Cassian opened the briefcase and extracted two brown paper envelopes. Cixi immediately sensed that each envelope contained a document inside. She took another sip of her coffee, which tasted good again.
Before choosing this brand, she had tasted many coffees before, and among them, this one still tasted the best to her.
Wealthy people would never understand the things that comforted those who came from a humble background, she mused.
To prove that point even further to herself, she took another sip. This time, she closed her eyes and let out a soft, satisfied moan, for the coffee tasted divine. Upon reopening her eyes, she noticed that Cassian was not focusing on her. He was busy setting the briefcase on the wooden floor beside the sofa, leaving it upright against it.
Then, he extended one of the brown envelopes to her while keeping the other in his possession.
