"Ah, this..." Upon hearing Ji Burlen's words, Heidi stopped in her tracks, her eyes widening, she looked instinctively towards Suladi, then back at Ji Burlen.
She indeed had two cups of tea on her tray, because Suladi had told her earlier that a guest would be coming, but she had not expected this guest to seem like no good.
This...
"The remaining cup of tea in your hand, you can give it to me, right?" Ji Burlen asked again at this point.
Heidi didn't know what to do.
"Meow!"
A completely black cat appeared at the study's doorway, with green, oily light shooting from its eyes, as if sensing some danger, arching its body and crying out.
Hearing the cat's meow, Heidi shuddered slightly and steadied her spirit, took a deep breath and calmed a bit.
"That..." Heidi looked at Ji Burlen, tried to muster a small smile, and spoke, "Sir... since you want tea... okay then... actually, the tea isn't that tasty... I was planning to switch it with another cup for you..."
