I turned the knob around but turned back at him before opening the door.
“Thankyou Mr. Scott for everything. And goodbye.” I said and opened the door and left walking towards my cabin.
Entering inside my cabin, the first thing I did was to check if he still had the shield on and it was indeed on. The next thing I did was to walk towards the trashcan in the room and to tear and throw the check in it. The whole time I felt like someone was watching me, but I couldn’t be sure when he has had the shield on. If my intuition is right then it can be no one else but him, but if it was wrong which I am sure it is, then it is just that, a feeling.
In the next half an hour I have packed everything from my cabin and gave it a one last look and his cabin a last look too before walkinh towards Raven.
She stood up and walked towards me while I went and kept the things on her table. We hugged each other tightly, I took the strength I felt from her hug as much as I could. I am going to need it till I reach home to not break down in front of his company with thousands of cameras at every corner. We said our goodbyes and the usual to keep in touch statement and I left to walk towards the elevator.
As I entered in the elevator I looked towards the whole floor and his door particularly, I sighed deeply as I watched the view getting narrower and narrower.

As I walked towards the car I heard a door closing sound. I turned around to see the person behind the sound, to see Mark, Mr. Scott’s driver walking towards me.
I kept the things in the backseat preparing myself for yet another emotionally draining conversation.
“Before you say the usual, please get back together or that this is going to pass bullshits. Let me tell you that nothing is going to turn back to the way it was.” I rambled not wanting to hear another person trying to give me hope in this horrendous situation.
He just listened, gave me a small smile, and hugged me. I returned the hug and ended the hug before I melted into the warmth that was radiating from him.
“I am not going to say none of that Ma’am.” He started but stopped seeing me glare at him. “Sorry Ms. Marshal or Ms.-”
“It is just Ms. Marshal.” I rudely interrupted him but gave him an apologetic smile when I realized I was just venting onto the poor man, to which he just returned a smile as well.
“One day everything will be fine. Might not be today or tomorrow but one day it will. And I hope at that time you will be able to look back to these memories and smile at the time that had passed.” He said.
I nodded thankfully and gave him a hug once more before we said our goodbyes and both of us were on our ways.
The whole way home only one thing was on my mind.
Hopefully that one day comes sooner before I lose myself in this process.
