He told her everything was fine now (with that important jewelry guy), but it wasn't; that sexually harassing creep blacklisted REO from working in Japan, so he had to go overseas to work in modeling. He didn't want Hana to feel responsible (though he did it for her), so he lied, sait it was taken care of, and then disappeared.
