Carla, who had a frown on her face.

"Thank you, darling. Call me, okay?" Phyllis teased. She poked his chest with her finger and winked

before she left.

Noah had to pause and think about what he was going to tell Carla. If it had been Julie next to him, he

wouldn't need to explain.

But this was Carla. She was different.

"Carla," Noah called out. She wasn't happy.

Carla had her eyes straight ahead, away from Noah's. She hadn't realized Phyllis had left until Noah

called out her name. Without moving her head, she asked, "Do you have many girlfriends, Noah?"

Noah didn't know what to say.

"No, I haven't," he finally said.

Many women surrounded Noah all the time. But they were never his girlfriends. They were only there

for the sex. It was never a relationship. Noah and these women knew what they needed from each

other.

They meant nothing to him.

"Carla, I'm a man, a catch. And I have to sometimes find something to amuse me when the need

arises. And yes, I've dated a lot of women. But none of them are my girlfriends."

Carla didn't respond.

She remembered a memory, a man, and how this man said something very similar to her.

Was her memory coming back? But something was blocking it. Something prevented her from seeing

the whole truth.

"Carla?"

Noah called out her name but she was deep in thought.
