Julia spun around and nervously grabbed Claire’s arm as she asked in a trembling voice, “C–Claire, did

you drive into the wrong parking lot?”

“No!” Claire was very sure of that.

Julia was so scared that she immediately wormed into Claire’s embrace. If not for the fact that they

were still in the car, she would have leaped into Claire’s arms. “It’s haunted! Claire, I think we’re being

trapped by some ghosts. I’m scared!”

Claire gently patted her on the back and said in a soft, reassuring tone, “We’re not, Julia. You just need

to stop watching horror movies. If you’re really that scared, hold onto me when we get out later. We’ll

be fine. I’ll stop anyone from attacking you.”

Attacks from humans could be stopped, but could ghosts be stopped?

Julia’s face was pale with fright. She shook her head hard. “No way. Nope.

I’m still scared.”

“We’ll be fine.”

Claire pushed her away, then turned to open the car door. After hopping out, she walked around the car

before waving to Julia. “Come out. See? I’m fine.”

Julia gulped hard and cautiously opened the door. When nothing happened after she poked her head

out for a few minutes, she hopped out of the car as well and clung tight to Claire’s arm. She looked just

like a pitiful and helpless chick cowering by Claire’s side.

“Hurry up, Claire!”

Claire was actually not scared at all. Still, she was curious. Why were there no cars in the parking lot

today?

A gust of cold wind suddenly blew past them. Julia was so scared that she immediately shrieked and

abandoned Claire’s arm to dash straight to the elevator, screaming the entire time.

Claire helplessly shook her head and hurried after her.

“Ghosts are not real, Julia.”

“Aah! I don’t want to hear it! I’m scared! I’m scared!”

“Julia, I’m here. Don’t be scared.”

It was only after they arrived home did Julia’s heart stop racing.

She walked over to the balcony and pulled open the curtains. When she saw that there was not a

single light on in the entire area, her legs turned to jelly from fear, and she sank to the ground.

“It’s only 10:30 p.m., but I don’t see a single light turned on in our area. This place is haunted!” she

cried.

Claire did not believe in ghosts. If it did exist, it only existed inside a person’s mind.

She pulled out her phone and called the management. Then, she specifically put the call on speaker.

The dial tones coming from the phone had Julia shaking with fear. “No… no

no one’s answering …”

Just as she said that, the call was answered by a man’s deep voice. “Hello, this is Moonlight Bay’s

management office. How may I help you, please?”

Julia took a deep breath, crawled to her feet, and sat down beside Claire.

Claire glanced at her before responding to the man with a chuckle. “Nothing much. I wanted to ask,

why were there no cars in the parking lot? It’s also only 10:30 p.m. yet no one else in the area has their

lights on.”

“About that…”

The man cleared his throat before confidently replying, “That is because every unit in the area, other

than yours, has been bought over by my boss.”

“What?” Julia was shocked. “Your employer bought every unit except for ours When did that happen?

We only just moved in.”

“It was shortly after you moved in.”

Claire was rendered speechless.

Julia was equally speechless.

In the five short days they had spent staying over at the studio, every other unit in the area had been

bought over.

This man’s boss must be extraordinarily rich!

Claire felt like sighing. “Has no one moved in after that?”

“Shoot!”

Julia angrily shot to her feet. “Is your boss crazy? Why did he spend so much money on buying this

place just to keep it vacant? This entire place is so empty and soulless that we thought it had been

haunted! What if I had a heart attack? How is your boss going to compensate me for that…“?

Claire hurriedly slapped a hand over Julia’s mouth. “My apologies. My friend just received a fright and

is still running on adrenaline.”

After that, the man hung up with a confused look on his face.

He walked out of the office and onto the path around the neighborhood.

The apartment complex had been built not long ago, so the whole place still felt new and untouched by

humanity. The developer had also done a good job with the landscaping with tall shady trees and short

bushes lining the pathways. There was also a streetlamp placed every 20 yards. Normally, it

would have been fine.

However, as he walked alone on the empty path, he found his heart trembling

in anxiety for some strange reason.

“Ss… say … it’s quite creepy to be walking alone around here.”

He was about to turn around when a black cat suddenly leaped out of the bushes When he heard a

spine–chilling meow echo through the air, he was so frightened that he immediately ran back to the

office.

Sean was about to turn in for the night when his phone rang from where it rested on the bedside table.

It was Victor.

Over the phone, Victor tactfully said, “Mr. Sean, Miss Donovan’s unit is the only occupant in the

complex now. The parking lot is just empty with no signs. of human life in the area. The security guard

just called to comment that it’s quite scary at night. Miss Donovan and her assistant are both girls. Do

you think…”

Sean immediately understood what Victor meant. He frowned. “Were they

scared?”

Victor awkwardly chuckled. “Ah, yes. Even I would feel creepy, let alone these girls.”

The words “easily scared” made Sean think of Claire shrinking back in fear.

He softly chuckled. “Very well. I understand.”

After a good night’s sleep, Claire and Julia arrived back at the studio for another day of hard work.

Ten days ago, they rented the studio for twelve days. As they were still behind schedule due to the few

days they had not filmed anything, Mr. Smith wanted everyone to work through the night once more.

However, after a night of work, the actors could head back to their rooms to sleep for the day while the

crew worked on packing up so that they could move to their next location.

Claire and Julia had arrived early in the morning, and they left the studio in the morning as well. In fact,

Claire and Julia had arrived early in the morning, and they left the studio in the morning as well. In fact,

they left so early that Julia’s eyes were still dropping as she tried to fight off the urge to sleep. “Ah, this

job is just too stressful! We’re constantly working through the night. I can feel my skin breaking out.”

As Claire opened the car door, she noticed out of the corner of her eye the

van that had followed them the other day. It was parked not far away from

them.

She smirked and did not say a word as she got into the car.

After Julia fastened her seat belt, she fell asleep in the front passenger

seat.

The car drove out, and as expected, the van followed closely behind …
