"I'm afraid so. Edward gave the villa to us as a marriage present. So I don't know how much it's worth. But it seems like a very expensive house." Leena liked this villa too. The only problem that had kept her from moving in was the long distance between the villa and the army base. She didn't want Kevin to commute for hours to work. Moreover, she didn't think that she and Kevin should live in a house purchased by another man. No man wanted to live in a house that he didn't buy anyway. They had their pride and Kevin was no exception.

  "You mean Mr. Mu? He's so nice to you, Leena! I don't think he's an easy-going person and he cares so little about other people. However, you are special to him and he seems to adore you so much. And he's not the only one. I think all those guys adore you. Why is it?" That question had been pricking Claire's mind since the night before. Now that Edward's name was mentioned, she couldn't contain her desire to satisfy her curiosity anymore.

  "Who? Oh, you mean them! I grew up with them when we were little and I am the only girl among them. They have regarded me as their own sister since then. Thus they treat me well. It is merely a habit for them. It doesn't mean that there's anything between us." Leena flashed a smile when she recalled the sweet memories. Those people were her dearest fellas too. It was very fortunate for her to have met them.

  "I'm being jealous now." This was Claire's true feeling. She was also treated like a princess back in the capital city. However, compared to Leena's friends, the people were nice to her just because of her family's power, whereas Leena's friends were unselfishly loving her without asking for anything in return.

  "Don't be. I'll show you around and then I need to go home. I badly need to have more sleep. I don't know what you are in such a hurry for." Leena yawned as she was very sleepy now.

  "Oh! I can look around myself! You should go home now and sleep since you are so tired. And please don't come to see me

  eserve to be better than Louisa.

  "Okay? Did you say okay? You've got to be kidding me! This is perfect! Now let's move the couches to the other side of the room and this will be the best rehearsal hall in the world!" said Pola expectantly. She flashed another apologetic smile to Claire for Louisa's disdainful attitude.

  "I said okay because it was just okay. Don't you argue with me. Alright, that's enough. Let's start moving the furniture." Although the other two took Louisa's anxiety as a sign of the good friendship between Pola and her, deep in Louisa's heart, she knew she was anxious because she had bet all her future on this show.

  It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when Leena was woken up by her buzzing phone. Rage immediately burned inside her upon seeing the Caller ID on her phone screen. She let out a mild growl before putting the phone next to her ear.

  "Yes? What is it?" Leena's tone was very unhappy when she spoke. She now blamed Kevin for everything. He was also the culprit who made her a fool in front of Claire.

  "Why are you so angry? Did anyone piss you off today? Did Claire offend you? If she did, just tell me. I'll kick her ass when I go home later," quipped Kevin after a short pause. He was almost amused by his wife's angry tone, and found it very cute. He felt like teasing her more.
