"Hey, I'm asking you-" he then cut me short as he spoke. "Come here and sit," he uttered with a raucous voice while he pulled a metal chair and sat on it.  I noiselessly obeyed what he had said.

Don't tell me it's a-" he cut me as he raised his index finger and beckoned me to stay quiet.  "Before all these chitchats begin, let's have a cup of tea." he calmly spoke as he turned his head on the door where I saw a mid-aged woman wearing a maid's dress and carrying a tray with a teapot and two empty porcelain teacups.
