Yumi took a glass before she opened the fridge, She took a pitcher and pour its contents into her glass before she put it back inside the fridge. She then turns to take a seat in the dining table, but she was startled when Angeli suddenly popped out of the door!
"Hey, Yumi," Angeli called Yumi as she walks closer to her.
Yumi throws the woman a cold gaze, she doesn't like this woman's smile. It did not even reach her eyes.
"I don't think we're close enough for you to call me by my first name," Yumi said coldly.
"Why?"
"Is there anyone close to you?" Angeli replied with sarcasm.
"What?" Yumi raised her brows.
Angeli revealed a faint smirk, "You don't have, do you?"
"Hey, don't you think you're being a gossip?" Yumi said.
"Whatever!" Angeli ignored Yumi's rudeness.
"Anyways, I just came here to tell you something," She said as she looked at Yumi straight to the eyes.
"Whatever it is, I am not interested," Yumi replied.
"I don't care even if you're not interested, what I want is that you better listen to what I say,"
"Alicia is such a good person. She can endure your rudeness, but if you offended anyone of her family member, she won't let it go, so, stop treating Yuhan rudely if you don't want to see her worst side."
"Ha!" Yumi let out a short yet sarcastic laugh, "Are you threatening me?"
"No," Angeli said, "But I am warning you,"
"Ha ha ha ha!" This time, Yumi let out her classy laugh, as if she had heard a ridiculous joke.
She then stepped forward, draw her face closer to Angeli and whispers, " I am the only heiress of this family, I always get what I want, do you think I will be afraid of your ridiculous warning?" Yumi smirked.
She then straightened her body and distanced her self from Angeli.
Yumi looked at Angeli straight to the eyes,
" I am Yumi Alcantara, rudeness is my specialty. Now, if she doesn't want her son to be treated rudely, she and her son would better move out from here," Yumi's voice was low, but every word she says is like an insult to Angeli and she can't help but feel mad!
"How could you be so rude to them?" Angeli asked in gritted teeth,
" How do you expect me to treat the person who ruined my perfect family?" Yumi asked back.
"What?" Angeli couldn't believe it, she knew that this girl is rude, but she didn't think that she is this savage!
She is like a cold stone, it seems like no one can move her!
"She is your best friend, so, you should know what I am saying," Yumi said with her emotionless expression.
"You know nothing, Yumi," Angeli suddenly said.
"I just feel sorry for you because they keep the truth from you," She added.
Yumi's expression slowly changed, "What are you saying?" she asked with her narrowed eyes.
"If I were you, I would try to open my eyes and ears to know what happened,"
"Why won't you just tell me straight forward?" Yumi raised her brows.
"You want me to tell you straight forward?"
God knows how Angeli wants to blurt out the truth, but she chose not to!
"This is all I can say to you, and you should remember this..." Angeli paused for a moment.
"What I am saying is that you are barking on the wrong tree,"
"What?" Yumi couldn't get what Angeli means to say.
"One day, you will realize what I meant," She said before she turned and left the kitchen.
Angeli heard Yuhan's voice coming from the stairs, so, she walks to the living room and she waited for them to come down.
Yumi was left in the kitchen, trying to figure out what Angeli meant, 'What she means when she said I am barking on the wrong tree?'
'Does it mean that I am blaming the wrong person?'
'Ha! Did she mean that Alicia was innocent and who should I blame?'
'Hmp! Of course, she will take the side of her friend! They were best friends after all!
-------------
"Where did you go?" Alicia asked Angeli when they reached the living room.
"Uh, I just went to the kitchen to drink water," Angeli lied.
"Anyways, I won't stay longer, I still have to pack my things too,"
Alicia looked at her friend, "You're moving out?" she asked.
"Ennn..." Angeli nodded, "I'm going to follow my fiance abroad,"
"Oh!" Alicia blurted out.
"Alright, be careful and thank you for looking after Yuhan for a few years,"
"No worries," Angeli bade her goodbye after a few minutes of chitchat.

Yumi is sitting in the balcony, she is scrolling her phone when she notices someone standing on the door.
Yuhan held his toy tightly while looking at Yumi with his innocent eyes.
"Why?" Yumi asked with her raised brows.
Yuhan was scared and runs downstairs.
"Tsss!" Yumi scoffed as she rolled her eyes.
Yuhan is panting when he reached downstairs.
"Yuhan, what happened?"
"Why are you panting?" Alicia asked his son.
"Mommy, why sister Yumi always looked angry?" Yuhan asked his mother.
Alicia bent and touched her son's face, "Maybe she's just going through something," She said.
"Hey, how about this, just don't interrupt sister Yumi, okay?"
"Why?"
"I want to play with her," Yuhan said with loneliness in his face.
"Big boy, "Alicia caress her son's head, "Sister Yumi doesn't play toys as you do,"
"Why?" Yuhan asked again.
"Because she's a grown-up already," Alicia replied.
"But Auntie Ange always plays with me," Yuhan said.
"Sweetie, Auntie Ange and Sister Yumi were different, okay?"
"Not everybody likes to play toys,"
"Oh!" Yuhan blurted out.
"So, From now on, just don't ask her to play with you, alright?" Alicia said again.
"Ennn..." Yuhan nodded his head.
"Good boy," Alicia embraced her child.
This is the thing that she wants to avoid. Yuhan is still young and he doesn't understand what is going on around him.

It was weekend, Yumi is sitting on the bench in the garden to have time to relax.
Jin is trimming the plants in the garden when he notices the girl sitting on the bench.
Jin stopped what he's doing he narrowed his eyes as if making sure that he is not just seeing things, 'So, it is the Young Miss,' He said inside.
He thought he was just seeing things, he has live in this mansion for four months, and this is the first time for him to see the Young Miss in the garden.
Yumi lifted her head when she felt like someone is looking at her. She wasn't wrong, because as soon as she lifted her gaze, she saw Jin a distance away from her!
Yumi's brows automatically raised, 'Wait, is this guy has something on me?' Yumi revealed a faint smirk, 'Well, it's not new to her, who could resist my beauty though!'
Everybody envies her because she almost has everything!
(A/N: Well, except the good manners and intelligence, )
Yumi got up from her seat and approached Jin, she stood in front of her, put her arms across her chest, and ask, "What are you staring at?"
Jin looked at Yumi straight to the eyes, with a serious expression on his face, "Nothing," he said.
"Ha!" Yumi laughed, "I caught you staring at while I was sitting on that bench," Yumi said as she points out the bench where she sat earlier.
Jin followed Yumi's finger, "Oh, that?" He questioned.
"I wasn't staring at you," Jin replied.
"Oh come on! Don't be shy, servant, I am used to it, anyway! You're not the only one who has something on me," Yumi said with a confident smile on her face.
Jin knitted his brows, "Something on you?" He repeated,
"Yes," Yumi replied.
"I'm sorry, but you must have misunderstood Young Miss," Jin said.
"I wasn't staring at you earlier because I have something on you, I was wondering how to make you leave the bench, I have to trim the plants behind it," Jin said as he pointed the thick plant behind the bench.
Yumi followed Jin's finger, indeed!
There's a thick plant behind it!
Why did she not notice it earlier?
She should have not thought that he was looking at her!
'Oh, Yumi, you're too assuming!'
'You're shameless Yumi!'
'You should have not told him those words, now you're in an embarrassing situation!' Yumi scolded her self, she was too embarrassed, her face heated!
"Is the Young Miss' not feeling well?" Yumi heard Jin asked.
"W-What?" Yumi turned her head to Jin,
"Your cheeks are reddish," Jin commented with his stiff expression.
Yumi touched her face, 'She doesn't know if this guy is dumb or he is just teasing her!
Probably her face heated and turned red due to embarrassment!
Yumi still maintains her composure, "It's not red, it's pinkish,! " Yumi tried to hide her embarrassment. "And just so you know, a pinkish cheek is so natural to me," She added.
"Oh," Jin blurted out.
"Go and continue what you're doing," Yumi gestured Jin to go.
"Alright," Jin said and then he walks towards the bench.
Yumi secretly heaved a sigh of relief, she then hurriedly left the garden and headed inside the house.
Jin paused, he turned and watches Yumi as she walks to the house.
Jin couldn't contain his smile, he was not planning to trim the plant behind the bench, it was just an alibi!
