Remembering that Hazel wanted to return to her dorm earlier to do her revision for tomorrow's class, Alex decided to send her back after dinner.

Hazel thought that Alex would take her to walk around after dinner and was a little regretful that she had told him such lies. In the end, their meeting was cut short and they have to part again.

Alex pulled over his vehicle at a spot and turned to Hazel, who was looking at something on her phone. "We're here."

Hazel lifted her head and saw her dorm building in front of her. She heard Alex opened his door to alight before he went over to her side and helped her with her door. After she stepped out of the vehicle, Hazel patted at her skirt softly, trying to flatten the crease on them. She looked up again and saw the hesitation on his face. "What's wrong? Why are you making that face?"

A sigh escaped. "What am I going to do? Time flies so fast and I am not willing to part with you."

Hazel chuckled upon hearing his words. Recently, she found that Alex was getting better at speaking sweet words.

"Did you say these words to everyone?" Hazel teased.

"If everyone is Hazel Mo, then I will say these words frequently."

Seeing the serious look on his face, Hazel could not help but laugh. "Such sweet-talker."

Alex took a deep breath and smiled. "Go in. I will text you once I arrived at my apartment."

"Alright."

"Study well."

"I know."

"Don't forget to think of me and my suggestion whenever you're free."

"I will." A soft smile curled on her lips. Hazel thought that even if she did not want to think of Alex, the man would sometimes pop up in her mind, reminding her to think of his suggestion properly.

Alex pursed his lips into a thin line as it seemed that he had run out of things to say. He moved slightly to give her room and leave. "Alright. I won't take your time anymore."

Hazel took a few steps forward and stopped. When she turned around, Alex was still watching her. The smile on her face widened upon seeing the expression on his face that was beginning to look like a lost puppy.

A thought crossed her mind and Hazel took out her phone. After checking the information she wanted to find, Hazel looked at Alex again. "Are you free on Saturday, eleventh?"

His mind whirled as he tried to think of his schedule and wondered if it was a special day. "I'm free." Even if he was not free, he would make time for Hazel.

"Good. Then, let's go and play at the amusement park, alright?"

His expression turned slightly bright at the thought that Hazel was taking the initiative to ask him out on a date. "Alright."

Hazel clenched the phone in her hand a little tighter. Her cheek was a little red, but fortunately, Alex would not notice them under the night sky. "Then… I will give you the answer on that day."

A glint appeared on his eyes when Alex realized that the one-month duration would end on the eleventh. Before he was able to react well, the woman had already turned around and walked over to her dorm. 

Alex continued to stand at the spot as he wanted to watch her enter the building. Just before her figure disappeared behind the wall, Hazel turned around and waved at him.

A chuckle escaped him as he thought of how adorable that girl is. Suddenly, Alex was anticipating the day to come. He had a feeling that Hazel would not let him down with her answer.

After he had calmed down a little bit, Alex slid behind the wheels and reached for his phone at the side. He recalled that he had snapped a few photos of Hazel earlier and had wanted to set them as his wallpapers. 

However, the little smile on his face gradually disappeared the moment he saw the text messages. After composing a reply, Alex put the keys in the ignition and drive off. 

Once he arrived at his apartment building, Alex saw that his friend, Daniel was waiting for him at the lounge. He walked over to his direction and Daniel lifted his head upon hearing the sound of his footsteps.

"Alex!" Daniel stood up immediately. "I'm sorry. I did not expect that she would come over and try to disturb you on your date. Miss Lin said that she had something important to discuss with you."

"Even so, I am not happy when someone disturbs me during my private time. This is not working hours and I am merely an investor and advisor to your company, Daniel. I told you from the very beginning that you will be the one who will make a decision."

"Sorry." Daniel lowered his head. "You know that I am lacking confidence in managing the company. I just thought… that if you were around during any negotiation, everything will be alright."

Alex took a deep breath to calm down. "You need to build that confidence fast. I trust that you will do well and decided to invest in this company. Why can't you have a little more trust in yourself?"

His expression grew warm upon hearing Alex's words. They became friends in college and Alex would often tell him that he always had good ideas and would become a good leader if he had a little more confidence.

"I won't be staying in B City forever," Alex reminded him. "After a year, I will leave and return to L City."

"I know. I remember." Daniel nodded. There was silence between them. Daniel peeked at Alex's face and recalled his date earlier. "That woman earlier… Miss Mo… is she the woman you often mentioned previously?"

The two were friends in college and Daniel had witnessed a few girls trying to hit on him, but the man would never give them any chance. Later, they had asked him why Alex was never interested in those girls and Alex told them that he had someone he liked. Later, Alex would sometimes mention his childhood sweetheart whenever he was in a good mood.

Hazel's gentle face appeared on his mind and his expression grew lighter. "Hmm…" He then recalled the thing that Carina tried to pull and decided to give Daniel a little warning. "Previously, I had agreed to hire Miss Lin as our lawyer as she was someone from the same college, but Daniel, I don't like how she would always show up around me."

"Sorry. Miss Lin asked for my help and I couldn't find a reason to reject her," Daniel said. "I didn't know that your childhood sweetheart would be in B City as well."

"If Miss Lin continued to pester me, then I would suggest you work with a new lawyer instead," Alex said. "You can tell those words to Miss Lin."

"I know."

Alex heaved a sigh. "It's getting late.. Go back to your place and have a rest. Tomorrow, don't you still have an important business meeting with a client?"
