In fact, the call Karin received was from Jacob, in which he didn't say anything but he wanted to see
her.
She rushes to the appointed restaurant and sees Jacob sitting in the corner.
"What's the matter?"
She walks so quickly to the opposite side of him and sits down. She takes two puffs of hot air and rubs
her frozen hands.
"Nothing happened. I just want someone to drink with me."
Jacob has drunk a lot, and his voice is vague. Karin looks at him carefully, noticing his eyes are red.
Obviously, he cried before. "What's the matter?" She frowns and asks.
"I'm fine." Jacob shakes his head, "Now the new year is coming, so I miss my mother a little."
"You can go back home to visit her. Are you worried about the money? If you need, I'll give it to you!"
"No, I don't want to go back now. I swore before that I would not go back until I made it in the world..."
Karin glares at him angrily, "You mean that you will never see your mother if you fail?"
"Yes."
She slaps him on the head, "Don't think like that!"
"Karin, don't be angry. I'm such a worthless person. I has owed you two lives. I don't know when I can
repay you. If I don't have a chance in this life, in the next life I will..."
"Shut up!"
Karin pats the table with anger, "The new year is coming. How can you say something ominous like
that?"
Jacob smiles with a decadent expression, "You're right, and I won't say that any more."
He takes a sip of wine from his glass, sniffs and says, "Could Karin help me with my New Year's wish?"
"It's OK to ask for a red packet. As for the wish, it depends on whether I can help you."
"You must have such ability."
"What is your wish?"
"I mentioned it to you last time in prison. If you have a chance in the future, can you visit my mother?"
Karin's face suddenly cools. She asks in a deep voice, "Jacob, you'd better to be honest. Is there
something you're hiding from me?"
"No, you're the only friend that I'm closest to in Zurich. I won't lie to you..."
"Well, but why do you always say something strange?"
"I'm afraid that I'll be worthless all my life, so I want to place my hope on you. Of course, you have the
right to refuse. After all, my request is a little tough."
Looking at Jacob's gloomy eyes, Karin feels very uncomfortable. She pats him on the shoulder, "Don't
worry. I promise that I will visit your mother for you when I return home, but you need to cheer up. I
hope to see you live a good life instead of only abandoning yourself to despair."
Jacob nods heavily, "OK, I promise you I will live a good life in the future!"
Karin smiles happily and then talks with him for a long time. When they leave, she says earnestly,
"Whenever you encounter difficulties, you can ask me for help, and I will try my best to help you!"
"Thanks a lot. I will remember what you say."
Back to the mountain, it is already one o'clock in the morning. She has been frozen stiff and creeps into
the bedroom. Troy has already fallen asleep. After a hot bath, she still feels cold.
Standing by the bedside, she lifts the quilt to lie in. The warm blanket makes her very comfortable. The
man around her is as warm as a stove. She goes into his arms to get more warmth.
"Where did you go?"
He suddenly makes a sound, which scares her and let her stunned for a few seconds. She answers
slightly, "It is because Jacob is in a bad mood that I chat with him for a while."
"You run out faster than a rabbit when he calls you. Even I can't call you back. You really pay little
attention to my feelings, do you?"
Karin chuckles, "You are jealous with a child, are you?"
"I'm not jealous. I'm discussing about whether you have put me in your heart as well as in your eyes."
"Look. Now could you see you are in my eyes?"
She turns on the light, raises her chin, and stares at the man sleeping beside her.
Troy deliberately ignores her eyes and avoids looking at her, "No."
"What do you say? Would you take a closer look? "
"I see nothing. Even how many times you ask, my answer is the same as before."
Then he turns his back and ignores her.
Karin leans on his back. But he doesn't let her lean on him, so he moves forward.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he moves, she also moves. If the bed was not big enough, they would have
fallen to the ground.
"Why do you turn your back on me?"
Troy doesn't talk.
"Why don't you talk to me?"
He still doesn't talk.
"Well, please pay no attention to me."
Karin also turns her back, closes her eyes and counts in the heart, "One, two, three, four, five…"
"I can't do nothing with you. Look how frozen you are!"
He finally turns around and takes her in his arms.
"Didn't you ignore me?"
"I love you! I'll talk with Jacob tomorrow. It's none of your business. How can he trouble you in the deep
night?"
"You can't scold Jacob."
She glares at him and warns him.
The arms around her waist increase strength. Karin nestles like a bird in the crook of Troy's arms. The
warmest thing in the world is his temperature for her.
The New year's Eve is coming. Thinking about what Jacob said that night, Karin always feels worried
about him. After much consideration, she decides to go to Charles Commercial Building to see him.
Since Jacob became a bodyguard, she has seen him standing at the door every time she goes to
Charles Commercial Building. However, she doesn't find him today.
She becomes flustered immediately and asks the other two bodyguards, "Is Jacob off today?"
"I don't know. He hasn't come to work for two days."
"Two days!" Karin is so surprised that asks again, "Didn't he tell you what he did?"
"No."
She is stunned and quickly runs towards the elevator. She need to ask Troy.
Feeling nervous, she flings open the door of the president's office. As soon as she comes in, she asks
him, "Where's Jacob?"
Troy looks up at her and is confused for a few seconds, "Is he not in?"
"Of course he's not here. His colleagues said he hasn't come to work for two days. Don't you know?"
"I don't know that."
Karin becomes more flustered after he says this. She stomps and asks, "As a president, how can you
have no idea of your employee's condition?"
"It's only his supervisor who knows that. As a president, I need to manage the whole company. How
can I know everyone?"
"But Jacob is a special person. Don't you care if you don't see him when you are in and out of the
company every day?"
Troy hums, "I never look around when I go in and out of the company. Even for women I won't have a
look, let alone men!"
"You are making excuses for your management negligence. As a president..."
"Wait a minute."
Troy interrupts her, "Are you the chairman? You dare to scold me in such way? "
"Of course, I'm not the chairman. I'm just asking you for an explanation as an employee's sister. You
need to tell my brother's whereabouts in five minutes."
Being speechless for a long time, Troy looks at her up and down and says, "You win."
He presses the inside line. A moment later, Robert comes in.
"You investigate why Jacob has been absent for two days."
"All right."
After ten minutes, Robert comes back, "Mr. Troy, no one in the administration department knows why
Jacob disappears. He didn't ask for leave or resign. In other words, he was absent from work."
"Do you hear what he said?"
Troy is sitting on the broad office chair, lazily picking eyebrows towards her.
Karin has called Jacob dozens of times, which she only finds it has been turned off. After listening to
Robert's report, she runs out to the place where Jacob lives with saying nothing. The door is locked.
She asks the tenant next to him and knows he hasn't seen Jacob for two days.
Thinking of the strange words Jacob said that night, a bad premonition comes to her mind. She goes to
Charles Commercial Building again. As soon as she sees Troy, she begs, "Jacob is gone. Can you
help me find him?"
"If he leaves, then just let him go. There are so many people in Zurich. How can I find him?"
"If you want to find him, there will always be a way. He has offended many people before. If you don't
find him, he will be in danger."
Troy glances at her, "You need to know I'm not omnipotent. Even at that time I failed to find you. How
can I find him?"
"You can't find me because you don't know my name. But you know the name of Jacob and his
personal information, don't you?"
"So what? It's unnecessary to look for an unidentified person like him who is
untraceable."
