===================
As Suzain answered the phone, Ethan gazed at her, savoring the delightful aroma of the tea wafting through the air.
He took occasional small sips, relishing each one as he listened to the conversation unfold.
"Hello?"
"Hmm, I'll be there in a little while. Got held up with something."
"You're closing up early today?"
"Alright, got it. I'll hurry up and head over."
After conversing with whomever was on the other end of the phone call, she abruptly ended the conversation and then turned her gaze towards him.
She seemed contemplative, her brow furrowed slightly as if pondering the discussion she had just concluded.
Then she said to Ethan apologetically, "Sorry, Ethan, but could you please wait here for a little while? I assure you, I'll return as swiftly as I can."
