“You don’t have to see yourself as an outsider, Miss Tillman. How can you refuse a cup of tea when you’re already at my house? Isn’t that disrespectful?” John made it clear that he was upset.

Meanwhile, Anastasia stared at the cup of tea and made a decision before she took the tea and drank it. “President Curtis, it’s already late now, so why don’t we sign the contract now? My colleague is still waiting for me outside.”
