Coffees

Chapter 9: Coffees

"Would you like a coffee?" Mr. Williards broke the silence.

"If you would be so kind. My sisters and brothers would love it. We love coffee. Right guys?" Sir Richard said, he was sitting in front of Mr. Celestino and smiled.

His siblings nodded but their face is still serious. The only one that smiled is Ms. Grina who looks out of place in the tension between them. She was looking around and staring at the plants inside the office, her eyes big in wonder.

"Please make them a nice coffee Ms. Loera and Ms. Summers." Mr. williards smiled at us.

I almost run to the coffee maker to avoid the tension between them. When Megan and I entered the room, five unknown people are already sitting on the sofa and the tension between them and our boss was shocking. I can almost see the visible line of tension that is occurring between them!

My nervousness was doubled when Sir Killian glared at me. From the moment I entered the door, I can feel his glare making holes into my body! The glare intensify when Mr. Willards introduced us to guests who were apparently their long-time business partners.

"I would like a tea please." a small feminine voice requested.

I turned around and saw Ms. Grina looking at us with her sweet smile. My eyes widen and blushed. How can a human be this cute and elegant? It was the first time that she talked and I could instantly tell that she is sweet and kind! I bet all the man in the room is attracted to her right now!

"I'm an expert at making tea. You would not be disappointed." Megan said and smiled at her. I bet Megan is also attracted to her.

I raised my eyebrows at her. Since when did she become an expert in making tea?

"We should not be violent in front of these beautiful plants." Ms. Grina said.

"We are not being violent sister, we are talking about this privately. The plants will not be harmed." Sir Richard said.

But the humans could be harmed?!

My eyes went wide as I sneak a peek at them. Mr. Celestino and Sir Richard were staring at each other intensely. Sir Killian and Mr. Willards tense as they observe the siblings in front of them. The siblings are as tense as them with the exception of Ms. Grina whose eyes are full of wonder as she stared at the cactus plant on the coffee table.

How are they gonna start talking if no one starts talking?!

Frustrated, I stirred the coffee aggressively thus making a clinking sound. I can feel their eyes on me and Megan elbowing me but I did the same on the next coffee that I was making.

"Here is your tea Ms. Grina." Megan gave the tea to Ms. Grina.

"Thank you."

I brought the coffee in a tray and laid them on the coffee table in front of them.

"Here are your coffees. Please have a nice talk." I said and smiled at the siblings.

There are five of them. Sitting at the center is Mr. Richard with his blond wavy hair that reaches under his ears. He was the only one among the rest of his siblings that wears formal attire with his maroon suit. Sitting on his right is Ms. Grina that is wearing a green dress under her brown coat. Beside her is a man with short hair that is the smallest among the rest of them. He was constantly glaring and snickering which made me wonder if his head is alright

Sitting on Mr. Richard's left side is a man who has light brown hair—I think his name was Allistair. He was by far the calmest among the rest. He reminds me of Mr. Williards but less smiling and talking. Still, he does not look like he will start a fight with anybody without any valid reason. Beside him is the palest man I've ever seen in my entire life. He is on the level of Edward Cullen in twilight! Anyone who sees twilight will mistake him for Edward Cullen because of the resemblance and the paleness.

He did not get Edward Cullen's temper though because I've never seen his eyes rest from his glare since I got in.

How can a man even not stop glaring?

As I stare at them from my seat I noticed that they did not look alike at all. Their physical trait is too different for them to be siblings. The pale skin of the angry one did not match any of his siblings. Their facial features are also too different.

"How's the coffee?" Mr. Willards asked.

"The coffee tastes okay," Allistair said as he hold the mug in his hands as if it was not made not too long ago.

My eyes widen and I almost stood up to stop him from gripping the coffee so tightly when I noticed that he did not even flinch at the hot mug of coffee. He seems to even enjoy holding it as he held it with his two palms!

I swear that the coffee was boiling hot when I made them! It is not possible for it to get cool down in a short amount of time. I can still even see the smoke that it releases! But this man treats it like it was just a cool coffee that isn't burning his skin.

I stared at him with my eyes wide open and my mouth slightly agape.

Mr. Willlards who is looking at Allistair suddenly looked at me, making me look away from staring at Mr. Allistair.

It'll be bad if he saw me gawking at Mr. Allistair like he was some snack to eat! I want to keep my reputation as good as an angel in this company!

"Isn't the coffee hot Mr. Allistair?" Mr. Willards asked.

Mr. Allistair's eyes widen and he quickly looked at me who was now staring at him again.

I can't help it if my eyes want to know how he can hold that hot coffee.

"It is hot!" He said, his voice sounding higher, "It burned my hands." he said and placed the coffee down on the coffee table.

I squinted my eyes, my head slightly tilting.

He looked at me again before looking away and rubbing his hands together like he was relieving the pain.

He was okay a minute ago though.
