89 The Last Time He Saw Her Smile (1/2)

After a wintry January ended, an even wintrier February began. Zunnie's office was quieter than it had been in the fall. Even though her mornings were busy and her evenings short, she always left the office at seven in the evening.

However, this evening was different. She was heading to the Bai manor for dinner with her family. She hurriedly packed up her office at five and rushed to the garage with plans to pick Alex from his office. Unfortunately, the drive to Arch.deZIgns was taking longer than usual.

She had been busy fussing at how poorly persons were driving when her phone rang. Seeing it was Alex calling she immediately picked up.

”Hi hunni, I'm stuck in traffic. I should be there in fifteen minutes.”

”Okay, see you soon.”

Zunnie ended the call and slowly proceeded through the rush hour traffic. They were having a family dinner to celebrate Eyan and Selena's engagement. Her big brother was finally engaged and Zunnie couldn't be happier.

However, she was not as cheerful as her father. Hearing that his eldest and only son had found a woman to love all his life, Wan Bai became the happiest man in Una City. The moment the newly engaged pair return from their trip he planned a dinner. She and Alex had been busy working so the dinner had been pushed to February.

At five-thirty, she finally arrived at Alex's office. When she pulled into the parking lot, Alex was already there. Even though he had just left the office, he was still working. He ended the work-related call and walked over to her side of the car.

”Hi cutie,” he said and bent over to kiss her through the opened car window.

”Hi,” Zunnie blushed. Alex was being too cute, and she couldn't contain her embarrassment seeing how confident he looked.

He was fine-looking in his dark blue suit. If she had not seen his tired eyes she would think that he had not worked at all today.

”Let me drive.”

He pulled open the door and helped her out. He picked her up into his arms and carried to the passenger's side. When he set her down he buckled her seatbelt and walked back to the driver's seat.

On the way over to the mansion, they discussed the new wing his contractor would be building. Since this winter was much colder than they had expected Alex wanted to postpone construction until it started getting warmer.

”Darling, did you get your gift for Selena and Eyan?” Zunnie asked him.
