Chapter 295: Not Welcome
Talia decided to be careful from now on. As much as this place gives her creeps and the people working here hated her, and every fibre of her being wanted for her to run back home, she was invited by Fred’s father and she cannot humiliate him by leaving early, or exposing that his staff is acting disrespectfully to her - his guest.
She knew the staff cannot go overboard and in that case they will only shame their master. So they will only try to intimidate her, but they really cannot, unless she let’s them.
Plus, she didn’t want Fred- the hothead to get mad in his home on her behalf. He’s here after a long time and they had just learnt their father has a bad heart. Their father just wants to see his children together, being happy, before he goes for a surgery. Although Fred made it seem like the surgery is very low-risk, it still is a surgery in his heart and it should have its risks too.
She didn’t want to cause trouble.
Minty pea soup was served first as an appetizer. Everyone was chatting merrily with the exception of Roderick as he was in deep thoughts.
Talia picked up the soup spoon and as she looked at the bowl, she was stunned.
That can’t be jelly on top of the soup, right?
Talia checked other’s bowls without making it obvious, and found that, the blob was only in her bowl soup.
Someone actually spat in my soup?
