Treasuring Connections

"You did what?!" Katherine's eyes almost popped out of their sockets when she heard her grandfather's words. Just a few seconds ago, she was calmly admiring how the chamomile tea smelled so good. Now, all she could smell was her own sweat — a product of her nervousness.

Chairman Young almost spilled the Oolong tea in his cup when his granddaughter exploded in shock. A curse nearly escaped from his mouth but just like the nobleman that he was, he simply closed his mouth.

The two were in the living room of the Young Mansion, enjoying afternoon tea when Chairman Young told Katherine that he invited Damien Park to her "Welcome Home Party" the next day. 

He spoke so casually and even expected to hear Katherine's appreciation, instead, he almost got scalded with his tea because of her shock.
