His Surrogate || COMPLETED [EDITED]

CHAPTER 1: HEARTBREAK & ONE NIGHT STAND MISTAKE

Zoey's Pov

"Hey Emma. I'm so sorry for calling you up, I know you must be busy with some work but I need your help." I said over the phone to my best friend and housemate, Emma.

It's my fiance Julian's birthday. I already brought him a cake, but i'm lost on what else to add to it. I'm not that good at buying gifts for males. Emma is an expert since she's been in a couple of relationships, while Julian is my first love and first date.

"Seriously, Zoey? You've been with Julian for two years now, and you still don't have any idea how to buy gifts for a male?" Emma said, making me roll my eyes.

I'm not ready for her lecture now. Yeah, me and Julian have been dating for close to two years now. And he just engaged me last month, but I am still terrible at buying gifts for males. Not to talk more about my fiance.

"Are you helping out or not?" I asked, and I could swear she rolled her eyes at me.

"Where are you now?" She asked.

"I'm in front of a mall, I just got out after buying the cake." I told her, waiting for her to say something.

"Okay. Go back, and get him some wrist watches. Wrap it up in a gift pack and give it to him." She said, but I feel odd about that.

"Just a wrist watch?" I asked, because it doesn't actually look cool just to give your man a wrist watch.

"Not any wrist watch, dummy." Emma said, more like scolding.

"Okay, thanks Emma. I owe you one."

"Whatever." She said and ended the call.
I placed the pack of cake at the back seat of my car, then shut it.

I made my way back to the mall. I plan on surprising Julian at his place this time, instead of planning a romantic dinner like his other birthdays.

Now it's 5pm. I need to rush, cause he might think I've forgotten his birthday. I wouldn't have been this late if I didn't have a couple of surgeries to handle before leaving the hospital.

Yeah, I am a medical doctor and surgeon.
I quickly grabbed the wrist watch that caught my eyes, though it's quite expensive. I gave it to the lady at the counter, and I also begged her to wrap it up in a gift pack. I had to pay a token for that.
After I was done, I made my way to my car in a hurry. I got in, and made my way to Julian's place. He'll be so surprised to see me.

***

My car came to a halt in front of Julian's gate. I don't plan on driving into the house because it would spoil my surprise. I came down from my car, grabbed the pack of gifts and the pack of cake. I locked my car, and carefully made my way to the gate.

I gave a knock, and the gatekeeper opened the gate. He smiled on seeing me.

"Good evening ma'am." He greeted me with a smile which I returned.

"Hey, Henry. How are you?" I asked as I made my way in.

"I'm okay, ma'am."

"Is your boss in?" I asked.
If he isn't in, I will have to decorate everywhere till he arrives. But if he is, I won't have to do that then. I'll just present the cake with a birthday song.

"He is in." He replied, and I mouthed an 'oh'.
I looked at the parking lot, I saw all his three cars there. So, yeah he's around.

"Okay, thank you." I said and made my way to the house.
