She Knew She Loved Him(Completed) - Chapter 10:He Followed Her Home
Days turned to weeks and weeks turned to months. Alex completely forgot he was curious about the beautiful girl with deep blue eyes. Two months passed and Zunnie still had no idea who stayed in the condo down the hall.
On two occasions she had gone to the door to introduce herself but chickened out. She even began taking the elevator more often to make the acquaintance of her neighbor but she never met the person.
Since she had been touched when the previous neighbor came to introduce himself with cakes from his daughter. Zunnie wanted to show the same kindness that had been given to her to the next person who moved in.
‘Maybe there’s no-one living there.’ She had thought and forgotten about it.

Lately, her office had been gaining positive feedback because her treatment methods proved to be efficacious. Her patients increased to the point where she hardly had time to hang out with Sanua. She hadn’t dined out since that day her brother and his girlfriend took her out to eat French cuisine. When she finally had a break, Sanua invited her to Club Zen.
She walked into the restaurant side of the club and headed straight to the dining table Sanua sat waiting.
Zunnie wore a light brown blazer over a white sleeveless turtleneck top that she tucked into a red high-waist, wide leg dress pants. She looked exceptionally classy wearing her work outfit.
“My…my…my, you definitely go to work slaying,” Sanua exclaimed as she stood to hug her.
“Well, aren’t you kind!” Zunnie blushed when her fashion mogul best friend complimented her.

In a private room at the same club, four people were having dinner as well. Natalia excused herself and went to the bathroom leaving three men in the room.
“So, Zi boy you’re not going to fill us in on…” Juno Langu was surprised to see Alex walk in with a beauty behind him.
“Just a friend,” Alex replied cutting him off. He knew what Juno was up to and hurriedly cut him off.
“Are you sure, because the way she looks at you says otherwise.”
“What the hell do I care with the way she looks at me. I said she’s just a friend. We knew each other when we were kids. You guys said to bring her along. I had no intentions of doing so.”
Alex had expected his friends to tease him when he showed up with Natalia. Why else would they ask him to bring her?
Earlier he got a call from the mansion asking him to pick up documents from his grandfather. When he arrived, Natalia was there. She had been waiting on her driver who seemed to be late, so he agreed to drop her off in the city.
Having heard the conversation between him and Hunter, Natalia stated she was hungry. Upon Hunter’s request, he had no choice but to bring her along.

After dinner, Hunter was walking them to the door when Alex stopped. Hunter noticed and turned around to see what his buddy was staring. As soon as he saw Sanua Lou, Hunter guessed that the pretty girl dining with her must be the one Alex had asked him about. He smiled and continued walking.
Alex had been the last one to walk out of the private room. He was about to call Secretary Zhang when he saw her smile. He stopped abruptly. He knew she came to Club Zen but did not expect to bump into her. He took a quick glance in her direction then acted as if nothing happened. He continued dialing his secretary who happened to be five minutes away.
Curious about her, he sat in his car and waited for the girl with deep blue eyes and red-brown hair to walk out. He sent Natalia with Juno so he could stare at her some more.
He sat in his car for twenty minutes before the two ladies came out. Secretary Zhang had no idea what his boss was planning. He stared at him through the review mirror a confused look emerged on his face. Just as he was about to ask his boss if he was okay, he heard him say.
“Follow that black Volvo!”
Following his boss’ command, he hurriedly followed the car.
They had been driving for fifteen minutes and Secretary Zhang couldn’t help wondering why his boss had asked him to follow the Volvo if he knew where it was going.
Alex’s eyes were glued on the vehicle in front of them. He was indeed surprised when he noticed that the car took the same route to Lake-view.
Although, he had not planned to follow her home, when Zhang arrived he still wanted to stare at her. He sat in the car and watched her through the window as she happily chatted with Sanua.
He had only asked Zhang to follow her on impulse; but now that they were both heading in the same direction, he couldn’t help but feel anxious.
Both cars parked in the basement parking lot. He waited as she took the elevator, then got out and run to see on what floor she got off.
“Third?” he mumbled as he pushed the up button.
Zhang sat in the car observing his boss’ odd behavior. Seeing Alex forget he was there, he took his phone and dialed Alex’s number. All he said was;
“You can go home,” then hung up the phone.
Alex got off the elevator on the third floor and stared at the door to his right.
“So, all this time she has been my neighbor?” He smirked, walked to his door, and disappeared inside.
