Chapter 36 Gift For Mark

[Mark's POV]

On the night of the birthday party, Rain didn't Return.

Although Mark was worried about Rain.

As he has to wake up early to work, so he slept.

But at 5 am, his phone rang like an alarm.

He checked that in, half-asleep.

There was the same notification from the same app and a message from the same person.

'Rain Holmes.' The sender of the message.

And the content was like…

"Good morning, I left a gift for you in my room. Collect it from Mark."

Rain was that much lazy that he sent the same message as everyone to Mark, too.

Seeing this message, Mark was confused.

After all, Rain had never told him anything about this.

After some confusion, he started walking toward Rain's room.

Soon, he arrived at the door of Rain's room. But nobody was there.

In the message, there is a written collect them from Mark. So Mark thought there will be other people too.

Mark waited for them at the door.

Soon, Charles, Carla, Emma, and Kaya came.

Although Mark was slightly surprised by seeing them, he almost expected that it might these people who will get Rain's gift.

After that, they entered Rain's room.

After entering the room, They saw that room was spotless, with no signs of anyone living there. There were no decorations, art pieces, or even photos on the walls. The color of the walls had been changed to white, giving the room a sterile, empty feeling.

The whole room looked like nobody lived there for some years.

It was neat and clean.

'How? When I came before, it was not like this.' Mark was shocked after seeing the condition of the room. He came to Rain's room every day to clean it, and when he was going to come here yesterday morning Rain told him that he will do it by himself.

'So this is the 'cleaning' that Young Master referred.' Mark mumbled.

There was an ordinary box in the middle of the room. Seeing that nobody was going to open that, Mark volunteered himself and opened the box. He was impatient to see what was there.

There were envelopes in the box.

Yes. there were five envelopes in the box with each one's name on them.

There was also written on them to open it alone.

Then every person in the room saw each other's faces and hurriedly left the room after taking an envelope with their name.

After getting an envelope with his name, Mark also left Rain's room.

Remembering Rain's tears and now clean room. He knew something was weird. So he quickly came to the staff dorms.

Every staff member of the Holmes Family lives here.

He gets into his room. It was an ordinary room still better than the room Rain lived in a previous life. Mark sat on his single bed and opened the envelope, there was only a paper and pen drive.

There was only one video in a pen drive.

He quickly started the video,

"Hello. Mark.

The one, You are seeing now, is Rain. Not Rain Holmes. Yeah, you have seen a massage, right? Now I am no longer a member of the Holmes Family.

So you are not my personal butler from now on."

Mark was shocked after hearing this.

"As you might have guessed, I break off with Holmes Family and I also canceled my engagement with Emma." Rain said.

"Now I'm also free. I can do what I want. Isn't it great?" Rain said it with enthusiasm.

"Oh, and that paper is a bank check, you will get 500 gold coins if you deposit it in the bank. Take this as my gratitude for all these years you were with me." Rain smiled, he was very grateful to Mark.

"I know you started working here from age of 10. After training until the age of 15, you became my personal butler. You are truly a man of few words. Sometimes I thought you can't speak. Fufu." Rain chuckled.

"But I know you were always worried about me." Mark was moved to tears after hearing this.

"Even if our relationship was just Master & servant. But you always respected me. You always followed me silently, watched me training hard silently. For standing alongside me, you also trained hard.

Now just take some rest. I am very thankful to you for all of this." Mark couldn't control his emotions, tears kept flowing from his eyes. The efforts he put into his job were never recognized. Although Mark never said it, he also wanted to be praised.

After that Rain just smiled and continued,

"Don't worry about your job. Dad will not fire you. If you want freedom, you can also resign. But I know you want to work with the head butler, your father. So All the best." Rain cheered for him.

"I know you don't have any friends.

So make some friends. Because you know being alone is hard." Rain made a wry smile.

"Umm.. you know Mark, I always wanted to become friends with you. If I get a second chance, will you become friends with me?"

At that time, the video ended.

Seeing the video, Mark just started crying and He answered like he was talking to Rain.

"Yes, Young Master… No. Rain."

Apparently, Mark is the son of the Head butler in the Holmes Family. So he had worked hard from childhood. From age of 10, he was working.

Although his father told him not to push too hard but Mark wanted to be like his father. His father raised him all alone.

He knew his mother died while giving him birth. He didn't know what was feeling of losing anyone however his father was all of his world.

So he tried hard to make him proud. Still, he never knew when he became alone.

Getting a friend like Rain was the best gift Mark could ever have.
