Charles, of course, knew whom the person Paul was referring to because Paul had worked for him for so many years.
But Bun had already gotten married to Brian, and they loved each other very much. There was no chance for Paul to be able to get together with Bun. Moreover, a righteous man such as Paul would, by no means, do anything to destroy another couple's happy marriage.
"Since that person would never belong to you anymore, then why not give up on her and start a new life for yourself?" Charles persuaded Paul.
"Young Master, you know that I've loved her for so many years. I've always regretted that I never had the courage to confess my love to her back then. I thought that she would belong to me forever, " said Paul in a gloom.
"Don't dwell on the past. I thought that you had let go of your love to her. Why are you still dwelling on it? You should move on."
Some time before, Charles had seen that Paul was able to converse with Bun normally, so he thought that Paul had already given up his love on Bun. But it seemed that Paul still loved Bun very much.
"How could I forget about my love to her easily? Young Master, please don't tell Bun about it. I don't want to bother her with it. Since she's already married to Master Brian, I could only wish them well from the bottom of my heart. I hope they will be happy forever, " said Paul.
Charles nodded in agreement. But he somehow felt pity toward Paul. Although Paul was his employee, he had treated Paul as his good friend, or even his bother. He really hoped that Paul could find his own happiness soon.
It was a pity. Before Bun had met Brian, Paul wasn't decisive enough, so he had missed his chance to get together with Bun.
If Paul had confessed his love to Bun without any hesitation, Brian might not have had the chance to get in between them. If that were the case, Brian would've remained the playboy that he used to be and would still have many women around him. If that were the case, Paul would probably be happy now.
However, it had been an established fact that Brian and Bun were a couple now. It was pointless to regret anything. Charles could see that Brian indeed was passionately in love with Bun. Brian was willing to live together with Bun for the rest of his life.
"Young Master, please go to Lady Linda now. Don't keep her waiting for so long, " Paul urged as he lowered his head to carry on dealing with the papers. The contract they were working on was very important, so Paul had to be careful about the details in order for them to gain the biggest profits from the cooperation.
"Okay, then, I should get going now. Don't work too late. Go home early, " said Charles.
He put on his blazer and stood up. Before he walked out of the office door, he went to the wardrobe and took out a coat that Linda had left there last time. It was cooler at night, so Charles was afraid that Linda would feel cold.
Then, Charles got in the elevator and went down to the parking lot.
After he had gotten in his car and fastened the seatbelt, Charles took out his phone from his pocket and opened his contacts. His most recent contact was under the name "Silly Woman".
He was about to dial her number as he wanted to tell Linda that he was on his way. But after a second thought, he decided not to and turned off the phone. He assumed that Linda was playing Go chess with Lord Nalan, so he'd better not interrupt them now.
Anyway, he would be able to see Linda in the Nalan clan's house soon.
Half an hour later, Charles's car stopped before the big gate of the Nalan clan's house. But he was stopped from driving into it by a security guard at the gate.
What was going on? Why was he not allowed to go in? Charles furrowed his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you stopping me? Don't you know who I am?"
The security guard felt very embarrassed. How could it be possible that he didn't know Charles? He recognized Charles every time he came to the Nalan clan's house.
But this time, Lady Rosy had told him that nobody was allowed to enter or leave the Nalan clan's house at the moment.
The security guard knew that something serious had happened inside the house earlier, and Lady Linda had been taken to the police station.
"Young Master Mu, I'm sorry. But you can't go in now. Lady Rosy said that the Nalan clan won't receive any guest in the house today, " the security guard politely told Charles.
