A Lifetime With You

But in a room was full of people, no one seemed to pay attention to her. --- "Grandma, I don't want to live away from my daddy and mommy... I know that I won't get to see them again... What if I miss them?" her words were a bit incoherent as she forced back her sobs. Seeing the little girl, he felt something tugged on his heart. "Hazel," Neil spoke after a while. "If you don't want to live in the countryside with grandma, then would you like to live with me?" --- After losing his younger brother in an accident, the President of the MH group, Neil Mo, decided to look after his five years old niece. Who knew that looking after a child could be difficult than securing a business deal!

"But, President Mo, what do you mean by living together?" --- Cover illustration: Kirinlukis --- Author Note: This story is written to participate in WPC, with 'single parent' as the theme.

Dark, Cold, Empty House

Aaron Li pulled over his car at the side road and craned his neck to look at the luxurious condo in front of him. "This place looks expensive." He turned at Edith and raised a brow. "Are you sure you have a friend who is staying here?" 

Edith rolled her eyes. "What's wrong? You don't think that I can have a wealthy friend?"

It was late and Edith did not want to go back and forth from her apartment in A City to Neil's place just to dupe Aaron. In the end, she came up with an excuse that she was staying at the condo for a few days to accompany a friend.

"I didn't say that." He paused. "How about introducing me to this friend?"

"It's late. Why do you want to disturb my friend? At this time, she might be sleeping." Edith rubbed at her head. Trying to come up with a lie was giving her a headache.
