The tea is ready.
Haina put the fragrant Qimen in front of her, put in three spoonfuls of sugar, five spoonfuls of milk and one spoonful of honey, and stir it carefully.
Carmen watched, watched her stir up the tea soup, took it to the tip of her nose, smelled it, immediately put it down dissatisfied, started the second round of feeding, and finally couldn't help it.
"Yesla, if you don't like the bitter taste of tea, why don't you just drink sweet milk?"
Haina added the ingredients slowly and without hesitation: "sweet milk lacks the unique astringency and taste of tea. Moreover, I don't hate the bitterness of tea, but I don't like the acidity."
"Then boil the leaves into the milk! You know, you ruined the tea!"
"Really?" Hannah tilted her head and thought, "Noah, do you want honey?"
Noah glanced at the angry Carmen secretly, lowered her head and gently answered "Hmm".
Girlfriend tea party... This is the name given by the crew of the yelaixiang to the most terrible VIP tea room on board.
Here, you can often smell strong smoke of gunpowder and see the light of the knife and the shadow of the sword.
The crew also found that Ms. Carmen Xavier, the most dignified woman in the chamber of Commerce except Lorraine, and MS. heina yesla, who is said to be stronger than Lorraine, always took the attack in anger, while Noah Sala, the most loved among sailors, rarely fought back. Of course, the attacks against her these days may be less than her.
Have fun.
Gossip is human nature. Although the crew of the nocturnal incense will not and dare not desecrate these three legendary women who may become the chairman's wife at any time, the topic is still inevitably around them.
For example
Yelaixiang is here for a banquet. It naturally needs a female companion to accompany it. But generally, a gentleman will only bring one female companion. Who is Lorraine going to take?
If Lorraine does take one of the three, what about the other two?
Curiosity, worry, expectation... Strange thoughts gathered in that small temporarily modified VIP tea room, but the three involved were the same as before.
Once again hit a soft nail, Carmen ran to the balcony of the cabin to blow the wind.
The sea breeze is pleasant.
In front of us is the boundless and vast blue ocean, and there are lively dolphins jumping out of the water on the boat marks. Carmen looked at these and suddenly heard the sound of imperceptible footsteps.
"Slightly imperceptible" is to avoid scaring her deliberately aggravated footsteps. Carmen can feel the goodwill in the footsteps, and knows that only Noah will do so in the cabin.
"Carmen..." Noah's timid voice came from behind.
Carmen opened his eyes and said, "sorry, Noah, I always seem to lose my temper recently..."
"It's okay, we all understand." Noah came up and gently held Carmen's hand. "You see, Haina and I don't know how to socialize. This occasion should be the time for you and the captain to be alone..."
"That's not the problem."
"Isn't it...?"
"No," said Carmen firmly, "our captain can always distinguish between public and private. I mean, if he only considers pure work, he will only bring me out this time."
Carmen in turn held Noah's hand and asked her to lean against the railing with her.
"You know what? It's strange that the three of us are here. What's changed in his heart? He must have a special mind to keep the three of us around."
Noah's face was red and dripping blood: "what... Special?"
"Believe it or not, I don't know. I guess jessla doesn't know." Carmen sighed in confusion. "For so many years, Lorraine has been somewhat indecisive in this regard. He doesn't want to hurt anyone, so no one dare promise..."
"But who knows? The war is over, our enemies are dead, and the new Canaanite ceremony is out."
"He is experiencing change. Without an enemy in the future, his life will become no different from that of other chaebols. Maybe... That's why he brought us all around."
Noah didn't understand: "why?"
"Public or private, he may feel that the matter should be settled, and he already has the answer in his heart."
"Really?"
"I said I don't know." Carmen smiled bitterly. "I only know that we have been entangled by the knot on our body for long enough. If we can't solve it, it may be a good result to cut it by him. At least it's better than now."
"Actually..." Noah whispered, "in fact, I don't think it's bad now."
"I don't like it, nor does jessla." Carmen shook his head. "The dock is here, Noah, let's go back..."
……
Under the guidance of the pilot ship, the nocturnal incense slowly berthed into the No. 5 wharf, like a little child, skillfully berthed beside the lion several tens of meters away.
Lorraine wanted to pretend that he didn't see shack's ship. Anyway, he didn't wonder whether shack was on the ship or why shack came.
However, it backfired. Before the ship stopped, he saw the disgusting Chris Emmons on the plank road, waving his hand to apply for the board.
"Chairman?" Captain Faye Raleigh asked for instructions with questions.
"Put down the planks and you'll receive them." Lorraine smelled. "Anyway, no matter what major general Emmons said, you told him I wasn't interested."
"Yes..."
The planks were down, and Raleigh didn't let Emmons get off the boat, but went down by himself.
Before long, he ran back to Lorraine.
"Mr. chairman, major general Emmons doesn't seem to be looking for you."
"Ah?"
Raleigh handed over a clean invitation and said, "the major general said that he had been ordered by Baroness Tavistock to invite your female companion to have evening tea. She will wait on the lion at eight o'clock sharp."
Lorraine was stunned. After staying for a long time, she said, "she? Them?"
"Er... I asked the major general. Now there are three ladies on board who meet the requirements. I don't know which one the Baroness wants to invite."
"What did he say?"
"He said you did a good job. In addition, he will inform the Baroness to prepare two more chairs and two sets of tea sets."
"Prepare two more sets..." Lorraine shriveled. "The major general is really as annoying as before."
Raleigh wisely declined to comment.
A moment later, Lorraine pinched the guardrail at hand: "Raleigh."
"My subordinates are here."
"Please convey your gratitude to the baroness, major general dekamen, Haina and Noah. They will be on time and look forward to meeting the baroness."
"Yes!"
"Eight o'clock in the evening..." looking at Raleigh getting off the ship again, Lorraine looked up at the sky, "there are about three hours left. How can time be enough..."
He dragged a sailor: "where are Haina and them?"
"In the teahouse, Mr. chairman," replied the sailor in a loud voice with his chest raised. "Do you want me to give you an order?"
"No, I think I need to tell them this by myself. I shouldn't fake others... Probably."
