"Amy, take the tea. You have been absent-minded for a couple of hours." Andy stared at Amy who kept looking outside of the window in a trance.
"Andy, can you tell me why Richard didn't take a blind bit of notice of me? I don't know how his father's death relates to me. I also don't know why he was irritated when seeing me. I've done nothing." She was still concerned about Richard.
"It's true that you've done nothing, but we don't know about why there's misunderstanding between you." Andy witnessed Richard's rude attitude towards Amy. Didn't Richard love Amy? Why did he treat Amy so rudely? "That's all right. I deserved it. Although he treated me terribly at that time, I didn't give him a rough ride when he was in trouble. However, now he still treats me badly. This really confuses me." Amy took a sip of tea, regaining her composure.
"Maybe you should make things clear. Shall I call him out and you have a word?" Andy suggested her.
"No, it's not necessary. There is no misunderstanding at all. I saw all these things with my own eye. I witnessed his attitude. There is no misunderstanding. The only truth is that he is always calculating me. I shouldn't have been softened. Since he is in trouble, I won't add fuel to the fire. I like battling with my rivals when they are in normal condition."
"Okay, then take some time off. After he passes this difficult period, you can take action." Andy looked at Amy who was apparently anxious. He knew she loved Richard dearly, or else she wouldn't pick another time to take revenge. After dealing with his father's funeral, Richard felt extremely tired, mentally and physically. He wanted to cry somewhere, but he had no chance.
"Amy, I know you're kind. There must be some secrets, right?" Based on his understanding towards Amy, Richard thought Amy was likely to bear some bad things in her mind so that she did such thing to him. He made up his mind to have a word with Amy.
It was not easy to ask her out. At first Amy was angry with him, but later she was indeed busy. When the couple found time to meet each other, it was one month later.
"Mr. Carter, why do you wanna see me?" Amy asked Richard before taking the seat.
"Have a seat, please. Let's talk it over calmly." Richard said calmly. They had too many things to talk about, so neither of them should be in a hurry, or they were likely to argue with each other.
"Well, you start first." Amy sat opposite Richard. She liked this teahouse very much. The teahouse was run by Cathy. Amy enjoyed the tea and cookies served here. Smelling the odor from the tea, Amy felt she became relaxed gradually.
Richard didn't start the conversation immediately. Instead, he made tea and gave it to Amy. Meanwhile, he also gave her some cookies.
"Have some tea and cookies. They are my mum's new products and have the effect of refreshing the mind." Richard told Amy.
Amy glanced the cookies. They were indeed new products and it was her first time to see them. There were decorative patterns on the red cookies.
