“However, since the theme of our competition is to increase sales by 10 percent in three months, your method of enlarging spoons may not be very effective.”
Being afraid she might misunderstand him, he hastened to explain, “I’m not saying your method is bad, but it has to take time to show its value. If you just have an idea, your sight is a little narrow, and it’ll be very difficult for you to beat me.”
Hazel chuckled. Chris was so proud that when he reminded her, he couldn’t help saying something bad to her.
“Thanks for the reminder,” she said quietly. “But rest assured, I have other methods to solve these problems.”
Chris’s gaze changed at once. Did it turn out she still had other means? His worri
“Do you mean Mandy?” Hazel was in a daze and told Joshua all about how she met Mandy.She continued, “… I think she was repeatedly bullied because of me, so I wanted to help her... In fact, she is quite capable and kind. She helped me a lot this time. Besides, she is more careful than I am. She also took all the materials home with her just now so that she didn’t have to worry other people would do something bad, such as stealing my plan…”Joshua pressed his thin lips slightly as his eyes flashed with dim light. “Don’t you think there’s something strange about her emergence?”“Strange?” She frowned in astonishment and looked at Joshua in surprise. “Are you doubting something? Because she used to be Susan’s assistant, do you t
Chris suddenly felt that Hazel’s voice was harsh because he felt very uncomfortable when she kept praising Joshua, but Chris felt even gloomier and unhappy when he replied.Joshua smiled as he looked calmly at Hazel and said quietly, “You have asked me that question, my silly girl. I can’t help loving you.”Chris felt as if he had been thrust into a pot full of honey, which was so nauseating that he almost vomited.Hazel’s cheeks blushed in the blink of an eye. Thankfully it was dark now, and she wouldn’t be seen. Joshua really should be more thoughtful. How could he sweet talk to her in front of a stranger? He was getting really more and more shameless.“Fix it quickly! “Hazel flushed and urged him.
“I’m very glad this plan created such a heated discussion,” Hazel said quietly. “Now, let me answer your questions. Ask whatever you want.”The executives looked at each other, and eventually, Chris stood up. Although he still had a little dislike for Hazel, he was very interested in her great idea.“We have the following main problems.” He asked, “The web drama has really been very popular lately, but can these product placements and the subsequent coffee series really attract new customers effectively? And can our limited funding pay for advertising in the drama?”“You can look at a few pictures, and this is the research I did in the last three days.” She said simply, and Mandy put pictures on the screen.
A sudden joy came over Chris since Hazel wasn’t married and wasn’t someone’s mistress. Did that mean… she was single?But at the thought of that night, when Hazel and Joshua kissed each other, the joy in his heart seemed to vanish like a bubble that had been pricked.Even if... she wasn’t his mistress or married, but they were so intimate, maybe she was his girlfriend?Chris’s face suddenly turned a little paler. She had nothing to do with him. Why did he care so much whether or not Hazel was another man’s girlfriend?“Director Livingston?” Hazel looked at him curiously. “What are you thinking about? So, lost in thought?”“No, nothing…” He l
Hazel was worried about the sales of the coffee. The advertisement had been added to the new episode of the online TV drama. Mathew had so much experience that he made the advertisements subtle in the drama. They were very eye-catching but not enough to make people feel uncomfortable.Some viewers noticed the advertisements immediately and started to congratulate them on finally getting investment in a teasing way.Seeing the effect was not bad, Hazel was also relieved. She began to reinforce the marketing and easily made the topic of coffee and online drama become popular. She made them well-known to the viewers.Many people began to show off their coffee the same as the heroine, which triggered a small peak in coffee sales. And people even in remote areas complained that the coffee was sold out.
Chris suddenly lowered his head disappointedly. Although Hazel was praising him, the praises were only an evaluation of his work from his boss. What he wanted to hear was something personal that had nothing to do with the work.The person who asked the question was also anxious. In fact, most of them could read Chris’s mind and cooperate with him when he suggested the party. They were trying to help him by asking questions."Manager Crowe, I am asking about Chris" the man continued to smile and asked, "Don’t you think that our director is very handsome? And he is successful too!""Yes," Hazel didn't think much of it, she just smiled and nodded. "You are right."Everyone thought that Chris had a chance with Hazel, she had not rejected him. They all started pra
Everyone felt worried. They looked at Joshua with fear, they all thought he was terrible. Just judging from Hazel's simple sentence, he inferred the truth, and then he just blurted it out loud. Did he want to make Chris feel embarrassed?Seeing that he and Chris were sitting next to each other, although Chris was talented and handsome, he seemed to be a dumb nerd when compared to Joshua. However, Joshua was as noble and had the personality of a prince.Noticing the contrast, everyone suddenly felt more sympathy for Chris. No wonder Hazel chose Joshua. If they were here, they would definitely have chosen him too."Oh, so it is," Hazel was stunned. "Then I understood why everyone suddenly praised the director."Joshua didn’t show any facial expression. He said calmly
Hazel was confused, "Why are you asking me that?”"You haven't said it for a long time, and I want to hear it." He said in a low voice. "Said it, do you like me?""Yes…" Hazel said shyly."Just like?" Joshua was offended.Under the faint streetlight, his eyes seemed to be covered by a soft light. Just looking at them made Hazel feel excited, but she also felt that she had stopped thinking.She said almost without hesitating, "I like you very much..."Joshua smiled lightly and kissed her lips gently. Hazel suddenly reached out her finger and put them on his lips."Why do you just want me to say it? What about you?" Hazel sp
