Kira held Tim's face.
"Don't worry about me. I won't let her bully me again." Kira assured.
Tim closes his eyes as he feels the warmth of Kira's palm on his face.
He lifted his hand and held hers.
"Why won't you come with me?" He suggested.
Kira shook her head, "You know I can't." She refused.
"I have to work the next day, I can't leave my students," Kira explained.
"Oh!" Tim blurted out.
"I'm going to miss you." He said.
"Hey, are you not tired of seeing this face every day?" Kira joked.
"Nope!" Tim quickly replied.
"Never!" He added.
Tim looked at Kira in a serious expression.
"I'll be back in a few days, alright?"
Kira just nodded her head as a response.
She knew she's going to miss Tim too, even if it's just a few days!
She is used to his presence and this is the first time that he will be away from home.
-----
The next day in the afternoon, Coby fetched Tim at the Villa and send him to the airport.
After Tim left, Gaile arrived to see Madame Gezel.
"Hello there, Gaile!"
"I've missed you!" Madame Gezel said to Gaile.
"Hello, Auntie!" Gaile approached Gezel and embraced her.
"How are you dear?"
"It's been a long time since we've seen each other!"
"Oh, I'm pretty good, auntie!" Gaile replied with a sweet smile on her face.
"You know what, it's better if we talk to the garden." Madame Gezel suggested.
"Oh, sure, auntie. I also have something to give you and I hope you'll like it!" Gaile said.
The two of them headed to the garden.
-----
Kira got bored inside the master's bedroom and decided to go out of the room.
She wants to take some air, so she decided to go to the garden.
But unfortunately, Madame Gezel and Gaile are there on the garden's table set, talking while seeing their pieces of jewelry to each other.
"Oh! I like this design!"
Kira heard Madame Gezel said.
The woman lifted the ruby diamond necklace with her sparkling eyes!
"Really auntie?" Gaile got excited!
"I was about to give that necklace to you!" Gaile added.
Gaile secretly smirked inside!
I know how to get you, auntie!
"Really?!" Gezel asked in an unbelievable expression!
"Of course auntie!" Gaile said without having a second thought.
Kira changed her mind!
She doesn't want to stay in the garden anymore!
Kira was about to turn away but Gaile has noticed her before she could go!
"Hey, Kira!" Gaile called Kira.
Kira stopped on track.
"Why won't you join us here?" Gaile asked.
Kira turned back to them, she revealed a smile and say, "No, thanks! I have some important things to do." She said politely.
"Oh!" Gaile blurted out.
"We have a guest here, shouldn't you be serving tea for our guest?" Madame Gezel suddenly spoke.
Kira averted her gaze to Madame Gezel.
"Why are you just standing there?" Madame Gezel asked sternly.
"Go and make tea for us!"
Kira took a deep breath to calm her self.
'Relax Kira, this is not yet bullying, right?'
'Stay calm and be polite as long as she doesn't hurt you.' Kira secretly said to her self.
" Sure, Auntie!" Kira said in a calm voice.
Kira turned and headed inside the house.
Gaile's gaze followed Kira, and a smirk slowly formed on her lips.
In the kitchen...
Helena went to the kitchen to drink water, but she saw Kira near the stove.
Helena is now wearing a kerchief to cover her bald head.
"What are you doing, dear?" Helena asked.
Kira turned her head to her auntie's direction.
"I'm boiling water for the tea, auntie. " Kira said.
"Tea?"
"You should have told the servants if you want to drink a tea and let them do that," Helena said.
"It's..." Kira seems like she's having a second thought.
"It's not for me, auntie."
"Who would drink that, then?" Helena asked.
"It's Madame Gezel's order, auntie," Kira replied.
Helena sighs!
"That woman is treating you so rudely." She said.
Kira smiled, "I can still handle it, auntie."
Their conversation was interrupted by the kettle's whistle, indicating that the water is already boiling.
Kira turned off the gas range, took the kettle and transfer the hot water into the teapot.
Kira put the teapot in the food tray and she added two teacups before she lifted the food tray.
"I will bring this to them, auntie," Kira said and then she walks out of the kitchen with the food tray in her hand.
Kira went back to the garden, she stopped on the door, she took a deep breath before she approached the table where Gaile and Madame Gezel are sitting.
The two of them are laughing when Kira arrived on their table.
"Here is the tea that you requested, Auntie," Kira said as she put down the food tray on the table.
Madame Gezel looked at the teapot on the table.
Kira was about to leave but Madame Gezel suddenly spoke.
"Are you not going to serve us this tea that you've brought to us?" Madame Gezel asked sarcastically.
Kira stopped and pressed her lips, 'You're just going to serve them the tea, Kira. She's not hurting you.' She reminded her self again.
With that thought, Kira turned back to them, "Sure, I will!" she said with a smile on her face.
"Auntie, I think we should ask the servants to do this." Gaile pretended to be on Kira's side.
"Oh, let her do that! I am sure she won't mind serving her guests. That's the wives supposed to do, right Kira?" Madam Gezel throws Kira a meaningful look.
Kira still tried to be polite, she revealed a sweet smile as a response.
When she finished filling the teacups, Kira put down the teapot on the food tray and then she turned to leave.
Madame Gezel took a sip of the tea, but then she spits it out again as her mouth feels the hot tea!
