The next day, around ten in the morning, Lilia received the jade earrings she won from yesterday's auction. She kept the jewelry carefully. Lilia planned to give it to Claire when she went to Jakarta for a film shooting.
Jean had left for the office since 8 o'clock earlier, so Lilia was alone at home. She spent that whole morning practicing making tea as Alfred had taught her.
As the sun rose higher and higher in the sky, Lilia got a call from Harold.
"Rina's punishment has been determined." When Harold said that, he sounded gloomy instead of being happy.
Lilia stirred her cup and inhaled the strong aroma of tea. It looked like she had started to master how to make tea. Lilia put down her cup before answering Harold, "Isn't that a good thing? So why do you sound gloomy?"
The sound of Harold clicking his tongue made Lilia smile dryly. Was the manager dissatisfied with the punishment Rina received?
