"Madame, good evening." Lady Yum greeted Yoojin courteously.

"How is Anna?"

"She is resting in her room, Madame. I believe she's still awake, would you like me to summon her down?"

"No need Lady Yum. I'll go myself. Prepare the bedroom next to hers, I'll be staying with her here indefinite."

"Yes, Madam." Lady Yum left the sitting room, but when Miran was to follow her, Yoojin stopped her.

"Miran, did Jeha came by?"

"Ahm, yes, Madame. He kept Anna's company until after dinner and Doc Seokhan also was here."

"He was? How was it?" Yoojin knows that the two men are interested with Anna, but she also knows it's going to be complicated now for everyone.

"After JeHa left Seokhan stayed not long, they just had a little chitchat." Miran paused then added, "Our young Miss is now comfortable around Seokhan, they were looking friendly earlier, but.. Ahm, Madame, I don't know if I should tell you this, but I think the two men are courting the Young Miss."

Yoojin gave her a smile and said, "Don't worry about them, I know that they like my daughter. They will both answer to me." Then she went upstairs to see Anna.

Miran was looking at her Madame puzzled. "What could she meant by those words." She thought.

Yoojin knew Anna was already sleeping because her lights were off. She just went inside to see her and kiss goodnight. 

Anna woke up from the sound of the chirping birds. She opened her eyes to close it again when she was met by the sunlight shining through her window. As she saw her bedside digital clock, 7:18am, she realized she hadn't had a peaceful sleep for a long.

She lay still and stretching as she remembers the happenings yesterday. JeHa visited her and an automatic smile broke on her face thinking of her time with him. But then, Seokhan came to vision and what he told her last night. It made her frown and decided to think of it some other time. Then the thoughts of her mother came in. She knew she had to speak to her about the current situation they're in, whether they want it or not. She must make her mother realize she is no longer alone. She wants her mother to stop carrying the burden alone of what her father left them with.

A soft knock on her bedroom door fully awakens Anna.

"Yes, Lady Yum, I'll be down in..." Anna stops when she saw her mother coming in with a smile.

"How's my princess this morning." Yoojin warmly smiles at her.

Anna jumps up and gave her mother a tight hug. "Ma, I'm glad to see you at last. You were avoiding me." She can't help but complains to Yoojin.

"Oh, I'm sorry, if you felt that. I was just busy with a few things, but I am here now."

"I'm really sorry, Princess." Yoojin keeps rubbing her back. She also misses her daughter.

"By the way, I cooked breakfast for you. Get ready and we'll have a busy day."

"Oh, so we'll be going out. Geez, thanks, Ma, I'm kind of tired staying her all day." Anna doesn't feel complaining right now about her mother's "where and what" about. There's other time for that.

"Ok, I'll wait for you downstairs." Yoojin kissed her then head out for Anna to clean up. 

"Boss, here are the files that will be discussed later, I have rearranged also your schedule for the day as you instructed."
