The Dinner

Mia got down the stairs and noticed Lea already waiting for her at the dining table. She hugged her and sat down munching her food happily. "Hmm... I see my daughters are very happy these days." Lea smiled at her.

Hearing her words Mia blushed a bit. "It's nothing mommy.. just this city is lovely.." she answered hesitantly.

"This city or someone??" Lea raised her eyebrows.

"Mommy... You are thinking too much." The girl covered her red face with the cloth.

"Umm hmm..."

"I don't know... But whoever's making you both happy should not be the reason for your tears." Lea spoke in a serious tone.

Mia clutched her shirt in nervousness. "I promise mommy, nobody will make us cry." She assured. While Lea nodded her head in approval.

"Soo... Who's he??" Lea asked excitedly.

"Ummm.. he's... actually.. the CEO guy. But we're just friends and nothing more." Mia clarified immediately. She could not hide anything from her mommy.

"CEO... Of which company?" Lea asked again.

"Of Johnson Company, he's Alex Johnson." Mia answered stuffing some salad in her mouth.

"You mean... The business tycoon.... The Alex Johnson of Belgium??" Lea was shocked hearing the name.

"Yep."

And how did that happen??? When?? In that fashion show right??" Lea's curiosity was increasing with her questions.

"No mommy actually.. we met before that fashion show, when Eva visited Belgium last month." The girl spoke sipping water.

"Ohhh I see.... And.. Who is Eva dating??" Lea asked raising her eyebrows

"Eddy Anderson." Mia could not eat properly due to the sudden interrogation. "That guy.. who walked on the ramp with Eva? That athlete?" The latter continued her questions.

Mia nodded her head in a 'yes'. "I am full, okay may go to sleep.." Mia said running towards her room. While Lea was not expecting these names. "So my daughters are actually dating those famous people." She was happy but she also knew that famous people always have their complications.

Meanwhile...

Alex and Peter were clinking their glasses with Mr. Harley. "It's soo good that you guys are here." He said again with his wide smile.

"Why he is sooo much happy about his life??" Alex whispered into Peter's ears.

"Maybe he's always tied to his fashionista wife's panty." Peter said smirking at him.

They chuckled, holding their laughter in. Soon Mr. Harley's wife approached them with a drink in her hands.

"Food is ready honey." She said smiling at her husband.

"Yess.. wifey..." Mr. Harley spoke looking lovingly at his wife.

Mr. Harley and his wife Ashley together found the Harley International where is wife designed clothes and he used to sell them. They started from scratch.

"Come, let's eat..." He ushered the guests towards the dining table. When Alex saw the dishes on the dining table he smiled thinking about Mia. ' she can eat all of it by herself.' He thought.

"Boss, don't act like a fool." Peter nudged him on the shoulder. Pursing his lips Alex took a seat.

After dinner, Mr. Harley finally kept his proposal. "Mr. Johnson we've known each other for a very long time. And I know you are a great person, actually it's our 30th wedding anniversary next month. And I want to gift this locket to my wife designed under your guidance." He showed the picture to Alex.

"You want to give a locket with this design?" Alex asked with stunned expression.

"Yes Mr. Johnson and I know only you can give me that." Mr. Harley spoke with hope in his eyes.

"Yes Mr. Harley but why only this design?" Alex asked with curiosity. The locket in the picture was an old locket of gold which had an ancient design.

"Yes.... actually, when we were starting Harley International we were running out of money and there were many loans on us, so my wife sold this locket of hers. This was her mother's when she got married to me her mother gifted that to her." Mr. Harley sighed thinking about the old days.

Alex could not help smiling at his love for his wife. Even at this age and they loved eachother.

"We will make it, the way it is designed." He said smiling at Mr. Harley.

"I knew this... Thank you soo much Mr. Johnson." He hugged Alex patting his shoulders. "I hope you also get a love of your life soon." He continued.

Hearing his words Alex thought about Mia. And something itched in his heart. "I wish." His lips curved upwards.
