I scoffed lightly. "Please don't say such things, Miss Reed. I've just finished eating."
The expression on Cindy's face changed abruptly.
Quinn did not seem to have noticed the dark, swirling tide of emotions between us and smiled as she said to me, "Wanda, sit down and try the flower tea I brewed. I'm sure you’ll like it."
I laughed coldly and sat down on the couch as I said," Well then, I'd better taste it and see if the flower tea you make is as indescribable as you are, Quinn."
Quinn seemed to not understand the underlying mockery in my words and maintained an elegant smile on her face as she said, "I'm sure you won't be disappointed."
I picked up the teacup and took a sip from it before commenting calmly, “Sure enough, it's indescribable."
If she truly wanted me to try the tea she brewed, then I was indeed disappointed. As I raised my wrist to check the time on my watch, I said quietly, "I have a video meeting to attend. You two enjoy your chat."
As I spoke, I stood up to leave.
"Theowy is back," Cindy said happily as she stood and looked toward the villa's entrance.
Visible unhappiness spread across Theo's face when h e walked into the villa and saw Cindy. After taking off his jacket and handing it to Miss Woods, he walked over and asked, "Have you had dinner?"
I nodded. "Have you eaten?”
Theo smiled as he shook his head. "I haven't eaten because I’m not hungry. The driver told me that you went out today. Where did you go?"
"I went to the mall to shop." I could not tell him that I had gone to meet Heidi because Cindy was here.
