"Better now come on, drink it so that we can sleep. And look at the shards on the floor! They are scattered all over. So, you can not sleep on the floor. You better sleep on the sofa!" Hazel admonished again and this time Elie bowed her head and nodded without any reluctance. She only bit her lips which made Hazel sigh!
Should she be sad that Elie had turned so obedient suddenly!
"Sigh! I am doing this for your betterment, little girl, so don't make me feel guilty!`` Hazel shook her head as she finally looked at the tea in her hands.
"Yes, elder miss. I trust you." came the low voice of the girl bringing a wave of surprise on the face of hazel which soon turned into a soft smile.
She traced the corners of the cup with her little finger and sniffed the tea. But she frowned when the smell passed her nostrils!
The smell was odd. She had never smelt that type of fragrance from her tea before.
