Love is the Sunshine

Carla was fixing a pot plant with her sleeves rolled up to her elbows. She turned back and asked, "Who?"

"Miss Carla, Chief is Mr. Nicholas. Mr. Terence's grandfather. We all call him Chief," Sophie explained patiently.

"He's who— Oh, my gosh! What's he doing here?" Carla said in a panic, suddenly remembering who he was. She met him once briefly in BH City.

The old man came across as too aggressive and she found him very intimidating and hard to handle.

Now that Terence wasn't here she was left to deal with him on her own.

"Miss Carla, I believe the old master would have been aware that Mr. Terence wasn't here at the moment. It's obvious that he is coming to see you,"

Sophie analyzed. She had been working for Terence for a long time and so Sophie had a relatively good insight of what was going on.

Carla shuddered hearing her say that. She looked down at her soiled casual outfit and said, "Sophie, can you stay with him while I go clean myself up and change into something more appropriate?"

"Okay. Don't panic, Miss Carla. Chief looks forbidding, but in fact he is nice to young people," Sophie said trying to ease her fears.

"I see. Wait— How should I call him? Chief?" Carla was about to run off to get changed when she suddenly remembered to ask her. Sophie was older and more experienced at dealing with these sorts of things.

Since Carla and Terence were in a subtle relationship, properly addressing his grandfather would be extremely important.

"Well, Mr. Terence calls him Grandpa. Maybe you can call him the same too?"

'Terence loved Carla so much. It's most likely that they will marry. So once Carla was married to Terence, then it would only be natural for her to call him grandpa as well, ' thought Sophie.

"I don't think that's a good idea. He may think me too presumptuous," Carla said furrowing her brows.

Sophie chuckled and agreed. Carla's concerns sounded reasonable. "Miss Carla, the people outside of their family, like us call him, Chief. Younger people or people close to him call him Mr. Nicolas or Nicholas. You could call him Mr. Nicholas or just Nicolas. It wouldn't be offensive."

Carla nodded. She vaguely recalled that she may have called him Mr. Nicholas when she met him the first time. But she was so nervous now that she couldn't be for certain.
