Without waiting for an answer, the servant found a tray under the stove and began cing the four cups of tea onto it.
Mia whirled around, her face flushed with anger. “Who gave you permission to touch my tea?”
The servant''s hands shook, and she stammered, “Miss Brown, what seems to be the matter?”
“You need to put the tea back in the exact order | had it. If you mess it up, consider yourself fired.”
Her voice filled with uncertainty, she asked, “Are you sure about that?”
I''m sure.”
“Now get out!”

“My sister personally made this tea. Of course, | want to taste it. I''ll drink it right away.”
Without hesitation, Millie lifted her cup and drank. Curiosity gnawed at her; she wanted to stay and discover what effect Mia’s
mysterious addition would have.
