The awkwardness continued after Lim Xian and Li Meilin had breakfast together. Just as soon as Li Meilin finished eating and saw that her master had finished eating as well, she stood from her chair immediately and walked towards her master to pick up his plate.
"Are you finished eating, master?" Li Meilin asked, not really looking at Lim Xian.
On the other hand, Lim Xian was staring at her as if he was staring at some other creature from another planet.
"No, I haven't. Until you tell me what's causing you to avoid me, we are not done yet here."
Li Meilin wants to say something back to him, something like a witty response. But the tone on Lim Xian's voice tells her that he is dead serious about it.
Looking away, Li Meilin said, "Nothing. I just think that I'm just doing the right thing here being your personal maid and all."
Hearing that from her, Lim Xian can't help but raise his eyebrows at her.
