Chapter 10
Poppy dials the intercom and asks for two cups of coffee.
The mellow aroma of coffee mixes with the cold air, and the warm sunshine falls on the floor through the window. The atmosphere in the office is a little weird.

She seems to be thinking of something, and is about to speak. But she still says nothing.
"What do you want to ask, Miss Barnes?” Poppy reads her mind at a glance.
