Capture Your Heart

Billie’s landlady is an approachable local woman. Billie tells her that she has a best friend who desperately needs money and wants to make a fortune in casinos. The landlady instantly promises her to take Karin to a casino.

The underground casino Jacob works for is the largest one in Zurich, which is gamblers’ favorite. After Billie elicits messages that the casino is the largest one Jacob works for, she calls Karin and arranges for her to meet her landlady at five o’clock on the next afternoon.

Next afternoon, Karin asks for a leave from William before returning to Ziteng Garden. She disguises herself as a gambler even she can’t recognize herself. Then she’s about to leaves home with her bag.

Stepping out of her room, she runs into a hard chest. She’s startled as she sees Troy standing in front of her, stuttering, “When…when did you come back?”

Eyes roaming over her body, he taunts, “And where are you going?”

“I…”

She’s dumbfounded by his presence, not knowing how to answer him.

“A vampire’s party, I guess, in your costume?”

Embarrassed and annoyed, Karin glares at him. Does she look like a ghost now?”

“I’m going out with Billie.”

Lowering her head, she wants to detour from his side to get downstairs, but Troy grabs her back by the arm. “Don’t you see I don’t show up right here by chance?”

“What?”

“Want to find your Jacob?”

Troy arches one of his eye brows.

Her heart stops for a beat and asks, “How do you get it?” Does Billie betray her?

“Nobody knows about you better than I do. You stay low-profiled as you’ve got your own plan.

He does know her.

Raising her head up, she admits, “So what? I have my own plan in that you don’t help me.”

“What’s your plan?”

“Secret.”

She looks at the clock, worried about her meet with Billie’s landlady.

“Fine. I have no interest in your plan. Go back to change your clothes.”

“Why?”

“Lily invites us to dinner.”

“I’m not available this evening.”

Karin’s very anxious as there’s less than half an hour for the appointment. She won’t get a second chance if she doesn’t show up on time.
