"So how are you doing now?" Kate asked.

I was on a phone call with Kate.

"I'm fine." I exhaled.

"It has already been a month of you not being here. So, when are you coming and joining the company back?" Kate asked.

I won't be joining the company back Kate.

As my stay has extended for another month, so I had to lie to her.

"Actually mom is still healing from the loss....trauma and I can't just leave her like that, so I may stay another month here." I said.

"WHAT?!!" Her voice was incredulous.

"Yeah, you have to understand it Kate." I sighed.

I was tired of lying to her and Zach.

"Okay....so how is she....your mother? Is she still angry with you.?" She asked.

I don't know..

"Yeah she's fine with me."

"This all happened because of that bastard of Mike..." I cut her off.

"Kate..." I groaned.
"Just don't take that dude's name." I grumbled.

"I'm sorry."

I sighed again.

"It's okay... where is Zach?" I asked.

"He's right beside me and his ears are glued onto my phone, eavesdropping on our conversation." She grumbled and I hummed in return

"Naomi!!" Suddenly she snapped.
"Zach and I, both wanna see your face. Can we video call you?" She asked.

"NO!!" I instantly replied.

They've been trying to video call me but I always disconnect their video calls. They can't see my expensive surroundings.

"Why??" Kate groaned.
"It's been a month since I last saw you, we just wanna see your face."

"I look awful!! I cannot show my face to you guys until I reach New York." I said.

"But--" again I interrupted her.

"Bye... I gotta go. Mom is calling." I disconnected the call and kept my phone aside.

Lying to my friends is the most difficult job to do.

Goodness!! When am I gonna get an exit from Hawaii??

Oh god!!

Life is so damn hard..

Again my phone started ringing and I took it from the bed.

The caller ID showed Dylan's name and I instantly shot up to my legs before receiving the call.

"Hello." I answered.

"Hey Naomi."

"Yes?"

"Will you do me a favor?" He asked.

"Sure. Anything for you." I was pacing back and forth inside my room.

Stop with cheesy lines, he's already someone's.

Shut up inner Naomi.

"Thanks. Well, we needed a very important file for our meeting which starts within ten minutes. I need you to go to king's room and search for the file." He said.

"Harold's room?" I asked with a frown.

"Yes."

"But his room is digitally locked and I don't know the passcode." I said.

"Don't worry about that I know the passcode it is..." he told me the passcode as I noted it down.
"And as you enter his room, walk towards the walk in closet and at the side you will find a shelf of files. And on the second shelf you'll find a black file with a name PS167478. Just take the file and hand it over to the driver..... yeah coming... gotta go Naomi. Please send the file." He said.

"Yeah...sure." With that he disconnected the call and I stared at my phone in disbelief.

I have to enter that red room..

God!!!

I scurried out of my room and descended downstairs towards Harold's room. With steady fingers I pressed the passcode of his room, it clicked as the lock opened. I took a deep breath to compose my posture and turned the door knob.

Ready to see Harold's deadly red room..

I opened the door revealing his room as my eyes widened.

O.M.G!!!

Is this the Harold Kingston's room, the CEO/ Mafia's room.

I stepped inside being totally in awe. I looked around the room. It was nothing like a dangerous red room, it was like a complete heaven.... a perfect paradise.

The room was as big as my whole apartment, with white walls and a huge glass window covered with white curtains. I slightly pulled the curtains, inviting the beautiful view of the garden and the pond joined to it, the colorful fishes swimming around.

Beside the huge glass window was a white wooden study table with a small pot of cactus above it. There were some books on it too. Beside the study table was a plant stand with ten pot plants arranged on it neatly, the pots were of brass. At the top was that 1.7 million dollar plant...um...what was the name again?

Orchid....it was something Orchid?

Which Orchid?

Senzhen nongke Orchid....right.

Now the plant was inside the small brass pot. The roots were pushed inside the mud. The whole plant theme was cute.

In between was a large king sized bed with white silk bed sheets draped on it. At the edge, was a grey bed side couch, where I saw him sitting last time. In front of it was a wooden window, which was closed like always. At the corner was a small water fall, built using the small rocks and small streams of water was flowing down the rocks into the small tiny pond inside his room. The water was coming from the outer pond and again exited to the outer pond.

The room is totally unique..

Nothing like a dark red room.

Instead it was bright and peaceful.

Above the bed was a brand new guitar and at the left wall of the bed were guitars. There was six different types of guitars hung on the wall with a use of a holder.

He is totally into music..

And at the other corner was an entrance, inside of it was a grand big piano and on the walls were hung some other music instruments. The roof of this area of his room was like those of gazebos. So beautiful.

I exited and walked towards his walk in closet to get the file. His closet was also aww. His wardrobe had those glass sliding doors, rows and rows of suites were hung neatly inside his closet.

Gosh!!

I walked towards the shelf and took the file that was asked.

I exited the walk in closet and was still  looking around the room, admiring it's interior. I just didn't want to exit right away. I walked towards the bed and sat on the edge of the bed and..

Ouch!!

Something poked my ass, I stood up and glanced down only to find a white blanket. I bent down and pushed my hands beneath the blanket to see what was beneath it.

My hands got something as I pulled that something out. I frowned in confusion because it was just a small photo frame. I glanced at the photo frame. It was a picture of a perfect family of three, mother, father and a cute little boy.

The boy was looking up at the sky with a grin while sitting on top of his father, his legs circled around his father's neck. His mother stood beside his father while glancing up at her son and her one arm stretched out towards the boy's leg. The father was glancing down at the woman beside him with adoration.

It was a perfect family picture.

I closely looked at the picture, the boy was Harold with golden brown hair, he was so cute, when he was a kid and the woman was Helen with her golden brown hair, she looked much younger in the photo. I closely looked at the man in the photo and my frown deepend in confusion.

I've seen him somewhere.

I pressurized my brain to reminisce this  guy's face, where have I seen him??

I've seen him??? But where???

After a minute I remembered him and remembered where I saw him.

My eyes widened in shock because he was none other than..

He was the younger version of..

Marcel Dèlacourt..
