Chapter 83 Being a Happy Couple
Hearing her words, Mr. Zach- the marketing department director immediately signaled his subordinates with glances.
However, Amelia cast cold glances at Stella as she sneered, "I remember Ms. Taylor is pretty good at serving tea to the guests. Then please go and make me a cup of tea!"
At this instance, all eyes turned to Stella. The conflict between the real daughter and the illegitimate daughter seems to never seems to be resolved.
Stella stood up, looked at her, and walked toward the kitchen with a blank expression.
As soon as David remembered the people who planned to merge Oliver's and Celeb's company together, he broke out in cold sweat.
Just as he stood up and decided to stop Stella, he stopped and thought, 'Maybe it's just a coincidence? Maybe they were planning to merge their companies, but it just happened to be in time for Stella's accident...'
Anyway, Stella's background still remained a mystery, but not Amelia's.
He couldn't offend Amelia- the real daughter- for Stella's sake, who was an illegitimate daughter.
Having made up his mind, David sat back and remained silent like the others.
Not long after, Stella returned with a tea tray. She served everyone with a cup of tea. And soon, the conference room was filled with the tea aroma.
When she placed the teacup in front of Amelia, the latter threw a casual glance at it and raised the teacup to her mouth but didn't drink it. Instead, she sniffed it and frowned slightly.
"This tea..."
Everyone put down their teacups and looked at her in silence. Amelia sneered, "The color of this tea is so dark, did you even wash it before brewing?"
"Ms. Taylor, do you actually know how to brew tea? Don't you know that rinsing is the very first step in brewing tea? The first infusion of tea should be poured out! Hah, you can't even do such a small task- then how could you take on the role of a manager?"
"You're lucky to be serving me today." Amelia crossed her arms as she boasted arrogantly, "If you were to serve someone else, wouldn't you be the laughing stock? Oh please Ms. Taylor, bear in mind that you represent the image of the company! You must never make a mistake like that again, got it?"
Stella, on the other hand, looked at her indifferently.
"Of course, I am aware that I am the image of the company. That's why I'm using the finest quality of tea to serve you, Miss Taylor."
"Is this the FINEST QUALITY TEA you meant?"
"This is White Tipped Oolong Tea, also named the Oriental Beauty." Stella chuckled, "We don't need to wash this type of tea as we drink the leaf bud. This is because it contains a lot of amino acids and theophylline. If we wash it, these compounds will be washed away."
Within seconds, Amelia's face became distorted as the others continued to drink the tea to hide their giggles.
Amelia, who lost her face at that moment stood up abruptly and glared at Stella.
"What? How dare you pretend to understand the tea? Have you ever seen those fine teas that my dad usually serves me? Don't fool me with that Oriental Beauty you mentioned earlier! I have never heard of such a thing before, and I bet that it is just some random tea dregs!"
Mr. Zach gave a dry laugh as he explained, "Well, Oriental Beauty is indeed the best tea in our company, and it is only served to VIPs. Well... I have heard that Sir Martinez of the Emberfall is very fond of this tea. So, the Martinez has spent millions of dollars just to purchase this kind of tea!"
"You're right!" Someone exclaimed, "How could it be tea dregs? You're just joking right, Miss Taylor?"
"You guys..." Amelia bit her lip as her face flushed with anger.
At the same time, Stella gave her sideways glance- which Amelia thought that was humiliating her.
Losing her composure in pure embarrassment, Amelia grabbed the tea cup and splashed the tea toward Stella's face without hesitation.
As if anticipating her reaction, Stella quickly dodged aside. The tea was poured onto the wall and the teacup broke into pieces.
Within seconds, the conference room fell into a sudden silence. Everyone was staring at Amelia who was acting like a shrew with their widening eyes.
"Miss Taylor, what are you doing?"
By this time, the two directors were already displeased with her rude behavior. If they were to cooperate with her, she would definitely cause them endless trouble!
