Birthday Celebration Continues...

Anna and Susan gets down from the car and was about to enter the Mall when Anna hears a familiar voice from her back, she turns back to see the person and gets surprise.

"Hello Ms. Anna, we met again" Xian shouts out enough to grab Anna's attention from behind.

"Mr....Mr. Xian, It's surprise to see you here", Anna tries to cover up her anger with a sweet smile as she didn't wanted Susan to know about the night.

Xian walks towards Susan and hands over the flower bouquet to her while wishing her happy birthday. Susan thanks him with a question mark on her face. Xian could make out the curiosity developing in Susan mind and thus breaks the same "I am Xian Xu, working with Anna on the new project", Xian introduce himself while placing his hand for a shake. Susan smiles and responds back with the hand shake. They both were too busy in their talk and have almost forgot about Anna's presence.

"Excuse me Mr. Xian, I think you might be getting late for your meeting" Anna interrupts them while giving an angry look in her eyes to Xian.

"I am not here for any meeting Ms. Anna."

"Then? I am sorry to ask you this but, aren't you supposed to be in office"

"Hahaha...you are funny Ms. Anna. I am the boss of the company, rules don't apply for me. You are my guest and your friend is my friend. How can I leave two beautiful ladies alone in Japan streets. It will my honor to treat the birthday girl. Am I correct Ms. Susan" Xian shifts his eye contact to Susan while speaking out to get a positive response from Susan. He had prepared a lot before appearing in front of them and didn't wanted this chance to be ruined by rejection from Susan as this was the only way he could spend some time with Anna.

"You are such a gentleman Mr. Xian, it will be my honor to celebrate my day with you." Susan replies back to Xian with a smile. She could sense something cooking between Xian and Anna and wanted to know more thus takes the opportunity to invite Xian.

"We were just heading to watch a movie, It will be my pleasure if you can join us", Susan turns back to Xian.

"Yes, why not. Let me get the tickets for us. You both can grab a seat inside." Xian picks up the offer in no time and starts walking towards the counter.

The moment Xian walks away, Anna starts screaming at Susan "What made you ask him to stay with us, he is my boss. He can't watch movie with us". Anna face was turning red while she was speaking about Xian.

"Why not, he is such a gentleman. He even got me flowers and came here to spend the day with us. Do we have a rule in Japan where it states that you can't watch movie with your boss? Is it a crime OR you guys made any history in the following day?". Susan questions Anna to get something out of her mouth.

Anna was left shocked with Susan words, the moment she hears those words the night scene came to her mind. She fumbles and replies back to her "Hahaha...there is nothing as such...you know me well...It's just that I don't want anyone to get wrong ideas about us...that's it" Anna tries to cover her lie and anger with the fake laugh.

"No one will misunderstand anything, he is not alone with you. And a company of someone who is familiar with this place is not that bad. Come lets head inside." Susan grabs Anna hand and walks inside the mall.

Xian was already waiting for them with tickets and cold coffee. "Here you go". He hands over the coffee to Anna and Susan and guides them to the theater.

All three grabs their seats. Xian made sure the arrangements were made in such a way that Anna sits in the middle of Susan and him. He knew that this is the best opportunity to stay near Anna as she will not say anything in front of her best friend and Xian was already missing her presence from yesterday. He had planned the day so to spend the time with her. He was fine if Susan was third wheel between them, somehow he was happy for Susan becoming the third wheel as he could grab the opportunity to be with his woman.

On the other hand, Anna was fuming with anger as he was trying all her best to avoid Xian but now ends up watching movie with him and the worst part was that he was sitting next to her. She didn't want Susan to sense anything fishy and thus held her fake smile, but only she knew how badly she wanted to murder Xian.

After five minutes, lights starts getting dim and in few seconds theater was in complete darkness. Anna heartbeats started raising after releasing a strong-arm touching her hand. She knew Xian was trying to hold her arm. Thus before he could make the move she wraps both her arms on Susan arm and bend towards her lying on her shoulder while watching the movie. Xian turns his head to see Anna's face and was left shocked to see her giving him naughty smile, he could make out that Anna realized his plan and felt disappointed.

All three walks out of the theater after watching the movie and Susan turns towards Xian to speak something. Before she could start, Xian interrupts her.

"I have my friend's hotel nearby and it's time for lunch already. So if you guys are OK, we can head over there". Xian requests both of them with his eyes seeking "YES" as an answer.

Anna opens her mouth and was about to reject the offer when she feels been drawn back by Susan who starts to reply to Xian requests. "Yeah sure, why not. We both are new here and not sure of the restaurants and food much. It's great to get accompanied by someone who is well-known with the places." Susan smiles while replying to Xian. She has seen the look in Xian eyes for Anna while he was trying to request them for lunch and wanted to know more about their relationship as she could sense some tension between these two.

Susan was familiar with Japan as she was born here and have spent ample amount of time roaming in and out of Japan but to make an excuse for Xian's offer, she hides her identity. Anna gets shocked with Susan words and gazes at her with questionable look. Susan hugs Anna from side and grins at her. She whispers in her ears "You better play along". Anna smiles with tensed look and all three head towards the car park.

"Let's take my car." Susan guides them towards her car and before Xian could question her about the car she continues her statement. "This is my far relative's car and he gave me to drive it until I am here in Japan". She smiles and hands over the car keys to Xian. "I hope you won't let a woman to drive the car right?" She winks at Xian and grabs the back seat. "Sure lady, It's my pleasure to drive for two most beautiful ladies." Xian smiles while walking towards the driver seat and gets himself settled at the driver seat.

Anna was about to take the back seat when Susan interrupts her. "Anna, take the seat next to driver, Xian should not feel as if he is our driver. After all we are going to his friend's hotel." Anna rolls her eyes and grabs the seat next to driver.

Xian turns on his left and winks at Susan for the fabulous move of making Anna sit at front, next to him.

He starts the car and drove till the Hotel.

After arriving at the Hotel, Xian gets down and open the gates for both the ladies. All three heads towards the entrance and make themselves comfortable after grabbing the table in long dinning hall.

"The Hotel ambiance is very nice, thank you for inviting us to your friend's place". Susan thanks him while looking around the Hotel.

"Excuse me Mam and Sir, please help me with your order." Waiter approaches them after they get settle.

All three orders food and continuous their talk while enjoying their food.

It was 5 in the evening when they came out of the Hotel. Actually they finished their lunch an hour before but Susan and Xian kept taking to each other continuously for an hour.

"So, what's next", Susan questions Xian and Anna while coming out of the Hotel.

Anna was super annoyed by Xian's company and tries to take the opportunity to throw him out of the scene. "Sir, you might be missing important meetings for the day. You have spent enough time with us and we both feels tired. Let's call it a day and we will head to the Hotel" Anna speaks with a fake smile and angry look in eyes.

"What, are you crazy. We still have the complete evening and night. Aren't we going anywhere." Susan screams at Anna after hearing those words
