45 Ribbon Cutting and Opening Ceremony 2 (2/2)

Actually he is just shy to introduce himself to Zoey back then and kept on saying to himself that there will have the time you will know me.

”I didn't know you are good at hosting.” Nickel took the courage to start a conversation to Zoey while they are seated on the dinner table.

”I didn't know it as well. It was all impromptu because you just me to take the place of Gelo an hour because our ceremony.” Zoey pouted when she remembered how he asked her to take the place of their assigned emcee.

Nickel beamed a bright smile when he saw how Zoey pouted. He restrains himself to pinch her cheeks as a lot of people around them.

”If only I knew you were this good, I should have hired you every time our organization have a party or event during university days.”

'That is right' Zoey suddenly experienced a eureka feeling after Nickel's words.

”Oh yeah! Exactly! How come I didn't know you during university days. As far as I remember your course is closely related to mine, but how I didn't know your name back then?”

Nickel wanted to answer her, but he was interrupted by her next question.

”And also were both working in the same office for almost five years!”

Questions flooded Zoey when she remembered how she didn't know him.

Nickel replied to her with a very ambiguous answer.

”Because you are so popular and don't have a time to pay attention to a person like me.”

”Huh?” Said by a confused Zoey.

She yearned to ask him again, but an investor approached them a start talking to Nickel. And because it was, a company related topics; it is awkward for her to but in.

Zoey continued munching her meal, but before she finished what's on her plate. Michael bellied up her place.

”What a coincidence Zoey? Perhaps heaven also wanted us to be closer again. Don't you think?” He shamelessly said this words thinking that the heaven is helping him to win her back. He crossed-leg and lean her head on his hand over the table while watching her eating.

When Zoey sensed his presence and saw that on the chair Nickel occupied a while ago, she wanted to step away from him as soon as possible but her life principle is not to show that the opponent had a winning hand over you don't ever show your weak spot to the other.

To follow her life principle up to this moment, Zoey decided to ignore him and act as he is not around.
