Hearing Carlos call her, Mikayla rose from the couch, handed the items in her hand to a housekeeper, and walked over. She and Carlos went to chat with Garrett and Selena. Just then, the housekeeper brought over several cups of coffee.

Carlos first offered coffee to Garrett, saying, "Dad, please have some coffee."

"Thank you." Garrett smiled as he took a cup and sipped.

At the same time, Mikayla took another cup from the housekeeper and offered it to Selena in a pleasant tone. "Selena, please have some coffee as well."

Just as Selena was about to take the cup, Mikayla felt someone push her from behind. She lost her balance, and the coffee was about to spill, but Carlos quickly shielded Selena with a handkerchief, preventing the coffee from spilling all over her. He also supported Mikayla, keeping her from falling to the ground. At the same time, the cup fell to the ground, causing a loud, shattering noise. "Mika, are you okay?" Carlos asked anxiously.

Mikayla shook her head and looked at Carlos. There were some coffee stains on his hand and his black suit. He got a tissue from a housekeeper and wiped his hands and clothes. The impact was not harsh, but it caught her completely off guard.

"Carlos, Mikayla, are you both all right?" Selena asked with concern.

Behind Mikayla, a housekeeper was trembling, her body shaking as she stammered, "I-I accidentally bumped into Mrs. Ludwig. I'm so sorry." As she said that, she began to choke up.

"What's wrong with you? What if you had burned Mikayla or us? Is this your first day working at the Ludwig mansion?" Selena rarely spoke so sternly.

"Enough! Forgive her. Today is an important day," Garrett said. Next, he smiled and instructed a middle-aged housekeeper, "Myla, please bring another cup of coffee."

"Yes, sir," Myla Lindry replied.

Hearing Garrett's words, Selena smiled again. "You're right!"
