The Gilded Lilly 

Yao Changying was fiddling with the strap of her side bag as she waited for the waiter to find her table booking. 

The waiter could see that Yao Changying was quite nervous. He tried to lighten the mood by making a hospital-related joke: "Please follow me, Dr Yao. I apologize for the waiting time." 

Yao Changying nervously laughed in response. 

The waiter smiled politely in response to the horse-esque laugh. 

Yao Changying berated herself internally 'What the hell was that laugh?! It wasn't even that funny. Pull yourself together Changying. Be more like an alpaca, not a horse.'

Yao Changying calmed herself down. She glanced at the decor and at the guests already seated at their tables. Eventually, her eye landed on Lai Shi-on. He was sitting at a table for two by a large window that faced the terrace. 

Lai Shi-on smiled as he spotted her ad stood from his chair.
