Troy doesn’t tell Robert what his plans are, he only tells him to book a flight as soon as possible and returns to Charlie Mansion in the evening. Before he walks into the house, he smells the aroma of dishes, only it doesn’t smell as good as he likes in his heart.
"Mr. Troy is back."
Mary comes forward to take his coat and says delightedly, "Miss Lee is also here and is cooking for you in the kitchen."
"Oh."
He nods, but he is not surprised, because although Molly has found her father five years ago, she has visited here often in the past few years, so he is used to it.
He walks straight to the kitchen and stares at her back, thinking five years ago he would always think of Karin when he saw Molly, and at this moment, watching her preparing the dishes, he thinks of that woman once again.
"Are you hungry?"
Molly unintentionally turns back, looking at Troy who seems distracted, reveals a big bright smile in her face.
"Why did you come without any notice?"
"When did I ever come and notice you in advance?" She raises her eyebrows in triumph, "Could it be that Troy is hiding a woman at your home and I have to get your permission when I come to your home in the future?"
Troy laughs lightly, "That's not true, it's just that I often don't come back for dinner and I'm afraid I'll waste your time in cooking the foods."
"Do you think I will do something that I am not sure of? I've already confirmed your schedule with Robert."
Molly spats her tongue mischievously and points outside, "Take a break in the living room, there's a lot of cooking smell here."
"Okay."
Troy walks out and sits on the sofa in the living room, closes his eyes and falls into a false sleep, he didn't sleep well last night and soon falls into a half sleep, he dreams of Karin, she is walking towards him and is about to grab his hand when he hears a loud sound, she falls down slowly in front of him, behind her two men with sinister faces are standing there, laughing evilly.
"Karin... "
He wakes up suddenly, his heart is beating fast that is about to jump out of his throat. It turns out that is is a dream, but his is so uneasy. He then takes out his cell phone in a panic, and is about to call her to confirm her safety when Molly’s voice comes from behind him, "Having a nightmare?"
He is stunned, he puts the phone back on the table and nods with a sigh.
"Is everything okay?"
Molly goes around to sit in front of him, takes out a soft handkerchief from her pocket, and is about to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead when he reaches out and stops her, "I am okay, is the dinner ready?"
"Yes."
"Then let's eat, I'm hungry."
He gets up first, and Molly follows him over, the two sit down at the table face to face, Troy doesn’t say a word. It is obvious that he has something hiding in his mind.
"Aren't you hungry? Why do you look so absent-minded."
Molly puts a piece of ribs into his bowl, "How does it taste? I learn it newly from the old nanny at home, my dad hasn't even been lucky enough to taste it yet."
"Yes, it is good."
Troy pretends to taste it, although he is sitting here, but his heart already goes somewhere.
"I hears that you are going to Edinburgh again?"
Molly puts down the chopsticks in her hand, having lost her appetite because of the absent-minded man in front of her.
"Yes."
"Why? Your company is in such a mess, it's not a good time to leave, do you know?"
"Yes."
"Then why do you still want to leave?"
"I have my reason to leave."
"Because of that woman?"
Molly asks excitedly, her eyes revealing an indefinable complexity.
How could it be him? How could the legal representative of Hankseuk be Emmanuel Charlie? Karin's brain is about to explode and her whole body freezes there.
She doesn’t come to her sense for a long time, and only when hearing footsteps coming from outside the door does she finally come back from her confusion and bewilderment, she puts the documents in her hands back in place, and picks up her own documents, and leaves the office quietly.
When she returns to her office, she still could not come out of her shock and begins to wonder deeply, what is William's relationship with Emmanuel Charlie? Hankseuk Group is obviously William's family business, why would the legal representative be Emmanuel Charlie?
A family business... thinking of it, she realizes that after five years of working here, she has never seen William's parents, and this discovery makes her even more confused and distressed...
She really does not want to live in the world that is full of deception all the times.
Before leaving the office in the afternoon, she calls the manager's office, it is answered by William, to make sure he has returned, she retakes the files to find him to sign.
"Mr. William, please sign this file for me."
She hands the files to him, desperately restraining the urge to question him, before things are clear, she doesn’t want to be too suspicious, nor does she want to create any misunderstanding, five years of living alone, she has learned to be patient.
"Huh, the sun really comes out of the west today, why do you come over in person?"
William signs while looking up and smiling warmly at her.
Looking at his smile, Karin is falling into a momentary bewilderment. Although this man had concealed things that should not be concealed before, but his care for her and Esme over the past five years has long made up for his previous mistakes, she would rather believe that he is a good person, and doesn't want to consider his five years of dedication and sincerity to them as another evil plan.
"My assistant takes a leave of absence."
She explains calmly, wondering how to ask him about his parents.
"Oh, I wonder, should I consider to remove the assistant position in the finance department, so we should have more opportunities to meet each other in the future."
He is teasing, and the atmosphere is rarely delightful, Karin takes advantage of the situation and says, "I know how you feel about me, but I also tell you my feelings to you a long time ago, it's impossible for me to be with you, so you should stop waiting for me, you are not too young, it's time for you to start a family."
"Oh, now you are concerning my own happiness, it's okay, you should not feel stressed, waiting for you is my own business."
"But I feel sorry for you if you keep waiting for me, not only feel sorry for you, but also feel sorry for your parents."
"Why are my parents involved in it?" William stands up and walks to her, "Did my parents ever get you in trouble?"
