The next day.
Laura was awakened by the sound of soft knocking on the door. She glanced at the clock hanging on the wall. Oh no! It was already 8:30 in the morning! She sleeps late and woke up late! She got up immediately from the bed, placing her hands on her head, feeling a pounding headache hammering on her head. Oh, why she's feeling sick today?
She walked towards the door and opened it.
Neeza stood outside the door. "Miss... your father and Sir Nicholas already finished eating their breakfast in the dining room. When are you going to go downstairs?" she asked.
"Neeza, I'm not feeling well. Can you bring some food in my room?" she asked, not wanting to see anyone today especially Cooper.
Neeza looked at her worriedly. "Do you have a fever, Miss?" she asked.
"I have no fever, just a headache," Laura answered, shaking her head. She opened the door wide for the maid to enter.
Neeze entered the room and closed the door behind her.
Laura walked to the bedside table and picked up the key to Graven's house, she handed it to the maid. "Here's the key to graven's house, I'm returning it to you. Thank you for your help, Neeza," she said.
"Have you check the house, Miss? Did you find what you are looking for?" Neeza asked curiously.
Laura looked at the maid. "Yes, I'm done checking it. But I didn't find anything there to help me," she answered. She didn't tell the maid about Cooper and Luke's doppelganger, she will keep it a secret forever. She was curious about what happened to Cooper. "Did you see Cooper this morning?" she asked.
"Yes, I just saw him in the hallway. He was on his way to the dining room," Neeza replied.
One more reason, she doesn't want to go downstairs today. She wants to avoid meeting Cooper, she wants to avoid any confrontation with him until she sorts out her feelings and emotions.
"Just please bring my food here, Neeza. If anyone asks, just tell them I'm not feeling well today, I have a headache. I just want to stay in my room all day and rest," she said.
"Okay, I'll take my leave now," Neeza said. Then she saw the single rose on the dresser table and picked it up. "Wow, what a beautiful rose. Did you picked this up in the garden, Miss?"
"Yeah, I picked that rose from the garden yesterday," she answered.
"Ah, okay, I'll go now," Neeza said and put the rose down on the dresser table and left the room to get food downstairs.
After the maid was gone.
Laura walked towards the dresser table and picked up the single rose, she stared at the red petals. The rose came from Luke's doppelganger, no one else!
But she didn't take off the cover of the mirror! Why that guy still able to deliver a rose to her? She looked around her bedroom and saw her small round mirror on the table! Dang! She forgot to hide it away.
She picked up the small mirror and put it behind her clothes in the closet.
Done.
Sighing, she sat on the edge of the bed. She looked at the window, it's already opened. Did that mysterious guy entered thought the door or through the mirror? Now she's getting confused.
What's the truth? What is the secret behind that mysterious guy who keeps pestering her using Luke's image?
A few minutes later.
