Chapter 409 - Mister Landlord's Breakfast

The sky had long turned bright when Hazel woke up. She sat up in a panic and grabbed her phone to check on the time. 

A long, soft breath escaped her when Hazel realized that it was the weekend and she did not have to show up at the company.

Her body fell back on the soft mattress behind her and her body curled lazily. Hazel took a long breath as she recalled that she had survived the first week of the internship. Although the work was hard, Hazel thought that she enjoyed learning something new from her seniors.

Last night, she had turned off the alarm, knowing that she could sleep in a little longer.  After working around eight hours for five days straight, her body was a little too tired and she was feeling lazy.

Hazel thought that she deserved a break after working hard.

Just as she was about to close her eyes and continue to sleep, her ears picked up a noise coming from the outside. Instantly, she grew alarmed at the thought that there was an intruder in her house.

Then, she recalled that she had let Alex hold her keys so that he could come and go to her apartment as he pleased. Hazel listened carefully and recognized that it was the sound of pots and pans in the kitchen.

After washing her face and make herself presentable, Hazel walked out of the room and found Alex standing in front of the stove, stirring something in the pot. 

As if noticing her presence, Alex turned around and flashed a smile. "Good morning. You're awake?"

Hazel walked over with slow, languid steps. She peeked into the pot, wrapped her arms around his waist, and leaned her head on his back. "Mister landlord, what are you doing here?"

Alex laughed when he heard the way Hazel had addressed him. "Making your breakfast." He turned around and pecked at her forehead. "Did you get enough sleep?"

"Hmm…" Her lips turned up. "My landlord comes over to prepare my breakfast. I guess the service at this apartment is pretty good."

"You cheeky girl." Alex turned to peck at her forehead. Though he wanted to pull her into his embrace, Alex decided to focus on his cooking lest he burned their breakfast. 

As Alex stood still in front of the stove, Hazel closed her eyes and buried her face on his broad back. 

The scent of him filled her nose, and Hazel felt sleepier. Hazel thought that she could probably sleep while leaning on to Alex's body like this. She had never thought that Alex's broad shoulder and the scent would give her a sense of security that she would instantly let her guard down whenever she was with him.

The feeling was quite nice…

"I bought you some egg tarts earlier. If you're hungry, you can eat a few pieces," Alex said. "The porridge will be done in a while."

Her eyes perked up upon hearing that Alex had bought some egg tarts. She quickly retracted her hands and walked over to the dining table. Seeing the box of egg tart on the table, Hazel was suddenly in a daze.

The brand printed on the box told her where Alex had bought them. 

It was from the pastry shop around her university area and it was quite popular. One had to queue early in the morning to buy them before they would be sold out. Previously, Hazel had brought Alex to the shop a few times and had mentioned that the shop's egg tart was probably one of the best egg tarts she ate.

The egg tart was not too sweet and the pastry was buttery and crumbly. It was a taste that she really liked.

"You went out early to buy them?"

"Mmm… I went out for a jog in the morning," Alex said. "Seeing that it was still too early, I decided to go and queue. Fortunately, I did not have to wait for too long."

Hazel did not think that Alex was telling her the truth. She had been to the shop many times, and there was never a moment where she did not have to wait for too long. Since Alex had told her that he did not have to wait so long, Hazel had no intention to say anything.

Her hand stretched to grab a piece and Hazel took a bite. The sweet and mellow taste of the egg tart filled her mouth and a soft sigh escaped her.

"Is it good?"

Hazel looked up and saw that Alex was carrying two bowls of porridge to the table. "It's good. It's perfect as always." She stretched her hand and offered the remaining half of her egg tart to him. "Do you want to take a bite?"

A playful look flashed in his eyes. Alex placed the bowls on the table and walked over. Just as Hazel had thought that the man was going to bite at the egg tart, the man inched closer and stared into her eyes intently. Then slowly, his gaze shifted to her lips before he came closer and kissed her.

Hazel was stunned and was unable to react. It took her to figure out what was happening and Hazel closed her eyes.

The kiss was soft and warm. Alex continued to kiss her leisurely as if savoring a sweet treat. Alex kissed her for a long time, tasting her lips until she became restless.

It was only then that he pulled away. 

Alex continued to look at the woman in front of him and his lips curled into a smile. "Well, it does taste good." His voice sounded a little deep and hoarse.

Hazel shrank back. Alex was too close that she could feel his breath tickling her neck. At this time, Hazel did not know whether he was talking about the egg tart of her lips. 

"Come on. Let's eat our breakfast."

"Oh." Hazel bit her lips, feeling his kiss lingering around. She sat down and picked up her cutlery absentmindedly.

"Be careful. The porridge is still hot."

Fortunately, Alex had reminded her about the porridge, or else, Hazel might scald her tongue. After blowing at the porridge a few times, Hazel at her breakfast and felt her stomach grew warmer.

Alex's craft had definitely got better.

"What are you planning to do today?"

Hearing his question, Hazel looked up to meet his gaze. She thought of her schedule and shook her head. "I don't have anything plan. I'm feeling lazy. Maybe I will just stay at home and laze around."

"Then, do you want to go out?" Alex asked. 

"Where do you want to go?"

Alex let out a chuckle.. "If you're not feeling too lazy, let's go on a date."
