Ashley started a new job at a company called Allianz and had been working there a few months. One day her coworker invited her to tag along to a dinner party where everyone brings a food or drink from a chosen country and anyone is welcome to join. Feeling the need to step outside her comfort zone she agreed to go. The day of the dinner Ashley had lunch with her one work friend from orientation. The two chatted about their weekends and Ashley mentioned the party. Her friend thought that sounded like something his younger brother would do and he wished her luck on her adventure. At the dinner Ashley stood awkwardly near her coworker not knowing anyone else. People had name tags and it was a whole new world. Sunny had arrived at the party ready to socialize and scope out the eligible women. He spies Ashley and her coworker John. He knows John so he and John chat for a little. John introduces Ashley. Ashley and Sunny are talking, they both seem like nice people. Sunny asks about her work and she mentions she works at Allianz. Sunny makes a comment about his brother working there. This perks Ashley's interest, but she waits a couple more minutes before randomly asking, "What's your brothers name?" Weird question Sunny thinks, but he answers. Ashley's face immediately lights up, "Shut up, I just had lunch with your brother today! He's one of my best work friends!". Sunny doesn't know what to think, but Ashley is all too ready to prove she knows his brother. The two ended up chatting, sharing wine, and laughing the rest of the night. The amazing pasta dish he made might have helped seal the deal. That and he charming smile. As they say, the rest is history.
