Chapter Four: Case of a Diva – The Comeback

Flashback

"What happened?!" asked Yasu.

"Hell, if I know." Muttered Amelia who's running beside him.

Oliver didn't bother with the two and immediately went into the room where the scream came from.

What greeted him is a sight he never expected.

A female staff was backed in to the corner of the room. In the darkness of the room it's quite hard to make out what really was happening but somehow Oliver was able to make out the outline of another long haired female who's hands was stretched out to the crying female.

Its back is crutched in an extremely uncomfortable way as its long tattered bloody dress leaves trails of blood in wake. The creature kept on approaching its intended victim making the woman scream.

Oliver could hear the gasp of horror from everyone behind him specially from the medium and the psychic. He needs to do something.

"Bou-san" the monk nodded in his way and immediately positioned his fingers for his mantra.

"Nan man ku bazara dan man!"

Even with the loud chants of Bou-san, the still creature looks unaffected. Instead of disappearing like Oliver first expected, it just stopped in its tracks and slowly faced the team.

They could feel bile slowly rising up from their throats as they were face to face with the grotesque figure of the woman. It's face is melting, its flesh raw and rotten. It's mouth is drawn back into a sickening grin – that causes goosebumps on their skin.

Then the ghost disappeared.

"I-it's gone…"

Oliver went inside the dark room and stood in its middle. "It just escaped." He said and then faced the frowning medium.

"Hara-san."

"Yes?"

"Can you still feel the spirit?"

The said medium just closed her eyes and tried to locate the spirit. Opening them, she immediately informed her boss of her assessment.

"It's still here though it's presence feels so faint…as if it's not coming from the building itself. I also felt other spirits as well when that woman appeared. But when she disappeared, so did they." She answered.

"So you can't ascertain where she is right now?"

Masako shook her head as saying no. "I'm sorry."

Oliver just kept quiet and thought about the case. It was then that an irritated remark came from somebody's mouth.

"Useless." Says the one woman just leaning on the wall as the others are talking about the case. She has this irritating condescending look on her pretty face – it irritated most of her colleagues.

The raven haired medium however displayed a rather venomous look on her eyes. 'If it isn't so low…I would rather wring this b*tch.'

The platinum blonde male leaned his frame in the door frame. He was preparing for something when he heard of the scream and so are the events that happened in the room. And now he is just watching the SPR team discuss about the specifics of the case while the red haired woman attended to the frightened female staff.

Alexandre also noticed that everyone was on edge when the woman on the wall commented about something.

'Is it okay to trust them?' he wondered.

The handsome man is about to follow the team inside when he heard the familiar clacking of heels coming from his right. Facing the newcomer, a smile immediately appeared on his lips as he greeted his mistress from where he stood.

"What's going on?" says a soft but authoritative female voice. Hearing this, the team immediately quieted down and looked at Alexandre who's standing by the door.

"The spirit manifested, my lady."

"…I see."

Oliver and the gang waited for the new comer to show up. Hearing Alexandre call her 'my lady', their quite sure that this woman is their real client.

Oliver wanted to meet the owner. He knows that for sure this woman knows something about the case.

The gang – aside from Oliver – waited with a breath. The sound of heels over the carpet ensued. Alexandre moved back and gave the mystery woman a bow.

Stunning legs and a slim waist instantly greeted Oliver's eyes.

'Nice legs..' Oliver can't help but appreciate as he saw a pair legs covered by a tight fitting crème pencil skirt that ended to her knees. His eyes continued to travel of l upwards.

He can tell that the woman has a nice body with her small thin waist. She wasn't voluptuous either – just right even for the narcissist's standards. And she's wearing a white long sleeved button shirt.

She has this long slim sexy neck and a fair white complexion showing from it. Her hair is in a shiny chocolate brown and is in a French-twist. Oliver's heart skipped a beat upon seeing the hair. Seems like he now has a thing with brunettes that he developed as he continue to miss that precious ex-assistant of his.

The face however is something that he still can't comment on seeing that she is still facing her butler.

'She must be pretty too.'

Oliver didn't know how right he is upon finally seeing the face of the brunette.

A collective gasp could be heard inside the room as the SPR group finally meets the Goldschmidt mistress.

Inexpressible emotions can be seen from their faces.

Longing

Happiness

Joy

Surprise

And certain hatred coming from a certain blonde woman.

Alexandre isn't blind and so that's why he could see the look of surprise on both his mistress and the SPR's faces. He somehow got a clue with what is happening.

Clearing his throat, he got the other party's attention.

"Minna-sama. I would like to introduce you the head of Goldschmidt family and the owner of Chateau Chevalier – Lady Maria Antoinette Isla Taniyama Goldschmidt."

The woman who's name is finally revealed, schooled her shocked expression to a smiling one.

"Hello." She said with a smile.

The team finally woke up from their surprise and all yelled at the same time.

"Mai!".
