The shock in Xander's face on hearing the question, Ketty asked him could tell that he feels something but wasn't sure if he wants to achieve what it was he feels. "Hmmmmm" Ketty exhales as he remained silent for a long, just to cut whatever she is thinking.
With a stammering voice he quickly says to her, "Just trying to be friendly, moreover we are indebted to her for all her help."
"So stop thinking about what you don't know, doctor." He says to her as he cuts the call to avoid anymore query. He says, slipping back into his bed, covering himself with a duvet. He stays awake for a while thinking of all that has happened with him and Susan in the past days and while thinking, he falls at sleep.
...
From one side of the bed to another, Susan rolls, finally rising to the left side of the bed. She looks at the clock at the side desk and it's past 8:30 pm. She is shocked at the time she woke up, unlike her, who is an early riser. She races up from her bed to grab her phone, which is plugged far from the bed. She turns it on to see if there are any missed calls. To her reality, there were no missed calls. She finally calms down, breathing out heavily. She tells herself that she has a limited time till 6pm when the dinner date starts.
With a simple smile on her face, she looks into the mirror and says to herself, "Good morning!" She woke up feeling happy and energized today. She could tell from seeing herself on the mirror as she thinks she woke up happy, thinking about why, a picture of her call with her boss appears, immediately she shakes her head to get herself distracted from thinking about last night as she doesn't want to say anything.
She shakes herself, saying, "Let's start the day with a little housekeeping. Dusting, vacuuming, and mopping the floors." She stands been serious, walks downstairs to start somewhere. She only has this morning to tidy her house. Saturday was the best day for such duties for her, but with the incidence that happened, took them out early and they returned late. Few hours gone, she is done with all the chores, but realises that she has fewer drinks and foodstuff, since she won't be able to step out herself for now, she settles for online shopping for the things. She goes upstairs and opens her closet to select.
Looking through the clothes one after another "Hmm, what should I wear to dinner tonight? Let's see what's in my closet." "Aha! This red dress would be perfect. It's elegant and stylish. And I'll pair it with my black high heels not too high on my leg."
"I can't wait to see how this dinner will be and why I was invited tonight. I hope everyone will compliment me on my taste."
Susan after selecting the dresses, she pulls all she has on her, which she used to sleep and off she bounces into the bedroom.
...
"Finally feeling rested and ready to tackle the day." He says as he jumps out of bed. Seeing how messy his room is, he picks up his phone, calling his personal cleaner, who comes every weekend when called to come keep his place clean.
After the call, he walks towards the closet opens up. "Gotta look my best for tonight's dinner date." He lets out a smile.
Going through each cloth, staring at the beauty that endowed each of the fabric, he comments as well, "Let's see, what should I wear? A suit, or maybe just dress pants and a nice shirt?."
He stares at the mirror with two different dresses. One speaks proactive and the other a comfortable rich CEO. He thinks, why am I contemplating? Immediately his minds flashes to Susan. He shakes his head to not image it. "No. I'll wear my black suit, with a crisp white shirt and a burgundy tie." He quickly agrees with his choice not to think otherwise.
He Picks the casual wear, as he mutters, "Sneakers it is, they add a bit of edge to the outfit. And now, for a final touch, my silver watch. Looking sharp, ready for a great night. Time to head out and make some shopping." He bounces out of his apartment before the time, as he would not want to be the reason they will have to wait.
Stepping out of the house, he drives towards the fast food where he is to get the vanilla ice cream. After making the payment, he leaves immediately, without a delay. Some miles away from ketty's house was a great supermarket, he stops by to get the chocolates, not knowing what colour to get he gets both white and normal coloured chocolate. Getting to the car, he checks his time and to his surprise; he was an hour early to the affirmed time his sister gave him. Few minutes down, he arrives at her house. They both exchanged greetings and went into the house to prepare for dinner.
...
Susan, after taking a great time bathing, she sits in front of her mirror to do a light makeup. There, she remembers John hasn't called her. She picks up her phone. Just then it rings, and it's John calling.
John (on the phone) "I'm at your doorstep, girl."
"Really?!" Susan howls in surprise.
"You should hurry." John mutters, strolling back to the car. "We're their guests and we can't afford to make a bad impression. You know, right?"
"I'm almost ready! Just give me a few more minutes, okay?"
"Sure thing. Just that I think we should get a gift for them as well. Courtesy demands that." John relaxes patiently in the car.
"Yeah... You're right. See me outside in a GIFI." Susan hangs up the phone.
Few minutes later, she steps out of the house, her beauty radiant and breathtaking. John is awestruck'd by her stunning appearance. "Now, this is the true definition of a beauty goddess. We're talking bout here." He compliments her with beams of smiles, opening the car door for her.
She shakes her head. "Please stop teasing me. I already feel nervous enough as it is. If you keep this up, I'm going to go change back into something else." They both enter the car and out they went.
After their stop at the shop to purchase a gift, their next stop was ketty's house, and upon their arrival, Ketty hears the horn of a car. She can tell it's them. "Bro, please." She insists with her two palms sealed to each other, telling Xander to help her get the door as a gentleman. As he opens the door, his jaw drops as he sees Susan step out in her dinner outfit. Wearing a beautiful red dress that clung to her curves in all the right places. Her hair styled in loose waves that cascades down her back, and her makeup flawless, enhancing her natural beauty.
Xander is stunned. He feels like he has never seen her this beautiful, or rather, her beauty is always renewed. He's lost, staring non-stop. Finding it difficult to take his eyes off Susan as she stands there in a red hot decent dress.
Ketty, not hearing any voice for a while, walks towards the door shouting "Who is that?! Big bro!" Immediately, she gets there and sees Xander staring out.
