After forgetting to pick up his niece for the second time, Neil knew that he will need to learn to be more attentive towards Hazel's matters. When his brother passed away, he had promised that he was going to look after Hazel and at this moment, Neil did not think that he had done a good job.

The last time when he came to pick up Hazel from the kindergarten, the little girl was the only one who left. Although he could sense the glum look from Hazel's expression, the little girl had not said a thing and smiled when he asked her a few questions.

Seeing this made Neil a bit guilty.

Because of his matter, he seemed to implicate the kindergarten teacher as well. As Edith Qian was Hazel's classroom teacher, she had to stay until he came over to fetch his niece. Only then will she be able to return home.

Neil still remembered that Edith stayed in an apartment in A City. Although the distance between the two cities was not that far, it would still require more than an hour if she commuted between the cities with public transport. After thinking about the matter for a while, Neil had insisted to send Edith home.

In the next following days, Neil Mo had instructed Old Tang to fetch Hazel from the kindergarten to his office. Other than that, the driver was not required to do anything else and therefore, these days, Neil would drive himself whenever he needed to visit a place.

Usually, after picking up Hazel from the kindergarten, Nanny Ann will look after his niece until he came back at night.

However, Nanny Ann was recuperating after her accident and was unable to look after Hazel. With no other alternative, Neil can only let Hazel come over the office and let her stay there until it was time for him to return home.

At this time, Neil walked out of his meeting room and head over his office. He pushed the door open and paused when his gaze stopped at the small figure on the sofa. He stretched his hand to stop his assistant from making a move. Turning his eyes to his niece again, his eyes began to soften as he saw that Hazel was curled into a fetal position and her body was shivering.

Neil turned to his assistant again and placed a finger on his lips, signaling the other to keep his voice down. Then, as he walked into the room, Neil took off his coat to cover Hazel's tiny body. His hand reached for the remote to adjust the temperature in the room.

"How was the matter about finding a caretaker for Hazel?" Neil asked in a low voice as the two walked over to his desk.

"I have made an arrangement and found a few candidates," Assistant Shawn replied. "They were just waiting to be interviewed by you."

Neil paused, then nodded. "Ask the candidates to come over tomorrow. It's not good for Hazel to stay at the office. At least if she was with a caretaker, Hazel will be able to rest properly."

"Yes, President Mo." Assistant Shawn tapped something into her phone and looked up again. "When should I schedule this interview?"

Neil thought for a while and glanced at his niece. "Just arrange them to come after Hazel came back from her kindergarten. It's best to have her along during the interview and find someone she can get along with."

…

The next day, Driver Tang came over to picked up Hazel from kindergarten just as a large group of students had left the premises with their parents.

In the past few days, Edith no longer has to stay at the school late to look over her student as the driver would pick up Hazel before everyone had left.

After announcing that someone had come to pick up Hazel, Edith spent a short time to exchange small talk with the driver. After waiting for about a minute, Hazel Mo finally came out and there was a weak smile on her face.

"Grandpa Tang," Hazel greeted.

Edith turned around and a slight frown appeared on her face when she looked at the little girl's face. Though Hazel was tilting her head down, Edith was able to sense that something does not seem right. "Hazel, are you alright?"

Hazel looked up as if she was startled upon hearing her teacher's voice. Then a smile bloomed on her face before she nodded. "Un. I'm alright."

Seeing the bright smile on her face, Edith let out a breath of relief and thought that perhaps she was thinking too much. After sending Hazel to the door, she then turned around to manage the other students.

Hazel Mo closed her eyes and leaned back on her seat as soon as she entered the vehicle.

Driver Tang looked at the rear mirror and was about to say something when he noticed that the girl had already closed her eyes. Knowing that Hazel was someone who did not like to talk to others much, Driver Tang chose to focus on his driving to MH Headquarters.

As soon as they arrived, Driver Tang called up Hazel's name softly and the girl opened her eyes and slid out of the vehicle.

Assistant Shawn was already waiting at the lobby when Driver Tang led Hazel into the lobby. Seeing the way Assistant Shawn was treating the girl, some of the employees who were at the lobby began to whisper among themselves.

Recently, they have started to notice that the little girl would show up at the company and as soon as she arrived, Assistant Shawn will be personally leading her to the President's office.

Very soon, the words that the young miss of MH Group came over to the company after school spread, and some curious staff would come out to peek at this little girl. After all, when her parents were still alive, both Adam Mo and Claire Fan had never brought her out for others to see.

Some had planned to approach Hazel just to get close to the president of MH Group, but with Assistant Shawn around her, the others did not dare to get close.

Assistant Shawn bent down to the girl's level as they waited for the elevator to arrive. "Little Miss, is there anything you would like to eat for snacks?"

Hazel bit on her lips and blinked slowly. "No." Her voice was a whisper.

Assistant Shawn frowned upon noticing that there was something not right with the little girl. Just as he was about to speak, a voice called out his name.

Turning around, the frown on his face deepened upon seeing that it was Manager Autumn Fang.

The Assistant's face twisted when he saw the manager approaching, but in a flash, the usual smile on his face returned.
