Just when Carla stormed off, she saw Zayn carrying Nella into the elevator.
The moment the elevator door was about to close, he suddenly looked in her direction.
At that moment, both of them made eye contact. One had an icy gaze while the other was filled with conflict.
Carla wondered if he had recognized her.
If he didn't, why would he look at me? No, wait. Perhaps, I attracted his attention after kicking someone into the water. That's understandable after all. If he really recognized me and yet, took Nella away while I was being harassed, that would really have been too much.
At that moment, Carla was in so much turmoil that she clenched both her fists.
"You d_mn woman!" Jared had climbed out of the pool. He bellowed, "How dare you kick me! I'm going to kill you!"
Just as he spoke, Jared attacked Carla from behind.
With a darkening gaze, Carla turned around with a whirlwind kick and sent the man hurtling into the pool again.
Splash! Water ripples were everywhere.
At that moment, everyone was stunned. They had assumed Jared fell into the pool earlier by accident after fooling around with Carla. But now, they had witnessed Carla's ferocity.
Her eyes were filled with murderous rage.
With no time to lose, Carla quickly left. Watching the elevator's levels, she saw that Zayn had taken Nella to the forty-eight floor.
He really can't wait, can he?
Filled with rage, Carla hurried to the elevator.
"Stop her!"
By then, Theo had grown suspicious of Carla as she still had her mask on when all the other girls had removed theirs. It was obvious that she didn't want to be recognized.
If anyone with malicious intentions had infiltrated the event, it would have been terrible.
After all, everyone present was a VIP and no harm should ever come to them.
When a few bodyguards went up to stop Carla, Freda, who was dressed as a waitress, stood in their way. She told Carla, "Ms. Lierger, go on ahead. I got this."
Just when the bodyguards wanted to stop Carla from entering the elevator, Freda unleashed a kick and sent all of them flying.
From that moment, the scene turned into utter chaos.
The ladies screamed in fear while the men called for their bodyguards.
All of them were fearful for their own lives.
Meanwhile, Theo ordered a large group of bodyguards to take on Freda and capture Carla at the same time.
However, the elevator door had closed and Carla was heading directly to the forty-eight floor.
"D_mn it! The two assassins are heading in Mr. Giblo's direction." Theo was seized by panic. "Quick, send more men to capture the two women."
"Yes."
When Carla heard those words in the elevator, she couldn't help but knit her eyebrows.
This is all Jared's fault. I was about to slip away and follow Zayn when he suddenly got in my way and caused the situation to escalate. Luckily, they didn't know who I was. Nevertheless, I have to find Zayn now and negotiate with him. But, he is with Nella now. Have they…
With that thought in mind, Carla was filled with exasperation.
In the meantime, Zayn had carried Nella out of the elevator and arrived in his room.
The moment he entered, he saw a bottle of wine on the table with a big bouquet of roses by its side.
As for the carpet and the bed, they were all covered in rose petals.
Theo was the one behind the surprise.
Nella could feel her cheeks heating up. Biting her lip, she snuggled up in Zayn's arms, not daring to move a muscle.
Zayn placed her down on the sofa and remarked in a deep voice, "You should go and wash up."
"Okay, " Nella acknowledged softly before heading to the bathroom.
Sitting on the sofa, Zayn had a glass of wine in silence.
"Ahem!" At that moment, Benard knocked and entered. When he didn't see Nella in the room, he reported at once, "A fight has broken out downstairs."
Zayn continued sipping his wine without responding. It was as if it had nothing to do with him at all.
