Testing the waters

Shan shifted uncomfortably in her seat during the drive to Chairman Yang's house. Yang Lei had said nothing to her since they left her house and she wasn't sure whether she appreciated his silence or questions more.

She was feeling really nervous about meeting his grandfather and she would have preferred any small talk to calm her down.

"Are you okay? You seem uncomfortable." Yang Lei asked turning to glance at her.

"I'm fine." Shan said with a stiff smile.

"I guess you're uncomfortable. Just calm down okay? It's not a big deal." Yang Lei assured her calmly.

"And I want you to know that I'm no longer angry with you. After giving it much thought, I feel grateful to you for doing this for me." Yang Lei said with a small smile making Shan narrow her eyes suspiciously.

"You're sure you're not just saying this to calm me?" Shan asked looking at his face closely.
