Alex He's name echoed from the entrance through the playground area shortly after his mother showed up at the entrance. A while later, the little boy appeared and a little girl trailed closely behind him.

"Mommy!" Alex ran over to his mother and hug her thigh as he would usually react whenever his mother showed up to pick him up.

This time, instead of waiting for his mother to return his embrace, Alex immediately moved away. He turned around and suddenly his face turned red upon realizing that Hazel had seen that scene.

He had always reminded his mother not to show too much affection in front of his friends as he was now a big boy. But whenever he saw his mother, Alex could not stop himself from going straight to his mother.

A look of relief flashed on his face when Alex realized that Hazel was not going to mock him for the way he had reacted. Instead, the little girl walked over to their teacher and leaned her head on their teacher's body.

Alex did not know what happened, but recently, he had this feeling as if Hazel was looking at him strangely. This was not the first time that he had seen how his friend would walk over to their teacher and flashed him this strange look. But after looking at the same expression for weeks, Alex still could not figure out what was wrong. 

Alex stared at the girl in front of him and wondered if he had done anything to offend her. 

Of course, Alex was unaware that Hazel was showing off her close relationship with their teacher. Now that their teacher was seeing her uncle, Hazel had become closer to her than Alex. Sooner or later, when their teacher married her uncle, then they will definitely be a family. The wife of her biological uncle should be closer than a mother's friend.

"Hazel, are you tired?" Edith patted at the little girl's hair when the little girl suddenly leaned onto her. "Do you want to go inside and wait? Driver Tang should arrive soon to pick you up."

Hazel shook her head. "No. It's fine. I will accompany you here for a while longer."

"Alex, go and pick up your bag," Lily said. "I'll wait for you here."

Alex nodded obediently before he turned around to pick up his belongings. 

As the boy disappeared into the building, Lily turned to the little girl beside her friend and smiled.

Ever since Edith started dating the little girl's uncle, Lily began to notice that Hazel has been really sticky to her friend. She would either follow Edith behind or stick herself close to her as if she was afraid that Edith was going to disappear soon.

Looking at how the little girl acted, Lily thought that Hazel was such an adorable girl. Suddenly, she wanted to have a daughter that would stick to her as well. 

"Little Hazel, will you come over to my place with Teacher Qian this weekend?" Lily asked.

The little girl tilted her head sideways as she watched Alex's mother lowered to get to her height level.

"It will be Alex's birthday this weekend," Lily whispered. He said he is too big to have a birthday party and therefore he did not want me to invite the others. I thought that it would be sad if he had no one coming to celebrate his birthday with him. So, I'm inviting you to come over."

Hazel turned to Edith as if asking for her opinion. 

"Teacher Qian will definitely come, so you should come over too, alright?"

Hazel thought over it for a while and nodded. Since Teacher Qian was going, of course, she has to show up. 

Driver Tang showed up to pick up Hazel ten minutes after Alex and Lily left the kindergarten, Seeing that the student from her class were all picked up by their parents, Edith went back to her classroom, took out her phone, and texted Neil that she will be heading home after she had tidied up the classroom.

Back in MH Group headquarters, Neil Mo was having a discussion with one of the managers when the phone on his desk vibrated. Noticing the time, Neil raised a hand and asked the manager to pause while he returned the text message.

At the thought that his boss had received an important message, Manager Yan stood still and waited. However, a few seconds later, his eyes caught the sight of his boss's rare smile. His breath stuck in his throat. Manager Yan rubbed at his eyes and found that the smile was no longer there.

A helpless sigh escaped him as Manager Yan thought that perhaps he was too old that his eyes started to play tricks on him.

Neil placed the phone back on his desk and continued to discuss his work with Manager Yan with his usual cold countenance.

Meanwhile, Edith stared at the message from Neil and hesitated. 

It was rare that she got to leave the kindergarten early. Edith was planning to head home early and spend her time with Hazel, but her darling wanted her to come over to pick him up at work and head back home together.

After considering this matter for a few minutes, Edith gave a call to Nanny Ann and informed her that she will come back later with Neil. Then, Edith left the kindergarten and grabbed a cab to the company. She stopped over at a cafe across the street and bought some pastries.

Once she arrived at the lobby, Edith registered her name with the receptionist before she headed over to the elevator. 

The last time she had come, Assistant Shawn had helped her to make an access card that will allow her to use the elevator that will lead her to Neil's floor. Therefore, this time, Assistant Shawn doesn't have to come down and receive her.

Edith pressed the button and waited for the elevator to come down. Since this elevator only stopped by a few floors, Edith did not have to wait for too long for the elevator to arrive.

Just as Edith was about to enter the elevator, a voice called her out and suddenly, someone grabbed at her shoulder.

With her agile reflex, Edith quickly grabbed that person's wrist, pulled and twisted the arms, and turned around. Edith pulled the person's arms behind, causing the person to yelp in pain. Seeing that the person was dressed smartly in a suit and pants, Edith quickly let her go.

Autumn Feng massaged her painful shoulder and shot a dagger look at the person in front of her. "What did you do that for?"

"Sorry," Edith apologized. "I thought you had a bad intention towards me. Miss, it's not a wise decision to suddenly grab someone else's shoulder." After she finished her words, Edith realized that she had seen this woman before.

Wasn't this was the person that tried to talk to Hazel previously?

The frown on Autumn's face gradually disappeared when she saw Edith. "It's you. You're Hazel's nanny. Are you here to see President Mo? You need to have an access card or else, the elevator will not move."

"I know. I have them."

At this time, the guard who was sitting at the reception area walked over. "Manager Feng, this is President Mo's guest. She has her own access card to head over to President Mo's floor."

Autumn's expression changed when she finally noticed the card in Edith's hand.

Her father was one of the directors in MH Group, but even someone like her could not get access to the president's floor. How can a mere nanny have them?

"Miss Qian, the elevator is here. Earlier, Assistant Shawn had reminded us to let you go upstairs quickly as soon as you arrived." The guard smiled apologetically at Edith. "I have already informed Assistant Shawn that you are here.. He should be waiting for you upstairs."
