Two hours passed by quickly. Park Jimin glance down at the time on his wrist watch. He frowns at the amount of time he's waited.

After taking a look at the ring, he was brought back to the same room. Sitting in a chair, he sighs and looks at Kang In-Sung, "Does your boss intend for me to keep waiting?"

"..."

Kang In-Sung stare at the man and he did not know what to say. Scratching the back of his head, he forces a small chuckle.

"Ha Ha... you see, my boss is very busy, especially during this time of the year."

"I'm a busy person myself."

"...."

Kang In-Sung did not know whether to laugh or cry hearing the man's words. Inside his heart, he could only pray that his boss hurries and make a decision. Everyone in Asia knows how ruthless Park Jimin is... One word from the man and he can sabotage one's life.

"Mr. Park, if you will—"

"I'll take my leave."

Park Jimin interrupts Kang In-Sung's words. Standing up, he fix his suit jacket.

"I respect your boss as he is busy. Do let him know that I am very interested in L'amour de ma vie and I would like to purchase it as soon as possible."

"....."

Kang In-Sung was dumbfounded. When Park Jimin cut his words off, he had thought the man would explode in anger. Yet, Park Jimin didn't look anywhere near anger.....

Ignoring the man's dumbfounded look, Park Jimin walks to the door. Just when his hand touch the door knob, he parted his lips to speak.

"Please keep my identity hidden."

"...."

Park Jimin leaves the room while Kang In-Sung was once more dumbfounded. Lifting his hand, he couldn't help but scratch his head again.

Keep this hidden? Then what is supposed to say to his boss? That some unknown person wants the ring? Would his boss even sell the ring to some 'unknown' person?

Thinking of his boss, Kang In-Sung sighed in self pity. He's been with H International for 8 years. After he met Park Jimin for the first time, he can't help but feel sorry for himself.

Korea has someone cold like Park Jimin, while Los Angeles has his boss.

Kang In-Sung lets out a sigh again. L'amour de ma vie is the most important item to his boss. Will his boss finally let this item go?

——————-

Stepping out of H International, Park Jimin takes his phone out to call his assistant. He walks in the direction of his waiting car as his bodyguard waited for him.

["Assistant Kim, ready for duty!"]

"Find out who is H International's CEO. Locate him and give me—-"

Just when Park Jimin was about to get inside the car, every remaining word he planned to say seemed to have stuck at his throat.

["Boss? Boss?"]

"Find what you can and send me the details."

Not waiting for a response, he hangs up the phone. His thumb slides through his phone screen and he calls a number.

Waiting for the ring to go through, he frowns. The call goes straight to voicemail after three rings. Repeating his steps, he calls again. However, all calls went to voicemail. Frowning more, he turn his head to the busy street of Los Angeles.

Getting inside the car, he instructs his bodyguard.

"Follow the license plate 8344."

Sitting inside the back seat of the same cab she got in, Rosè Han stare out the window.

After she bid her parents a long farewell, Rosè Han told the driver to drive to another place.

This place is located on the other side of Los Angeles, which makes them have to drive through the city.

Seeing the once familiar buildings, she felt an indescribable feeling dawn on her. She couldn't help but feel that this place somehow seemed so different and distance.

This place she once called home.

From the busy city to the outskirts of Los Angeles, the cab drove for two hours. Arriving at a mountain, the cab drives for another 30 minutes before it finally parks.

Throughout the car ride, Rosè Han did not look anywhere but at the flowers on her lap. When she left the flower shop, she had bought another bundle of flowers. Staring at the purple color of the flower, her mind somehow drifted to memory lane.

"Miss, we are here."

Hearing the old man's words, Rosè Han lifts her head and turn to look out the window. She could feel a slight tightening in her heart.

From all angles of view was mother nature's beautiful creation. The blue sky enhanced the beauty of the mountain like a painting.

Opening the door, she slowly got out of the car. The moment she stepped out, she could smell the unique scent of the grass with a mixture of the ocean. The sound of the sea calling slowly enters her ears.

She turned to look at the old man, "I'm sorry for having to ask you to wait again."

"Hahah, no worries. I'm old, I can nap if you take longer."

Rosè Han smiles faintly at the old man. Closing the door, she walks towards the sound of the ocean.

Inside the cab, the old man looks at Rosè Han's figure and he sighed. From what he saw earlier, he could guess that the girl was crying. On the way here, he could see more pain written on her face. Even if she had her sunglasses on, he knows that look from miles away.

Sighing again, he reach for a newspaper on the passenger seat and starts reading it. Since he's waiting, he'll read for a bit and then take a nap.

Oblivious to the old man's mind, Rosè Han walked on the small dirt road as tall grass guarded the sides. Her bluish green eyes stare in a daze as she took each step. She could hear her heart thumping loudly in slow beats. As if everything around her had stopped.
