176 Over-Protective

Lina Liang stirred the cups of tea, purposely procrastinating and wasting time.

She peeked her head out of the kitchen and watched Will and Amy sitting awkwardly in her small living-room.

Amy was sat on the sofa and Will sat on a wicker chair, tapping his foot and checking the time. He looked annoyed, and Amy began nervously rambling about her parent's restaurant.

"Nice, nice..." he said passively.

"LINA??" his voice bellowed.

Lina jumped when she heard her name.

"Mhmm??" she said smiling and acting oblivious when she came over with the tray of tea cups.

William watched her come out of the kitchen, holding a plastic tray with shaky hands.

She faked a smile and attempted to place the tray down and act normal when she clearly wasn't.

William grabbed the tray with a steady hand before she tipped the whole thing onto him

"Oh! Um... sorry," she stammered.

"Alright," he said standing up and taking off his jacket, "Show me around."

Lina laughed awkwardly, "Huh?"
