The Accomplice (2)

Xhemin only looked at the tea that was served. She wasn't expecting that it was Franco Lagdameo they were meeting and although she knew she was safe so long as Darryl was there, she still didn't want to act carelessly. Franco Lagdameo's reputation precedes him and many had loathed the man for how dangerous and cruel he was. They say if one was to be invited in his presence, one should look after their very own safety cause as the man could kill as easily as he breathes and that was the very reason Xhemin was so hesitant in taking a sip of the tea.

"Go on," Franco encouraged her to drink. It was obvious from the way he looked at Xhemin that he was playing on her by frightening her to drink from the tea, however, even before Franco could laugh at Xhemin's hesitation, Darryl took her cup and drank from it.
