Lily quickly wiped her tears then stood up and hurried toward the bed then continued packing her things, while Mira also wiped her tears and stood up from the couch.
Clara's brows furrowed and she glanced between the two people in a trance. She was about to say something when Mira suddenly engulfed her in a hug.
"Huh? Mira... What is wrong?" She chuckled and stared at her friend's teary eyes. Is it because of the argument they had before she entered the bathroom?
"Mira, I'm so sorry for yelling at you," she muttered apologetically with a deep sigh and Mira quickly shook her head.
"It's alright Clara... I'm also sorry for playing that kind of joke." She sighed inside and slowly released her friend from the hug then picked up her clothes where she had left them on the bed and walked inside the bathroom.
Clara sighed happily and walked toward the mirror then picked up a hairdryer and started drying her.
"Big Sis, about your new apartment... Jack had said that he'll help you find one... Until then, we'll live in his house when we go back," Lily said with a small smile and walked toward the closet then brought out her sister's luggage.
"Oh, okay." Clara nodded with a soft chuckle. She couldn't wait to resume work. 'Argh!' Mr. Long is going to be so mad at her. She can't believe she hadn't gone to work ever since she returned from the province.
Speaking about province__ she turned to her sister with a small gasp while her eyes widened slightly. "Lily, have you told Mum and Dad about your engagement with Jack?"
"Of course__ I forgot to tell you, " Lily replied softly with a chuckle and brought out a cloth for her sister. Their parents were very shocked at first, but after explaining everything to them, they finally came to terms with it. "Big Sis, they want to meet Jack... So after going back, I'll go there with him tomorrow."
"Okay... that's a relief." Clara beamed and nodded. She wished she could also follow them back but had to resume work tomorrow.
Sighing inside, she took the clothes from her sister and walked inside the bathroom again after Mira had come out.
Mira watched the closed door with a sigh then turned to Lily who smiled at her softly and she sighed again.
Walking toward the closet, she also brought out her luggage and started packing and after a while, three servants walked inside and took their luggages outside.
Clara walked out of the bathroom some minutes later, now dressed in her clothes. She quickly applied light make up then walked toward the bedside table and picked up the wristwatch.
After wearing it, she wore her shoes then picked up her bag and hurried out of the room.
Lily chuckled and shook her head and glanced at Mira who had on a confused expression then said, "She had to see Jack's Mum... to clarify the ghost's issue."
"Oh." Mira nodded and sighed inside then also picked her handbag. "We should go and wait for her in the car then," she muttered softly and the girl nodded.
"Let's go," Lily replied with a small smile then they silently walked out of the room.

Meanwhile, Clara hurried toward the other side of the mansion and a maid quickly walked toward her and led her through the large door.
She sighed inside and silently followed the maid upstairs while regretting following Mira's plan. She was also traumatized for God's sake. And would sometimes jump in fright whenever the horrible picture of her disguised as a ghost flash past her mind.
'Argh! That Greg.' She sighed exasperatedly at the thought of the guy who had applied the horrible makeup on her. 'or was it, George, again?' She scoffed inside. 'Hmph... whatever.'
She was still in her thoughts and suddenly heard the maid giggled then glanced sideways with a frown to see her smiling.
"Ma'am, your expression is so cute." The young maid covered her mouth to suppress another giggle while staring at the girl who had on dumbfounded expression.
"Oh." Clara chuckled awkwardly as her hand subconsciously wandered to her face.
"Ma'am, our Young Miss is really beautiful... She really took after you." She heard the maid continued as they walked through the silent hallway and she laughed softly.
"Although you don't look alike, you're both beautiful in your way," the maid added softly while glancing sideways at her cute face.
"Hehe... thank you," Clara replied with a smile as her tensed body slowly relaxed then softly asked," What's your name?"
"Genevieve ma'am," the young maid replied with a light smile.
"You're also beautiful Genevieve... Just like your name," Clara replied with a genuine smile and the maid muttered a "thank you" with a giggle.
They slowly walked through the hallway while chatting now and then, and Clara suddenly spotted Jack in front of a door.
The maid bid her goodbye and turned back then walked away, and Clara instantly rushed toward Jack, with a worried expression finally remembering what had brought her here.
"How's she?" She asked anxiously and Jack sighed heavily with a small smile.
"She's feeling better... Go inside, I'll go and join the girls in the car... The maid will come back to walk you back," he replied calmly and Clara nodded and watched as he walked away.
After he was out of her sight, she turned to face the door and heaved a deep sigh then slowly turned the doorknob.
'Is she really here... My son said that she's real, and she's in the mansion.'
'Yes, I also saw her several times... I thought she was a ghost.'
Clara could hear two voices that belonged to older women from the door. But those voices sound so excited. What is wrong? Isn't Jack's mother sick? She wondered with furrowed brows.
Inhaling deeply, she slowly pushed the door open and instantly found herself in a very spacious bedroom.
'Wow.' Her jaw dropped while her eyes darted around the room. 'It's so beautiful,' her expression slowly brightened but she was instantly dragged out of her thoughts by two gasps and her eyes landed on the bed.
