Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

A certificate was carefully taken out by her.

The cover bore the words "Professional Tea Sommelier Certificate" in both English and large, bold letters. What else could it denote if not a high-level mastery in the art of tea?

"Is this sufficient? Or shall I bring it closer for you to see clearly?" Roseanne lifted her gaze, looking indifferently at Millie.

Millie's eyes widened in disbelief. She actually had it?!

Despite the evidence right before her eyes, she stubbornly refused to admit defeat, retorting, "Certificates can be faked, you know."

Roseanne chuckled, "Certificates have a unique number. You can easily verify it on the official website."

Someone eager to join in the fun quickly checked the number on Roseanne's certificate with their smartphone and then announced loudly, "Wow! It's true! The information matches up perfectly. No forgery here."

Grinding her teeth, Millie desperately tried to save face, "So what if you have a certificate? That doesn't prove your tea skills are actually good. Nowadays, it's easy for mediocrity to hide behind a title. Buying your way to a high-level tea sommelier certification must have been quite simple, right?"

Roseanne seemed to have anticipated this response, lifting her gaze slightly with a cool tone, "Then watch closely now, as I show you exactly how I earned my certificate."
