บท 185: Celebration

Hours later...

Bearing his poker face, Matthew Xi traveled his gaze to the three bottles of wine while Zoey placed two wine glasses on the small table in the living area. After their little moment earlier, Zoey and Matthew Xi didn't talk about it as they resumed doing their duties. 

But now, just minutes after they arrived in her not so humble home, Matthew Xi witnessed how Zoey's energy reached its peak as she excitedly asked them to welcome the weekend. Yet, Matthew Xi found it suspicious as he heard from his 'colleagues' that Zoey works seven days a week. 

"Here!" Pouring some wine in one glass, Zoey then picked it up as she offered it to him with a grin. 

"We haven't had dinner yet." Matthew Xi glanced at the wine glass and then to Zoey, lacking in expressions as usual. 

"Meh. This is our dinner!" Rolling her eyes, Zoey shook her head as she informed in a matter-of-fact tone.
