THE ENTRANCE EXAM

She barely had a chance to talk to him. Mateo was right, Alex was busy with company work. 

There were times he didn't come home. Just like an obedient girl, Sakura listened to Mateo and didn't bother Alex.

After Mateo started taking care of her, Sakura and Alex became more distant.

'Maybe this is for the best. Why do I want to be with him more when I know he has someone else in his heart?'

Sakura sighed wondering that.

"Wo! That's a long sigh. Are you depressed or something?" Lucas commented.

"Huh? No such thing," Sakura quickly denied. Her eyes were fixed on the bowl.

Alex's eyes swept over her before focusing on his meal.

"..." Mateo first looked at Sakura and then Alex. Then, he massaged his temples. His head hurt.

After breakfast, Sakura gathered some courage and went to Mateo who was getting ready to head out.

"Mateo…" she softly called out.

Mateo fixed his eyes and then turned to face her.
