Her energy was drained after two weeks full of hectic days mostly due to her online store that was reached its peak team during the festive season season.

"Hey, get up Hon ! I promised you that I'll pick you up early today. We need to pack up and get ready for tomorrow. Holiday !" Nick caressed and kissed her belly who had showed the baby bump.

"Ok. I am so lazy" She reluctantly got up

Alice frowned as she saw her belly full of love making traces "Darling, please don't torment our baby". He just giggle as loved to kissed her belly.

Alice sat on the dinning table, the breakfast was ready "Sory Mum, I woke up late today. But I'll do earlier tomorrow"

"It's fine. Do you feel the baby kicking already ?" Mrs Feng caressed Alice belly.

Alice shook her head with disappoinment.

"It will be soon. By the way, I am going to help your father, so you organise your own dinner" Mrs Feng told her Children.

"We are going to help you tomorrow. Alan will come" Sean pecked his mother before left.

"I will cook for tonight dinner. It's very quiet on the shop. Most of the stock has gone" Alice pecked Mrs Feng cheek before she and Nick left as well.

"Mum, Josh and me will help as well. I am also free today. Sister in law give me a day off" Cacha said.

"You just do the shopping today. we can not come to their place empty handed" Mrs Feng gave Cacha a few stuff to be bought for Mr and Mrs Yamaguchi.

"Ok"

Normally, Nick only drove Alice in front of her shop. But his time, he parked his car on the secure car park. He was chuckled when he got off from his car while Alice stared at him. "Do you remember what we did here six months ago ? Do you want another one today ?" He teased.

Alice smacked her husband shoulder "Shameless".

He went upstairs with her as he helped her to carry a box. "I'll pick you up by two o'clock" he kissed her forehead before left.

Alice gathered all her staff then she opened the box and handed out the content"This is Christmas present from me and Josh. You can go home on luch time. I wish you have a nice break and I'll see you again on 5 of January. Merry Christmas and happy new year" She greeted every one and they greeted her back.

Nick also had a quite day in his office. Just before lunch he gathered all his teams on the meeting room He also gave his employee Christmas present but a simple one. He gave two cinema pass to his staff "I hope you enjoy this festive season. Enjoy for break for those who have their day off. For those who stay, thank you, Any problem you can contact me on my phone. Also, before you go on holiday, please pack your personal belonging on to the boxes and label it with your name because when we are back in January, we won't be here. On 2 until 4th you guys worked from home . I will text you the office address on the 2nd. Merry Christmas and happy new year".

"Boss, do we have new office ?". Nick nodded.

"wow !" every one cheered

"Boss, are you not here tomorrow ?" One of the lady asked.

"nope. I am helping my parents tomorrow" he left the meeting room and went to his office to pack up before called the day.

Alice was delighted to see Liz parents when they picked Liz up that day. She hadn't seen them for sometimes.

"Alice, this is some sweet for you and your family also for Dr Feng. Liz insisted to make it last night. Thank you so much for look after her" Liz mum hugged her.

"It's my pleasure. She is a great help for me. I hope she has a nice break before more busy days next year" Alice said.

"Oh, I see what Liz mean. She is actually telling me your are pregnant" Liz mum was dumpstruck when she saw Alice baby bump. Alice giggled then Liz took.her mother away.
