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.
Hazel was curious. Isaac had always been sarcastic and rarely showed such obvious disgust for anyone. But she did not ask him, although she was curious.Isaac took them to his grandfather’s room. Grandpa Anderson was sitting in his wheelchair. Despite his gray hair, he looked hale and hearty. There was smart light in his eyes.“Grandpa.” Isaac came to him. “Joshua is here.”“Ha ha ha, Joshua, I said you should be here at this point.” Grandpa Anderson smiled and nodded to Joshua, his face full of kindness. But as he glanced over Hazel next to him, he was caught off guard. “Who is she?”“This is my future girlfriend!” Isaac said, half-jokingly, “Well, grandpa, is Hazel all right?”
Hazel was feeling very helpless.Vanessa grew up with Isaac and the others, it was completely normal for her to be present at Grandpa Anderson’s birthday party. However, Hazel still thought Vanessa was very disturbed.She would feel uncomfortable every time she saw Vanessa as if Vanessa was deliberately targeting her.At the beginning of the banquet, people began to wish Grandpa Anderson a happy birthday. Sam accompanied him and handled it with ease.Joshua brought two drinks and handed them to Hazel.“Isn’t... Isn’t it wine?” Hazel asked anxiously.She had made several jokes in front of Joshua, and now she would be scared almost every time she saw wi
“I don’t know, either…” she answered instinctively. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to get rid of them, but the women kept following right behind her.“How could you not know? Aren’t you the cousin of Mr. Denmark?”“Yeah, and Mr. Denmark is willing to take you with him as his companion. You must have a great relationship!”****Hazel had a headache and frustration watching these ladies persevering.“Sorry, I’m going to the bathroom.” Hazel was forced to make an excuse and ran off to the bathroom. Hazel let out a deep sigh of relief when she closed the door behind her. The ladies were so annoying
