章 29: Shopping (Part 2)
"Let's just have breakfast at home, okay? The food outside isn't necessarily good for our baby, Baby. Besides, Rika has arranged a healthy breakfast for you. It would be a shame if we didn't eat it, right?"
Alexa looked at the toasted wheat bread filled with egg and avocado that the waiter had prepared at the dining table. It's true. It would be a shame if Alexa had to miss out on a delicious nutritious breakfast just to eat something else outside.
"Ah, you two, let's eat,"
When Alexa sat next to Dominic, she didn't forget to offer breakfast to the two teenagers who were following behind them. Fortunately, unlike Rika, Flora and Jasper did not refuse Alexa's invitation. They both smiled before taking their place to eat with the two of them.
"Thank you for inviting us, Madam," said Jasper. Alexa nodded, and her hands began to lift the fruit smoothie for her to drink.
When Alexa and Dominic had started their breakfast, Flora and Jasper followed to pick up their cutlery. The four ate quietly until Jasper finished first and was followed by Flora.
"Then, we will prepare the car first. Madam and Boss, please enjoy your breakfast first."
The two left as Dominic gave them a nod of approval. Alexa glanced slightly at Dominic, who was eating as slowly as she was. Alexa no longer thought she was eating slowly and resumed breakfast afterward.
"Done? Do you feel sick anywhere?"
After some time, Dominic asked when he saw that Alexa had finished her breakfast. Alexa nodded in reply. "I'm fine, Dom," she said before getting up from his seat. Dominic immediately held her hand as she walked, which sometimes made Alexa chuckle at her husband's excessive actions.
Outside, the car had been prepared with Flora and Jasper waiting for them. Jasper took the initiative to open the door for them when the two of them approached. Dominic first let Alexa in before he got into the car himself.
"Where are we going, Boss?" asked Jasper, who will be the driver this time. "Diamond Mall," Dominic answered briefly. Jasper nodded in response. The car started to move as Jasper put it in first gear.
"So Dom, why don't you choose things at home as usual? This isn't like you, taking me out to shop," asked Alexa to start the conversation. Dominic cleared his throat, a little embarrassed by his real reason.
"That... I read that pregnant women should walk a lot and not be stuck in the same environment for a long time to avoid stress during pregnancy. I can't take you to the island because I have a lot of work. So, maybe taking you to my mall can make you happy."
"Your mall?" Alexa repeated. Dominic nodded. "Yes, my mall. Miss Flint, the fashion stylist who likes to come to the house, is one of the shop owners at Diamond Mall. Her clothes are always good quality. I have also been using their products for a long time."
Hearing Dominic's answer, Alexa immediately remembered an elegant woman who sometimes visited their house to make some clothes. After Alexa remembered, it was only natural that the woman always dressed fashionably and spoke like a high-class woman. She turns out to be the owner of a clothing brand that is quite popular in the fashion world.
However, Alexa also didn't expect Dominic to have a mall as one of his businesses. Understandably, Alexa doesn't want to interfere too much in her husband's affairs. Dominic always said that she didn't need to think too much about his work. But, hearing about Dominic's ownership of other business branches made Alexa curious about what type of business her husband was involved in.
"I own several gold mines, textile factories, cars, and malls. If that's what you want to know right now."
Alexa was surprised when Dominic seemed to be able to read her mind. Dominic smiled, as he stroked Alexa's cheek gently.
"But it doesn't mean anything if I don't have you. So, don't think too much about it. You just have to know that my wealth is yours too."
Dominic spoke softly when he knew that Alexa was starting to think about herself as no one else. This was all proven when Alexa took a deep breath before her eyes looked back at Dominic.
"You really love me too much, Dom..." whispered Alexa shyly. Dominic on the other hand nodded firmly, not feeling that loving Alexa was a mistake.
"You know I love you. And, I won't get bored of saying it until you know that I really love you," said Dominic seriously. The man could see the same red color shading Alexa's white cheeks before Jasper's voice caught his attention.
"Boss, we have arrived," he interrupted. Dominic finally put some distance between himself and Alexa. The man had just gotten out of the car when Flora got out and opened the passenger door to let Dominic and Alexa get out.
When they got off, the security guard who just watched their car silently immediately approached when he saw Dominic get out of the car. The security guard was about to confirm Dominic's arrival with the mall manager but was immediately stopped by Flora before the security guard could do anything.
"Mr. Dominic doesn't want to be disturbed by anyone today. You don't need to contact anyone. We just want to shop here," explained Flora. The security guard looked doubtful and looked at Dominic, who was aware of his gaze, and nodded to confirm Flora's words.
After receiving direct orders from the person who paid him, the security guard finally nodded and returned to his post. Dominic turned around to help Alexa down, before using his hand as a grip for Alexa's hand.
As soon as she came down, Alexa was amazed by the appearance of the mall building, which was so big and majestic. The people who came were those wearing branded clothes with men in suits as their companions. Alexa secretly glanced at Dominic, who unexpectedly chose to wear a regular collared shirt instead of his usual three-piece suit to go out this time.
