Margaux revealed a forced smile as she looked at Jin. "You don't have to explain anything, " She said in a faint voice.
"I'm sorry..." She apologized.
" I should have asked you before giving you those cookies, " Margaux added.
Yumi's expression slowly changed.
'Wait, what?!'
'That's it?'
'She's not even mad or disappointed?'
Margaux glanced at Yumi before she looked back at Jin, 'She gets it, this angelic faced girl is trying to intimidate her!'
'She's not dumb not to understand what she's trying to do!'
'I shouldn't be disappointed if Jin did not eat the cookies she gave to him, it was my fault anyway, I should have asked him before I gave him those cookies.'
'I shouldn't lose hope to get Jin's heart. There are still other ways to win him!'
"I have to go go now," Margaux said after a while.
"Uh," It's the only word that Jin was able to say.
He knew she was offended because of Yumi's lie!
"Hey!" He called Yumi's attention when Margaux left.
Yumi looked up Jin innocently, "Hmmm?"
"Why did you say that?" Jin confronted Yumi.
"Did, what?" Yumi asked with her innocent expression. {As if she hasn't lied just now!)
"Stop being shameless!" Jin said.
"I know, you know what I am talking about, how could you slander me?!
"Slander you?!"
Yumi repeated with her innocent look.
"Hey, Yumi!" Jin started to feel annoyed.
How could she deny it to him?!
She's unbelievable!
She can lie without blinking an eye!
"Yeah, you did!" Jin insisted.
Yumi avoided Jin's gaze, "No, I don't," continued to act innocent.
"You're unbelievable!"
"How could you lie like that?"
"Hey, Jin Sebastian!"
"Don't you think you are too much?" Yumi tried to change the topic,
"What?" Jin knitted his brows.
"How could you speak to me informally?"
"Have you forget that I am still one of your master here?" Yumi raised her brow as she put her hand on her waist.
"Yah! Don't act as if you're the one who has been wronged here!" Jin continued to argue.
"Hey, why are you yelling at me?!" Yumi doesn't want to be defeated.
'Aish!' Jin massage his temple.
Arguing with this girl is giving him a headache!
"Ya! You lied to Margaux, you told her that I threw the cookies when it was you who did it!"
Yumi frowned, "Why you're so bothered?'
"Do you like that girl?" Yumi asked sternly.
"What is it to you if I like her?!" Jin replied with annoyance.
'This girl is so rude!'
'She just does whatever she wants without thinking what other people would feel because of her actions!'
Yumi froze...
It took a few seconds before she spoke again.
"You can't like her, " She said with her plain expression
"What?!" Jin asked as if he misheard eat Yumi said.
Yumi put her arms across her chest, " I said you can't like her!" She repeated.
"Ha!" Jin let out a forced laugh.
"Why can't I like her, why?"
Yumi looked up at Jin when she realized what she just said to Jin!
'Oh no Yumi, why did you say that to him?!'
'Do you want to get caught without succeeding to your plan?!'
Yumi blinks her eyes a few times.
"B-Because..." Yumi tried to think for a word to say.
Jin stared at Yumi as he waited for her to continue.
"Because..." Yumi gulp!
"Because I said so!"
"What?!" Jin seems like laughing he seems like he just heard a ridiculous joke!
"You can't like her because I said so!" Yumi repeated.
"You can't like anyone!"
'Except me!' Yumi added inside.
"You're unbelievable!" Jin blurted out as he shook his head.
"Yes, I am!" Yumi replied proudly.
"There's more, I will chase away every girl who would come close to you, "
"Yumi," Jin stepped closer to Yumi.
" The world doesn't only revolve around you!"
"You can't manipulate anyone just because you want to!"
"But that's what I'd like to do to you, " Yumi replied sternly.
"Hey, why are you doing this, huh?!"
"Don't implicate me to your miserable life!" Jin was mad that he doesn't care about the words that came out from his mouth.
It was too late when he realized what he had said!
Jin instantly shut his mouth when he realized what he said.
He looked at Yumi, her expression was as cold as ice while staring at him without emotions.
"A- I-I di--..." Jin doesn't know what to say!
He knows that Yumi was hurt with his word!
Who wouldn't be hurt?
He told her that she is miserable which is what she really feels inside!
"Are you done mocking me?" Yumi asked coldly, trying to conceal the pain that she felt inside.
"I-I'm..." Jin doesn't know whether to apologize or not. It might only make her feel more horrible inside!
Yumi left and did not wait for Jin to finish his word.
Jin sighs as he watches Yumi walks away.
He wanted to hit his head on the wall. He did not think before he blurts out those words!
"Are we leaving now, Young Miss?" Japhet asked when Yumi walks back to the car.
"No, I have changed my mind." She replied and then she walks back inside the mansion.
Japhet and Ryan looked at each other before they looked at Jin suspiciously.
Jin just walks away and ignored Ryan and Japhet.
-------
Margaux took a deep breath.
'She doesn't know what to feel.
Her heart is aching, but she keeps on reminding her self that everything will be okay!
Yes, she shouldn't think too much about what happened today!
Jin doesn't like cookies, that is why he did not eat those cookies that she gave to him.
She just wants to think that way even though that girl makes her feel like Jin rejected her!
Speaking of that girl...
She seems familiar to her, but she just can't remember when or where,
Margaux closed her eyes as she shook her head.
I should not think about that girl's identity!
But I have to be aware of her, she could be my greatest love rival with Jin, she has the advantage!
They live in the same house, they see each other every day, and it's bothering her!
-----------
At night, Jin waited for Yumi in the study room for the tutorial, but she did not come.
Jin sighs!
He got up from his seat and left the study room.
-------
Margaux stared at her phone without blinking her eyes.
'So, it was her, ' She mumbled inside.
'No wonder she looked so familiar to me, '
'She is the daughter of the business tycoon Dimitry Alcantara, she's an heiress of Alcantara family.
Ugh!
Margaux's suddenly regretted why she tried to investigate about Yumi's identity.
She was curious about the girl.
She is pretty!
Margaux loves Jin and Yumi could be her greatest rival over Jin's heart!
As a girl, she should know about her enemy.
'No, I shouldn't get discouraged!' Margaux tried to cheer up he self.
'I know I can still fight for Jin!
