The Wine was Spiked

Worried that the boy would come over and pester his girlfriend again, Alex decided to keep her close with him. 

Since the moment he left Hazel's side to look for that potential investor, Alex had always kept his gaze on Hazel. He was watching her eating her food silently when the man had suddenly appeared.

Alex had recognized that man in an instant.

The last time he came to pick up Hazel before her winter break began, he had witnessed the same man confessed his love to Hazel. Back then, Hazel had rejected the man and he was not too happy about it.

Therefore, from the moment Alex saw that man, he could sense that he was trying to create trouble for Hazel.

"What are you thinking about?" Hazel asked when she saw that Alex was staring into space.
