"Yeah, I'm done." Carla's gaze soften when she looked at Zayn. "Let's go for a drive."
"Sure." Zayn picked up the car keys on the table, wrapped his arms around Carla's shoulder, and walked towards the back door.
Freda and Rogan, together with all the other six female bodyguards, followed behind.
Zayn waved his hands and said, "Don't follow us. Go have some fun."
"But…"
When Freda was about to speak, Carla cut in and ordered, "Do as he said."
"Alright." Freda and the others stopped in their tracks.
"Where would you like to go tonight?"
Zayn enjoyed such a night. He could even give up his sleep if he could spend time with her like this.
"The beach…" When Carla was speaking, a sexy girl in a bunny costume was heading towards her. The girl's eyes widened in shock upon seeing Carla. "Carla?"
Carla stopped in her tracks and looked at her in confusion. "Do you know me?"
"How could I not know you?" The sexy bunny girl grabbed Carla's hand and exclaimed, "I'm Kristi. Kristi Duffy. Do you not remember me?"
Carla furrowed her brows in confusion.
Meanwhile, Zayn narrowed his eyes and scrutinized this girl meticulously. Judging by her outfit, she should be a hostess from Stifling Night. I think Carla used to be a hostess in Stifling Night as well. Is she her ex-colleague?
"Did you really forget who I am? Aww, that's too bad. Carla, we used to be colleagues." Kristi was saddened. "I even pretended to be you and helped you lied to your boyfriend."
"Boyfriend?" Carla was even more confused.
"It's the… Uh…" Before Kristi could finish her words, someone stepped on her foot. Her eyes welled up from the pain that instant. "Who stepped on my foot?"
Just then, a group of girls dressed in cat costumes came in in a swamp from the back and shoved Kristi away…
"Let's go."
Zayn took the chance and brought Carla away. It was a close call as Kristi almost let everything out.
However, Zayn had recalled everything. Carla used to sell liquor here. When he heard about that, he became furious and came all the way there. Then she found a girl with a mask to cover her, and that girl was Kristi.
Thus, Kristi knew Carla's boyfriend was Zayn.
If she had a slip of the tongue, it would have been troublesome.
But luckily, she didn't know about the existence of that gigolo, or everything would be exposed right then and there.
"Carla, Carla, don't go…" Kristi turned her head and called out for Carla. "Even if you don't remember me, you should at least remember Diane, right? She had been looking for you…"
After hearing what she said, Carla froze in her tracks and turned around…
Unfortunately, Kristi was forced back into the club by the rest of the girls.
Carla frowned and thought long about Diane. The woman's name felt so familiar as if she was her long-lost close friend…
Before they knew it, they had left Stifling Night and boarded the car.
Even so, Carla was still lost in her thoughts.
"What's the matter?" Zayn buckled her seatbelt for her.
"You said that we used to be together, yes?" Carla pondered. "Do you know that Kristi girl?"
"Nope." Zayn adjusted the seat for her as well.
"Then what about Diane?" Carla's brows drew together.
"Nope." Zayn tousled her hair. "What happened to you? You couldn't remember anything?"
"I've lost part of my memories…" Carla mumbled to herself. "I knew that there were blanks here and there, but I can't remember anything at all. Ever since I came back, I visited some familiar places, and bits and pieces of my memories would come back occasionally…"
"What do you remember?" Zayn cupped her face in his hands tenderly.
"I remember you." Carla raised her head and looked at him. "My memories about you are the clearest!"
"Are they good memories?" Zayn caressed her lips with his thumb gently.
"Yes." Carla nodded. "Tenderness, warmth, and happiness – they were all good feelings…"
