Chapter 96 A Tour In The Ghost House
Chapter 96 A Tour In The Ghost House
Carla couldn't resist rolling her eyes. Despite being a kid Sean kept quiet in the queue and never
complained, but Sherry couldn't stand it.
But she let it go anyway. She asked Sherry to come with them in the first place. Now Carla felt obliged
to had to pay adequate courtesy to a princess wearing high heels to play in an amusement park.
Luckily, Noah gave her his phone number yesterday.
"Hello, Mr. Noah. This is Carla. We have arrived at the amusement park. Right now we are waiting in a
queue at the entrance to get in." Carla didn't mention the intention of her call directly, but her words did
render a hint.
Noah was a very smart person. Of course he figured out what she was trying to imply.
"Why didn't you call me earlier? You and your friends can wait for me at the VIP passageway. I will be
there as soon as I can," said Noah via the phone.
After hanging up, Carla accompanied Sean and Princess Sherry to the VIP passageway.
Sherry took a long breath of relief after having got out of the endless line. She pulled her dress
straightening it up and took out the face powder to fix her makeup which required some amelioration. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Carla!"
Noah walked over in front of them. "Next time you come in here, call me in advance and you won't
have to wait for so long under the sun."
As he said that, he handed over some drinks and gave them to Sean, Carla and Sherry.
"Thank you," said Carla as she accepted the icy drink. She pulled Sean over to her side and
introduced, "Sean, this is Mr. Noah, a friend of Sherry and I. Our tickets for this time have been given
by Mr. Noah."
Sean blinked instantly and smiled at Noah. "Thank you, Mr. Noah."
Noah chuckled as he praised him for being smart, and then said, "Sean, if you could see me as your
big brother and just call me Noah, I'd be happier."
Sean turned a deaf ear to him and just twisted off the cap of the bottle and started to drink.
Of course he wouldn't call him Brother.
In his heart, he had only one brother. That was Terence. He was irreplaceable for him.
If any other person want to be treated as a big brother by him, they had to at least make sure if he was
in a good mood.
"Mr. Noah, how are you? You have been ignoring me so far." Sherry's eyes had never left Noah since
he appeared, but he hadn't said a word to her voluntarily so far.
Noah turned to her and gave out a gentle smile after hearing her words. He reached out his hand and
said, "Hello, Miss Sherry. I apologize for my rudeness. You look gorgeous today! You won't be mad at
me, will you?"
Sherry gave him a shy smile and shook his hand, and then said affectionately, "Okay, I won't be mad at
you since you seem to be sincere with your apology."
After shaking Noah's hand gently, she held his arm and walked by his side throughout the footpath.
Carla and Sean walked along by the side of the couple keeping a safe distance.
The team led by the big boss Noah walked around the amusement park unimpeded. Sean was so
excited since he wouldn't miss any games that he wanted to play.
A tourist car had been called to ferry them around the park. The formality of having to wait standing in
long queues had also been avoided. They had all their enthusiasm persistent in them for a long day of
fun and frolic.
Sherry didn't play much. The reason was simple. Playing wildly might ruin her public image and she
wasn't willing to do that. She couldn't afford to risk it.
But she realized that it would seem ridiculous if she didn't play at all. After all, people went to
amusement park to play and have some fun.
So she suggested going to the ghost house. Even though she was afraid, she assumed it would be
surely better than sitting on those wildly whirling machines throwing herself one way or the other.
"Wow! Great! I want to go to the ghost house too!"
Sean's eyes lit up instantly when he heard her mentioning the ghost house. He was faintly frightened
but his excitement and curiosity had no limits. He was willing to risk it for once.
"Mr. Noah, if you are busy, you don't have to accompany us." Carla felt uncomfortable that Noah had to
spend all this time with them.
It had already gotten a bit late.
And he had already treated them to lunch.
They had played throughout this while and now the orange sun in the sky indicating an incoming dusk.
"It's okay. I too have had some fun today. I haven't played this hard in a long time. Don't worry. Let's go
together." Noah's smile was genial and warm. She couldn't feel any more gratitude and respect for him.
After they got into the ghost house, all that Sherry did was to scream at the top of her lungs and throw
herself into Noah's arms in search of serenity.
In the darkness, Noah wasn't as warm and kind as he was outside. He gave an icy glance at Sherry
who kept trying to rush to his arms and said, "Sherry, if you are so scared, why don't you go out
through that exit and wait for us outside?"
"No, I don't want to go outside. Isn't this place meant to get us scared? It is supposed to be fun,"
Sherry replied, peering through the seam of her fingers with one of her eyes, but shrank and got back
into Noah's arms again when she saw a woman ghost with bleeding eyes right over there.
Carla and Sean were left behind.
Sean had been shrieking, bouncing and laughing in inexplicable joy. Carla had to take care of her
brother and hence, she was distracted. Even when she caught sight of a few scary scenes, she didn't
scream either. She kept her calmness for the sake of her brother.
She was quite bold actually. Except in the case of a few dangerous animals, she always managed to
adapt herself to all kinds of hostile situations.
The exit was not far ahead.
Carla felt much relieved. The ghost house was quite long. Moreover, it was pitch dark in there. She was
a little scared as she walked.
"Sean, slow down..."
Sean probably figured out that the exit was coming up soon ahead as he got rid of Carla's grip and ran
forward.
Carla failed to catch him and she suddenly tripped over something as she descended painfully to the
floor. When she looked down, her heart skipped a beat or two. She was grief-stricken and terrified to
see two ghostly eyes staring at her.
It was a very vivid human head.
The eye sockets were hollow and one piece of muscle from the still bleeding mouth was missing; the
ghastly teeth were exposed and the scarlet tongue was hanging outside the teeth.
She was under the impression that the exit was near but suddenly something as horrible as this had to
appear before her. She was caught off guard. She was already taken aback when her foot accidentally
kicked that thing, and now she slipped and almost threw herself onto that thing! She almost saw that
head budge an inch!
Within a fraction of a second, Noah suddenly threw away Sherry who was clinging on to him annoyingly
and rushed to catch Carla by her waist before she hit the ground. He kicked the fake human head away
simaltaneously getting rid of the horrid sight.
"Don't be afraid. It is fake. Made of silicon." Noah held her by her waist and helped her get back on her
feet. His calm and soothing tone reassured her.
Carla was terrified to her bones. She grabbed Noah's hand instinctively and panted with her mouth
gaping wide open.
Noah knew she was terrified and he patted her on her back softly in an attempt to console her and help
her regain confidence in herself.
It was the first time he was so close to her and a light scent like that of an orchid flower reached his
nose. Her hair accidentally brush by his chin and made him itchy. He remained silent for while.
Noah sensed the scent of a virgin. This was something Sherry lacked. Despite being intermingled with
strong scent of perfume, he could tell the difference.
Besides, Carla never got used to being touched by men. She felt uneasy even with slightest physical
contact with a man, which proved his assumption.
That could also act as an extended proof to the assumption that nothing had happened so far between
her and Terence.
With all these thoughts running wildly in his mind, Noah curved his lips upward slightly and the crude
desire for his prey grew stronger inside him.
"It is okay now. Thank you."
Carla regained her calmness and got out of his arms hastily and stepped away to maintain a safe
distance from him.
Having been pushed away by Noah just a while ago, Sherry was both furious and envious. She walked
over, stared at Carla and said with a sense of disappointment, "Carla, you didn't fake it, did you? You
hadn't shown a single sign of fear all the way from the entrance to here, and now you want us to
believe that you're suddenly frightened to the core?"
