"Clara, he only likes you... Can't you see how he's trying so hard to make you fall for him?"
"Yes." Mira nodded then gazed at her gloomily. "Please, give him a chance... okay? I really miss my boyfriend and you're the only one that can make Big brother forgive him," She muttered with a sigh and dropped her head.
"Huh?" Clara stared at her in confusion. "How am I the only one that could make him forgive your boyfriend?"
"Of course, he's currently angry with everyone because you're mad at him."
"Yes Clara, Ken even told me that he had been working himself tirelessly and it is not so good for his health." Maya seconded with a nod then her eyes darted to the girl's phone whose light was on and she quickly snatched it.
"Hey, give me my phone," Clara exclaimed and watched helplessly as the girl tapped rapidly into the phone.
"Clara!?" Maya sighed exasperatedly as she watched the many calls the guy had made to her friend which were unanswered. 'Poor guy.'
Clara glanced at both girls who were now glaring at her and she slowly shifted on the bed while biting her lips. She was about to say something when the door suddenly opened then sighed in relief as Lucy and Gina rushed inside while holding snacks and soft drinks.
"Hehehe... sister-in-law, this is all for you." Lucy sat down beside her and instantly started feeding her the snack.
"Yes, sister-in-law... Do you want anything else? Should I bring you more snacks?" Gina also sat down beside her and quickly uncapped the juice bottle.
"Oh." Clara chuckled and slowly shook her head, then glanced at Maya and Mira who were shoved aside by the girls and were still glaring at her.
She sighed inside and took the snacks from Lucy's hands then said, "Lucy, thank you for the wristwatch... It is really beautiful."
"Oh, hehe." Lucy chuckled while nodding her head then her eyes lit up. "If you want, I'll give you more wristwatches__ yes, and also jewelries, what else do you want? Quick quick tell me," She asked excitedly while hugging her arm and Clara chuckled softly then shook her head.
"Thanks, Lucy, I'm okay with that," She said softly while her hand subconsciously patted the girl's hair.
"Okay, if you want more just tell me okay?" Lucy giggled then took a portion of the snack from the plate and started eating.
After taking the juice from Gina with a smile, Clara muttered a thanks and glanced back again at her friends who had started whispering to each other and she wondered what they're talking about with a frown.
Lucy who had been admiring her face for some seconds giggled softly. She still couldn't believe her sister-in-law is actually her cousin.
Clara turned to the girl who had suddenly giggled then smiled at her lightly.
And shortly after, the snack plate was empty, with Lucy and Gina eating most of it. The girls instantly stood up and hurried out of the room, after saying that they will come back later with more snacks.
Both Mira and Maya sighed in relief and they returned to the bed, to investigate the girl, so as to confirm the intuition they just had.
"Clara, how do you see Big brother?" Mira suddenly asked and Clara glanced between the girls confusedly, wondering why they are not mad at her anymore.
"Yes, Clara... Aren't you attracted to him even a bit,?" Maya also asked while watching her friend's expression carefully.
"Oh." Clara chuckled awkwardly and slowly lowered her head while scratching the back of her neck.
"C..l..a..r..a,? I know that look" Maya sang mischievously and Mira nodded with a brightened expression.
"Are you falling for him already?" She asked carefully and watched as the girl's cheeks slowly turned to a shade of pink.
"Well... I... I." Clara fiddled with the hem of her blouse, not daring to meet the girls' mischievous gazes.
"Clara? Answer us."
"Yes, Clara... how do you feel about him?"
Both Mira and Maya glanced at each other with excitement and Clara covered her ears.
"Argh! Leave me alone." She sighed exasperatedly and after the girls quieted down, sighed in relief.
"Uhm... Actually, I don't really know yet, I'm confused," She said slowly while looking down, then heard her friends' chuckles.
"You're really hopeless Clara." Maya shook her head and chuckled again. The guy had entirely caged her friend's heart. She was sure that even in their next lifetime, they would be reborn as lovers.
Mira also laughed again and held Clara's arm. "You just need a little more time my dear friend, I'm sure Big brother has already captured your heart."
Clara stared at them helplessly then glanced at her phone which Maya had already dropped beside her. She sighed inside, then picked it up and shoved it inside her bag.
"Mira, so about being my model, what are your qualifications?" Maya suddenly asked while giving the girl a scrutinizing look.
Mira chuckled then stood up proudly. "I am beautiful of course and I'm very sure that you can't find anyone prettier," She replied with a smirk then twirled around and Maya laughed heartily.
The girl is really beautiful, 'Hehehe.' She couldn't believe she had just snagged a model and free of charge.
Her attention turned to Clara who is seemingly deep in her thoughts again and her eyes lit up then she started chuckling.
"Huh?" Clara snapped out of her reverie after hearing her friend's chuckle. She watched her mischievous expression and quickly shook her head with wide eyes.
"Don't even think about it Maya, there's no way I'm going to be your model," she said hurriedly while glaring at the girl.
"Argh! Come on Clara... Hmph, whatever." Maya rolled her eyes and sighed helplessly, already anticipating hearing that answer. She wondered why her friend does not like appearing in public.
Maybe she inherited it, as she had also heard that her real mother also kept a very low profile when she was still alive.
