Mrs. Li puts three cups of hot instant tea in front of the three men, her eyes glinting at the beautiful sight in front of her.
Three men in suits are such eye-candy. Her living room seemed small with the three of them huddled on the long couch.
They thanked her and extend their long fingers to pick the cup, wary of the old woman's eyes following their every move.
Tasting the tea, Guan almost throws it up into the mug. Right then and there, he knows it is not authentic tea leaves. He looks at the others beside him and, lo and behold, Su Bin and Zheng Li An are casually taking a sip on the mug as if they are enjoying the drink.
Their smiling faces made Guan want to splash his drink on them.
"Are you not enjoying the tea? Should I get you something different?" Mrs. Li asks when she noticed Guan holding the cup but not taking the time to drink it.
"Ah, no, it's fine. The tea is fine, thank you, Mrs. Li," he replies and finally takes a sip.
