Redeeming The Golden Ticket To Life

Chapter 64: To The Party

[POV Hu Qiang]

Last night I witnessed an altogether different side of my wife. Cute, docile, homely and laid back.

I have always seen her in active mode from the time she woke up. Last night while I accompanied her I realised, she simply lacked trust in me. I am not saying that she is completely truthful towards me but she is at least trying to actively close the distance between us.

(I like that. I like that we are trying.)

I am in the office. I would pick her up in the evening for the semi-formal event tonight.

The day passed by without any major upsets. 

I close the file I am working on and look at my wristwatch. It's 4:00 p.m. 

'I better get going.'

I start to clean up my table. When-

[Tring Trringg]

My office landline started to ring. I paused and answered the call.

"Hello"

"Hello Sir, there is someone who wants to meet you," she got interrupted, "Darling"

Listening to that voice "let her in." I replied.

After sometime the elevator chimed on my floor and there was sound of heels clicking,

[Knock Knock]

I felt a little mischievous. So I replied, "Who's there?"

A melodious chime like voice replied, "Your Queen, serve her".

I opened the door wide open, fit for a queen to enter. I stood stunned.

She looked mesmerising as she stood by the door. She is wearing a dark burgundy bodycon evening gown with sparkling gold jewelleries. It looked simple, yet chic. 

"Close your gaping mouth. I got you your change of clothes for the evening event. We will leave from your office. If possible let's have dinner before we go to the actual event."

My brain is still mesmerized by her looks.

"Chop-Chop, let's hurry up," She urged.

I took the package from her hand and went to the side room in the office, to change. While she waited outside.

I freshened up in the small attached washroom and then speedily changed my dress. It is a three piece suit, charcoal black in colour with faint grey pinstripes on the trouser. The inner shirt is off-gray in colour.

The cuff-links are made up of gold to match her accessories and there were shiny boots to go with. But I couldn't find a tie. 

I walked out of the side room. There I see, Bai Chang sprawled over the couch.

"Are you not feeling well?" I asked her in concern. 

"Nah.. I'm getting a feel of the couch for some future plans," she said as she winked at me.

And I swear my heart fluttered.

"Come here," she commanded. I walk towards her already bewitched. She got a silk tie in bold royal blue colour and started to tie it around my neck. It feels super intimate. I am able to see her face up close. Her winged eyeliner, kohl filled eyes and shimmery light pink eyeshadow. Dark red juicy lips

"Okay done."

Her voice broke me from my thoughts. We looked at each other and I took her hands, we walked out of my office, to the party.

(It's time to battle with words.)
