"I know. I know. Why are you so afraid of her?" Louisa bit her lip. She was so envious that she couldn't control her expressions. According to Louisa, only she was fit to live in such an opulent house. How she wished to attach her name to every corner of this house!
"I am not afraid of her! It's just bad to sneak into a room without the owner's permission." Claire's eyebrows scrunched together. A hint of embarrassment rose in her heart. Last time at Capital City, she had entered Leena's room without her consent. But back then, she had known that Leena was already inside. The situation was entirely different this time. Claire felt like that she was a thief.
"What do you mean, Claire? You think I'm doing something wrong? If you think so, let's get out of here, in case you put the blame on me once you get scolded by them," Louisa said. Her face became stern immediately. She just didn't know why Claire was so hesitant about this.
"Louisa, don't get angry! I did not mean that. I would never blame you!" Upon seeing Louisa's unhappy face, Claire reached out and patted Louisa's hands gently.
"I'm not angry with you. We have been friends for so many years, so I know you wouldn't do that." Louisa was deeply upset, but she had the sound mind not to choose such a moment to fall out with Claire. After all, she had not achieved her real purpose yet and still needed Claire's help.
"Thanks, Louisa. I know we are best friends. Besides, we are not here to quarrel with each other. Let's see what we can find in this room. Maybe we can start from her wardrobe. Let me see what kind of clothes she has." Claire had been shocked by the extraordinary dresses Leena wore the past two days, so she was first and foremost interested in Leena's wardrobe. Claire stepped forward and opened it, then promptly froze.
"I want to see it too." Following Claire's footsteps, Louisa went to the wardrobe too, sticking her head inside.
"Oh my god! I can't believe my eyes," Claire finally could find her voice. "These dresses belong to the most famous labels in the world. It appears that most of them are limited editions too. Louisa, pinch me. Pinch me so hard that I can convince myself I'm dreaming." Claire was astounded at the high-end, fashionable clothes in the wardrobe. She screamed internally, knowing that they cost a lot of money. Claire could estimate her brother's wages and knew it would have been impossible for Kevin to afford the luxury. The only explanation was that Leena bought these clothes with her own money. But how could Leena afford all of these? She was only a freelancer and should not have such a high salary. Where did she get so much money from?
"Why should I pinch you? Do you like getting hurt?" Louisa asked her weakly. Truthfully, she was surprised too. Unlike Claire, she wasn't interested in high-end clothes, but the fact that Leena's and Kevin's clothes were hung up side by side. Such intimacy made her feel jealous enough. Louisa had the sudden impulse to destroy the wardrobe, tear Leena's clothes into pieces and hang her own clothes there instead.
