That made me laugh.
Nora snapped out of it and looked at me, puzzled. Whats the matter? Is there something wrong with the milk tea or the snacks?
I managed to stop laughing and responded in a serious tone, Did you notice anything odd about the bodyguard?
What? What happened? Nora was startled.
I frowned slightly. I just have a feeling that somethings not right with the bodyguard and these snacks.
But Ive already had some of the milk tea. What if its dangerous? Noras voice was tinged with fear.
Its fine, dont worry. The bodyguard handed the milk tea to you himself. It should be safe, I reassured her quickly.
Relieved, Nora let out a sigh.
I then called the butler over and explained the situation. I asked him to have the snacks tested for any signs of poison.
Debras POV:
The butler quickly took care of the task I set before him. He even made sure to ask the security personnel at the entrance to pull up the CCTV footage and find out who had delivered the snacks.

Both Nora and I confirmed with a nod.
The butler seemed uneasy. With a heavy sigh, he explained, Its good that you were cautious and didnt eat the snacks. This bodyguard isnt actually one of our staff. Someone with bad intentions disguised himself and got in.
What? He isnt one of our guards? I gasped, startled by this new information.

The butler reassured me, Leave this to me. Ill alert Mr. Pierce right away and make sure we beef up our security here.
I paused, pondered for a while, then decided, Lets keep this from Andrew for now. Hes still in the hospital, and the last thing he needs is more stress.
The butler seemed to understand where I was coming from but still advised, Just be extra careful and avoid any guards you dont recognize.
I will, I promised.
With that, the butler rushed off to tackle the next issues at hand.
After the butler hurried away, Nora, visibly shaken, wiped away her tears and expressed her gratitude. Debra, thank you! You saved me again. I saw the spread of snacks on the table and was about to give in. My greed almost got the best of me.
I comforted her with a gentle pat on the back. Its okay. If youre hungry, Ill have one of our own guards get you something to eat.
