Arrange a Marriage?

The next morning in the Yang penthouse.

An exquisite spread of oriental dishes, each one more tasty than the next lay on the long dining table where the family gathered, all except Dylan Yang.

Daniel Yang sat at the head of the table drinking an espresso, and talking with Anne about her upcoming exams.

"I'm expecting full marks Anne, I know you can do it..." he said pressuring her before reminding her of her great results from the previous year.

Anne ate her oatmeal and nodded silently with an obedient smile, "Yes father."

Liam sat across the table from Emily and his dark eyes seemed to taunt her as he sipped his coffee, now and again uttering a phrase like, "Well done Anne," and "How lovely and polite you are Anne."

Anne smiled, and her freckled cheeks blushed from all of the praise, oblivious to the heavy air in the room and the fact that Liam was only complimenting her in an attempt to irritate her elder sister.
