"Your lady boss over exhausted herself and fainted." Jason replied in a monotonous voice, masking the whirlwind of emotions that was going on in his mind.
"Will she be alright?" Alex asked in a worried tone.
"Yeah. She needed some proper rest to let her body relax." Jason paused before continuing.
"But if she is to continue at this rate, it won't be simple fainting next time. If possible, try to convince her to slack off a little. Or else no one can save her." Jason replied before turning and leaving for his room.
Victor signalled Rose, who instantly followed behind Jason while Alex left the room as well, intending to let his lady boss have some peaceful rest.
"Jason." Rose called out, hoping that Jason would stop.
But instead, he increased his pace, walking straight towards his bedroom.
Rose literally had to run in order to stop the shutting door and enter the room behind Jason.
"What's wrong with Second sister? There is more to it than just fainting, right?" Rose asked while catching her breath.
Jason paused in his tracks, but didn't turn back, unable to make himself face Rose.
"Tell me Jason!" Rose literally shouted at Jason, something she had never done in the past.
"Diamond. Huhh." Jason said before taking slow steps towards his bed, ultimately sitting on it.
"She is suffering from depression." Jason said after some time, as if contemplating whether he wanted to share this piece of information with the rest of his team or not.
"What!! This can't be true… no.. Second sister and.. and depression? No!!" Rose spoke in a louder tone while strongly shaking her head, as if she was convincing herself rather than telling Jason.
Jason just kept quiet, his own thoughts running at a speed no less than of light.
"Jason, you know that the Second Sister has got such strong willpower! If she decides to do something, nobody can stop her from doing so. She has always been one of the supportive pillars whenever our team was down. How can she be depressed? No no, you must have misunderstood her. A person as strong as second sister can never suffer something like that!" Rose spoke up again, finally managing to make Jason speak.
"A person as strong as Second sister? Don't be silly Rose. Look at Diamond carefully. Do you still think that she is still the same second sister that accompanied us to all those missions?" Jason questioned, to which Rose had no answer.
"We have long lost that Diamond who used to stand like an ice queen even when death faced her. But the one living in front of you is just trying to present herself as her previous self. She is empty from inside. That bastard Markus had simply left an empty shell for us to protect!" Jason replied, his anger taking the best of him.
Rose just stood there frozen, rooted to the ground, unable to make any moments while tears rolled down her face.
Both of them stayed the same for time unknown, not knowing how to react.
Finally Rose wiped her tears away, taking a much needed deep breath before looking straight at Jason.
"I don't know about you all, but I am not going to let my Second sister fall into depression. No matter what it takes, but I will cheer her up again." Rose said in a determined tone, before leaving Jason's room.
Jason just looked at the closed door, knowing that if it was Rose, then they had some hopes.
Meanwhile Victor and Harry were still sitting beside Kizy, worried that she might wake up suddenly and run away.
"You both can go. I will stay with her." Rose said while walking towards the trio.
"No, we will wait." Harry said instantly, without even thinking for a moment.
"Okay. I think First brother, at least you should go. I won't be allowing Second sister to leave for the office tomorrow. So can you go to the company tomorrow instead of her?" Rose asked.
Victor contemplated for a minute, before finally nodding his head.
"Ok. I will go. Take care of her and if something happens, call me immediately." Victor said before getting up.
"Hmmm." Rose nodded in response.
Both she and Harry stayed for the night but Kizy didn't wake up. After all her body was dead tired and needed this rest desperately. Hence it was trying to compensate for all those sleepless nights by this sleep.
*7 AM, HALL, MARKUS's HOUSE*
Kizy stirred a little before opening her eyes, feeling her body sore. She turned around only to see Rose staring at her while Harry had fallen asleep near her sofa, his hand holding hers.
Kizy gave a questioning gaze to Rose before all the memories from last night came running back to her.
Kizy instantly turned her head to the other side, feeling guilty for her actions.
"Look at me!" Rose said in a serious tone.
Kizy turned slightly before trying to signal Rose to not speak anything.
"You will wake him up." Kizy said in a low tone, worried that Harry would wake up from their voice.
"Let him wake up then. I don't care!" Rose said, her voice even more stern now.
"First sister, can you be any louder?" Harry spoke in a sleepy voice while scratching his head, moving some more before getting up.
"I need to talk with you. Should I speak here or go somewhere else?" Rose asked.
"My room?" Kizy asked, knowing that Rose was dead serious and she could not avoid her anymore.
"Let's go then." Rose said before getting up and walking ahead, without even waiting for Kizy.
"What about me?" Harry asked, confused about what was going on.
"Stay right here and ask the kitchen to cook a healthy meal." Rose said before walking up the stairs, followed by Kizy, who had shrunken herself completely to minimize her presence.
