BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1117 - 405: Can I Know Why?
"... Ah?" Hazel was still having trouble wrapping her head around what Katherine was saying. The praise made her heart beat faster, and she was having trouble breathing.
All Hazel could think was how exciting it sounded and how much she wanted to say yes.
Katherine looked at her with a smile, she had seen Hazel's reaction and guessed the answer.
"I, I..." Before she could finish the sentence, there was a look of frustration on Hazel's face. Then the excitement faded from her face, she shook her head and said, "I can't do that…."
"Huh?" Katherine looked at her with surprise.
"I'm really glad that you speak so highly of me," Hazel said after taking a deep breath, "but I can't say yes."
"Why?" Katherine asked in amazement.
She was impressed by Hazel again. She felt that Hazel had such a fever of enthusiasm that she would definitely say yes, whatever the request was. Hence, it surprised her greatly that Hazel steadied herself so quickly.
"I do have a background in fighting, but I know myself and that my ability can be used to deal with ordinary people but not vicious criminals." Hazel finally said after a bit of hesitation, "Do you want me to join the army…because of Simon King? You want to train me to go undercover?"
"I did think about it..." Katherine sighed lightly. She didn't deny her thoughts, "You and he are close, but he is not enough for me to want you to join. What I value more is your qualifications, you have some very good qualities that would make you perfect for the army. Hazel, I hope you will seriously think twice…."
"General Sanchez, my answer will not change." Hazel shook her head. Then she said firmly, "I can't... No, not can't, I won't say yes."
"Can I know why?" Katherine asked regretfully, sensing that Hazel was serious.
"Because..." Hazel was a little shy. "I have someone I like and care about, and I don't want to cause him any problems."
With Simon's presence, Joshua was worried about her safety more than usual. She didn't want to put herself in any danger and make Joshua worry. How could she go undercover and give herself to Simon? What did that mean for Joshua? It would not be fair to him at all. What if the other party wasn't Simon?
"Plus, I have my own career. Even though I started it for fun, I like it very much and don't want to give it up…" Hazel hurried to add for fear that Katherine might think too much.
"I've heard some things about you from James," Katherine's eyes were deep as she tried to make a last-ditch effort. "Hazel, at your current age, you may have a beautiful fantasy about love, but it is not everything. You are passionately in love right now, so all you can see is each other. However, will it be the same in ten or twenty years? Why not try something interesting? It is much better for a woman to rely on herself than on others."
"You're right," Hazel agreed, nodding. "I agree with you, but I feel they are two different things. No matter what happens in ten or twenty years, I love him very much and want to be with him now. It is my hope and dream. If we love each other but have to distance ourselves from each other, would we regret it in the future?"
Katherine was dumbstruck by what she had said, and then she laughed despite herself. "Okay, you win. I really envy you kids, at your age, because you can be so crazy for things you like."
"I'm at a crazy age," Hazel chuckled and stuck out her tongue. "How boring it would be if I were lifeless at this age!"
Katherine laughed, it was an impulse to ask to meet with Hazel. She was curious about what kind of girl could attract Simon King, and she had no intention of trying to recruit her. Unfortunately, she wanted to train her, but Hazel wasn't interested, she was very impressed and interested in her.
"Well, I will forget it then. I'll introduce you to your bodyguard." There was a bit of admiration in Katherine's eyes. "She's my favorite student. I'll feel relieved with her protecting you."
Hazel looked at the door expectantly when she heard it open, a courageous-looking woman walked in.
"Crystal, this is Hazel, and you are responsible for keeping her safe in the future." Katherine introduced both of them, "Hazel, this is Crystal White."
Hazel quickly got up, and Crystal White looked a little dignified. After saying hello to Hazel, she didn't open her mouth anymore.
"Hazel," Katherine said, "Crystal is the kind of girl who is lifeless at your age."
Hazel felt embarrassed immediately, but Crystal looked expressionless.
Katherine continued with a chuckle. "I personally chose her to protect you because she is very strong, and I have a selfish reason. Hazel, I don't actually like girls who are too reserved. I hope you can influence her a bit so that she can also have the spirit and vitality she should have at your age."
Hazel smiled and nodded. Crystal's face flashed a little embarrassment but soon returned to normal.
Katherine thought for a bit before she carefully spoke to Crystal, "Crystal, you must be careful about protecting Hazel. You have to be close enough to protect her. Even if she goes to the bathroom, you should follow her. Remember, your opponent is the organization, so you can't be the least bit careless."
"Mmm," Crystal answered simply.
Hazel became serious, she understood that Katherine had dealt with the organization and that she was not exaggerating the danger. She knew that she would have to pay more attention in the future.
After thanking Katherine, Hazel and Crystal White left and drove to Denmark Residence in silence. They were pulling into the driveway when Hazel saw two cars parked side by side. Her pupils shrank, she recognized one that belonged to Sunny, and the other belonged to Fred.
Why would both of them be at Denmark Residence at the same time?
