Chapter 13: SUDDEN ENCOUNTER
Hazel just made a call to Ranon, so she only needed to wait for the staff to settle her in a private room that Ranon arranged for her.
While waiting, Hazel looked around. This place hadn't changed at all since the last time she was here a year ago with Arlo.
They promised to come back again, but their busy schedules were in the way, and at this point, it had become a promise that would never be fulfilled.
However, when Hazel was sitting on the sofa, keeping herself busy with the laptop on her lap, she caught sight of a couple who had just entered the restaurant. The laptop on her lap slipped, and it crashed against the floor, causing a loud noise that attracted people's attention.
"Are you alright, Miss?" One of the staff approached her and looked concerned.
"Oh, yes. I am fine. No problem." Hazel waved her hand and tucked her hair behind her ears; she touched her nape and smiled at the staff.
This gesture caught Arlo's attention. He remembered that habit really well. Like he said, he found a joy in discovering little things about her; well, of course, this habit wouldn't go unnoticed.
That was right; the couple that just entered the restaurant was none other than Arlo and Aubrey, coming hand in hand.
Hazel cursed herself for losing her composure, but she didn't expect to see them here. Aspen City was three cities away from here; why would they be here?!
Hazel was caught off guard; she was ready to face these two imbeciles and exact her revenge, but this encounter was out of her calculation. This was an unexpected variable.
"What are you looking at?" Aubrey pursed her lips when she saw Arlo paying attention to a clumsy girl who just dropped her laptop because she was mesmerized by Arlo. Of course, Aubrey could see that. "No need to look at her." She tugged his hand to walk away from there.
