The Culprit

"Wahh, you seriously gave me some trouble back then. How can you let yourself be bullied? If I wasn't there to save the day what will happen to you. Seriously, I can't even imagine how your brother will retaliate after what happened. But hey, how did you do even think of that? Even I didn't imagine that you would find a loophole in the rules and even think of using a wire as a crochet hook. Isn't that hard to use? How did you actually train? Hey, are you really a normal person? Hey! Hey! little Yue where are you going?!" Kiro shot off his notorious mouth and Yue can only walk away from the noise.

Yue can only wish she can walk away as fast as she can crochet.

As soon as the event was over, Kiro had cornered Yue and activated his talent of rapid firing.

"You still owe me from not going to the opening event of Bijoux" Yue suddenly threw out the incident despite not minding it just so Kiro would stop yapping unfortunately it only opened another round of clamoring.

"Ahh that, I already apologized and it's not as if you even tried to look for me! I also got the news that the fourth prince saved you from a pervert. How did you get acquainted with that awful man? I'm telling you, you better get as far as you can from that prince. He's no good, no good at all" Kiro cringed at the thought of the fourth prince.

Yue raised her brows in interest and intend to follow up on the topic when she saw a familiar figure.

She didn't hesitate to leave Kiro and followed the person.

"Hey I was still talking to you, where are you going ungrateful lady!" Kiro really like to make scene and shouted.

Yue ignored Kiro's nonsense until she managed to catch up to the person but when she was about to call stop she decided to discontinue and just hid at the corner.

Just now, another person ran from the opposite and meet with the one she was running after.

"Sister! How come you didn't tell me that the dress was made such way?" the first person to speak was the one Yue was following. There was a slight interrogation in her tone but the other party obviously didn't notice and responded enthusiastically.

"Isn't it awesome! Even I was surprised that Ms. Yue was able to think of something like that. Oh sister, I was so scared back then, but thankfully I trusted Ms. Yue. She is so great" the person talking couldn't stop her excitement and continued her praise not noticing the unpleasant look on the other party's face.

Kafi's praise made Yue a bit shy. The lass had really exaggerated everything.

"Ms. Yue here, Ms. Yue there. Continue to praise your Ms. Yue but she almost got you into trouble" irritation was evident.

"No! I believe someone tried to set her up. Sister how could you think that way!" finally, Kafi was able to recognize that something's wrong. Usually her sister is always patient with dealing with her especially that she has low self-esteem, but she didn't know why today she seem to be temperamental.

"I shouldn't have brought you here. Let's go home" the person tried to dismiss the issue. She thought that it's not a good place to argue and then pulled Kafi away.

Despite the resistance in her heart, Kafi obediently walked after her sister.

Her only regret was that she wasn't able to say her goodbye to Yue.

When Yue witnessed this scene and decided not to interfere for the moment, but she wrote the debt in her heart.

"I didn't expect that there was still a backstage drama here" Kiro who followed Yue suddenly spoke. He actually managed to keep his mouth shut during that small span of time.

"Can you help me investigate her?" Yue immediately asked for Kiro's help, since Kafi's sister is also part of the company, the request isn't considered excessive.

"No problem. After witnessing such situation, did you think that she has something to do with the incident earlier?" even if it looks like a normal sisterly banter but the both of them can detect some hidden thoughts.

"I wanted to know if it's just a simple jealousy or if someone instigated that person" if Kafi's sister was able to hide her thoughts from Kafi all these years then she could prove to be a cautious person. For today's matter, it looks more like someone asked her to do the dirty job since it doesn't seem like that well planned.

"Either way, for her to agree to do that means she never had a good mind towards her sister. Seeing how you were able to bring out the potential of the little lady, I bet the sister would be more envious of her situation. Such a good seedling, I hope she'll be able to grow well even after this" Kiro can see the value of Kafi, there's bound to be someone else among the guests tonight who also did. If Kafi could grab this opportunity, then it will really help her in her career path. She just needed to make sure not to let her sister or anyone interfere with her.

"I'll make sure she will" Yue felt connected with Kafi. She wouldn't let the child be buried due to some mindless scheming.

Yue stepped outside the building and felt exhilarated. It may not show into her face earlier but she was really happy that she gained another step towards her goal.

Light-footed were her steps and unconsciously she hummed a happy tune and walking towards the parking space she saw a man illuminated by the pale yellow post light.

Her walking subconsciously speeded up.

"Brother I made it!" Yue really wanted to celebrate this moment that when she saw Yyan she gave him a hug and even forgot the awkwardness between them eversince they confirmed her true existence.

"My Yue had always been great. I'm so proud of you" Despite the momentary surprise by Yue's sudden intimacy, Yyan took the chance to hug her back with one arms while the other patted her soft hair.

Hearing those words, Yue's ear reddened and realized that she had been too close to Yyan. Despite the comfortable and secure feeling, Yue extracted herself from Yyan's arms.

"I-, uhm, thank you brother" Yue sounded like a mosquito that she almost wanted to slap herself.

"Let's go get some dinner" Yyan didn't make it hard for Yue and took her hands towards the car.

Yue simply stared at their hands but didn't resist.
