“Oh?” Joshua, with a slightly raised brow and a playful smile, moved closer to Hazel.
She stepped back, but the wardrobe was behind her. She had no escape.
He placed one hand on the wardrobe behind her and raised her chin with another hand. “Since you are a self-taught talent, then what about taking some time to probe with me, taking ‘long’ to fill ‘space’ and having a ‘deep’ understanding with each other?”
“You, you… rascal!” Her face turned red like a sunset glow instantly.
How could Joshua say something so ambiguous with a poker face?
He looked like a gentleman, but what he did was like a rascal, she definitely saw the combination of the two whe
“Be careful! You are an adult now, why are you still so careless?” Ronald said with criticism on the other end of the phone.“Mmm…” Hazel unconsciously said.She was really going crazy after Joshua unexpectedly attacked her while she was on the phone with Ronald. She had to endure it, though, or else Ronald would figure out something more was happening.“Brother, I am a little tired. I want to go to sleep early,” she said quickly.“Why are you going to bed so early?” There was a surprise in Ronald’s voice. “Don’t you always stay up late? Don’t you especially like to do that?”“I’m tired because I took the bus today,” she whi
“Well, I trust you. “Hazel nodded, feeling drowsy again.Although she still had a little uncertainty, she did not continue to ask.Joshua’s eyes were full of pity. He gently put his arm around her and pulled her to his chest. “You can have a short nap. I’ll wake you up when we reach our destination.”“Okay.” She obediently closed her eyes.The car moved smoothly, and she soon fell asleep.Looking at her sweet sleeping face, he could not help laughing bitterly. “Silly girl, you trust me too much.”When the car stopped, Hazel was still asleep. Listening to her steady breathing, Joshua was reluctant to wake her up, so he dec
Putting down the phone, Joshua ran after Hazel. She realized he would try to get her back, so she struggled to get to the shore as quickly as she could.But before she could climb up, Joshua reached her, she screamed as he grabbed her by the waist and pulled her back into the hot spring again.She couldn’t escape, so she turned around quickly and looked into his deep eyes. They were full of flaming desire. Her heart was pounding. It was too late for her to apologize now.“Girl, how dare you play with fire, eh?” he asked in a deep voice.“I dare not...” The atmosphere was way too intense, she became a wuss.Then she said timidly, “Joshua, is it too late for me to admit my mistake?”
The holidays passed quickly, and Joshua was disappointed that his relationship with Hazel had not advanced to the next level.Fortunately, their relationship had improved and became stable. He could feel Hazel’s attachment to him.After breakfast, Hazel was about to leave to get her bus at the nearby stop.“Wait.” Joshua stopped her.He reminded her helplessly, “Hazel, did you forget you had a car?”It was because Hazel wasn’t willing to get in his car, and he couldn’t stand the thought of her taking a crowded bus that he found a way to give her a car.Hazel was in a daze, she really forgot about it.
Vanessa was so irritated she wanted to reach across the table and throttle Hazel. She was giddy with anger, Hazel was not thinking the way Vanessa had expected.She had thought Hazel wasn’t out of college yet and was a stupid woman who only knew about love. However, she was more complicated than that.What she had planned to say was all messed up by Hazel, and she was so angry that she didn’t know how to continue. But thankfully, Hazel did remind her about the check she prepared.Vanessa put her hand on her handbag and was about to take out the check when Hazel said to her as if she was consulted, “But if it’s a check, it’s at least a seven-figure sum, right? Joshua is very generous, and his girlfriend’s position is worth such an amount. If it’s less than eight-figure, it&rs
Vanessa was completely confused. Why was Hazel able to say these words so convincingly? Wasn’t she with Joshua for his money?“Then Joshua will lose nothing!” Vanessa bellowed.“Let it be. Why do you look more anxious than I am?” Hazel looked at her, puzzled.“Don’t you really care?!” Vanessa was even more irritated.“Of course, I do,” Hazel says with a bland face. “But given your temper, even if I leave him, you’ll continue to threaten him with the Denmark family’s daughter. In that case, I must stay by his side until he really loses everything, but at least he will have me!”Vanessa was trembling with anger. She was pretty sure now that Haze
Joshua was very quick and tough, and by the time Vanessa received the message, she had no choice but to listen.It was a small city that Joshua arranged for her to go to and she wouldn’t have any real power, so it was natural that she didn’t want to go to.But even if Joshua had arranged any other city for her, Vanessa wouldn’t be willing to go. Joshua just found a random reason to make her leave the imperial capital.Joshua was in a meeting, he would always bring Hazel to meetings, letting her sit in and listen. Although Hazel didn’t understand what they were saying most of the time, she still went and pretended to be interested, but she was always sleepy sitting there.Fortunately, Hazel was his secretary, and everyone thought she was here to ta
“Let me go!” Vanessa cried angrily. The bodyguards kept a hold of Vanessa and did not let her go until they reached the elevator.She was still attempting to go back to the board room, but the two bodyguards kept standing in the corridor that led to the room, so she had no chance at all.“Miss Young, I advise you to go to the branch office.” Jaxson came out and calmly advised her.“I’m not going!” Vanessa said, rude and unreasonable.Jaxson sighed helplessly. “In this case, Miss Young, you’re fired. Please go to the personnel department to go through the formalities.”“What, what?” Vanessa looked at him in disbelief.
