"And I would also have some tea with you, my lady if you so wished. Lei-Lin, what about you?" Bora jumped in, willing to help alleviate the weirdness from the atmosphere and turn this into a tea party by bringing in some more people.
"Yes, some tea would do fine," answered another tall young woman offering back an awkward smile.
"Let's all have some tea!" Came to the conclusion the oldest of the women, who seemed to be the cook and who offered Soo-Ah a sympathetic nod.
Soo-Ah sighed in relief. It seemed everyone accepted her presence. Sitting at the table she was a little apprehensive to start a conversation since she did not know them well. But in the end, the servants picked up where they left off and she remained to listen. Keeping her mouth shut, all she could do was exchange looks with Jung-In and observe. She noticed how he was lavished with attention. Especially from Bora.
