"What do you want to eat, Miss Celestine?" Balthazar asked as he was checking the refrigerator and the kitchen cabinets.
As expected, the refrigerator is full and the spices are complete inside the cabinets same as the pastries section.
"Anything that you can cook will do," she simply answered.
Her eyes are wandering around the place trying to remember the first time she went to the resthouse to differentiate the changes that had happened to the house. She doesn't want to do anything other than wander her eyes all over the place and remain silent.

"Yes, Boss," he immediately answered. "How come she's not answering my calls? Didn't I tell you to accompany her to the mall to go shopping this morning?" "She doesn't feel good, Boss. So she choose to just rest inside of her room," he reasoned. After shaving, Vincent wiped his chin using a clean towel then he picks his phone from the sink. "Why, what happened?"
