"Pfft! Sorry, Master, I was just joking," Miranda laughed, covering her mouth when she saw Leon's surprised expression.
"You..." Leon felt the corner of his mouth twitch.
He hadn't anticipated being tricked like this, leaving him feeling somewhat helpless.
Miranda giggled for a few moments before finally stopping and coughing slightly.
"Ahem! I'm sorry, Master, but your face was too serious, and I just wanted to break the ice," Miranda admitted with a smile, giving Leon a teasing wink.
Leon wasn't upset; he just chuckled and shook his head.
"It's okay. I know I was being too serious because my curiosity was really piqued," Leon remarked lightly, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Then, taking the last sip of coffee in his cup, Leon asked again with a more relaxed expression, "So, can you tell me about the matter?"
Miranda smiled and nodded, wiggling her fingers to refill Leon's previously empty coffee cup.
