“Where have you been?!”

Clara gasped when she heard the scream coming out of Jack's mouth. Just as he opened the door of the room, Jack looked at him in anger. Clara looked at him confused, she had only come out about an hour ago and Jack now looked so angry. Oh no, Jack's possessive nature still hasn't changed.

“I? I'm just looking for coffee." Clara said trying as quietly as possible, Jack now smiled cynically.

“Don't lie Clara!”

Clara looked at the man confusedly, what's the matter with him? Clara slowly approaches Jack, intending to calm him down.

“You met the woman, right?”

Jack's question now makes him stop his steps, then Clara takes a deep breath and exhales slowly. Clara smiled wryly, she could have considered Jack had fully trusted her. But the truth is Jack still tells his men to follow him everywhere. The bad thing about being Jack's girlfriend is that he can't go anywhere he wants. How hard he hides, the wizard Jack will still know.

“Jack, Come. I'm just-“

“You didn't even tell me about this Clara? Don't you know how much I worry about you?”

Jack now looked at Clara with a pus. Guilt now filled the depths of Clara's heart. Next Clara walked up to Jack and gently hugged the man. I don't know, even her daughter almost rarely cried when she lived working at Bakery. But it was inversely proportional to his father, Jack Hilton. Jack even looked so childish compared to their daughter who was only a few months old.

“You know Jack, I've grown up. I can take care of myself.”

Clara said with a small laugh, Jack just closed his eyes and hugged Clara tightly. The fear of losing Clara has been growing since a year ago. Call it too much, but he doesn't care. She was afraid of losing Clara.

“Next time you have to tell me about anything, especially about my family. Understood?"

Jack asked and let go of their embrace, Clara seemed to nod and smiled widely. Then they embraced again with a smile of happiness.

“What did that woman tell you? Did he threaten you?”

Jack asked on – between their hugs. Clara simply shook her head and tightened her embrace. I don't know, he was so lucky to be with the people he loved. Unlike most people who have to let go of their loved ones with others, such as the story of former Mrs Hilton a few hours ago. Having Jack is a gift.

“You know Jack, Mrs Hilton is not as bad as you think. He so-“

The sound of a cell phone ringing from Jack's desk made Clara stop her sentence. They looked at each other before Clara chose to let go of her embrace.

“Bless! It might be important.”

Clara said softly, Jack just took a deep breath and threw it away. He always did not like how many people who always disturb his friendship with Clara. Jack stared at the screen of his phone and looked back at Clara. Clara looked at him confusedly, there was doubt on Jack's face before he raised his call.

“Halo?”

Jack looked on still staring at Clara. Clara swallowed her saliva, is something wrong? Just a few minutes Jack spoke on his phone before the call was cut off. Jack looked at Clara inside.

“My father asked me to meet him.” Said Jack hesitatingly, Clara smiled widely.

“Meet me, maybe there's something he has to tell you."

......................

Jack sighed, to be honest he was so lazy to come. If it wasn't for Clara's insistence, she wouldn't have come. Jack was so sick of having to fight again with his father. But Clara was right, in a few days she would move to France with Clara. He won't see his father again after, let's just say this is his last meeting and goodbye. And he hopes so too. Hopefully after he and Clara get married, the distraction from his father quickly disappears.

“Welcome Young Master, Big Master is waiting for you.”

Jack only nodded briefly at his father's personal assistant. Mr. John, the middle-aged man who had been an assistant to his father for almost thirty years. The big door opened, Jack could see the father struggling with his monitor. Jack looked at him intently, how his father's body was getting weaker due to age and his hair was getting whiter.

“What's up?”

Jack asked flatly as if uninterestedly, for the first time the father now greeted him with a smile and began to walk up to him, Jack just looked at him confused.

“You've had lunch? Want to have lunch together?” Hearing Jack's father's invitation just fell silent. It's not usually his father behaves like this.

“If Dad wants to defy back my relationship with Clara. No, thanks. I'm full.”

Said Jack lazily, he wanted to quickly leave this building. He wants to get back to work and go back to France to meet his beloved daughter.

“I heard if you'd stay in France. Is that true?”

Jack took a breath and exhaled slowly. His premonition says his father will be against him again. He was so bored with this discussion.

“If Dad told me to come here just to defy me, I'd be-“

“Can you promise me something, Jack?” Jack's bored gaze was now replaced with a confused look, Jack stared intensely at the father who was also looking at him gently.

“Can you promise me not to part with Clara no matter what?”

Jack looked at the father still in confusion, somewhere in the direction of the conversation this time. Mr. Hilton is now standing next to Jack and patting Jack on the shoulder slowly. Mr Hilton looked at his hand that touched the shoulder of his only son. It seems like he hasn't touched his son for so long.

"If you can promise me, I'll bless your relationship with Clara."

Jack remained silent, as if he could speak no more. He could not believe what he heard this time. Is he dreaming? Now Mr. Hilton looked at Jack with a big smile.

"Be.. Did ya? Well, is this true?"

Jack now looked at Mr Hilton with sparkling eyes, then he clasped his father's right hand and kissed him several times. Mr. Hilton who saw the reaction of his son smiled widely. This is exactly what Jack would do if he was so happy.

But a few seconds later Mr. Hilton's smile faded, he could feel his chest was now so painful. He began to moan and pressed his chest firmly.

"Ja.. Jack." - Jack."

Jack's smile faded, right in front of his eyes he could see his father's face was now turning into a painkiller. He squeezed his chest hard and started to fall on the floor.

"Well! Daddy!"

Jack shouted and patted - patting the cheek of the father who was now unconscious. Jack's heart raced fast. Jack's shout now made some people who were outside open the door.

"Master! Master!"

Mr. John now looks panicked to see his boss who has fallen helplessly on the floor with Jack still yelling at him.

"John, Mr. John's. Whatever happens, please save my father!"
