However, she did not give it much further thought, she simply assumed that Andy had achieved his goals in life and had brought over his parents from the countryside. They just happened to not be accustomed to a wealthy lifestyle yet.
“Mr. Yard informed me that your wedding anniversary is in a few days. Do you have a preferred design? Tell me what you like and I’ll draw up a rough sketch for you,” said Olivia as she took a pen and a scrap of paper from her pocket, intending to start working.
It was then Andy poured her a cup of tea and interrupted, “Don’t worry, Miss Maxwell. Please have a drink first. My parents are rather clueless about fashion, so please design whatever suits them.” “All right,” Olivia replied as she politely took the tea cup and had a sip after that, but the tea tasted strange to her.
“Are you a regular tea drinker? This is a homemade tea made by a friend of mine. Most people find the first sip a little unsettling, but once you get used to the taste, you’ll be fine. You can detect the fragrance of the tea if you taste it carefully. The bittersweet flavor melts in your mouth and leaves a pleasant aftertaste.”
Olivia frowned slightly. Maybe I’m just not an avid tea-drinker? She took another sip while looking at Andy. Sure enough…
The tea appeared to have a subtle foreign fragrance in addition to the tea fragrance, but it was obscured by the strong tea scent. No one would be able to notice it without tasting it carefully.
However, this was not the lack of accustomization he reasoned, but there were drugs in the tea! Olivia fixed her gaze on the man. What the hell is he doing? Is he attempting to harm me after knocking me out with this?
She set the teacup down quietly. “How is it?” inquired Andy. “Not bad,” Olivia replied, “but where is the restroom?”
“There,” he said, pointing to the bathroom. Olivia gave a slight nod before entering the restroom. She looked around for an exit, but the bathroom had no windows. I have a slim chance of escaping….
Due to that, she was forced to leave the bathroom. She went up to Andy and said, “Mr. Yard, please accept my apologies. I just got a phone call and something urgent came up. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to design for your parents today. I’ll come back another time,” she mentioned as she hurriedly exited the house.
Andy exclaimed while chasing after Olivia. “Hey, Miss Maxwell! Wait up! I’m only available today. You might as well take their body measurements while you’re here. It won’t take long. Plus, you don’t have to design for them today!”
“I’m really in a big hurry.” Olivia avoided him and desperately wanted to leave. He once again stopped her and questioned, “What’s going on, Miss Maxwell?” Seeing how she was repeatedly stopped by Andy, she knew it was impossible for her to leave quietly. Unfrightened, she then looked at him with a piercing gaze.
“Did you call me here to design clothes for your parents, or did you have something else in mind?” “Miss Maxwell, I’m not sure what you’re on about!” Andy pretended to be taken aback.
“I bet they aren’t even your parents!” Olivia pointed to the elderly couple beside him. “Please get to the point, Miss Maxwell.” He presented a frowned expression.
“Alright! You mentioned that your father is a retired cadre while your mother is a high-born maiden, but your parents have thick calluses on their hands, so they had to be labor workers. You said that your parents are locals, but I don’t hear them speaking in a Summer City accent. And if I’m not mistaken, you drugged my tea, didn’t you?”
Hearing this, Andy was completely taken aback. Had she only mentioned his parents’ jobs and accents, he could have still debated his way out, but that was not the case…
