Being barraged by so many questions, Mei felt like crying. Her emotionless facade had been broken long ago. Now, she was teetering on collapsing.
It might seem she was exaggerating and being overdramatic, but she was not. It was far from the truth.
Her friend, Yoshiko, had done so much for her. Yet, she could not handle a single task.
After what felt like an eternity, Mei took a deep breath and hesitantly answered, "Branch Leader… there's a small problem. Chef Lucian was moments away from completing the last 153 Siren's Melody Poached Eggs, but there was sabotage. The eggs… are poisoned with Voidtear Essence."
On the other end, in Yoshiko's office, she stiffened, unable to believe her ears.
Poisoned…
Voidtear Essence…
*Pa*
Yoshiko's tail flicked against a nearby shelf, sending it crashing to the ground.
For a few seconds, Yoshiko remained silent, then inhaled deeply.
