Chapter 24: Chapter 23

'Are you shifting elsewhere?' a voice asked as Hazel exited her apartment. She turned to find Mrs. Hugh, a middle-aged woman, living next door, walk out of her apartment with two huge garbage bags.

'Yes Mrs. Hugh, I am actually moving closer to my office' Hazel answered locking her apartment.

'How did you know, Mrs. Hugh?' Hazel asked placing the keys inside her handbag.

'Well I noticed that there was so much shifting going on the previous night' Mrs. Hugh answered walking towards her.

'Oh that was Chris, he arranged all that' Hazel answered smiling.

'Is he your boyfriend? Are you moving in with him?' Mrs. Hugh asked beaming.

'No, he's just...just a friend… anyways I have to get going I have to unpack and stuff' Hazel said turning away from her as her face slightly turned crimson red.

'Okk…' Mrs. Hugh laughed silently seeing Hazel's face.

'What about Ava, dear?' Mrs. Hugh asked before Hazel could walk away.
