Karin suddenly freezes. This is a pressure for Troy?
Perhaps realizing that his words are a bit heavy, Troy softens his tone to explain, "I am a merchant. I have countless business to deal with. I have a lot of work to do. And I also have revenge to take. Therefore, I cannot fully control my time. Time is very precious for me. Can you understand that?"
"I thought I am the most precious one. But I am wrong. I am nothing compared with your business, job and revenge."
"No."
Troy’s voice sounds a little hoarse, "I love you most. But a man has to realize his value through other means. My father passed on the company to me, hoping that I could run it well. I am not an ordinary man. You know this since you decided to stay with me."
"Fine. I know. I won’t do that again."
Karin hangs up. She jumps off the swing and goes to the house directly.
She never wants to be a burden to him.
The night is as long as ever, but Troy does not come back even though it is the midnight.
Karin goes to the school the next day. She is in a much worse state compared to yesterday.
"Didn’t you go to trip?" Billie asks surprisingly.
"Do not ever mention that."
"What’s wrong?"
"Troy has something to deal with, so he could not go with me."
"What’s the matter?"
"Hard to say."
"Are you disappointed?"
"No. I feel at lost.
"Why?"
"Hard to say."
Billie snorts in displeasure, "What's so hard to explain? You can go yourself if you want."
"That would be of no interest…"
"You are so in love with him? Don’t rely too much on man. The more you depend on him, the more he will think you are unimportant."
Karin’s heart thuds. Is that so? She is so dependent on Troy that he starts to get stressed?
"Then let’s go on a trip."
"Ok. I feel annoyed as well."
"Where should we go?"
Billie thinks for a while and says, "Somewhere close. I do not have enough money to afford a long journey."
"Ok. When?"
"Right now, of course."
"Right now? Will it be too hasty?"
