Ugh! Millie was taken aback.


    It was just a casual remark; how could she know where she wascking in professionalism?


    Sure, she had crammed the night before, but it was ast-minute effort, and none of that information had really stuck in her brain.


    Her eyes darted around as she tried to change the subject: "Right now, I''m the one asking you if you have a tea sommelier certification. Don''t try to deflect."


    "I''m here as your instructor, eager to listen to student feedback and clear up any confusion. Is there a problem? What do you mean by deflecting? If you''re going to challenge my abilities, fine, but you need to back it up. I won''t ept baseless usations!" Faced with such a strong stance from Roseanne Cole, Millie felt a bit out of her depth.


    As the surprised and suspicious nces of the others began to turn her way, she pursed her lips and instinctively straightened her back: "What you just mentioned wasn''t entirely incorrect, but who among us doesn''t know the basics of wine tasting?" "Even if we didn''t, a quick Google search would make anyone sound like an expert."


    "Tea sommeliers have different levels of certification, and obviously, the depth of their lectures varies. Did we reallye here just to hear you talk about the basics?"


    Some of thedies were swayed by her argument and nodded in agreement-


    "She''s not wrong. Without a certification, how do we know where you''re really from? What if you''re just a poser trying to bluff your way through?"


    "Exactly, there are so many scammers out there. Just show us your certificate to put us at ease. If you truly have one, it shouldn''t be difficult, right?" N''s expression had soured considerably.


    Roseanne was her invitee, and questioning her was akin to questioning N herself.


    While N was tense and angry, Silver was the picture of rxation, leisurely sipping her wine, enjoying the drama unfolding.


    This was proving to be an entertaining visit.


    Despite not knowing Roseanne well


    and not really taking to her because of her looks, and manner-sheThis belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    seemed aloof and


    non-confrontational, which Silver just saw as pretentious. Like N, Roseanne rubbed Silver the wrong way.


    She even felt a bit of schadenfreude, thinking if Roseanne couldn''t produce that certificate, she''d be in a tight spot.


    Roseanne, however, took the


    crowd''s reaction in stride, not


    showi


    g any sign of panic. In


    fact,


    she even managed to shoot N a


    reassuring look.


    "If I present my tea sommelier certification, how do you n to apologize for your baseless usations and rudeness?"


    Millie scoffed. "If you can actually show it, I''ll apologize any way you want. How about that?"


    "Deal," said Roseanne, ready for this challenge.


    She signaled to a young girl t


    door, dressed in a tailored outfit reminiscent of a vintage winery uniform, who quickly approached with small, measured steps.


    Roseanne had given her bag and some other personal items for safekeeping upon arrival.


    The girl smartly handed over the bag.


    "Thank you," Roseanne said with a smile.


    The girl blushed, murmuring a shy "You''re wee."


    Anticipating a situation like this, Roseanne had ced her certification in apartment of her bag beforehand.


    The certifications, distinguishable by their color coding, were about to be revealed as she slowly unzipped her bag...
