63 Dinner 5 (1/2)

Nickel dialed Zoey's number but no one answered and directed into her voicemail. He tried one more time before stepping out the car and press the gale's bell but his second call still turned into a voicemail.

”Why didn't Zoey answer her phone?” He asked himself.

He waited for five minutes before opening the car door and hop out the car. He gathered all his gifts to the Alcantaras and then press the gate's bell. Before anyone inside notice his presence. He again tried to call Zoey, that's the time he sighted a blinking light on the swing next to the garden flowers.

”Probably she left it here.”

His inner monologue was put into stop when a house helper appeared in front of him.

”Who are you?” The helper asked.

Nickel swallowed his lump saliva before answering the question. ”I am Nickel Fuentes, Zoey's Director and friend.” There are only few people that he felt intimidating and to add this old lady into his list is not a good achievement for him.

The short interrogation stopped when a sweet voice called out someone.

”Manang do you see my phone?” Zoey was kept looking for her phone and when she lost hope to where did he last put my phone she needs to ask her savior which is Manang.

Nickel's jaw drop after sewing the approaching Zoey, she was wearing a floral midi dress. Overthought it was already 7 pm, Nickel suddenly thought that Sunday morning is coming for him. As of the sun is set to rise because of this girl.

”Keep your mouth close so the fly won't mistakenly enter your body.” Manang remarked.

”Oh! You're here!” Zoey opened the gate and let the guest entered their premises.

”Manang, this my boss, Nicanor Fuentes. Nickel, this is my Manang.”
