Jay was someone who hated noise, so he shut the windows tightly upon entering.
Unfortunately...
Sounds of clanging pots and bowls were heard from next door along with Josephine's random singing of rock tunes.
Jay took two balls of cotton and plugged one into each of his ears.
After some time, Josephine's singing finally ended.
Just as Jay removed the cotton balls...
Rose’s voice was heard.
The problem was, it was not an unbearable sound but a sound that could kill... It sounded like a crying ghost who could not catch her breath.
Jay sat on the bed wondering if it was a good thing that Angelina's soul had transmigrated into Rose's body.
His Angelina had the voice of an angel, but Rose did not!
While Jay was in his thoughts, the room next door fell into an abrupt silence.
Even the surroundings became quiet.
Jay took a look at his watch that showed it was 11 at night.
'What sort of carefree lives are these two adult children living?
'I still need to work tomorrow!'
Perhaps he could sense her presence nearby, so Jay's chronic insomnia was cured. As sleep began to envelop him, he could hear some whispered discussion going on next door.
"Josephine, I'm planning to look for a job tomorrow."
"Why do you need to work? I'll feed you," Josephine announced.
"I need to save up for my plastic surgery." Sadness could be heard in Rose's voice.
Josephine was taken aback for a moment and later said, "Don't worry. Worst comes to worst, I'll sneak into Tourmaline Estate and steal my jewelry to sell them off."
