"a. a. a. aaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!"

"ghost!!! rrrrruunnnn!"

The two poor maintenance run like they run for their lives, screamed like there's no more tomorrow.

While inside 301, the once jolly and warm atmosphere inside her condo become gloomy and cold.

"Sigh." looking at everything inside, her newly bought appliances, new furnitures and new dog pet. She is proud of everything she had here because she bought them through her 'Very Own Money'. After graduating from college She didn't waste anymore time and find a not so high but good paying salary job.

She graduated from business management but to have every experience she decided to work as a saleslady to a big department store which in rival with his uncle department store.

She can have everything if she wanted to but she believes in what her grandma said,

'Do not live in riches, live in happiness.'

Her grandma wants every happy moments be with her and kindness grew upon inside her thats why her name Jolie is based in Jolly which means Happy and Kind, but what in the world did happened to her.

Is this what they have sacrifice in praying for?

Is this what God's payment for their good deeds after all?

They do not believe in him before but after breaking the curse they have been praying to him they choose to be faithful to him but what now!?

All their hopes they have given her to continue the breaking of that curse, now have gone.

"Sorry Grandma... sob sob.. sorry mom.. sob sorry dad.. sorry..." walking to her bed feeling tired of everything,she lied crying.

Suddenly, inside her quilt a crying cute brown puppy pop out looking at her. She got startled.

"Brutus?"

"woof!" the sad puppy become happy the moment she called his name, wagging his tail he lick his master tears.

"You.. You can see me!?" filled with happiness she carried Brutus in her arms. "I can carry you!"

"woof! woof!" Brutus nod like understanding what his master said.

"Interesting." suddenly from the darkest wall a handsome tall man appeared. Looking at the ghost carrying a living puppy in her arms with happiness in her bright red eyes.

Looking at her scarlet red lips and silvery long hair. "beautiful" reaching her hair.

Jolie then stepped back to avoid his hand.

"Who are you?" looking at the handsome tall man who is actually a handsome tall ghost in front of her. "Are you also dead?"

"Am I?" suddenly appeared in front of her inch-closer to her face, softly touching her face tracing from her ear to her chin she blushed. "Now that you have crossed, let me introduce myself to you, I'm Brent and I am your fiance."

"ah, Brent." "wewewewait!. what!?" breaking free from his pressure. "how? you! don't messed with me! I am not your fiancee, besides I don't remember having any boyfriend before I died. not even a ghost fiance!"

Straightening his posture he looked seriously at her, then He blinked fast twice, looking at her seriously, slightly frowning then He smiled at her. "Whatever, I'll wait for you, I'll stay with you here tonight."

"No!" she strongly refuse. "You can't stay at someone else house especially a woman house!" putting down the puppy who goes near to Brent intimately jumping around him.

"woof! woof!"

"No Brutus! Don't talk to strangers! Especially man who we're not close with!" picking back the pup but she reached nothing and it hides behind Brent.

"wooof" sad answer of Brutus.

"I'm not a stranger, besides, Im closer to you than the closest friend or closest family you ever had. And.. I can prove it." showing a confident smile with a serious gaze.

Feeling something is not right with what he is saying then suddenly she realized it all!

Of course! because He is a ghost, He can be closer as close as He wanted to her back then when she was still alive because she can't see him!!!

Thinking what He could have seen to her private parts she blushed. Ashamed, she can't look back.

"36B"

"At every 15 of the month"

"besides reading novels and comics, reading porn..."

"ENOUGH!!!!" throwing her pillows at him but of course,they just pass through him.

"You are a pervert ghost! how can you..!? how could you..!? so shameless!"

throwing everything blanket after blanket.

"But I think I'm not as pervert as you are..." with his expression like a innocent kid thinking of something, 'this is great! tease her. Right! the best way to make her temporarily forget her sadness is to tease her.haha'

"Go away! Go out!" feeling like her thread of patience has been rip. She tried to lift the foam bed to throw at him but failed. "What happened? why can't.." trying to lift it again the second time but she failed again. Suddenly, she felt weak and fainted.

"...silly.." catching her from her fall he carried her to her bed and shared bed with her.

On the other side...

"Why did you two screamed last night? You have frightened the residents! You know I can fire you right away because of that!!!"

nagging with fury the manager in their department didn't stop scolding the two.

The two just keep apologizing to their manager. They know they can't offend the residents living to the top floor. They are all from rich and powerful families. They can't even say what was the reason why did they screamed or it will scare the residents there.

"What if you disturb Mr.Lois ? How will you handle?! You're not even thinking!"

"Mi mi mi Mr.Lois???" shocked.

"It can't be..." feeling all their energy dissipated they fall on their knees.

Room 306. A tall, fair skin, handsome man,wearing luxury business attire is grooming himself at the mirror in his walk-in-closet with a pen-like headphone clipped to his left ear. "Fire them." with a poker face expression. It feels like it was just a casual word that doesn't even matter.

"yes! Ceo Lois." confirmation of the man on the other line.

While looking for shoes inside his closet, the lights flickered and at the same time a running white dressed girl suddenly pass by.

'brother...' he heard a cold whisper from his left ear.

"Myrtle?" says the man on the other line of his headphone.

Lois followed the silhouette of girl opening the cabinet, It was locked, He skimmed through the top bar of the cabinet He got the keys, he quietly inserted the key to the cabinet door he can hear the sound of 'Kacha' unlocking metals. Suddenly,

Knock' Knock'!
