I blinked in confusion. What did that mean? He wanted to stay and continue drinking tea? Then why had he been so distant and evasive moments before?

Mack returned to the sofa and settled back with his teacup. I scrambled for conversation topics. "When does Bonnie leave for her overseas performance?"

"I see. Well, her outfits are finished. She can come for fittings whenever she has time. Once everything fits properly, she can take them without any delays."
Mack glanced up from his tea, that elegant smile returning. "You've been working so hard lately, taking care of everything for our family."
"Not at all," I replied earnestly. "I should be thanking you. You're giving me both income and exposure. You're all my benefactors."
His smile grew warmer as he set down his teacup and checked his watch.
