"Ahh... It's hot… hot… It's burning…." Cassie shouted and almost spilled the coffee on her thighs.
"Alex, get her some cold water… Fast," Melissa ordered and took the cup from her hands.
"Eat some pastry, it will help you soothe the throat. How could you be so careless?" Jennifer stuffed her mouth with a huge piece of pastry.
Alex ran inside and brought a bottle of cold water from the fridge. Melissa opened the cap and made her drink a few sips of water.
"Are you feeling ok now?" Melissa asked her.
Cassie nodded her head but she still felt her throat burn and her tongue became numb.
"Fine then! From now on, no one will ask about your 'so-called' hater boyfriend." Melissa said and made her jump up in dread.
"He is not my boyfriend," Cassie said while rubbing her aching throat.
"Alright, then! Not boyfriend but a hater whom you like," Melissa twisted the words and teased Cassie.
