When the waitress reached the table she'd selected, she asked,"Is this one acceptable? The lighting is a little dim here."
Looking around, Mond nodded,"This one is fine. A Miss Sally will join me shortly, please show her to this table," Mond informed the waitress as he took the seat that allowed him to view the room.
The waitress bowed,"Okay Sir, I will." she turned and left.
Mond gazed appreciatively at the decorations used in the room. They were simple but the unique style gave them a classic, clean feel. The tea shop was done in a muted dark grey with frames hanging on the walls. Each frame had an elegant written introduction to a different tea. This literary decoration gave the tea shop an elegant and royal feel to it. The windowsills held several flowerpots, which added a vibrant and cheerful tone, and in turn, brought the entire shop to life.
From where he sat, he could see to the other side of street and pedestrians walking along going in and out of the shops. Along with the shops, there were two stallholders selling knick-knacks. Not far away from the two stallholders was a bus stop where a lot of people were waiting. Maybe it was because that it was in urban district, there were a lot more pedestrians than drivers, so the few cars on the road were not moving very fast.
The scene outside the window got Mond thinking, 'If I weren't rich, I would be just like one of those people walking out there, working hard to survive, worrying over the small matters and living unnoticed. But then again, I also wouldn't be as anxious as I am now. I would think less and work more.' Suddenly, Mond longed for such a life.

"Do you know what you did wrong? It's alright if you just wanted to own me. But you should not have helped Molly leave me!"
When Brian learns the truth, there is no chance for Hannah to win his heart.
Molly, who wants to run away from Brian, seems to be the only one to blame for Hannah's misfortune...
est. It was precisely as Mond said, there were no feelings between the two of them to complicate what he chose to do.
Mond seethed quietly and clenched his teeth as he said,"Sally He! Do I need to repeat myself? If I have to tell you a second time, your consequences will be far harsher than they are now." His voice was firm even though his expression remained unreadable.
Sally knew her actions yesterday must have upset Jackson and Mond, which led Mond to meeting her today, and this ultimatum. Looking at Mond's cold face, Sally knew she had no options remaining. Even knowing this, she requested,"May I stay a few more days?"
Mond firmly shook his head,"No! You must be gone tomorrow. You can't stay for even one hour beyond that!"
"But I..." before Sally could get her sentence out, Mond interrupted her.
Mond lowered his voice and narrowed his eyes as he informed her,"Sally, don't! I'm telling you if you dare dream about getting close to Jackson, I'll kill you! After that, I'll ship your corpse far from the city!" He knew Sally was cruel, so he needed her to know in advance what will happen if she plotted anything else.
