"She's now in a place far away from here, miss."

"Is he overseas?" violet asked curiously.

Ting..the elevator door is open.

"Sorry miss I have to rest soon. I still have work to do later." Mark walked away from Violet who was still standing in curiosity in the elevator.

"Why won't he answer? Why should it be kept secret. I'm just asking so I can get this back to her." Violet's inner voice rubbed the blue jewel ring she had been given.

19:00 pm

Violet was already preparing to leave with Uci.

"Mother I'm waiting for the hotel lobby." Violet then sends a message through a chat application on her phone.

"Am I in Secretary Mark's room?" violet asked in her heart.

Violet then took and opened the jewelry box, there was still a necklace and bracelet with blue gems inside. Soon Violet put it in her bag.

Tok tok... Violet knocked on Mark's room door.

Chequek.. Mark opened the door to his room.

"Miss Violet." Mark was surprised to see Violet at the door of his room.

"Sorry Secretary Mark is disturbing. There's something I want to talk about. Can I come in for a second?"

Mark looked silent and thought for a moment.

"Please, but only for a moment. Since I also have to leave soon there is still some business." Mark gave the conditions.

"Yes, just a minute." Violet answered confidently.

Mark took a few steps back, giving Violet a way in, and then shut the door.

"What do you want to talk about, miss?" ask Mark when they are both sitting on the hotel couch.

"Secretary Mark, where is Kay now?" asked Violet quickly.

"Why did the lady ask where Mr. Kay is now? Didn't you yourself say not to deal or see it?" mark's question is checkmate for Violet.

Violet's memory then returns where that night she was so angry that she said the same sentence Mark said. Even worse than that.

Violet lowered her face, a moment later she lifted up again.

"I'm not looking for business with him. But still have business with him."

"Oh yeah? What business is that? As far as I am Mr. Kay has already finished all the affairs related to you before leaving. If regarding your contract it can be taken care of with the company alone without Mr. Kay was legal because she authorized her confidants to deal with all of that."

"Not that problem. I want to give this back." Violet then took out her jewelry box, then slowly removed the blue ring in her diary.

Mark sighed, though,

"Miss, is Mr. Kay used to say something when she gave you this?"

Violet shook her head, lying.

"Miss asau I Mr. Mark really doesn't like it when the stuff he gives someone is returned. He interpreted it as a very big insult. Did he ever tell you?"

Violet nodded her head, though,

"Well for that you better save."

"Secretary Mark, I can't keep it anymore. I want to give it back."

"But sorry lady for this kind of trouble I can't help you. Because if I help you, it means I help you insult him. And I will be hit hard for his anger. So I'm sorry I couldn't help."

"But, I always feel tormented and guilty every time I see this stuff" said Violet softly while holding back tears that had been urged to flow on her cheeks.

Mark smiled happily at Violet.

"You are not aware of your feelings young lady. Are you even so common with longing? Why the sense of prestige once you wake up with a high that actually makes you more tortured stemming the sense of longing." Inner Mark.

"Miss, are you tormented with an item? Or are you tormented by something else?"

"What do you mean?"

"I don't think that stuff can do anything. So how can you torture yourself just by looking at it? Maybe you're tormented for something else, miss."

"But the truth is every time I see this I remember Kay. And I remember all the bad treatment for me. It makes me angry. I want to forget all the bad things that I've been through with her."

Mark smiled again, as the clear details from Violet's eyes flowed gently and hurriedly.

"Miss, you know why sometimes we give things to someone with the intention of being a memento?"

Violet shook her head.

"Because when we give it, we want whenever someone remembers something we give it, he will remember us. If it is an item that should not be returned or rejected, so that if he sees the item he will remember the memories along with the giver. If it's a place then he hopes whenever someone remembers it then he will come to that place to remember him. And if it's a message then he wants every time he needs someone then he'll remember himself that do'a and support are always with that person." Mark paused his speech for a moment and watched Violet's face.

"So miss, you should keep the jewelry. There may be hidden intentions or messages from Mr. Kay for you. You just don't know it yet."

"Secretary Mark, why do I remember people who are getting married? He has also given false hope to my brother."

"Married? Who's getting married?"

"Of course Kay. Who else."

Mark smiled, though,

"Then what hope Mr. Kay on your sister?"

"She asked my sister out on a date, making my sister admire her so much. Then he already has a wife."

"What can so be called jealous miss?"

"Of course."

"How does it feel to be jealous?"

"Of course it hurts, and gets angry."

"Is that what you're feeling right now?"

"Of course I-Apaaaaa...?" violet shouted then so awakened to Mark's trap question.

Mark smiled broadly at Violet's expression that became misbehaved because of her actions.

"I don't mean I'm jealous but my brother."

Mark was even more intrigued by Violet's words.

"Secretary Mark you're really the same as your boss. Equally annoying. I'm leaving, free to talk to you guys, same!" Violet was actually angry to cover up her shame that had reached her mouth. His hand grabbed the jewelry box that was still open and chose to flee out of Mark's room.
