Chapter: 2041
Deep down, she longed for Barlow to reappear, to hear him affectionately call her "Chameleon" again.
The memory of his smile flashed in Karina's mind, overwhelming her with emotion. Tears welled in her eyes as she struggled to hold back her sobs.
"Need a tissue?" the man asked, taking out a tissue from his pocket and handing it to Karina.
She could feel his eyes staring into her soul.
Karina did all she could to hold back her tears and raised her head to look up at him. There was something about him, either his voice or face, that deeply resembled Barlow's to her.
She managed to force a smile and said as she took the tissue from his hand, "Thank you."
With a smile, the man asked, "This is the very first time I've seen a girl cry at the very sight of me. Have we met before or something?
Did I remind you of a sad past?"
Wiping her tears, Karina said, "You look like someone I know."
"Your boyfriend, I presume."
Nodding her head slightly, Karina answered, "Well, yes."
ALL of a sudden, a spark ignited in his eyes. “He betrayed you, didn't he?"
“Not at all. He's the best one out there. Please, don't say that again."
Karina sounded serious at that point.
The man was left speechless. He could only stare at her with a smile.
Just then, a voice from behind called, "Karina."
She quickly turned around and walked up to Jack.
"Are you done with the examination? How did it go?"
"Yeah, it's all done. I thought you got the reports, didn't you?"
Jack took a careful look at the man, after which he withdrew his gaze and asked Karina.
