"Thud" The finger suspended in mid-air finally landed squarely, producing a loud knocking sound that made Sister Xia's heart tighten momentarily.
Su Li withdrew her hand, smoothed her forehead, and tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. Then she asked casually, "Sister Xia, have you been facing some difficulties recently?"
Sister Xia stiffened all over, responding unnaturally, "No, nothing's happened...."
After their initial phone call, the two hadn't met again.
But on that call, Sister Xia's anger and frustration at the original owner's predicament were genuine.
Su Li was not clueless enough to overlook that.
Moreover, from the original owner's memory, it was clear that her relationship with her agent, Sister Xia, was harmonious, like that of real sisters.
The original owner genuinely referred to her as "sister".
When Sister Xia got emotional and choked up over her own inadequacy during the call, that was genuine too.
