Chapter 137

The door opened, and I saw a strange-looking guy in his mid-30s; he wasn't looking like someone who could afford such a big house. He walked into the sitting room and started conversing with the lady. I didn't know her name at this time, so I didn't ask but I was going to ask her after the conversation. From the conversation so far, it was evident that he was the landlord and not the owner of the house, so obviously he wasn't the one who picked me up from the bar last night. When he was done conversing with her, he left the room.

“What is your name? I didn't ask you.

“My name is Mrs. Sofia; you can call me Sofia. I am the house Manager. Please, you can have your tea so it doesn't get cold.

I took a sip of the tea but it was hotter than I thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to cool down a little since I waited for a while before sipping it.

"Easy; it is very hot; sip gently so you don't burn your tongue.

My tongue was almost on fire but I tried my best to cool it down.
