Have a taste

Verina glared at the maid. She had come in here to take soup to her sister, but to her surprise, this maid had dished the soup and was about to take it to Dalia.

However, that wasn't all; she caught her chatting with another maid and heard Dalia's name from their lips while the soup was placed on the kitchen counter. It was as if she had forgotten to deliver her message.

She had entered, and the maids had fallen silent, bowing towards her. But that wasn't of her interest, for she was more suspicious of the maid. So she had asked the maid to taste the soup. But this maid stared at her with wide eyes before bowing her head, as if offering an apology.

Back at her home, maids did taste the food before it was served, but it wasn't done all the time, especially from a trusted maid. Yet, no one can truly trust anyone, and she wasn't going to take any chances when it came to her sister.
