Evening soon dawned and after hours of work Yuna was finally done with the cleaning. She swung open the door with a confident gleam in her eyes, in addition a mouth watering aroma lingered onto her nose. Instinctively Yuna trailed along with her nose as her guide.
Yuna came to an halt at the dinning area which was adorned beautifully with a variety of dishes.
"Woah" Yuna's mouth watered on gazing at the main attraction– the chicken... roasted to perfection in the oven, it's crispy skin glistening like polished mahogany, it's tender meat infused with various spices garnished with micro greens and soy sauce.
"Oh you're done" Kaida emerged from the kitchen at the same time wiping her hands with a towel.
"Mmm" Yuna wiped off the falling saliva from her lips.
"Is this for just the both of us?" Yuna commented.
As if not expecting this question, Kaida raised a brow and said " Yes" coming to a halt at the dining table
"All of this?" Yuna Blarbed wide eyed.
"Mmm" Kaida nodded and questions "is it too much?"
'of course it is' Yuna notioned in her head.
"Never mind" Yuna was quick to discern the topic, if they couldn't finish the dishes they would just keep the remains and have it through the week.
"You've got something here" Without prior warning, Kaida reached out to help Yuna, her long, slender fingers making contact with Yuna's soft cheek. This unexpected touch sent a sudden jolt of electricity through Yuna's body, leaving her alarmed and defensive.
"What are you doing?" Yuna asked, instinctively pushing Kaida's hands away and taking two steps back.
Kaida explained, "You've got some dust right here," pointing to a small speck on Yuna's cheek.
Yuna hastily retreated to her room, closing the door behind her at an impressive speed. Kaida couldn't help but think, 'Jeez, she's fast!'

Yuna slammed her bedroom door shut, her hand flying to her chest as a surge of adrenaline coursed through her veins.
"What just happened?" she thought to herself, her heart racing inexplicably.
She couldn't understand why her pulse was pounding in her ears, but replaying the recent encounter only made her heart beat faster. 'Get a grip, Yuna' she admonished herself, focusing on her objective - Operation No HK. She was determined to achieve her goal, no matter what. That goal was to send the unwanted housekeeper packing. Yuna had made up her mind: she didn't need or want a housekeeper, and nothing - not even the unexpected arrival of Kaida - would change her mind.
A mischievous smile soon appeared on her face as she planned her next course of actions
Just then, a text message came through, it was her mom.
–Hi - Mom
She immediately replied
–Hey, how was the trip? - Yuna
– I haven't even boarded the plane yet, the flight was delayed :-\ - Mom
– Maybe it's a sign that you shouldn't go :-D- Yuna
Then, out of the blue her mom decided to switch to phonecall.
"You know I don't believe in superstitions" her mom said over the phone.
