121 Husband and wife thing (1/2)

Zoey hops in the car and asked him about his meeting, Nickel didn't know what to say because he lied to her, a white lie, that he attended dealers meeting earlier that afternoon. To protect his surprise plan for her upcoming birthday, Nickel needed to add another lie to her. A lie after lie they said.

”It was fine. Although my VIPs didn't like me at first. Their stared was like head-to-toeing my soul and evaluation my life decisions. They are scary to the extent that I wanted to back out from that meeting.” His words are his actual feeling when he met her friends. Especially Sweet, he thought at first that Sweet had the most compassionate among the three but in reality, she has the coldest heart of all. She looked at him with her intimidating side that makes all his hair stands and shakes in fear.

Zoey doesn't have the idea that the VIPs that Nickel met that afternoon were all her close friends. ”It's okay, honey. It's all done. Have you accepted your proposal?”

”Yes, fortunately, they did.” The car was filled with laughter after Nickel assured that everything went well.

”By the way, the new housekeeper arrived today. And for the first time, our office's housekeeper is a man.” Zoey shared what had happened earlier before they met.

By the time Nickel heard the word ”man” out of Zoey's mouth, his glabella became a narrow path and looked at her intimidatingly as if he is asking her why are you talking to man aside from me?

”Mang Rick is already old enough to be a father. Stop looking at him like I am cheating on you.”

Once again, Nickel has been brushed off the nth time this week.

”As I was saying, Manong Rick had this enormous scar on his face and he even retold me how he got that scar.” Nickel could see that Zoey was so affected with that man's story because her eyes redden when she retold him what happened.

”I will meet that Manong Rick soon. Do you want to cook for dinner or should we eat somewhere else?” He asked his maiden beside him.

”Let's go home, for now, I will cook for dinner. I forgot to prepare Happy's meal; she might die from starvation if we decided to go for a late night date tonight. But first, can we go grocery first?”

The two went to the nearest grocery store from Serenity Condominium and bought all the ingredients they will be needing and also for all the stuff that needs to be stocked at Zoey's unit such as napkins and tissues.

When Zoey was choosing pads and napkins at the feminine alley of the grocery store Nickel was waiting for her at the end part of the racks. He was shy to stand beside her as she was choosing her thing during her red days.
