DAY 2
~ Flora's P.O.V ~
“My, oh my. Isabella, dear. Don't forget the invitation for tonight's party!” Flora called one of the Maids in Bouquet's mansion.
“Yes, Ms. Flora, but... Aren't you going to invite Mr. Skele?” Isabella asked, confusion evident in her voice.
“Who now?” Flora airily answers.
“Raphael Skele.” The maid quietly said.
Flora looked up from her book, and at the maid. Then she put it down on the white quartzed table, next to her favorite flower vase. “Isn't that man a little too..... Vulgar...?”
“He's Madame Wesscott's friend.” Isabella confirms.
“If he tries to ruin the evening, I'll send him straight to jail.” Flora huffed in annoyance and glared at Isabella, making the poor maid flinch. “Hurry up. It's already 12:00 PM.”
Taking that as a sigh to leave, Isabella walked out of the living room, leaving the room silent like the way it originally is. The only sound accompanying Flora now is the crackling of the fireplace. Picking up the guest list, Flora added the name ‘Raphael Skele’ to the list. Suddenly she stopped at a foreign name, the name is written in black ink like any other on the list. But it stuck out for some reason. The name, not long and specific but just a simple three letters word, ‘Ace’ gives Flora a strange feeling.
“Tomorrow will be that day.” She told herself, chanting it like a mantra in her head.
