Half an hour later, Hailey led Rebecca into the villa.
The moment they stepped inside, Rebecca's eyes widened in awe at the sight of the luxurious decor.
"Wow, Hailey!" she exclaimed. "This is no doubt one of the top villas in the Capitol. Every square foot's worth a fortune, and each piece of decor must cost a pretty sum."
Her gaze drifted over the plush carpet. "This must be Nidorian, right? It's so soft! And that crystal chandelier's from Denwood, isn't it? They're sparkling like a string of pearls.
"And this couch…"
The envy in her voice spilled over and was almost impossible to hide.
Hailey suddenly asked, "I thought your family wasn't well off, Rebecca. How do you recognize all the decor stuff?"
Rebecca froze before looking up and meeting Hailey's clear, questioning gaze.
She silently cursed herself. With just one slip of excitement, she'd totally forgotten her cover story. Someone from a modest, troubled family wasn't supposed to recognize imported carpets and designer chandeliers.
She quickly lied, "Oh, you might not know that I studied interior design for a while. I've seen these expensive items in magazines, so I recognize them."
Hailey's lips curved into a faint smile. "I was just curious, so no need to be nervous."
"Right."
Just then, a housekeeper—Dolores Pena—appeared. "Oh, you're back, Mrs. Pilsner."
Hailey nodded. "Ms. Pena, please get the guest room ready. Rebecca's my classmate, and she'll be staying here for a while."
Dolores nodded. "Of course. I'll take care of it right away.
"Oh, and Mrs. Pilsner, dinner's ready. Since Mr. Pilsner is working late tonight, he sent a menu earlier, and I've already cooked everything."
"Mr. Pilsner sends a menu even when he isn't home?" Rebecca asked, turning to Hailey.
"Naturally. Mr. Pilsner is very attentive to Mrs. Pilsner and the baby. He usually does the cooking himself," Dolores replied.
