Anthony only felt Raul was short-sighted. He stood still and narrowed his eyes as he watched him walk away, "What a loser to feel nothing when he's even belittled by Suny."
He murmured several more curses before he got into a car with his assistants and left Phantom. Shortly after his leaving, Austin called Suny.
She paused from leafing through the documents, went up to the floor-to-ceiling windows, and saw Anthony's car drive away. "What's up?"
"Did Anthony come to you?"
"Not me. He came for our boss."
Austin's expression slightly changed, "Did he force you to do anything?"
She smiled, "I suppose there are few people who are able to force me."
Austin thought for a while and changed the subject, "What do you want to have for dinner?"
She said, pensively, "If I say whatever, would you be crossed?"
Indeed, nothing came to her mind.
"Not at all. I'll arrange it."
"Okay."
"Have you done with your thing? Should I pick you up now?"
Suny thought a moment, "Alright."
She just wasted some time dealing with that Anthony. Now it was half past five, and it should be six o'clock, time for dinner after she had finished signing documents.
When she was done with her work, Austin called. He was downstairs.
She hung up the phone, picked up her things, and left the office.
On her way out, she happened to run into Rosa, to whom she reminded, "Pay heed to what Anthony's doing lately."
Rosa nodded, "Yes, Miss Holland."
Suny looked at her and cracked a smile, "Alright, don't overwork yourself."
"Right."
Rosa knew Suny truly meant what she meant.
Suny curved up her lips and went into the elevator with her high heels on.
It was still bright outside. She noticed immediately that Austin was by his car.
It was time to get off and flocks of people were flushing out the building. Austin, with his suit and broad figure, and handsome face, attracted plenty of girls.
Suny fastened her pace. He took her hand the moment she was in front of him.
The girls that intended to ask for numbers backed off at the sight of Suny, for she was too pretty to compete with.
She peeped at him, "Are you not busy?"
Why was she getting the sense that ever since she was back together with him, the man that used to be mysterious and occupied with work suddenly became so…not busy? Sometimes even idler than her.
"No."
He answered as he opened the car door for her.
She stooped to enter the shotgun seat and had the safe belt fastened by Austin, who then went to the driver's seat.
She lifted her eyebrows and tilted her head, "What are we going to eat tonight?"
"French dishes?"
"Alright."
She smiled as she watched the hustle and bustle before them.
Their car soon merged with the busy traffic on the road.
The site of the French restaurant was not so close to the city center. Apparently, it was arranged by Ivan.
Their table was already reserved. When they entered, a waiter ushered them to their spot, which was near the window.
It was all very elegant, with a white piano placed not far. A man in a white suit was playing on it.
Suny ordered some dishes that she would normally have and told Austin how she teased Anthony today.
Austin looked at her with a smile in his eyes and said with a tender look, "If he shows up next time, just have him expelled."
