The men who heard Zaki were all obviously shocked while Sei simply smiled, as if saying the words, ’as expected with my younger brother’, as he looked at him.
Hinari on the other hand gazed at Zaki in wonder. She never thought that Zaki’s purpose of taking her with him was actually to introduce her to these business tycoons as his woman. Her heart palpitated in happiness and she couldn’t help but fall in a daze. Her beauty was just so cool!!
“Y-your woman?”
Finally, one of them spoke as he looked at the gorgeous and sexy lady Zaki had brought with him.
“Yes, she is the woman I’m going to marry,” Zaki replied. His eyes were extremely serious but when his gaze fell on her, even these business minded men could see the gentleness and affection in the way he looked at her.
With that just, their hopes were crushed. It looked like this Zaki was the same as his brother, after all. They were both one woman men and they would not let business dictate who their partners would be and it was suicude to even try using women to please them.
“Oh, I see.” The men could only hide their great disappointment. “Nice to meet you, miss Hinari. You two really look perfect for each other.”
“Nice to meet you too, thank you.”
When the men finally took their leave, Hinari was so giddy as she hugged Zaki’s arm. She was gazing up at him with twinkling eyes.
“My love, you’re so awesome today.” She uttered and Zaki bent and kissed her head.
“I’m sorry. I should have announced to everyone a while ago that I’m already taken. But don’t worry, the next announcement will be about our wedding day.” He said and Hinari embraced him tightly.
“Mm. It’s alright my love. I’m not worried at all. And about the wedding you don’t have rush it, okay? You had just become the president and you have your health to take care of.”
“Yes, we will do things in our own pace.”
…
On their way back home, Hinari and Zaki were with Sei. Although they already understood his plans, Sei still explained everything clearly to them, saying that with Zaki’s new position and worth, he could be protected without arousing the enemy’s suspicion. His safety was finally ensured since Sei had already prepared a trusted team that he was confident with to protect him.
By the time they finally arrived, Sei and Zaki went straight to Sei’s study.
“Of course, you still can’t drop your guard. Even though that man agreed to destroy anyone that showed any interest in you, you still need to always be careful.”
“What? So you met with that little devil?”
“I did. So from here on, don’t worry about your safety and focus on your health. Your position in the company won’t restrain you since your schedule is pretty much the same with your usual work. The only change is that you have to show up as the president.”
After the two spoke seriously about Zaki’s new role, Sei had finally brought up a new topic.
“So? When is the wedding? How about tomorrow?” Sei said and Zaki almost choked.
“Hey, why are you rushing so much?”
“What, you still want to prolong it? Listen to me Zaki, stop being slow and marry her already.”
“I am going to marry her even without you saying that, okay? And I still haven’t met with her family to ask for their blessing!”
“So you’re going to go and meet them tomorrow?”
“Yes, I’m planning to do that.”
“Good. You shouldn’t delay too much. I suggest you should get married the day after tomorrow then.”
Zaki: “. . .”
