Alexander Zi happened to be one of the richest families in Una City and his loving and adorable sister chose to bring him to a cheap Thai restaurant in Pocai. He was baffled. He had no idea what to think or say to her.
"B-But he had fun. We had a good time. You see that's what I wanted to talk to you about." Zunnie faced her brother who was now sitting on the couch next to her.
"What is it?" Eyan hoped she was not about to drop a bombshell on him after hearing what she had done.
"I, uhh…" She was not sure how to tell her brother.
"Well…?"
"I like him." Zunnie blurted.
"You what?" Eyan shot up from his seat and glared at Zunnie.
It's not that he disregarded Alex or anything. He was so stunned that his sister had finally fallen for someone. He grinned then walked to pull her up from her seat.
He clasped her arms and stared into her eyes searching them for some sort of answer.
"Are you sure? I mean you've never really like anyone. Are you sure it's like and not unnecessary infatuation? And Alexander Zi is…" Eyan stopped talking seeing he was rambling.
Zunnie stared at him and nodded her head… "Yes, I like him. Eyan let's not do this right now. You have a meeting and you'll be late. Let's talk over lunch tomorrow."
"Ah, you're right. We will talk then." He hugged Zunnie and was about to walk out when she said;
"Don't tell dad. I want to tell him myself."
"Okay, my lips are sealed," Eyan replied and walked back to his office smiling at what just occurred.
As soon as the door closed behind him, Zunnie collapsed to the couch. She placed her hand over heart and steadied her breathing. For a slight moment, she thought her big brother was angry. She smiled as happiness filled her pounding heart. It felt good to tell him, now only one more person to tell.
"Will he be happy when I tell him. I mean he did want to marry me off not too long ago. His ridiculous blind dates were a pain. Well, I'll just have to wait and see." She mumbled.
When she calmed down, she grabbed her bag and walked out.
She was on her way to her car when she met one of the actresses she had seen on stage during the gala. She was not familiar with the entertainment industry and stayed away from the company. Her brother did all the work with her father's help.
Zunnie smiled at the actress and walked past her. She was beautiful. She was wearing a knee-length army green dress with matching heels and a jacket and was speaking with the two women next to her. She smiled back at Zunnie and continued chatting with her companion.
Her time with Eyan had been shorter than she had wanted but he had work to do. She continued heading to the parking garage, unaware that the group of women had stopped chatting and were gawking at her when she turned her back.

On her drive to the office, she bought lunch for her six staff members since she could not eat with her brother.
Zunnie thought back to her brother's reaction then picked her phone and called Alex.
"Have you finally forgiven me?" Alex said as soon as he answered the call.
He was discussing the shopping mall project with Secretary Zhang when he saw her calling. He smiled, dismissed his secretary.
"No. Have you eaten?"
"Not yet."
"I brought lunch for my staff would you like to have lunch with us?" Zunnie asked him nervously.
"Okay, I'll be there in ten minutes." Alex quickly hung up the phone.
Zunnie had not finished speaking when she heard the toot-toot tone on the other line. She frowned and threw her phone on the passenger seat then mumbled, "He could have at least told me bye."
She was five minutes away when she called Alex so she arrived at the office before he did. A happy Zunnie got out of her car and walked into the office. It was a spacious building with three floors. The first floor was the receptionist area, her office was on the third floor and on the second floor was the records office and two doctors who worked with her.
Because she had called ahead to say she was buying lunch, everyone was in the lounge waiting when she walked in. Zunnie enjoyed eating with her employees and made sure to buy them lunch at least once for the week. They were loyal, hard workers and since she was in a good mood, she decided to treat them to a special meal.
She set the lunch on the table and everyone helped themselves.
Alex came in a few minutes after her; a handsome aura illuminated as he entered the lounge. When he arrived everyone was stunned and began whispering to each other.
"Everyone this is my friend, Alexander Zi. He's joining us today." Zunnie introduced Alex to the wide-eyed employees before her.
