She Knew She Loved Him(Completed)

Zunnie closed her eyes tightly and leaned back into the office chair. She took a deep breath and massaged the back of her neck to help relax her tensed nerves. It had been a long day and the headache which had slowly crept its way to her temples reminded her that it was time to head home.

The patients she had seen today were gradually getting better, but they would be needing a few more therapy sessions.

She stared up at the ceiling and thought about the teenage girl with anorexia. She had been her most challenging patient for the day, but Zunnie was nothing near downcast. She was excited; excited to treat challenging patients; excited to make a difference; excited to help.

Even though most of them were skeptical and cautious during their first few sessions; the good thing was that they all came to get help, which psychologist viewed as a first and great step.

After a few minutes of working, she finally finished reading the appointments and messages her secretary had taken throughout the day.

After seeing which patients had been scheduled, she knew that tomorrow would be another long day for her. However, even if she had a few long days in the office, being a psychologist was her lifelong dream. She loved helping and making people feel better.

Turning off her computer, Zunnie Bai organized her desk neatly, grabbed her things then headed towards "Secretary Nyo's office."

He was still there. "Did I not tell him to head home four hours earlier?" She frowned thinking about it.

'My wristwatch is clearly showing nine PM.'

"Ehh emm..." Zunnie cleared her throat loudly to let him know she was there when she got to the doorway.

"Might I ask, why are you still here?" She inquired.

"Ahh! Miss Zunnie I was just finishing the documents for the meeting tomorrow morning."

"Are you done now?" She played along.

"Yes Miss Zunnie; I will walk out with you."

"Ha-ha! Stop calling me Miss Zunnie Nyo or I will ban you from coming to my office. Even if I am older than you, since when have you been so formal!" Zunnie jokingly replied.

Nyo giggled loudly as he grabbed his jacket and bag-pack to follow her.

"Did you get all your homework done? I don't want your mom to nag me today about you staying late to do homework again, even though it's Friday."

Nyo is her favorite aunts' son. He usually came to her office to get his homework done, claiming he got more stuff done there. He would sit in the lounge area outside the office and quietly get his studying done. How diligent this naughty little boy was when it came to school.

At ten years old he was already so handsome. Nyo's black hair ran just past his ears and his leaf brown eyes always had a sparkle in them when he chatted with Zunnie.

Seeing his sweet smile Zunnie felt even more relaxed than she had earlier and seemed to have completely forgotten she was scolding him. His sweet smile always melted her heart after a long day and seeing him now did just that.

Although he said he wanted to come work for her, what she did had nothing do with art. She couldn't help but laugh at his enthusiasm every time he mentioned being a psychologist. His dad would kill her if he found out.

"So, does you staying here this late means I have to buy you dinner and take you home?"

He looked at her and grinned knowing she was fully aware of his stunt.

This little trick of his was becoming too frequent. It was the third time this week. He stayed late just so she could buy him fast food.

"Ohh Ohh, have I been spoiling him too much?" Zunnie frowned as she thought about the possibility.

"Your mom is going to kill me before next week arrives. You need to eat your spinach young man! She scolded him.

"No way! Zunnie sis you know...the way she cooks it does not taste good at all!" He whined, pouting.

"Fine, I give in! But you only had spinach once this week. So, what's the excuse this time?"

"I just missed you and thought I should come to get my homework done at your office today. Dad has plans for the weekend. He said he will be taking me to his art studio again. Plus, it's Friday, I did not want to go home early." Nyo said gleefully.

Seeing she would not win this battle with this smartie pants, Zunnie decided to stop at a restaurant on the way home to ensure Nyo ate his veggies. She dropped him off and chatted with her aunt for a few minutes before leaving.

She then got in her car and drove toward Lake-view Condos. The tiredness which had disappeared when she left the office with Nyo, now made it's way back to her body.

Zunnie let her hair that had been in a bun loose and it gently fell down her back.

"Should I call Sanua? I wonder if she has already landed." She pursed her pink lips and glanced over to her handbag.

It was a Friday night, so the drive home took thirty minutes.

Driving into the garage, she saw a moving truck with people unloading a few things.

"Hmmm... New neighbor?" She thought curiously.
