"What are you talking about, Louisa? Leena and Gerard are friends. I know they hang out together but that doesn't mean they have a tryst. Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?" Claire defended Leena, thinking that Louisa was being too unreasonable. Everything had a hidden meaning for her.

  "Come on, Claire. Don't be silly. You're being jerked around. Don't you know why she gave you a bank card with so much money on it? Gifts blind the eyes. Anyone perceptive enough can see that she wants to shut you up so that you don't tell Kevin what you see. Don't you get it?" Louisa took a tissue and gently wiped the water stains on her face, lest her impeccable makeup be ruined.

  "What? That can't be true. You're thinking too much, Louisa. As far as I can see, she's not capable of scheming. It won't do her any good anyway." Claire glanced at Leena with a hesitant look in her eyes. She didn't believe that her sister-in-law was a cunning fox anymore. Her opinion had changed after spending so much time with Leena. She knew that Leena had a good heart. At least she never talked about others behind their backs, like the way Louisa did.

  "We are outsiders. How would we know whether it does her good or not? Only Leena knows that. She's the one who serves the devil," Louisa said and cocked an eyebrow in Leena's direction, obviously trying to provoke her.

  "Ah! You don't need to know. It's just a local saying around here." With her head down, Leena blinked rapidly and wondered what she could do. Louisa was long forgotten.

  "What are you two talking about? It's funny to listen to you two talk in a language that I don't understand." Claire had been eavesdropping on the conversation between Leena and Gerard, but failed to comprehend what they were saying.

  "Don't you know? It wouldn't be a secret if you could understand what they were saying. As I pointed out before, there is something going on between these two. But you didn't believe me. Don't fall into this trap," Louisa chipped in before Leena could answer. She was bored with Leena snubbing her.

  "I don't believe you! How is that possible? Come on, Louisa. Cool down." Claire felt helpless. She had promised Kevin to be on friendly terms with Leena, so she didn't want to worsen her relations with Leena again.
