"Can't you just say it was canceled for some certain reason? You are an adult person! How come you know so little about strategies? How haven't you been killed for being an idiot?" chided Louisa while she glowered at Claire. In Louisa's eyes, Claire was but a stupid woman. She was fortunate to be born to a wealthy family. If not, silly as she was, no men would ever have interest in her, let alone marry her.
"I..." Claire tried to defend herself but then gave in and remained quiet. She had a feeling that it was no good for her to quarrel with Louisa.

Don't delay it," said Louisa with a snort. Her tone was filled with contempt. It was clear that she didn't treat Claire as a friend.
"Oh, I see," Claire answered in a low spirit. She didn't even take much offense from Louisa's attitude. It was okay for Louisa not to send her home. She could just always call a cab and afford it.
"I gotta go, Pola. Catch you later." With that said, Louisa waved goodbye with Pola and got back into her car.
"See you!" Pola waved back. Then she turned her glance to Claire and flashed an apologetic smile.
Leena had just finished her breakfast when Claire reached the Grand Apartment. She was surprised to see Claire at this hour.
"Claire, weren't you out to have fun with some friends? Why are you back so early?" Leena asked in a surprised voice.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Yes, I was. We had to cancel the plan because of some sudden incident though. Where is my brother? Is he out?" Claire answered as she removed her shoes. action
"Yep. Someone gave him a call earlier and he headed out. He said that he has some emergencies that he needs to handle. Anyway, I didn't expect you to be back so
't feel for her the same way.
"Villa? You must be kidding!" Claire was more than excited to hear that. In this way, her task would be perfectly handled.
"Of course not! It is a new house and we haven't moved in yet. We've already decorated it and stored every necessity one needs there though, so you can move in anytime. The only problem is that Kevin and I will be worried about you if you stay there alone. The villa is far away from our house. I'm afraid that I won't be able to take good care of you if you are that out of reach." Leena was a little worried. After all, Claire wasn't a good cook and she would easily starve herself. She wouldn't be able to tend to her needs if she was that far.
"Come on! I can take care of myself! I'll dine outside or order some take-out food when I'm hungry. It's going to be fine, I promise! I just want to be alone for a few days, not isolate myself with the rest of the world." Claire's eyes flickered as she spoke. She tried her best not to stutter as Leena might find out that she was lying, just in case.
"Well, you still have to ask Kevin. I can't make the decision alone." Leena placed the dishes on the table for Claire. She didn't have the least doubt in her words.
