"Thanks San for bring me, I needed this."
"Girl, I got you."
The two friends were sitting in massage chairs getting pampered before the big event. Sanua came over to the condo at eight in the morning waking Zunnie up from her much-needed sleep.
She was about to scold her friend when San quickly said;
"Get dress I'm taking you out!"
Seeing she had no choice, Zunnie obeyed and got dressed.
Even though she badgered Sanua about where she was taking her, her best friend only replied… "It's a secret" and winked at her.
'What is she up to this time'. Zunnie couldn't help being curious. San always pushed her to go out of her comfort zone. Zunnie knew never to complain, because anything Sanua did was always good for her. So, although she wanted to stay in bed and sleep, she was also overly enthusiastic as to what San was up to.
The women, were now getting their nails done. Sanua also made hair and make-up appointments, a lunch date and a mini shopping spree before the gala.
Zunnie could help but admit she was really having a good time.
Time flew by, and before they noticed, it was an hour before the red carpet, which was schedule to begin at four in the evening.
Zunnie stood in front of the wide mirror in her walk-in closet, and stared at her reflection one last time before she went downstairs to the waiting car sent by dad.
She stepped out of the elevator and gracefully walked to the opened car, oblivious that someone was watching her every step.
Alexander Zi was standing near the tall glass wall in his bedroom. The curtains were open revealing the magnificent sunset.
He slowly buttoned the white long-sleeved dress shirt he was going to be wearing under his navy-blue suit. Leaving the two top buttons undone, he breathed in deeply and stuffed his hands in his pants pocket.
He was now staring at the young lady walking elegantly toward the opened limousine.
"Hmm, as I thought. Sanua is taking her after all."
Alex smiled and continued to stare as the black limousine drove off.
Zunnie Bai never walked the red carpet at any of the Bai Entertainment events. When the driver dropped her off at the back entrance, she made her way to the main hall. Seeing it was half empty and people were slowly coming in, she snaked her to the Bai's seating area.
Wan Bai was busy greeting guests when he saw his daughter. 'She looks just like her mother.' He excused himself and went to welcome her.
When Zunnie saw her dad coming to her, she broke into a sweet smile. She kissed him on the check and gave him a tight hug.
"You look handsome, papa."
"Ahh thank you dear; but pumpkin you are beautiful tonight. You look just like your mom when she your age." He broke away from the hug to admire the exact replica of his wife.
Zunnie cheeks burned a light pink from her dad's comment. She was glad she came.
"Thanks dad."
"By the way, did Eyan inform you that a date with you is one of the items up for the auction?"
"He did not. But why would he use me?" She was perplexed.
"Well he thought it would be a good opportunity for the you to find a husband."
"Daad…no way," whined a pouting Zunnie.
"Think of it as a good cause pumpkin. After all, the hospital is yours. Helping it should be a priority." Wan Bai quickly found an excuse for his and Eyan's scheme.
Hearing him mention the hospital, Zunnie groaned inside but still said, "Fine just this once, for a good cause."
She deeply hoped that the person who won was not weird or it would be the death of the two men trying to marry her off.
Just as their conversation ended Eyan Bai walked in with his girlfriend.
"Eyan, please remind me after this, to kill you slowly."
"I guess dad sold us out…Dad I always knew you couldn't keep a secret." Eyan replied sounding disappointed.
He hoped Zunnie wouldn't hold this decision against him, because he wanted her to have a good time. Maybe the person she meets will be good for her.
"Don't blame me, I'm just looking out for my dear pumpkin," Mr. Bai raised his hand to surrender.
The four of them chatted for a few minutes, then moved to the entrance to greet the guests.
When Alex arrived at the event hall, almost everyone was seated. He found his table with his family, Juno and Hunter and sat down. His eyes scanned the room to see exactly where she was.
He needed to find a way to introduce himself tonight.
