Chapter 106: Almost have the same name
Zamian hadn’t expected that from Mira; no one interrupted the almighty Zamian, after all. But her warning gaze surprised him, catching him off guard. What was that about? he thought, but his musings were cut short by Little Zami’s voice.
"Reawwy? Oh, Mummy, we almost have the same name!" Zami exclaimed, her wide eyes darting eagerly between Mira and Zamian, her curiosity uncontained.
Mira smiled warmly at her daughter. "Yes, baby." Zami’s mouth formed an excited "wow" as the delivery lady finished packaging the cake, holding the bag up with a proud smile.
"We’d be happy to help you drop the bag in the car. It seems we made a mistake, and we hope our compensation is satisfactory," the lady said, bowing respectfully. Her male colleague, dressed in the same company uniform, also bowed, avoiding eye contact with Zamian as he addressed Mira. No one needed to tell Mira that Zamian had something to do with this sudden change in attitude.
"Mr. Zamian, are you coming for my birthday?" Little Zami asked, her curiosity getting the better of her. She thought that if Zamian had bought her a present, it meant he would be there for her celebration.
Mira gave Little Zami a gentle, cautioning glance, silently urging her to behave before turning to Zamian.
"Don’t worry. Mr. Zamian has a lot of work to do, so he may not be able to come to your birthday," she said, hoping to manage her daughter’s expectations.
Zami pouted, her disappointment evident. But to Mira’s surprise, Zamian spoke up, his tone unwavering. "I will go to your birthday. I’ll be there."
Both Mira and Zami were taken aback.
"Rewwy?" Zami’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Yes, really." Zamian’s serious tone softened just a little.
