In a few days, Alex brought Hazel to accompany him to a banquet.
Hazel had shown up at his apartment in the afternoon to tidy up the new unit. Then, in the evening, Hazel walked out of her apartment in a rose gold tulle evening dress. The skirt glittered under the light and Alex finds a hard time trying to look away from her.
"What are you staring at me for?" Hazel nudged at his waist.
Alex let out a cough and finally snapped out of his trance. A warm smile curled on his lips. "You're beautiful."
Her cheek turned a shade pink with the way Alex was staring at her. Hazel gave him a look over and said, "Well, you look handsome as well." She bit at lips to suppress her smile and tugged at his hand. "Let's go. Or we'll be late."
He offered his hand and soon, the couple walked together to the elevator and headed to the hotel.
