Mickey offered her arms to him and he kissed her forehead. They slept peacefully together.
When Sarai woke up in the morning, she poured thousands of kisses on Stephan before going for a bath. After she took her bath, she got coffee for both of them.I don’t know when I’ll be able to have morning coffee again with him,she thought.
They both were silent while they sipped their coffee.
After having coffee, he took her back to the airport and escorted her onto the plane before giving her a kiss.

“I’m sorry honey. I know you must be very upset. But I needed you here. David went to Italy for an event, and you know I couldn’t make it without you,” Sarai said as they both were seated in the conference room for discussion.
“No worries. I understand, Sarai. This event must be much bigger?”
“Yes, it is. It is party event for foreign delegations of different countries coming here for a meet. We have the meeting in the afternoon today.”
“All right, I’ll be ready.” Mickey smiled.
“I know, I’ve ruined your vacation. I apologize for that, Mickey,” Sarai said as she looked down at the table.
“You should absolutely apologize to me.” Sarai looked at Mickey as Mickey burst into laughter.
“What?” Sarai asked raising her brows.
“First thing, this office is my first love, and my utmost priority. And second, when I got home last night, I received a message from Stephan that he is coming in three days just to see me.”
“Oh… Wow, Mickey! I’m so relieved now, and I don’t have any little doubt that he loves you so much.”
“Yes. I can read his eyes, and the way he looks at me full of love and compassion, it makes my heart melt. But…” Mickey paused for some time. “But he says he has some secrets, which he needs to tell me. I saw him struggling every time he tried. I’m a little scared now; what if there’s something I cannot accept?”
“Aww… Mickey, as much as I have understood him through the talks we’ve had, he’s really a nice guy who wants to tell you the truths of his life. You’ll have to face it girl.” Mickey nodded. “Maybe he also is half human and half dragon.” Sarai laughed and Mickey shrugged lightly slapping Sarai’s arm.
Sarai stood and started working on flower arrangements. “So, if he’s coming into town, I want you to do me the courtesy of both of you having dinner with me. I’d love to meet Stephan, and I know Alistair will also be thrilled by the distraction. He’s been working nonstop for his father for the past few weeks and needs to take a step back. I want him to meet Stephan, a man that has captured your heart and fascination.” Sarai said while putting the finishing touches on quite an exceptional and beautiful bouquet, with a price tag to make any discerning flower lover happy.
“That sounds perfect. I’ll ask him,” Mickey said as she checked the presentation Sarai had prepared for the meeting that day.

“Sarai, I’m going to the airport to pick up Stephan. He’ll be here in a few hours. I’ve checked all the designs and handed them to Silvia, so you can check when you have a minute.” Mickey said as she walked into Sarai’s office.
“Don’t forget to ask him about the dinner, okay?” Sarai said.
“I’m way ahead of you. I invited him to have dinner with the three of us last night and he accepted. He’s a little nervous and tried to decline at first, but I somehow convinced him. I hope Alistair can be on his best behavior tonight instead of brooding as usual.” She didn’t know where they were going to have dinner, but Sarai had already made the necessary arrangements.
“My place is the best venue. Not to brag, but I have the best wine in the cellar money can buy. I wasn’t much into the wine experience until I met Alistair. We go to vineyards all the time to sample a wide array of bouquets.” She was going to close down the business early so that they could get ready to leave a lasting impression on their paramours.
“I will admit to being a little bit intimidated by the property.”
“There’s no reason to be, but I understand the sentiment. I was the same way, and it does take some getting used to. We’ll have the house all to ourselves with no servants. The kids are staying with their grandparents, and there’s still a lot to do. I don’t want to leave it to the last minute.” Sarai showed her a mockup of the menu she was thinking about and made the necessary adjustments according to her wishes.
“I can’t remember the last time I cooked something. I will happily become your willing assistant to give these guys something to stick to their ribs. You know what they say. The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.”
Mickey headed to airport listening to her favorite songs. She had come back from Australia half-heartedly that day. Now as he was coming to meet her, she was very excited. Before she reached the airport, she grabbed some chocolates, a chicken sandwich, and a water bottle for him. This time she wanted to gift him something because every time it was Stephan who always sent her gifts. She had already bought a nice shirt for him.
She waited for Stephan, and when he appeared at a distance coming towards her there was a broad smile on her face. He looked extremely hot in his casual clothes.
Mickey you are so lucky, you have this gorgeous prince deeply in love with you.
“Stephan, how are you? Did you miss me?” She gave a small peck on his cheeks and Stephan smiled at her.
