He frowned and took another sip. Still awful.
Spitting it back into the cup, he slammed it down.

Agnese, pale and rattled, quickly called Iris.
Iris picked up and said only two sentences before ending the call.
“Agnese, I'm not Heriberto’s maid. Don’t callabout this again.”

At the time, Megan was going through menopause. Dark spots on her face and insomnia were tormenting her.
