Chapter 53

"I can't sleep after drinking coffee at night."

"This isn't coffee."

He was right. There was a brown and clear liquid in the cup instead of coffee. However, Rubica was still suspicious, so he added, "I drink it from time to time when I get a headache. It's good to drink it before sleeping."

Was it the drink Carl had proudly introduced to her in front of Edgar's office this morning?

"Tea?"

"Yes, you know it?"

Edgar's lips curled up again as few people knew well about tea in Seritos.

"Carl told me about it, that's how I know."

"I see."

Rubica thought about it for a moment and carefully took a sip. Then, she frowned and said, "It smells weird, and it's bitter."

"No way."

Had he made a mistake when making it? He quickly drank from his own cup.

"But it smells good and it's delicious."

"Not to me."

Rubica gave him back the cup of tea, and Edgar put it on the table. He was a little sad that Rubica didn't like his favorite drink.
