28 A TEN BILLION DOLLAR DINNER (1/2)

A worried Alex leaned against his Bentley Continental GT V8 S Convertible, waiting on Zunnie Bai. He wore long grey pants, a deep blue shit under a thin leather black jacket with brown loafers. He looked like a rogue prince waiting on his princess. Tonight, they were finally going to have dinner together. While he looked forward to it, after their ordeal last night, Alex decided to be a little reserve with his actions.

He was appreciative to be dinning with her, nonetheless he couldn't help feeling anxious after reading her text message. Earlier at work he had gotten a message from Zunnie Bai saying… ”I will meet you in Lake-view parking lot at seven tonight. Dress casually.”

There was no self-introduction and her message had been to the point. Alex had no idea who the text was from when he first saw it. However, when read it he knew it was from Ms. Bai herself. Alex left work early to get ready for what she had planned.

At exactly seven, Zunnie emerged from the elevator. She glanced over to where Alex was parked then looked back to her vehicle.

Alex looked up from his phone when he heard her approaching. Zunnie Bai was strikingly beautiful in his eyes. She bore her hair which he usually saw in a bun, down for the occasion. She had on a pair of black jeans, ripped at the knees…matched with a mustard top, black blazer and a pair of white moccasins.

”Hello Miss Bai… you look beautiful.” He complimented her after drinking a glass full of her exquisiteness.

Zunnie smiled and thanked him… ”Thanks, you don't look bad yourself.”

”Thank you.”

Even though she could tell Alex like doing what he wanted, tonight she planned to punish and compel him into doing whatever she had in mind. She was going to get back at him for stealing her first kiss.

”We're taking my Volvo and you Mr. Zi, is going to drive...” Zunnie smirked and pointed to where she had parked. She then handed him the key, walked over to the passenger's side and got in. Alex didn't budge because he was so stunned; he hadn't understood what was going on.

Seeing he was still standing there Zunnie stuck her head out the window and shouted, ”Get in Mr. Zi we don't have all night…”

A confused Alexander Zi, slowly walked to the driver's seat and started the vehicle. He adjusted everything to fit his liking, then turned and smiled at Zunnie, ”Where to?”

”Head south, will give you directions along the way.”

Alex drove the car south as per Zunnie's command. He had never driven a Volvo, yet still he enjoyed it. Having her next to him, his nerves loosened, and he felt more comfortable than he had been earlier.

”Where are we going to have dinner?”

”It's a secret.”

”Hmm a secret huh?” He had no idea where she was taking him.
