I was in the middle of knitting when there was a phone call. I cursed inwardly. It better not be Mr Yang begging me to work under his company. There is no way I am going to do that. When I reached the table, I grabbed the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey Sweetheart," Dad greeted.

"Hello Dad! What's up?" I asked.

"Well, I'm calling you because I have a surprise for you tomorrow. We have a meeting with a very important person and I want you to come with me,"

Meeting with an important person? "Who are we meeting, Dad?"

"It's a surprise sweetheart. I can't tell you who it is but you will be excited when we meet him for lunch tomorrow. Anyway, please dress nicely okay? I'll pick you up tomorrow,"

I sighed. The only clue I have that that person we are meeting is a guy. That's all. "Dad, don't tell me you're dating a man!" I said, a little angry.

The old man was laughing very hard on the other side of the line. "Ashlee! No it's not! It is one of my business partners. Yes, that's all I can tell you. Okay, I have to go now! Toodles!"

I giggled before putting down the phone. Since when did Dad even end his phone call with 'Toodles'? Only some teenage girls do! Now that I have a very important meeting, I decided to look at the outfits that I have for me to dress up nicely tomorrow.

Black? White? Pink? Orange? Yellow? Blue? Purple?

It has been two hours and I could not decide which outfit I want to wear. Not only the Colours matter, the type of clothing I want to wear also matters! Jeans? Dress? Skirt? Shorts? Ah, someone help me!

"Oh my god, I'm so fickleminded!" I grumbled.

"Do you need any help there?" Someome asked. I turned around and looked at Kris, who was leaning against the closet door with his arms crossed.

"Can you at least please knock on the door before coming in. You might not know whether I'm fully clothed or not," I said.

"Aw, I'm sorry. I called you but you didn't answer me so I decided to barged into your room," He giggled. "Anyway, what are you finding for?"

"I'm finding for an outfit for Lunch with my Dad and his business partner tomorrow," I said, rummaging the shirts pile.

"Hmm, let me help you find the perfect one too,"

After three hours, Kris managed to find the perfect outfit. It was a white slowly dress, short sleeves with lace trimmings. "Here, it will be perfect on you. And these white heels too," He handed it to me.

At that moment, I felt embarrassed because I have never imagined someone picking out an outfit for me. I'm a fashion designer and should be able to pick one easily. Ah, everything changes when you're pregnant.

"Oh my, thank you Kris," I swung my arms around him, giving him a hug.

He laughed. "No problem. Just call me whenever you have a brain fart or something,"

He help me stand up before I went into the room, placing the dress and the shoes on the bed to make sure that Bobby approves of it. At that moment, my stomach grumbled.

"Someone's hungry," Kris appeared beside me.

"I'm craving for loads of foods you know," I replied, feeling a little bit guilty.

"Ah, I'm going to be an overweight man!" He grumbled.

"Hmm, if you're afraid of gaining weight, why don't we buy food and then visit Bobby afterwards? We'll eat there with him," I smiled.
