His assistant sighed and took the bottle which was half empty from him. " Then what about..." He trailed off while watching him sluggishly retrieving something from his pocket.
Jack stared dazedly at the white paper then unfolded it slowly and a soft chuckle escaped his lips. " Her... she reminds me so much of someone__ her intelligence. She could just glance at you and instantly know what you're thinking."
Eric stared at the white paper that contained pictures of flowers in shock. " Is that person she reminds you about your childhood friend?" He asked softly. Although he didn't know what happened between his boss and Carl, he still believes that__
" Yeah." Jack cut him out of his thoughts with a nod while his face broke into a sad smile. " She reminds me so much of him ".
" Oh." His assistant nodded in understanding and sighed inside then his thoughts wandered to the girl he had caught him glancing at a while ago. " Is it the girl with glasses?" He asked softly and Jack slowly nodded with a sigh.
" Then, do you like her?" The assistant asked again and watched as his boss's grip loosened on the paper.
" Lily?" Jack muttered softly and a small smile appeared on his lips. After gulping another glass of wine, he slowly shook his head and turned to face his assistant. " I'm confused, Eric. . . I'm confused." He sighed heavily and his assistant also sighed with him.
He could see that his boss was torn between the girls. " Sir, why don't you__"
" The engagement is tomorrow's morning. . . It's too late." Jack dropped down the empty bottle and laid his head on the counter with both arms supporting it.
His assistant sighed heavily and slightly patted his shoulder. He knew he was just doing this because of his mother and he could also see that the young lady too__
His head snapped to the door's direction which had suddenly opened and then his pupils widened slightly.
" Y..Young Miss, " he stammered and watched as the lady slowly walked toward them.
Freya plastered a soft smile on her face while her eyes darted around the room. " Uncle had always told me about brother's playroom... didn't expect it to be this magnificent, " she muttered with a chuckle and stopped beside Jack.
Eric's gaze also landed on his boss and he sighed in relief, seeing that he had fallen asleep.
" Can you please help me take him back?" Freya asked him with a small smile while trying to hold Jack up.
" Oh, Sure." Eric nodded and looked between her and Jack then stood up with a sigh.

__ That Evening __
Walking toward the bed after taking a magenta dress from the closet, Clara sat down beside her friend who was busily typing on her phone and would giggle now and then.
" Hehe, Mira... who are you texting?" She asked while trying to sneak a peek at the phone.
" Zach of course." Mira chortled then turned back to her phone and said, " Clara, don't you miss Big Brother? Here take my phone and give him a call."
" Huh?"
Clara stared at her with knitted brows and shrugged. Then she turned back to the dress.
" Mira, we don't have time to lose... Quick put on your dress."
" Oh."
Putting down the phone, Mira frantically nodded then stood up and hurried toward the closet.
Lily who was quietly staring out of the window with both hands on her chin frowned slightly from their commotion then she slowly turned back.
" Big Sis, what are you guys up to?"
" Hehe, it's nothing Lily... We don't want to miss the dinner party, I think people are already there... that's all." Clara glanced back at her with a chuckle while struggling with the dress zipper.
Watching her sister's expression, Lily slowly shook her head with a sigh then glanced at Mira who was also putting on her dress.
She walked toward her sister then slowly helped her zip the dress.
" Big Sis, please don't do anything funny okay, " she said softly, then heard her sister's gasp.
Clara quickly nodded with another chuckle. " Of course Lily... We're just excited to attend the dinner. can't wait to taste the different kinds of cuisines... I heard one of the servants saying that a chef is specifically invited for this even... right Mira?"
"Yeah... We're just excited about the food Lily." Mira chuckled then walked toward Clara with an oversized bag.
Giving her a knowing look, she turned to Lily and glanced down at her dress. " Lily, aren't you coming with us?"She asked with furrowed brows.
"No... I'm a little bit tired." Lily slowly shook her head with a soft smile then walked toward the bed and sat down after retrieving her book from the bedside table.
"Okay."
"Okay."
Both Clara and Mira nodded with a sigh of relief then glanced at each other and quickly left the room.

They strode through the narrow hallway that contained doors line at both sides which led to the guestrooms.
Mira suddenly paused in her steps and Clara also paused with her.
"Clara..., we need to find somewhere for you to change."
"What!?" Clara gasped and splayed a hand on her chest.
"Aren't you the one that will act out the__"
"Shhh!" Mira instantly stopped her and smiled at the people walking past them.
"You should be the one to do it... I have other things to take care of," She said firmly and remembered the issue at hand.
"I think we should ask one of the servants for the public restroom__"
" Clara!?" She exclaimed as her gaze followed the girl who had suddenly dashed away.
Clara panted heavily while her eyes were fixed on the two familiar figures walking ahead of her.
"Hehe." This is such a lucky coincidence remembering what they had done to her.
"Ouch!"
"Ouch!"
The two guys exclaimed as their ears were suddenly grabbed from behind.
They turned around angrily. However, in the next second, their eyes instantly widened while their jaws dropped.
"Claire!?"
"Claire!?"
They both exclaimed at the same time and Clara chuckled then gripped them tighter, making the twins bent slightly as they were taller than her.
