“I first, yes!” caroline said when she finished eating. He did not even wait for the response of his friends and directly walked towards returning to the room.
Upon learning that Andrew did just that to her, Carolina felt sick of lingering with the man, moreover, he had to keep smiling to maintain the image that he had made during the lecture period.
A woman who is always smiling, kind, and never angry.
Carolina was actually feeling tired, but she was afraid that the same incident would happen again.
Meanwhile, Ethan, who had been watching the woman, could only smile.
“It looks like he can't stand to linger there,” thought Ethan.
20 minutes! The woman held him for 20 minutes!
“Mr Ethan,” call Great suddenly. Ethan who dissolved in his mind turned his head.
“This time sir wants to take a walk or return to the room?” ask Great. If his boss wanted to go for a walk, he had already prepared a trip that would probably suit the child's taste.
“We're not going straight to the airport, are we?” ask Ethan.
“Ehem, I told you that our flight to Jakarta will be at 7 p.m,” said Agung who deliberately arranged his flight like that because he thought his boss wanted to go for a walk first in Bali before finally returning home.
“I don't need to go for a walk. Just forward the flight, find the one before 12 noon so we do not get charged when we check out of the hotel,”
“Ba-Good sir, I will do it soon,” said Agung.
“Am I going to be judged not becus, huh? Hopefully not!” inner Great and immediately looking for the fastest flight.
“Mr Ethan, the flight has been extended to 11:30,” said Agung.
“OK, then I wait for you another 30 minutes in the lobby, yes!” ethan said after looking at the clock on his phone screen.

“Hei! Are you back?” greet Dion as Carolina enters the hotel room.
“Ah is not! Just me, the others are still eating,” said Carolina and immediately dropped her on the bed.
“Are you okay?” ask Dion.
“Hah? Yes, I'm fine! Why emang?” caroline asked with a smile.
Dion just shook his head and continued to wear his watch.
“Oh yes Di, sorry yes, but I think I'm mager nih make a walk, hehe,”
“Okay, rest first if so,” said Dion with a smile before finally coming out of the room. He doesn't know what happened to that woman last night, but hopefully she just needs a break from not sleeping in bed.
“Still,” Carolina said and began to close her eyes.
***
“Hmm. Oh yes, how is that woman's necklace?” thought Ethan was tidying up his stuff.
“I brought it only time? I still wonder who he is anyway. It's clear she's not a paid woman, she doesn't seem to be a fan of mine either. Did he just happen to get into my room, huh?”
“Bawa aja. If we were meant to meet, we would meet again!” ethan said before deciding to put the necklace in the bag he was carrying.
***.
Carolina tried to find a good sleeping position, but no matter how she tried to fall asleep, she still could not sleep.
He had not expected Andrew to give the medicine in his drink. If he hadn't gone into the other room, it might have been Andrew who would have taken his first experience.
“Huft... I don't know anymore, do I have to be grateful or not for doing it with the red apple, but like he played it quite rough, this is my neck until there is a trace of gini,” Inner Carolina who then fumbles the mark left by Ethan on her neck. There are some other signs that Ethan left on his body, but Carolina can cover it up, which is why the current problem is that the mark is on his neck!
“Ka-Kalung! My necklace where!” Carolina suddenly became panicked when she was unable to feel the necklace she was wearing. She still remembers her wearing her necklace while taking a shower this morning.
“Anjirt! I left it in the sink of the red apple's room! Hopefully he's still in his room!” Carolina immediately stood up and walked out of the room.
Had it not been for the necklace that was her papa's gift, Carolina probably wouldn't have bothered to meet.
“Knock... knock... knock...” no matter how many times Carolina knocked on her door, there was no reply from the person inside.
“Is he still sleeping, huh?” thought Carolina and tried to open the door, but it was locked.
“Carol!” suddenly someone called out to him. Carolina immediately turned her head and saw Clara and Riko coming closer.
“Ah, not really, which other one?” tanya Carolina tried to shift the subject.
“Andrew and Vera look like a walk again. Dion's still eating. By the way, we want to swim in the hotel pool, would you like to come along?” bring Clara.
Hearing that, Riko suddenly looked at Carolina and began to shake her head, like giving a code not to accept Clara's invitation.
Carolina just smiled and almost laughed when she saw that, “I pass first, have fun, yeah! I want to go down first, just remember it is not good if you eat directly to sleep, all help the digestive process,” said Carolina.
Clara and Riko simply nodded before entering the room.
“Just this time no more excuses, yes! You have to wear it!” riko is heard by Carolina. Carolina just laughed a little at hearing it. But he suddenly went back to being quiet.
“His bedroom door is locked meaning he is awake. Don't-don't you check out, huh?” think Carolina. She finally decided to ask the receptionist before finally picking up Clara's clothes that she had left at the clothing store.
***
“Guests staying in the room have checked out,” replied the receptionist with a smile.
“Has room been cleaned? Is there a necklace that is missing?” ask Carolina.
The receptionist looked back at the computer screen in front of him before saying,
“The room has been cleaned and no items have been left behind,”
“Oh okay, thanks,” replied Carolina.
“If at this hour he has checked out, it means he has to go somewhere. Ah shit! If only I had bought a new phone, I could give an order to Yui to check who stayed in that room!” think Carolina. Either way, he must rediscover his papa-given necklace!

“Ethan... Mr. Ethan..” call Great when they have reached their destination.
“Eng... have we arrived?” ethan asked when he woke up. He was in the car that was prepared by Agung as soon as they landed at the airport.
Ethan, who doesn't know how far his parents' house is from the airport, decides to stay awake during the trip, but when an hour has passed. She finally fell asleep.
“Eh? Ah yes, we have arrived,” replied Agung who was a little surprised because Ethan suddenly spoke in Indonesian but Agung decided to continue speaking in English.
“It's okay, I can use Indonesian, really! Oh yes, tomorrow I have to come at what time in the office?” ask Ethan who's still sitting in the car.
“Ehem, in NamTech at 8.01 including late,”
“It must be the rule of mama,” thought Ethan.
“Alright, then see you at the office. Oh yeah,” Ethan was just about to come down when he suddenly remembered something.
“Thank you, have spent your weekend with me. Your work is good! Keep it up, yeah! Added to overtime pay, yes! Be careful on the road!” ethan said with a smile.
Great was silent when he heard that. He already knew that he would get overtime when he picked up his new boss. But she did not expect the boy would thank her.
“Good! Thank you! See you tomorrow!” say Great while smiling.
Ethan looked at the 2-story whitewashed mansion in front of him.
Suddenly a feeling of nostalgia envelops Ethan. The front interior of his house is still the same, even though 8 years have passed since Ethan left his house for his dream.
This is the first time Ethan has returned after 8 years.
Usually at Christmas and new year they always spend time in China, with their mother's family, or sometimes they spend it in South Korea with their father's family.
Ethan took a breath and threw it away, his heart pounding as a feeling of excitement began to envelop him.
“I'm home!” ethan said before finally hitting the doorbell of his house.
