Chapter 69
After so much efforts, they finally made the room look better, the dusts and cobwebs gone, everything looking so okay now and Irish could see how beautiful the room is.
“I’ll make the maids tend to the bathroom tomorrow” Ethan said.
“Ohh… okay. Carrle ad a great taste, her room looks so cool and beautiful” Irish commented, her eyes darting all over the place.
She sighted a picture frame on the wall and moved closer to it.
She wiped it clean with the napkin and stared at the woman in the picture.
She looks pretty in curly golden hair and sharp blue eyes, fine nose and modest lips which held a beautiful smile.
“Is this Carrle?” Irish asked Ethan and he nodded without looking at the picture.
“And that’s… the necklace on her neck” Ethan said.
Irish’s eyes moved to her neck immediately and she stared at the tiny necklace with held s crystal pendant…
Why does it look so familiar?
Like she has seen it… somewhere?
Well…
“Ethan are you okay?” She asked, noticing how uneasy he felt.
“I need to go outside” he said.
“Okay” Irish said and watched him leave, she can understand how he feel right now, she so much wish she can help him get the necklace from Catherine.
Irish sighed and sat on the chair, the picture frame still in her hand.
She was still staring at it when she heard a sound, she raised up her head slowly and saw the bathroom door creaking open.
She sat still in fear, her heart almost jumping out of her chest.
She couldn’t explain how she screamed and flew to the door, tossing the picture frame away
She opened the door and rushed outside, startling Ethan who was in deep thought.
“What?” He asked.
“T.. the the bathroom door suddenly opened itself and it made a scary sound” Irish said, breathing heavily.
“Chill… were you seated when the door started opening?” Ethan asked.
“Yeah, I was”
“Ohh… on the dressing chair right?”
“Exactly”
“Well.. i don’t know how that happens but whenever Carrle sits on her dressing chair, her bathroom door automatically opens.
“Wow! That’s… that’s creepy” Irish said.
“Yeah it is” Ethan said.
“Let’s leave here” Irish said, still scared.
What got into her?
How could she go into a dead person room in the middle of the night and even sit on the chair! She know herself to be scared at every slightest thing but the courage she had when entering Carrle’s room still amazes her.
Ethan took her hand and they both walked back into the house.
As they passed the living room, Irish saw a dark image.. someone’s shadow.
She stopped walking.
“What?” Ethan asked.
“There’s someone in the living room” She said slowly.
“By this time of the night?” Ethan raised his brow, turning and walking back towards the living room.
Irish didn’t move, she was still so scared about the Carrle thing..
“Javad, what are you doing here?” She heard Ethan ask and she turned and walked to join Ethan.
Javad’s face reeled of shock when he saw Irish with Ethan and he just stared at them, not knowing what to say.
“What are you doing here by this time of the night?” Ethan repeated.
“I.. im just watching out for the whole house” Javad said and Irish could tell he was telling lies. “By this time of the night?” Ethan asked.
“Yeah, by this time of the night?” Irish asked too.
“My job is to protect the house and that’s what I’m doing” Javad said.
“Since when have you started doing this?” Ethan asked, touched by Javad’s diligence. “For so long Mr Ethan” Javad said, intentionally looking pitiful.
“Damn!” Irish cursed inwardly….
“Javad, i must commend your efforts, you’ve been such a good bodyguard to this house, you’re the most hardworking of all. Good job Jav” Ethan said.
“Sh**! Is Ethan going to believe this brat?!” Irish fumed.
“Thank you Mr Ethan” Javad smiled, mocking Irish in the process.
“Motherfucker!” Irish cursed under her breath.
“In as much as you want to protect the house, i don’t want you to keep missing your sleep, sleeping goes a long way in one’s health okay?”
“Okay Mr Ethan” Javad said.
“Go to bed now”Ethan said and Javad nodded.
“Such a diligent man” Ethan said after Javad left.
“Why do you trust him so much?” Irish asked.
“He proved himself worthy of my trust”
“I personally don’t think he should be trusted” Irish said.
“Really? Why?” Ethan asked as they climbed the stairs.
“He seems creepy and i do have a bad feeling about him every time!”
“Ohh wow! I guess that’s because you haven’t gotten to know him so well.. Javad is a great person”Ethan said and Irish shrugged.
She wish she had evidence to back up her intuitions.
“Good night Ethan” Irish said, stopping in the middle of the stairs.
“You aren’t going to your room?” He asked.
“Yeah, I’m not feeling a bit sleepy yet so i thought it’d be great if i go continue with my sewing” “Ohh… I’m not also feeling a bit sleepy yet” Ethan smiled.
“So… you’ll be coming with me?” Irish asked.
“Yeah!” Ethan said.
“Great! Let’s go” Irish grinned.
