Diligently

"You! What are you doing here? How did you know my address?!" Hazel was really shocked by the enticingly handsome man who suddenly showed up near her house gate.

After this man occupied all his mind last night, she really wanted to have some break. But here he is, suddenly show up before her out of nowhere!

Aiden laughed at her surprised reaction. His carefree behavior seemed to be returned and Hazel didn't fail to notice it.

"Just like how I know your favourite foods." Aiden hinted. He stared at Hazel with a devilish smile.

Before he went to Hazel's house, he fight against himself so much. He was embarrassed to meet her after what happened last night; but he wanted to make up as soon as possible. So he came to meet her right away.

Hazel sigh. It was Marcus again. Her brother won't stop rooting for this man! But how can he simply give her address to Aiden?!

"You look okay than yesterday." Hazel calmly said. She didn't want to fight with him. It's so childish! Let bygones be bygones. There's no use in getting angry about what's already done. Her revenge is one example!

"It's all thanks to you, Hazel." Aiden replied with a bright smile. She talked to him in a calm way just like yesterday and he really love it! "I come here to drive you to work. You even left your car because of me; so I think I could make it up to you by doing this." He added.

"Okay. Let's go." Hazel simply agreed which caught Aiden off guard. Maybe he didn't think he would convince her easily. But he soon clear his mind and open the door of the car for her.

"If you can make time for me tonight, I'll tell you my story and...about yesterday." Aiden said as he drives the car. His gaze shifted from the road to Hazel continuously. "I said yesterday that I would tell you later. Isn't it?"

"Yes. I'll check my schedule and let you know." Hazel stared at him. "But aren't you a writer? How come you have so much free time?" She bluntly asked him. But to Aiden, it more seems like she was teasing him!

"You know..." He cleared his throat. "My latest book was published recently. So I'm taking a break for now. But don't mistook me. I still earn a lot even as we talk now." He explained.

Did he afraid that she would depreciate him? Maybe he did. She was such a wealthy and successful businesswoman. So he was afraid that she would belittle an author like him!

But Hazel's reaction was far from his expectation. She looked at him and burst out into a laughter. "You're funny when you talk that way. Why do you look so awkward?" She said as she laughed at him.

The red traffic light was on and Aiden stopped the car. He tilted his head and stared at her in a loving gaze. "I don't know but I knows one thing for sure. My wish just came true."

Hazel suddenly realize Aiden's wish. "That's good then. It means I keep my promise too. As you know, I promised to grant you a wish." She told him. "Will you stop staring at me and start driving?" She pointed at the traffic light. "Look, it's already green. If you didn't drive diligently, then I won't let you drive for me anymore." She blurted out.

Even herself knows that she's blurting out nonsense! But what will she do? That's the only thing that comes to her mind as his nonstop staring made her feel anxious!

Hazel went to work with a light heart which is very unusual for her. But as soon as she reached her office, her personal secretary told her that the Vice Chairman of KL Group was waiting for her to meet her, which kills all her light mood!

"Where is he now?" Hazel asked right away. She didn't want to cross paths with him for now. She didn't know how it would effect her mentally!

After that incident at the cliff, Hazel was never mentally stable! Even after many months, she would have a panic attack whenever she saw Xander Yang on a television! But now she's free from that after what she called 'endless suffering and determination.'

But meeting him in real life may be another thing. She prepared herself mentally for the past years; but what if she panic as she saw him?! It would bring suspicions. Xander Yang is not a fool!

"I led him to the VIP waiting room on the ground floor." Cora Min answered him.

Hazel heave a sigh of relief. 'Xander Yang, you can't even wait for one week. But I waited for six years! You should be more patient than this.' She thought to herself.

"Tell them that they should wait till next week. As I already said before, I won't accept any meetings until then." She said trying her best to stay calm. She didn't want to lose her cool, especially before her employees!

"Yes, ma'am." The secretary answered and immediately leave to fulfill her order.

As soon as Cora Min leave, Hazel hurriedly grabbed her purse and take out the pills which she used to calm down herself! She grabbed one and swallowed it right away. It was prescribed to her by her family doctor. It would help her deal with her panic attack which always makes her suffer mentally in an enormous way!

She already took those pills for more than five years! She wondered will she ever be able to live a normal life like others? A life without those pills is what she always wishes!

While she was wondering these things, Xander Yang was fuming with anger on the ground floor. The new CEO refused to meet him not for once, but twice!

He leave the company building with anger. He won't let this humiliation pass easily!.....
