When Sei noticed her being in dazed, the smile in his face faded. And he was about to talk again when Davi's hands suddenly landed on both of his cheeks.
"Smile again, please." She suddenly said, looking so damn excited, as if she just saw her cute little pet smiled for the first and she wanted to see it again.
"Please, smile again." She pleaded while the man was once again fell completely speechless. More than three invisible dots appeared above his head again as he looked at her as she pleads. Well, it was because Sei didn't realized he just smiled.
The next second, Davi started pinching his cheeks gently as she continued pleading excitedly with stars in her eyes.
However, before Sei could even say a thing, Mr. Chen came.
"I'm really sorry young miss but the young master has to answer this call at all cost." He said as he reached out the cellphone to the man.
And like an excited little kid being suddenly scolded by her strict mom, Davi slowly let go of Sei's face as she bit her lower lip. Sei's eyes immediately glanced at the cellphone's screen and when he saw who was the caller, he stood right away as he took the cellphone. He landed his hand in her head quickly before he walked away, leaving her in the dining hall.
When she couldn't see her husband's silhouette anymore, Davi's shoulders fell and she bumped her head on top of the table. She thought she was already quite used with this situation, since this always happens when she's with him.
However, that moment, Davi was still ecstatic. She was a bit disappointed that she failed to make him smile again but the fact that she made him smile just made her felt a huge achievement. Moreover, she was beyond happy because she finally saw him smile.
Ahh, he looks so cute. A smiling little beast is just so adorable. Wait… did he smile because he was happy when I told him I wanted to be his bodyguard?
…
Later that night, Sei was in front of his computer again when Zaki who was sitting just behind him broke the silence.
"Anyway Sei, are you even aware that you actually smiled at her?" he asked and his question instantly caught the man's attention.
He turned towards him as he realized what happened hours ago.
"So that's why she was pleading me to smile again, huh." He said as he averted his gaze and stared at the moon peeking in the large window.
"Hey, is that the only reaction you have? Don't you know that you never smiled even once for a decade? I repeat, a decade!" Zaki was just trying to make him talk more. However, the man stayed silent. He looked like he was deep in thought again, as though telling him he won't hear anything more from him. But as usual, Zaki won't just give up.
"And seriously, you're even blushing now. I can't believe this. You, blushing over a lovey-dovey little pink Band-Aid was just unbelievable, just so you know."
"Zaki, tell me..." he finally talked again while his gaze was still glued to the moon. "What do you think is going on with me?"
