"Grandfather?"
That was totally unexpected.
Silence.
He just coldly stared at her with his steady eyes, as if expecting an explanation. The clock continued to tick in the background, but he showed no signs of movement. Was he using some kind of psychological trick on her—the same one he used to scare his employees into obedience?
If he was, it sure was working!
She found her heart beating faster.
Hmm… thinking about it, she should try this trick sometimes. She could learn a lot from her grandfather.
"Grandfather, how long are we going to have this stare competition?"
His face twitched in anger. He struggled to maintain a serious, scary face.
Is this all she had to say? Is this all after almost giving him a heart attack?!
"You think it's a joke?"
