Chapter 1097: Sneaking Into Leena's Bedroom (part two)

"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.

"No! Of course I don't like getting hurt. I am just shocked to see such fashionable clothes. All of these are high-end, not just one or two of them. They are all from famous designers. And all are very expensive!" Claire still could not believe her eyes. This must be a mistake. She must be inside of a dream right now.

"What are you two doing here?" A harsh voice suddenly sounded. Claire and Louisa, who were still in shock at seeing the wardrobe, were shocked again.

"Hi, Kevin. You're back," Louisa responded faintly, dropping her head. She felt embarrassed at being caught by him for a second time. She wished she could dig a hole right there and hide in it. Her face turned pale, and she didn't know how to explain herself out of this situation.

"Kevin, I am sorry! I just wanted to see if there is any evening dress in Leena's wardrobe appropriate for me. I asked Louisa to help me select one, and that's why we are here." Although Claire was a bit dull when it came to most things, she made a good excuse this time.

"Why are you looking for a dress? Did you ask your sister-in-law for permission before you barged in here?" Kevin cast Louisa a cold glance. He didn't expect to see her here. Leena didn't tell him about her coming today when he was downstairs.

"Louisa asked me to go to a friend's party with her! So, of course, I must wear an evening dress. She asked me when we were already upstairs, so I didn't have the chance to get Leena's permission." Claire kept rubbing her feet together, fearing that her elder brother would find out that she was lying.

"Claire, that's all right this time. But next time, I hope you can get Leena's approval before touching her things. You need to learn how to respect others!" Kevin took off his military coat and threw it on the bed casually. He never paid much attention to Leena's clothes or ever asked her their cost, but based on his understanding of her, he knew her clothes were branded and very expensive.

Oh, yes. I see. Uh, we should go downstairs." Claire stuck out her tongue behind his back. Fortunately, Kevin was in good mood today and did not scold her too much. She had better run away before he changed his mind.

Yes. Go downstairs and help Leena for a while. You have grown up now. Why are you still so immature?" Kevin frowned and picked up the briefcase he just put down. Due to the week-long vacation, he had a lot of pending work to do. A lot of documents needed to be reviewed. Although he spent all his time working on them today, he could not finish them all. So he brought the documents home. Fortunately, these were not confidential documents so he could bring them home with him. He did not need to stay at the army base all evening to work on them.

As soon as Claire and Louisa got Kevin's approval, they rushed out of the room. They didn't want him to change his mind at the last second. He was so serious in his manner and his voice that few people could stand fearlessly before him. Louisa and Claire did not want to experience such pressure again.
