"Claire, you mad at me? Come on! We're friends." It was not the right time to fall out with Claire, so Louisa decided to pacify her. She still needed her.
"No," Claire answered in a cold voice. A note of discord sounded between Claire and Louisa. Claire couldn't understand why Louisa turned so stubborn and mean.
"I know you're mad at me. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. We've got the whole day together. I don't want you to be mad the whole day. Last time when we went out shopping, you had your eyes set on a dress. How about this? I'll buy the dress for you," Louisa said as she gave Claire a sweet smile. If Leena bought her off, maybe Louisa could buy her back.
"No need for that. I'm not angry. Hey, is that your friend? Why is she waiting for us outside?" Claire asked in confusion as she saw Louisa's friend zipping back and forth in front of a building.
"I don't know either. Is it because we are too late?" Louisa pulled over and was about to get out, but her friend rushed to them immediately.
"What are we gonna do, Louisa? We borrowed a room to practice in, but the company we borrowed it from refuses to let us in. We have no place to practice. What can we do?" The woman was breathless, and the words spilled out in a jumble. She was obviously distraught. She looked like she was about 20 years old. Her features were soft and delicate, skin flawless, with a gorgeous s-line.
"No way! How can they just break their promise like that? They promised to lend us the room! Why do this? A company like this will go broke sooner or later!" Louisa yelled angrily, feeling both upset and enraged.
"Well, actually it has nothing to do with the company. One of my friends works there, and she took advantage of her position to lend me the space. But now, they need the room themselves. I can't blame her for that." It seemed that Louisa's friend was a sensible girl, unlike Louisa herself.
"What are we gonna do now? Go back home?" Louisa got really frustrated. She had thought she would become famous this time. This was her chance to shine.
"You have a lot of friends, right, Louisa? Can't you call your friends and ask one of them to lend us the space?" The
herself like this, but she needed the favor. She cursed Claire and Leena both. It it weren't for them...
"Okay, I'll try, but no promises." Claire sighed with profound resignation and took out her cell phone reluctantly. Her fingers hovered over the keys, but she hesitated.
"Alright. We won't blame you if it doesn't work out." Louisa was thrilled when Claire was willing to help.
"How about we not practice today? I think I need to talk to Leena face to face. I don't think this will work, though. She and Kevin are my legal guardians. That doesn't cover living alone." Claire hesitated when she was about to dial the number. Though Leena might already know Claire had a thing for Rain, Claire got the sense that Leena wanted to talk to her about it.
"What do you think of her suggestion, Pola?" Louisa turned to her friend. She thought Claire's words made perfect sense. Even if Leena agreed to lend her the house, Claire had to go home to fetch the keys.
"All right. Let's take a break for today. We'll see each other after we get the space." Pola had no other choice but to agree with them. She bid them goodbye and turned to leave.
"What? We're going back now? But I just told Kevin that we were hanging out today." Claire widened her eyes in disbelief. If she came home now, Kevin would realize that she had lied to him. This plan of theirs just dug a deeper and deeper hole, and Claire was afraid she might not be able to climb out.
