Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 281

They arrive at the Red Sun Real Estate. Upon hearing Karin say that Simon personally asked them here to see him, the receptionist immediately let them pass. As Karin and Robert are about to enter the elevator, Karin thinks about it and goes back to ask the receptionist, "Last time, I left a note to you. Did you forget to give it to your chairman?"

The stunned receptionist asks in surprise, "Didn't you guys ask it back later?"

"Did we? Me or him?"

Karin points to herself and then to Robert.

"Not you two. It is another strange man. He said that he was with you. Soon after you left, he came to me and claimed the note back. So I didn’t overthink it and gave the note to him."

The two of them look at each other, feeling a tacit understanding in their hearts. Without saying anything, they walk straight towards the direction of the elevator.

"It's true that we've been trapped and that we've been followed."

"Yes."

"Then we are now coming to see the real Mr. Simon, which I think the ones in the shadows also know about it. I am afraid that we will be in danger."

Robert knits his eyebrows, feeling quite worried in his heart.

"Let's be careful. in broad daylight, they won't dare to be so reckless."

The elevator stops on the ninth floor. And the two of them, who are led by the secretary, arrive at the Chairman's office.

"Please wait for a moment. The Chairman is having a meeting which will be over in about fifteen minutes."

"Okay."

"Then please make yourself at home. I'll go and work first."

After the secretary leaves, Karin begins to survey Simon's office, feeling familiar with it. And she always felt that this office is as stuffy as the hall in the ancestral house of her family.

She asks casually, "Where is Simon from?"

"I'm not sure about that. But I am sure about one thing, that is, he's not a native of England."

"How do you know?"

"I heard it from Young Master Troy on the boat last time."

"Didn't he say where he was from?"

"No. He only said that Simon's ancestors didn’t come from England."

Karin guesses, "Then he may be from London."

"Why?"

"This office gives me an illusion, making me feel like I am at home. And I found that I was somewhat familiar with Mr. Simon as soon as I saw him for the first time."

While explaining the feeling in her heart, she continues to stroll around and walks to Simon's desk. Upon seeing a photo placed on the desk, she is shocked all of a sudden. And she feels that her legs go limp. And she wants to go up and take a closer look at the photo, only to find that she can't move any pace at all.

Her eyes gradually become blurry. She takes a big step forward with all her strength, grabs the photo frame on the desk, and stares at a vintage photo of a woman inside the frame, feeling overwhelmingly shocked.

The woman in the photo wearing a lavender cheongsam is sitting alone in front of a small window. And a pot of violets of the same color as the clothes she is wearing is placed on the window sill. Her hair is pulled back loosely behind her head. There is an elegant smile on her delicate face. And the smile stings Karin's heart. She can’t be more than familiar with this woman and her smile...

Seeing her staring at the photo with a complicated look on her face, Robert curiously comes over and asks, "Whose photo is this? Do you know the one in the photo?"

Karin doesn’t speak. Neither can she. Her mind goes blank. And the hand of hers holding the photo is shaking more and more ferociously.

At this time, the door creaks open. And Simon walks in.

"Sorry for keeping you guys waiting."

"It's okay." Robert hurriedly tugs Karin who is still in shock.

As Simon sees the photo Karin is holding onto, there is a gloomy look in his eyes. And he points to a sofa with his finger, "Sit down and talk."
