The Madam was actually scared!

Pink Villa

The living room was dark. Four shadowy figures could be figured in the room.

"This going to be great", Eddie whispered as she lit up a flower-shaped candle.

"Yeah", Papa Adley smiled as he helped his daughter, "Alice sure has a taste."

"Sure", Jake smiled, "But, Eddie you will not stay up late tonight."

"Why?" she pouted unhappily.

"Because you have a press conference tomorrow", Papa Adley spoke seriously, "You remember, right?"

"Hmm", she nodded seriously.

"Clear the way! Clear the way!" a voice was raised along with the screeching of wheels.

"The cake is ready!" Eddie spoke with excitement, "I can smell it in the air."

"Yeah, of course", Alice's illuminated face came into view as she wheeled the trolley rack along the way, "It's ready."

"Mm", Jake sniffed the air and leaned towards Alice, "Smells good. Can I have some?"

"Eww", Alice pushed him away, "Gross."

"So sad", Papa Adley chuckled and patted Jake on his shoulder.

"Whatever", Jake pouted.

"Stop it", Eddie elbowed him.

"Okay", Alice adjusted the watch on her wrist, "Five minutes from now, everyone will take their positions."

The other three nodded seriously. Then, Eddie spoke up, "Jeez, doesn't that look like we are on a serious mission?"

"Yeah, quite serious", Jake smiled.

"Whatever", Alice rolled her eyes, "At 5:15 sharp, I will call him, understand?"

"Yeah", the other three nodded.

The office

Daniel was busy typing on his laptop with his earplugs on. He was doing some headbangs, indicating that he was listening to full-fledged music. There was a gentle knock on the door that he missed amidst the music. The knocks became furious and loud, which was a soft knock on his ears. He removed his earplugs and jumped as a result of the knocks.

"Come in", he yelled without looking up. Shit! Didn't it feel like acting like a spoiled brat?

"Sir", Lin gave him a surprised look as he entered through the door.

"Oh!", Daniel nodded, "Wassup?"

"Madam called", Lin spoke, holding out the phone.

"Umm", Daniel nodded and placed the phone between his right ear and right shoulder, "Yes? Are you there? Hello?"

"Sir? Sir?" Lin called.

"Hmm?" Daniel looked up with curious eyes.

"She is not on the line."

"Oh!" Daniel nodded, "Make the call."

"Yes sir", saying so, Lin took the phone that was placed between his ear and shoulder.

He soon made a call and got through a single ring. A sweet melody rang out slowly, "Hello? Daniel? I am scared."

Scared? Lin's face twitched. The Madam was scared!

"Scared?" Daniel jumped up from his seat and snatched the phone away, "Al? Are you okay?"

"No", Alice's voice shook perfectly, like a candle flame threatened by wind, "I am scared."

"Why?" his facial features contorted into a frown.

"The lights were flickering, you know, like in a horror movie. And then, boom! A load shedding screwed everything. I tried switching then on, but all in vain. It feels like someone is watching over me."

"You are afraid of the dark? How come I never knew that?"

"Ugh!" Alice wanted to vomit blood, "That...that after that incident, you know. Daniel, I am scared and screwed."

"Okay", he sighed, "Just stay where you are. Okay?"

"Yes", Alice's voice brightened, "Okay."

"I am coming, then."

"Bye, I will be waiting for you."

"Bye. Remember my words."
