Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 98

"I’m from Falkirk, you?"

"Livingston, quite far from Falkirk."

"What about Miss Karin?" William turns his gaze to the left.

"Oh, I’m from London, even farther."

"Haven’t you two graduated yet?"

Billie answers in a rush, "We have graduated from master programs, and now studying for PhD. Degree."

William smiles, "Great, quite ambitious."

"Ambitious? If it weren’t for…" She thinks for a while and swallows the rest of her words.

"For what?"

"Nothing."

William stops asking and points to the counter in the front and says, "Would you like to drink something?"

"Anything except alcohol." Karin says first.

"What about Miss Billie?"

"Oh, don’t call us Miss. It sounds weird. It’s a fate that we’ve met. Just call us by our names."

Billie has a cheerful personality, and she doesn’t like to address others as Mr. or Miss.

"Okay."

The waiter starts serving the dishes, and William says, "Bring us some bottles of beer and other drinks."

"I would definitely drink beer. A woman who can't drink can't get married nowadays."

Karin stares at her, "Nonsense. Women who like to drink can't get married. Who wants to marry an alcoholic home?"

"You don't have to be drunk. Drinking is a lifestyle, am I right? William?"

Billie raises her eyebrows and asks, but he remains silent with a smile on his face.

"I want to grow old with you, cherishing every moment of love, until that day you and I will become old, and the stars will still shine although our hair is white…"

Karin’s phone rings. She stands up hurriedly and speaks in a low voice, "I'll answer the phone."

Staring at her back, Billie smiles ambiguously, "The man calls. Look how shy she is."

"What man?"

"Her boyfriend."

William is quite surprised, "She has a boyfriend?"

"Yeah, why? You have thoughts about her?" She smirks evilly, and leans closer to his ear, "Don't say I didn't remind you, that her boyfriend is preeminent."

"No, I’m just asking."

William’s expression seems calm, but a flash of complexity appears in his eyes.

Karin finds a quiet place and answers the phone, "Hello?"

"Karin, I’ll pick you up for lunch later."

"Lunch?" She is a bit embarrassed, "But I’m having it now."

"So early?"

"Yeah, Billie and I ran into a senior, and he treated us to lunch. It’s not good not to go."

"What senior?"

Karin doesn’t hide it from him, "The one on the blind date last time."

Suddenly there is silence at the other end. After a while, Troy says earnestly, "Have you forgotten what I said?"

"What?"

"…" As expected, she forgets.

"Last time my elder sister forced you to go on a blind date, and what did I tell you then?"

Karin thinks carefully, and finally she says, "I remember."

"Tell me."

"Don't contact with unfamiliar men, especially those who claim to be alumni or old folks at home."

"And?"

"The bad guy will not write the word ‘bad guy’ on his face."

"And?"
