Come on Daddy!

Oca did not soften. He insisted on his own way and ideas.

"Hazel, you know I am always strict about my work. I will do everything well before I work. And I can't bring my assistant to the wedding this time. So, I need to do everything by myself. I have to get ready for the meeting in this hour, you know." Hearing "you know" from Oca, Hazel had to restrain her temper.

"I know. I'm just trying to get some more time with you. Since you don't have time, I won't force you." Hazel knew what Oca's bottom line was. So, she could only give in, "Since you don't have anyone to help you, why don't I help you with the preparation for the meeting?"

"I think what you need most right now is to get some rest." Oca put his hands on her shoulders, "I can do these things myself."

"Okay then. You owe me one. Next time, you have to spend twice as much time with me." There were reluctance and tenderness in Hazel's eyes. She instructed him, "But don't work too hard, or I will feel distressed. Call me if you need anything. I'm at your disposal."

In fact, he didn't want to have a meeting so late. After all, there was a time difference between Country M and Country Z.

So, when he stayed in Country Z, he needed to work harder than usual.

"Okay." Oca nodded and agreed, "Then go in."

When Oca was unprepared, Hazel took advantage and suddenly approached him and kissed him on his cheek. Then, she quickly turned around and left.

Oca stood there and looked at the door she had hastily closed with dark eyes.

Oca returned to his room. He first went to the bathroom to wash his face and then dried it off.

He stared at himself in the mirror as he wiped his face, his eyes getting colder.

It was obvious that Hazel loved him. He knew all about her wanting the relationship to go further. But he didn't like too much intimacy with her.

He didn't know why he resisted.
