"Kara, papa wants you to take care of this place. Papa trusts you more than anyone else to take care of this place. Papa is sure this place will be more developed in your hands!"


Kara stared at her coffee cup as her papa spoke. He just plays a little spoon in the cup.


"Papa will open a restaurant in Las Vegas. Papa really needs your help Kara." Papa looked at Kara as if expecting her stubborn daughter to help him.


"Pa, I haven't held any restaurant business in a long time. I'm afraid I can't make a restaurant grow like Papa's hopes."


"Kara, Papa there's a belief you can bring this business much more developed."


"Is that sure, Pa?"


"Papa is sure! You're a Jones, business blood is in your body, you can!" Papa encouraged and convinced Kara.


Kara took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly,


"I'll try, Pa. But please guide me always!"


Papa hugs Kara, she's so happy, her daughter's finally back to what she used to be. Helping the family business.


Kara contacts Jane, saying that she will resign from her job, to return to the restaurant business. Jane was so happy to hear that. Despite the weight of releasing Kara, Jane is very proud of Kara's achievements.


However, after resigning, Jane asked Kara to remain freelance to write articles about culinary in the tabloid. Kara agreed.


A few days Kara takes care of her old job, and leaves stock of articles to Jane, to be written by her surrogate.


Mike and Nindy are shocked by Kara's sudden decision. They do remote videos together, to chat.


"You're so mean Kara!" shouting Mike.


"Calm down, I'll treat you to this restaurant,"


"It's not like that!" Mike is still upset about Kara's sudden decision.


"My father asked me for help here, I'm afraid that if he's too tired he'll interfere with his health."


"When are you going to Washington again?" ask Nindy.


"Yes, we should meet to celebrate farawell party !" Mike didn't lose the fuss.


"Ah... y'all.. I still work there, despite freelance."


"But, stay different, we'll rarely meet after this." Nindy.


"Then, how's that smart, handsome guy?" ask Mike.


Kara was silent for a moment, she almost forgot Kevin all this time, work after work made her forget, that there was someone waiting for her.


"Hmmm.... I'll meet him for sure, and I'll meet you guys too. I'll be home next week. See you there, bye!"


Mike and Nindy waved, replying to Kara's hand.


Kara closed her laptop, and stared at the coffee cup next to the laptop, picked up, then inhaled the aroma of coffee to calm her mind.

Kevin looked at his assistant Henry, "What the hell is this?" yells.


"Your employment contract. I've taken care of everything, and you've signed all the agreements." Henry looked at Kevin confusedly.


"So that visit to New York yesterday while discussing this huh?"


"Yes, Sir. You're in a hurry, so you might not reread the file I gave you."


Yes, Kevin recalled that when he got the news that Kara was sick, he was discussing a work contract, but he did not read the details. Kevin covered his face with both hands, then took a deep breath in calming the mind.


"So when do we start working there?" Kevin is starting to control himself.


"Early of December Sir."


"All right, just get everything ready."


"Good, Sir!"


Kevin was sitting in his chair, staring at the screen of his cell phone with a picture of Kara and himself. He misses her, confused about what to say, separated from her almost drives him crazy.


Kevin opens his cell phone contact and clicks Kara's name.


"Hello!"


"Hi, Kar, how's the job there?"


"Well, how are you?"


"I'm fine, and work as usual."


"I'm back in Washington this week, getting things done, and then I'm going to LA, celebrating Thanksgiving. Would you like to come celebrate with us?" ask Kara.


"Sure, I'll come. I miss you back near me." said Kevin softly.


Kara smiled hearing that. "I miss you too!"


They shared stories for some time, and after closing his phone Kevin started staring at the street through his window.


He told me many things, but the foolishness of signing important letters, was not conveyed. Kevin grabbed his own hair, put his head on his desk.

Kara is waiting for Kevin in his office lobby, he wants to surprise Kevin.


Kara contacted Henry earlier, to confirm Kevin's schedule first.


Kara stared at the simple lobby room, there was only a waiting chair and a large screen, the receptionist was a bit deep, so the guests could watch the outdoor scenery in the form of a flower garden.


Kara smiled looking at the blooming flowers. Kara exits the lobby, and heads to the park, taking the camera out of the bag and photographing some objects she finds interesting.


Kara is too engrossed in her activities, so that she does not realize the person she is waiting for is watching her from afar with a feeling of happiness.


"Have you been waiting for me?" kevin asked, making Kara surprised and stopping her activities.


Kara approached Kevin and hugged the man longingly.


"I don't know long or not, but I got some good pictures to put on my personal blog" Kara said happily.


"Why come all of a sudden? Not calling first?"


"Can't I see you in person? Or do you have someone other than me?" seduce Kara while looking into Kevin's nose in annoyance.


"I'm so glad you're here to see me, really, I don't want to misunderstand you anymore!" Kevin said seriously, making Kara anxious to see Kevin's frightened face Kara was really angry with him. Finally Kara laughed out loud which made Kevin look confused.


"I've made dinner for us, and I want to have dinner at your house!" Kara showed me the bag of food she had been carrying since.


"But the cookware in my place is incomplete."


"I have brought food so, stay on the heat. So we can just eat it straight away."


As they leave for the parking lot, Kevin opens the door for Kara and closes it again.


Kevin was driving the car with a happy feeling at the time, for a while he was able to forget some of the fatigue of his job.


Kara is busy punching radio channels, looking for good songs to enjoy throughout their journey.


They arrived at a minimalist home. Looks simple, but cool, because the left right many trees.


Kara floated her gaze in all directions while analyzing Kevin in terms of where he lived.


At first glance he feels dejavu, Kevin's residence at a glance similar to Josh's residence.


"Let's go in!" Invite Kevin to wake up Kara's daydream.


Kara carries her food in, towards the kitchen. He unloads his luggage and nimbly uses the kitchen utensils in Kevin's house.


Kevin looked at Kara who was busy from the dining table, his face looking very happy.
