Chapter 189: Blushing (1/2)
”Finally, it's over.” Alex took out his phone to look at the time and realized it was 10 pm. His stomach was starting to growl a little.
GRRR
He heard a stomach growl from his side too. He turned left to find Emily's face nearly red in the studio light from the embarrassment. He chuckled a little and said, ”You must be hungry as well. I haven't eaten anything since during the day.”
Emily chose to say nothing. A staff member came by hauling everyone out through the side door.
Alex met Hannah who was outside, along with the other 12 people.
”That went quite well, right?” Hannah asked.
”Yes. I can't believe you hid how good you were in the game. If not for the interview, I would've never known,” Alex said.
”Nah, I would've told you sometime soon. I can't keep it to myself at all,” Hannah said with a giggle.
”It's so late, we should return now,” Alex said.
”Let's get something to eat before we do,” Hannah said. ”Hey Sarah, you want to get something to eat before we leave?”
”Sure,” A voice came from the group. Alex was a little surprised because the person who had just spoken turned out to be Emily's friend.
”You guys are already familiar?” Alex asked.
”Kind of. She was in one of my classes a year ago. I noticed her in the waiting room but didn't remember her name, so I stayed quiet,” Hannah said with a chuckle.
”Yeah. I'm so hungry. Let's get some decent meal if the restaurants are even open at this time,” Sarah said as she walked towards Hannah and Alex. Emily was following her timidly among the group as well.
They went to a nearby diner, the only one that was open at this time of the night, and ordered some meals.
Hannah and Sarah started talking with each other, while Alex and Emily were just left there silently eating their food.
”So, is he your younger brother?” Sarah asked.
”He is my cousin. He is in the first year of university and is staying with me right now,” Hannah said.
”Oh, Oakleaf University?” Sarah asked.
”Yes.”
”Emily here started studying at Oakleaf University too. She is in the 2nd semester of the first year,” Sarah said.
”Oh, Alex is joined just a month ago, so he is only in the 1st semester,” Hannah replied.
They talked a bit more and finished eating. They left the diner and Hannah started looking for cabs to return back home.
”Since we are going the same way, why don't you two come with us?” Sarah asked.
”With you guys? Sure. Are we sharing a cab?” Hannah asked.
”Oh god no. I brought my own car,” Sarah said.
