When they arrive at the Robert’s, Robert's parents are stunned when they see Troy. Karin stands
behind and says to Billie, "Look! This guy doesn't come to his subordinates’ home at all. I persuade him
to come over. Robert's parents are so surprised.”
Billie nods in agreement, "You are right."
"Mr. Troy, why are you here?"
Rex Gray, Robert’s father, makes a gesture of please, and Robert’s mother Ela is busy preparing tea.
"Let me take a look at Robert, are his feet better?"
"It's much better. The doctor you arranged come to give him fluids for a few days. His foot has gone
down."
Rex handed tea to Troy respectfully, "Thank you for your concern."
"Uncle Rex, you are welcome. You have been loyal to my father all his life, and Robert is the same. For
this, I should treat you like family members."
Karin pushed Troy. He knows what she means, "This is my girlfriend, Karin, this is her classmate."
"Hello!"
Billie is the first to greet them. Seeing her well-behaved and sensible appearance, Karin almost laughs.
"Billie and I will go up to see Robert first. You can drink tea before you come up."
Before Troy can answer, she runs upstairs with Billie.
Robert is lying on the bed and reading a magazine. The door of the room is opened. When he sees the
comers, he moves in surprise, "Ms. Karin, Ms. Billie, why are you here?"
"We come to see you. I heard Troy say that you hurt your foot. Is it better now?"
Karin asks with concern.
"Thank you. I feel much better. Please sit down."
Billie doesn't sit down immediately. She walks to the end of the bed, opens the quilt, stares at his red
and swollen foot and says, "It seems to be quite serious. Let me rub for you."
"No, thanks."
Robert waves his hand hurriedly. Obviously, he is shocked by her behavior.
"Well, I'll go to the bathroom."
Karin walks out, leaving Billie to stay with him alone. When she turns around, she gives ger an
encouraged look.
The door is closed. Billie holds Robert's injured foot regardless of his willingness. When she presses
his foot with her his finger, he screams in pain.
"Hold it up, it will hurt a little now, but it won't hurt tomorrow."
"Miss Billie. Thanks for your kindness. But it is really inappropriate."
Robert flushes with embarrassment. It is embarrassing if his parents go upstairs to see this.
"Why?"
Billie raises her head suddenly, "We are friends. What's wrong with me rubbing your feet?"
"But…"
He wants to speak but stops, not knowing how to express his thoughts.
"What are you worried about?"
Billie leans forward and sits down, looking straight into his eyes and asks.
"It is kind of intimate."
Facing with her straightforward character, Robert has no choice but to be straightforward.
Karin has been standing outside the door to keep watch. She can’t enter the room or go downstairs,
just like a good comrade serving the people.
After Troy has a few conversations with Rex, he also goes upstairs. Karin greets him hurriedly when
she sees him, "Do you finish the tea?"
"Why are you standing outside?" He frowns suspiciously.
"Oh, I wanted to find the bathroom, but I didn't find it."
"The toilet is inside, what are you looking for outside?"
Troy glares at her angrily, ready to push the door.
"Well, wait a minute--"
"Why?"
"I'm too embarrassed to pee in a man's room..." she begs, "Will you accompany me downstairs?"
"It's you who want to go to the bathroom. Do you want me to accompany you?"
He feels a little weird.
"I'm not unfamiliar with here. Let's go."
She pulls Troy's arm downstairs and goes into the bathroom. She slows her movements deliberately
until the person outside knocks on the door, "Are you OK?"
"Well, yes."
In Robert's room upstairs, the atmosphere becomes embarrassing.
Billie twists her fingers. Finally, she looks at the man in front of him and says, "Do you think I am very
unscrupulous?"
Robert is startled and shakes his head, "No, I know you are straightforward."
"You don't know." She raises her chin stubbornly, "I am frank, but not frank to every man, I..."
She pauses and takes a deep breath, "I like you!"
Robert is shocked. Before he realizes what is going on, Billie has leaned over and kisses him heavily.
The door is pushed open with a creak. Troy and Karin walk in. Billie stands aside with her head
hanging low.
"How do you feel?"
Troy asks Robert.
"Much... much better."
"Why is your face so red?"
Robert swallows, "It is a little stuffy in the room."
Karin glances at Robert secretly. His face is indeed a little weird. Then Karin looks at Billie, who is
bowing her head. Karin wondered what these two people did...
After talking about business affairs, Troy gets up, "It's getting late, let's go back."
Karin tells Robert, "Have a good rest." Karin thinks Billie would say something, but sees her go out
silently.
Troy drives back to the Ziteng Garden. Karin holds her phone and keeps texting Billie, asking about the
progress tonight.
"Does Billie like Robert?"
Troy asks suddenly, which makes her stunned, "How do you know?"
"I'm neither a fool nor a blind man. You give them a chance to stay together deliberately. Do you think I
can't tell?"
Karin smiles, "So, you are so smart..."
"It's not that I'm smart. Everyone can see it easily. What’s more I'm a person who has experienced."
"Oh, experienced? With whom?"
He raises his eyebrows, "What do you think?"
He folds his smile and frowns, "I have to tell you something."
"What?"
"It is impossible for Billie to be with Robert because he already has a marriage contract."
"Is there a marriage contract?" Karin can't accept it, and says angrily, "Why do you all have a marriage
contract?"
"Don't be so excited, I won't tell you if you are excited."
She calms down, "Okay, you say."
"Robert's fiancée is the daughter of my Uncle Emmanuel, Gigi Charlie."
"Your Uncle Emmanuel?"
Karin feels that she is about to collapse. How could Robert have a marriage relationship with the
Charles family? Isn't it enough that his heart belongs to the Charles family? Does he even belong to
them?
"Yes, so the relationship is quite complicated. You'd better persuade your friend to give up as soon as
possible to avoid suffering in the future."
Troy's words make Karin quite unhappy. She says angrily, "Why should I persuade her? Even if
Robert's marriage is complicated, can it be more complicated than yours? Didn’t You break the
marriage contract for me? As you can, why can't he? Besides, there were many people who persuaded
me to give up, if I gave up easily, would we be together today?"
Her question makes him unable to answer.
Different people have the different feelings for the same things. He can do anything for Karin, but
Robert may have different decisions.
"There is a ball tomorrow, will you come with me?"
"No."
Karin has never liked to participate in any business entertainment. First, she has not yet officially
worked. Secondly, she doesn't like the look from the people who think they are superior.
"But the master asks you to go by name?"
"Who?"
"My Uncle Emmanuel."
... Uncle Emmanuel?
Karin rolls her eyes around. Emmanuel's daughter is Gigi, Robert's fiancée?
"Well, since it is Uncle Emmanuel 's invitation, I should not refuse it."
Karin changes her mind immediately. However, she is actually directed at Gigi.
At four o'clock in the afternoon the next day, Troy picks her up from school. They go to a styling shop
first. After dressing Karin beautifully, they drive to the dance party.
