61 Family is Everything and More (1/2)

Thunder roared in a distance and dark clouds were overlapping the sky that had been blue an hour earlier. Zunnie glanced at her watch then pouted. There were only thirty minutes until she had to meet her dad for an early dinner, and she couldn't help feeling low-spirited. She hated driving when it rained, simply because there were too many ignoramus drivers. It's like they always appeared on rainy days.

Zunnie circled her office chair to look outside the window and was saddened with the murky atmosphere before her. The rain had gotten stronger and louder compared to the previous drizzle.

She wondered whether her dad had arrived at the restaurant, seeing how drastically the weather had changed. Papa Bai had informed her that he would stop by the company to greet the Eyan and the employers before he met up with her.

Even though she saw him every week she went back to the Bai Manor for dinner, she missed him. Knowing that he would not want to cancel their date and neither did she, Zunnie reached back for her phone and decided to call him to see if he still wanted to have dinner with her.

”Hey pumpkin, are you almost there?” Wan Bai asked when he answered her call.

”Ahh dad, I'm only calling to see if you changed your mind. It looks pretty nasty outside…”

”I'm not going to pass this chance to see you. Get your butt over here young Bai.” He commanded into the phone then hang up.

Amazed at his insistence, Zunnie chuckled and picked her bag.

Her secretary was seated at her desk blushing at her phone when she stepped out. Hearing her heels clicking she immediately put her phone down and looked over at Zunnie.

”D-Dr. Bai…”

”You don't have to be shy. You should go home and be careful on the road.” Zunnie cut her off and said.

”Okay, I left the proposal from Arch.deZIgns on your desk.”

”Oh, I almost forgot. Thank you. Now go home.” Zunnie turned around and walked back into her office to grab the file.

She read the first page in amazement, a subtle smile on her lips. 'Why didn't he just ask me about it. Instead, he had his company send me an actual proposal. Such a business mogul.'

When she got to the restaurant she was surprised to see that her dad had dragged Eyan along.

”Papa Bai it's good to see you. What have you been doing since I last saw you? Big brother…” She said as she seated.
