Chapter 182: Cab ride in the night (1/2)

”You can come it,” Alex said when he heard the knock on the door.

Hannah opened the door and walked in. She was wearing a beautiful purple dress that matched her fair white skin and dark brown hair very well. She looked at Alex who was looking at the computer and frowned.

”Why aren't you dressed yet?” she asked.

”Dressed?” he quickly looked at the time and realized it was 7 pm. ”Is it time for us to leave already?” he asked.

”Yes! We need to leave in 15 minutes,” she said exasperated.

”Oh,” Alex immediately stood and closed his laptop. ”I will dress right now sister. Are we going to a fancy restaurant or a dinner party?” he asked.

”No, it's much better than that. Just dress well, you don't really have to look the absolute best,” she said and left him.

Alex looked through his old clothes and didn't find any that would be considered well enough for how Hannah was dressed. So he opened his bag of new clothes and chose a simple shirt, coat, and pants that looked sophisticated enough for whatever his sister was taking him to.

After getting dressed, he took his phone and left the room. Hannah was waiting for him in the living room and stood the moment he entered the room.

”Finally,” she said and looked at him. ”Oh, you look nice. You might just end up getting a girlfriend for yourself tonight,” she said.

Alex blushed a little and asked, ”Are we going somewhere where there will be a lot of girls my age?” he asked.

Hannah made an embarrassed smile and said, ”Not really. At least, I don't really know. Maybe there will be, but probably not. It's not a socializing place either so… sorry if I gave you any expectations.”

Alex chuckled a little and said, ”It's okay sister. I wasn't being serious. Should we go now?”

”Oh yes, let's go,” Hannah said as she took her bag and walked out of the house with Alex in tow. They went down the elevator and got into a cab a minute later.

Hannah gave an address to the driver, but Alex didn't know that many places in Oakleaf City, so he had no idea where this place was. He just looked outside the cab, enjoying the nightlife of the city.

After 15 minutes of the ride, they were still in the cab, and Alex was surprised by how far away this place was.

”Wouldn't it have been better to take the train, Sister? It looks like this place is quite far away,” he said.

”No. I looked up the map and the building is quite far away from any train station, so it's better that we took a cab,” she said.

”Where exactly are we going sister?” he asked.

”To Channel 8's station,” she answered finally.

”Channel… 8? Isn't that a news channel? Why are we going there?” he asked.

”Hehe, Your sister has been selected for an interview in tonight's 9 PM show,” she said.
