Hazel tilted her head to one side. "Why can't I be here?"

Carina swept her gaze around the office and saw that the staff was not around. A front appeared on her face. "Did you sneak into the office?"

"Miss Lin, you are a funny woman," Hazel let out a laugh. "The security in this building is quite tight. How do you think I can sneak in? Obviously, someone allowed me to be here."

Her hands clenched into fists, knowing that Hazel was telling the truth. One of the reasons that Alex and Daniel chose this office space was because of its safety. Not anyone could enter the building. Unless if they had a special pass or if they were invited by the tenant upstairs, the security will not allow just anyone to enter.

Carina was allowed to enter the building after she had registered her information at security. Then, the security had to confirm with Daniel that she had an appointment with him before she was given the pass and was allowed to enter the building.

However, when Carina saw Hazel's appearance at the office, she was very unhappy. 

Just a few days ago, Daniel had warned her not to cause any trouble or else they were going to fire her as their lawyer and used someone else instead. 

When Alex and Daniel decided to use her service as their lawyer, the law firm had given her a lot of raise. If she had suddenly lost this important client, how would she face her colleague?

However, at this time, there was no one around. Even if she said something to the woman before her, no one would know. The last time they ran into each other at the restaurant, Carina had seen the way Hazel interacted with Alex.

Looking at her indifferent expression at that time, Carina was very sure that Hazel did not have a feeling towards Alex. 

Hazel continued to look at Carina's changing expression and thought that it was a little amusing. "You… like Alex." 

Carina's expression turned awkward. However, that expression quickly disappeared. "Yes. I like him. Since you're not his girlfriend yet, who said that I won't have a chance to be with him?" She took a step closer. "Miss Mo, since you're not interested in Alex, why don't you just back off?"

"Who said that I am not interested?" Hazel flashed her a playful smile. "If I'm not interested, why would I show up here?"

The woman's expression turned unhappy. She gave Hazel a look over and saw that the outfit on Hazel's body was nothing expensive. A thought crossed her mind and Carina let out a scoff. "I have seen a few girls like you when I was in university. A girl like you isn't suitable for Alex at all."

Hazel did not care for her mocking, but she did not miss that little information. "You and Alex… you went to the same university?"

"That's right." There was a look of arrogance on her face as Carina thought of how she had known Alex longer than Hazel. "We went to the same university and I have known him for years."

Hazel was suddenly curious at how Alex was during his years in university. 

The two of them always went to the same school. It was only after Alex had entered university that the two of them were no longer together. Hazel could not deny that she grew a little restless the first month that she couldn't see him. Fortunately, they were still able to talk through phones and meet during their holidays. 

It seemed that from then on, Alex had grown up. Every time she met him again, the man seemed to grow a little taller.

"Miss Mo, don't get your hopes up high. Alex might seem as if he is interested in you now, but I'm sure that it will not last too long," Carina said. "Once he learned of your intention to get close to him, he will only hate you."

Hazel snapped out of her trance. "You think I have an intention to get close to Alex?"

"Don't you?" Carina's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"Then, what do you think is my intention of getting close to him?"

Carina scanned the clothing on Hazel's body again. "You know that he's from a wealthy family in L City. You only got close to him for his money. Don't try to pretend otherwise."

Hazel thought that this should be one of the funniest jokes she heard. 

Even though Alex came from a wealthy family, the He's family money could not be compared to the Mo's. 

Moreover… after her uncle had given her her parents had left behind, Hazel had turned into a rich lady. If one added the amount of money she received from MH Group every month, Hazel could live her life doing nothing at all and still able to feed her family for a few generations.

From the way Carina was looking at her in contempt, Hazel knew that the woman was looking down at her just because of the way she had dressed. From the beginning she entered university, Hazel has always kept a very low profile.

Unlike in the school that she attended, there will be a lot of students coming from different social classes. Showing off will only make things a little troublesome for her as she might run into people who wanted to be friends with her for other benefits.

This was what her Auntie Edith had said to her when she entered university.

Until now, there were not many people who knew that she's Hazel Mo of MH Group.

"Miss Lin, are you sure you are not talking about yourself?" Hazel asked. "The reason you liked Alex, wasn't it because of his money as well?"

The room turned silent as Carina was unable to respond. Carina's face turned a little red, as she was not expecting Hazel to return her accusation. However, she was not willing to admit that initially, that was the reason why she was attracted to Alex.

Suddenly, the two of them heard a voice coming from a direction and saw that the group of employees had come out of the meeting room. As Carina was someone who would frequently come over to the company, the employee had recognized her and exchanged their greetings.

"Hazel?"

The two women shifted their gaze upon hearing the voice. The employees parted to make ways and Alex appeared. The moment Alex saw that Carina was around, his expression turned darker.

"Alex!" Carina went forward to him, but her movement halted as someone had moved faster than her. Seeing the way Hazel had linked her arms with Alex's Carina became unhappy. However, under the employee's eyes, she could only behave herself.

"Sorry to let you wait. Are you bored?" 

"It's fine." Hazel flashed him a smile. "Miss Lin accompanied me for a chat, so I wasn't that bored."

Alex narrowed his eyes dangerously at Carina, but that look disappeared when he looked at Hazel again. "What were you two chatting about?"

"Just something about my boyfriend's years in university."

A glint flashed in his eyes upon hearing her words. Alex was very sure that his mind was not playing tricks on him. Just now... when Hazel mentioned her boyfriend, she was obviously talking about him, right?

Before Alex could question Hazel about it, the woman had already looked away, avoiding his gaze.

"I'm hungry.." Hazel tugged at his arm. "If you're done with your work, let's go out and have something to eat, alright?"
