46 NO-ONE TOUCHES ZUNNIE BAI (2/2)
”I promise I've changed. But just so you know, I went looking for Zunnie Bai. A friend told me Alex spent ten million dollars at an auction to have dinner with her. I only wanted to see who she was, but she called me trash and asked her security to take me out. Who calls their guest trash? She was so rude to me Carss. I almost cried. And there were people on the watching.”
If Carson didn't know any better, he would believe Victoria. She sounded so convincing. But he knew her and her tricks. He was familiar with how she would trample on anyone trying to get with Alex.
Victoria had no idea he and Zunnie went to the same high school and that he had a crush on Zunnie. He clenched his fist until his knuckles turned white.
”You did what?” Carson seethed through clenched teeth.
”I swear I did nothing to her,” Victoria whined into the phone.
”Fine let's have dinner tonight.” He agreed. His black eyes were emotionless. There's no way he was going to let Victoria, or anyone hurt Zunnie Bai. He said yes to dinner simply to advise her to stay away from Zunnie Bai.
He withdrew a folder from the top drawer of his desk and flipped through the pictures he had taken of her. Two of them were of Zunnie when she was seventeen. She sat in her usual seat at their high school library. In one of them, her head was bent as she read a book in front of her. The other photo was of her smiling. He had secretly taken it when he saw the gorgeous smile she had given when her best friend Sanua whispered something he had not heard.
His cold eyes grew warm as he stroked the picture in his hand, and his full pink lips curved into a smile.
”Zunnie Bai I'm ready to try again,” Carson whispered. He pulled the drawer open, gently placed the folder in it and locked the drawer.
How long has it been since he realized he was in love with her? When she had rejected him, his pride had been hurt. Even his friends had made fun of him. But after assessing Zunnie's eminence and his, he knew he wasn't good enough to stand next to her.
Even if his grades were excellent, seeing how diligent Zunnie was, Carson decided to study relentlessly to do his best. After high school, Carson went to America and double majored in information technology and business.
He thought back to the gala. He had tried his luck at the auction but Alexander Zi came out victorious.
'I need to find out what Alex is up too.' Carson thought as he picked up his keys. He took the elevator down to the garage, then drove towards Arch.deZIgns.
