Louisa several times walked back and forth in the living room of her house. She really didn't even notice that she had been doing that since half an hour ago. Biting the fingers on the palm of her right hand, Louisa looked quite worried. She had absolutely no end in thinking about the message Julian had sent that afternoon. As for Henry, he just silently watched Louisa there.
"Aren't you feels tired or dizzy from walking back and forth like that, Babe??" Henry asked again. He didn't even remember how long, he had asked Louisa about the same thing.
Louisa stopped walking, and looked at Henry. Then he took a deep breath. "I know. I have already feel tired and dizzy. It's just... gosh, why can't I think of anything right now. Henry, I can't think of all the possibilities Julian is referring to in that letter. On the other hand, I don't want to believe him at all, but on the other hand, I feel like there's a truth he wants to reveal, it's just that he probably doesn't know how to tell all of it…"
Louisa immediately sat next to Henry, and Henry immediately put his arm around Louisa's shoulders. "Calm down, Louisa. I myself do not know whether to believe in the contents of the letter or not. What's more, considering how Julian behaved in your past, I probably wouldn't trust him easily." Henry paused and looked at Louisa. It also directly made Louisa turn to Henry and look at him.
'I know, I may not know who the real Julian is. It's just, after seven years you two haven't seen each other, and he's the one who sent you such a letter. It would be good to keep a close eye on Julian, Louisa. He's been in prison for five years, and was released two years ago. For two years looking for a loophole to be able to meet you, and he managed to do it. I feel there is a gap that he did with some intention. Although I also don't know if it's a positive or a negative thing."
Louisa lowered her head. 'I know…" She mumbled. Confirming what Henry said there. "It's just that I can't stop myself from thinking about all of that. I feel that there are many secrets in my life that I don't even know about it yet. I always felt there was a big, dark gap. But I don't know how to find that loophole, Henry."
"Then, let's find the gap together." Henry muttered, and made Louisa lift her head and look at each other. 'We can find out what things might have been gaps in your life in the past. I'm sure, if we can find it together, we'll soon find out what it is."
A second later Louisa had a small smile on her face. "Yeah, let's find out together about it then."
"Where do you think we should start then?" Henry asked, and shifted his embrace from Louisa's shoulder into a tight grip on Louisa's right palm.
Louisa was silent, thinking for a moment. "There's one thing I still want to make clear, Henry. But this time, I want to do it just by myself." Louisa answered with a mumble. Her eyes looked very sure now.
Henry furrowed his brows deeply, and looked very curiously at Louisa. "And what is it about then?"
Louisa looked at Henry with a deep look. "I'm going to the prison, to see Jane."
"Jane??" Henry muttered. It's a little unbelievable, because it's been a long time since Louisa didn't talk about Jane after the day that Jane went to prison.
Louisa nodded her head briefly. "I know and I believe that nothing has happened between you and Jane at all. I just wanted to find out what reason Jane had for setting the Tomkins House data center building on fire that day. What's more, I haven't been to the prison once since the day Jane was put in prison." Louisa explained.
"In that case, okay. I will come with you then right?" Henry was determined. He himself also felt very curious about Jane's real reason.
Louisa gripped Henry's palm tightly. "Then, tomorrow we will go there together."

Louisa silently stared at the police building in front of her. This morning, she and Henry decided to actually come to the police building, where Jane is currently being held. Henry looked at Louisa. 'Are you sure you can really do it? I can accompany you inside together if you want…" Henry muttered to Louisa worriedly. He had absolutely no idea what Jane would say to Louisa later. What's more, Henry himself hasn't even told Louisa the slightest bit about his contract as a bodyguard from his agency. He hoped that everything would go well. He really hoped it would always happen.
Louisa turned her head and looked at Henry, then slowly started to put a big smile on her face. 'Of course, I can Babe. Don't worry, and if anything happens I'll be sure to get back to you right away and tell you everything. Didn't you always say that everything would be all right?" Henry nodded his head, confirming what Louisa had just said there.
"Okay. I'll be right inside, and... you know, Henry. Whenever I get tensed about doing something, what comes to my mind is kissing you. And right now I really want to kiss you, Henry…" Louisa spoke quite loudly. Her face looks so innocent with an adorable facial expression. Her eyes even widened and an awkward smile appeared on her face right now.
This immediately made Henry smile broadly as he looked at Louisa's face right now. "Then why are we both like this?" Henry asked in a tone that sounded a little joking there. His right palm lifted and cupped the side of Louisa's face, and gently rubbed it. "I want to. Then kiss me, Louisa." Henry mumbled there.
Without saying a word, Louisa brought her face closer to Henry's, then started kissing Henry's lips slowly. They kiss. Both of Louisa's palms lifted and tightly gripped the t-shirt that Henry was wearing, while Henry again cupped Louisa's face using his two big palms. Before long, they broke the kiss, then laughed a little ridiculously. The two of them had never felt this way at all. Smiling silly at each other, after kissing. It's like one of those things that teenagers who are in love do.
"Okay, I have to get in there quickly, before we both get caught kissing in the car, right in front of the police station." Louisa muttered with a chuckle after that. It also made Henry laugh after hearing it.
Louisa then immediately prepared to get out of the car, and walked with her two fast feet into the police building there. 'Excuse me, I want to see Jane Miller. My name is Louisa Tomkins, Jane's former boss at Tomkins House." Louisa explained to one of the officers guarding there.
"Okay, let me take you to her cell." The policeman walked ahead of Louisa, to be able to show the way to the prison cell where Jane was being held.
Louisa followed him at a slow pace. She tightened her fists which were at her sides. She began to glare, when she realized she was getting closer to Jane's cell. Not long after, Louisa and the police officer arrived in front of a cell. Where Jane is seen lying on a thin bed in the prison cell. "Jane Miller, I have a visit for you." Said the police officer towards Jane.
"Okay then, Miss Tomkins. Then, I'll excuse myself first." The police officer immediately turned around and left, leaving Louisa there. Louisa just nodded her head faintly and briefly there.
Louisa then looked straight at Jane who started to get up from her lying position on the bed. Looks not at all excited there. Jane looked at Louisa in surprise. 'Miss Louisa..." She mumbled. Can't believe Louisa's coming there at all. Right in front of her right now.
Louisa was silent. But she started to walk slowly to get closer to Jane's cell there. Likewise with Jane who was also getting closer to Louisa there. 'Miss Louisa… I-I… I really didn't mean to…"
"Why???" Louisa cut off Jane's words there. Louisa asked in her voice that sounded very cold. It can't be denied that Louisa is still angry and disappointed with Jane to this day. However, she had to suppress the emotion of anger that was starting to enter all parts of her body at this very moment.
Jane looked even more depressed. She even started to lower his head quite deeply. Not knowing what to do or say to Louisa right now there. Meanwhile, Louisa who saw this immediately felt impatient. 'Tell me, Jane, why? Why are you doing all these things to me and to the Tomkins House company? Why did you betray my trust so badly, that I never even intended to see your face for once again." Louisa asked in a slightly harsh tone of voice.
'I'm really sorry, Miss Louisa. It's just, I feel depressed. I didn't even realize what I had done. And I really regret that. Really." Jane answered haltingly.
"And I'm sure that's not what you would say, Jane. I saw how confident you were when you decided to burn down the Tomkins House corporate data center building that day. Tell me, Jane." Louisa drew herself closer to the holding cell. Louisa tries to depress Jane, and uncovers everything. That was one way he could do it right now.
'Tell me, what is the real reason for everything that already you do. Whether it's on your own volition, on someone else's orders, or anything related between you and Henry. Tell me right now, Jane!!!"
'I fell in love with Henry so badly, and I tried to make him realize that our job is to protect you from someone. And Henry ruined our employment contract when he really fell in love with you, Miss Louisa. I feel angry and betrayed, because we worked for the same agency and big boss, and he fell in love with you, which is never allowed to be done. This all happened because Henry fell in love with you, Miss. If only Henry hadn't fallen in love with you, maybe our employment contract would have stayed the same. And I'm not going to turn to working with someone else to slowly destroy Tomkins House, by burning down the data center building."
Louisa was silent for a moment. "Was the fire on the orders of Mr. George?" Louisa tried to convince herself.
Jane widened her eyes. She was completely oblivious to what she had just said. She was too angry and depressed over everything that was happening right now. 'Miss Louisa… I…" She didn't dare to answer.
"Just say it out loud, Jane. Whether the burning of the data center building of the Tomkins House company at that time was an order from Mr. George Tomkins??" Louisa asked again, with her voice full of emphasis.
Then slowly, Jane nodded her head. "Yes, Miss. That's right. The one who asked me to be able to burn down the data center building of Tomkins House was Mr. George. George Tomkins." Jane replied in a mumbling tone of voice.
Louisa sighed. She was really sure of that. Of course, it is absolutely impossible if Mr. George was not a part of all the things that happened a while ago. Given how hard Mr. George to get Louisa to cut ties with Henry beforehand. Then this is all true. That George Tomkins was the man behind the data center building fire. After that, Louisa looked back at Jane.
"Then who is the big boss that you and Henry under the agency's employment contract?" Louisa asked. Moreover, considering that Henry couldn't say all these things to herself, Louisa felt even more curious about it.
'I can't say that, Miss Louisa. I know Henry himself wouldn't have said anything about our employment contract either. But there is something you should know, Miss Louisa." Jane paused, and made Louisa even more puzzled.
'If you had known everything now… you might have lost Henry. The contract left us shackled and bound. So it is absolutely not possible to be able to escape from the contract. Moreover, I've rebelled against that contract, and made a huge mistake…. Maybe this will be the last day you see me, Miss Louisa."
