Choosing Gift

Hazel was still in a little muddle-headed after meeting her uncle at Alex's office. She was still unable to process that she had run into her uncle until Alex appeared at her side.

"Alex, what did you and my uncle talk about?" Hazel asked.

"You." Alex bopped at her nose.

Her eyes grew wide at his answer. "What did my uncle say to you?" Hazel took a step back to give Alex a look over. Although her uncle has always been a gentle person, at this time, Hazel was worried that he had come to beat Alex because of her.

Alex thought of an appropriate reason. "He heard about that incident in B City. He came to thank me for helping you up to find that instigator."

"Oh." Hazel was certainly not expecting her uncle to find out about that incident.
