"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.
She placed the tray on the table and gently put the teapot and teacups down the podium.

I was about to speak when he gave it a start.
