"Don't you feel sorry?"
"Never."
She studies for Troy, but now she has no reason to get the diploma.
Billie can't persuade her but to accept the fact that she's leaving. Before Karin leaves, Billie holds her
hands and says, "I'll meet you in Edinburgh if Robert and I are not together."
Karin goes back to Ziteng Garden and let Yuma leave the mountain to do some chores for her. Then
William drives here to pick her up. After putting her stuff in the trunk, she glances around the place
filled with memory and leaves with William.
On the way to the airport, she keeps silent, and William breaks the silence first. "You don't feel sorry?"
"What for?"
"Not seeing him for the last time."
She sadly cocks her head to one side and answers in a while, "No."
"You really mean it this time, don't you? He sighs, "Women can be so heartless."
"Because I've had a heart, which is tortured and broken, and that's why I get heartless."
When they reach the airport, she gets off the car and puts on her black sunglasses, as well as her
purple hat with scallops, which is big enough to cover her half face. Nobody but people familiar with her
can recognize her.
Billie is lost in her thoughts for the whole morning. Upset and annoyed, she is absent from an important
class. It's Karin's leaving that is on her mind.
Will Robert blame her if she doesn't inform of Troy?
A bystander as she is, she knows that Troy loves Karin very much…
But if she tells Troy this secret, Karin may never forgive her…
She's left in a dilemma.
Struggling on the inside, she makes up her mind at the nick of time. Rushing out of the campus, she
stops a taxi and says, "Charlie Group, please."
"Karin, Karin, I'm so sorry…"
She murmurs to herself in the taxi, hoping she can make it in time.
As long as she gets to her destination, she runs all the way to Troy's office. However, after pushing the
door open, she finds nobody there.
Running to Robert's office, she finds nobody there, either.
When she gets worried, she notices a female secretary passing by, and she quickly grabs her by her
arm, asking hastily, "Excuse me, where's Mr. Troy?"
"He's at a meeting."
With a smile, the secretary points at the door of the meeting room.
"Okay, thanks."
Then Billie dashes off to the meeting room, debating if she should knock at the door. Glimpsing at her
watch, she hastily pushes the door open, and all the senior executives shifts their eyes on her.
She swallows and then says out of breath, "Mr. Troy, can I talk to you for a moment?"
Robert instantly rises from his chair and reprimands her in a low voice, "We're at a meeting. Wait until
it's over."
"Then it'll be too late. Just a moment, please."
Billie wants to rush into the room, but Robert stops her. "Stop it! Wait in my office."
"Karin runs away with William!"
She has no choice but to scream out loud.
"What?"
Troy and Robert both exclaim.
At the airport, Karin and William have checked in.
"How long will it be for us to take the security check?"
"Ten minutes."
He answers gently and reminds, "It's not too late to change your mind."
Pretending to hear nothing, she flips her power-off phone.
"Are you Miss Karin?"
Several men in black suits suddenly gather around her and glance over her.
She's scared and hastily shakes her head. "No."
One of those men holds a photo to compare her look to that in the photo, and then he firmly says to the
others, "It's her."
"Please come with us."
"Why would I do that?"
"You'll get it if you come with us."
William covers her. "How dare you to kidnap her?"
Secretly, a gun is against William's belly as the man in black suit says in a deep voice, "Stay out of this,
or you'll get shot."
Karin stands so close to them that she sees everything clearly. With a heavy sigh, she sputters, "Let go
of him, and I'll leave with you."
"Karin!"
"It's okay, William. They won't hurt me."
She bends down to pick up her luggage and says sadly, "Thank you anyway."
Then she marches out of the hall, with several men in black suits following her.
After getting on their car, she's taken to a high-end VIP club.
Stepping into a suite, she notices furious Troy sitting in a red sofa.
To be honest, Karin isn't surprised as she knows the men in black suits were Troy's hitmen.
How does he know about her leaving? She has thought about it in the car. First, Billie sold her out;
second, Yuma returned home and found her missing.
There are only Troy and her in the suite. After closing the door, he walks up to her and says through
gritted teeth, "You're running away with William? With William!"
God knows how much he wants to kill William.
"None of your Business."
"Karin, do you know what you're doing? You're my woman. How can you say it's none of my business?"
"Really? What do you mean by ‘your woman'? Your whore? Or the woman you want to marry?"
"You're taking your revenge on me, aren't you?"
Troy grabs her shoulders.
"Revenge?" She sneers, "If you don't let go of me, god will punish you for breaking a perfectly good
heart. And here we go."
"What else do you want?"
"It depends on your behavior. When I was about to leave here, I thought about it. If I leave here, I'll
never get back to Zurich again. If I have to stay, I won't wait for your call, that is, if you marry Mia, I'll
start a new relationship with someone else."
"With William?"
"What? I can't? But he's handsome, thoughtful and gentle. Above all, he's very loyal, and…"
"Enough!"
Troy angrily cut her out. "Don't you ever praise other men in my face!"
"But William is better than you. You're jealous, aren't you? Then why do you torture me? Don't you
know he can actually treat me well?"
"Karin!"
He's pissed off. "I dare you to bring his name up again."
"I swear I will." She holds her head high. "William. William. William…"
"You…"
He's exasperated and drops her in the sofa, overlooking her and growling, "Stop it!"
"No!"
"Stop it!"
"William!"
Hmm…
He kisses her to stop her from speaking William's name.
She pushes him away and screams out loud, "I will officially date him. From today on, I'm not the
weeping dumb dora anymore. You want me to live in your shadow, but I choose to take the control of
my life."
Then she runs out of the club and stops a taxi for William's apartment.
William just comes came from the airport. He hears the doorbell ring and opens the door, looking at her
in surprise.
"Aren't you…?"
"Please let me in."
"Okay."
As soon as she gets in, she apologizes, "Sorry, those men are Troy's."
"Never mind. I knew it."
He notices she wants to say something and asks, "Anything to say?"
