"Thank you..." Hazel sat in the passenger seat, watching the passing scenery outside the window. After thinking for a while, she thanked him, "for coming to pick me up."
There were several cars belonging to him Rose villa, but she had never driven any of them because she was afraid that he would accuse her of touching his things without his permission. Taking a taxi to the party today didn't seem like a good idea. Jack snorted lightly, "If you want to thank someone, thank Grandpa." Hazel immediately understood that it was Grandpa who asked him to come and pick her up. However, even if he verbally agreed with Grandpa, he could still choose not to come. She was still benefiting from Grandpa's influence. But if he really went in with her, what would they say? Claiming to be his wife was definitely not allowed. A female companion? But many people knew that he loved Ashley. Lost in thought, she heard Jack speak again, "Grandpa wants us to go together, but we had an agreement before hand. You know what to do when the time come. right?" Hazel was puzzled, "What?" She looked at him for a while before he gave her a cold, indifferent look,"When the time comes, you are you and I am me. Do you understand?" As soon as he finished speaking, he fiercely turned the steering wheel and the car stopped by the side of the road. He turned his head and coldly ordered, "Get out!" Hazel looked at the street outside, "Haven't we arrived yet?" Jack sneered,"Do you want me to take you directly to the venue?" It was already past six o'clock, and although the summer nights were long, it was still hot outside. Hazel stood alone on the street, looking at the familiar silhouette of the Maybach feeling inexplicably cold. She was happy when he came to pick her up in Rose villa, but what was the result? He just reminded her not to expose their relationship. But they were still quite far from the charity event venue. Was it okay to just leave her here? Couldn't he drop her off a little closer to the event? It was difficult to get a taxi during dinner time. By the time Hazel arrived, the auction was almost over. "Eighty million!" The auctioneer held the small hammer and shouted excitedly, "Lot 27, with a bid of 80 million. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?" The room was filled with murmurs, but no one raised their bid. "80 million once! 80 million twice! 80 million three times!" with a very knock of the hammer, the auctioneer shouted to the people below, "Our last auction item today,'Angel's Love' has been sold. Congratulation Mr. Jack!" As the applause rang out, Hazel sat in her seat, watching the man who was now surrounded by many people congratulating him. She was stunned for a moment before looking away. Angel's Love was a necklace, with the most eye-catching feature being the pink heart-shaped gem in the center. Before coming here, she had heard the story about this necklace. After the auction, there was a regular banquet, which mainly involved eating and drinking, as well as getting to know more people or establishing connections. Hazel had not returned for three years and was not unfamiliar with such occasions, but she did not know many people here today.After all, everyone else was in groups, while she was alone. So she chose a corner and ate quietly by herself, planning to leave soon. "Hazel!" Rachael suddenly patted Hazel's shoulder and greeted her loudly. Hazel did not expect Rachael to be here, but she only nodded faintly. "You're here too?" "Yes!" Rachael smiled sweetly. "I came with Andrew. Today, I am his companion." "I see." Thinking of what happened at Global yesterday, Hazel was keen on seeing Andrew. she was afraid of Jack, but was afraid of causing trouble for Andrew. "I just saw Jack, I didn't see you. I thought you didn't come. But my dad told me that Jack's assistant came to Brooks the other day and specifically said not to disclose your relationship. although you came, you can only watch from the sidelines." Rachael sat down on a nearby chair. "Hey, Hazel, you rejected Andrew before, but now..." Hazel was feeling upset. "Have you said enough? If you have, then leave." She didn't like Rita and Rachael from the bottom of her heart. Although Rachael was usually polite to her, this was the first time she had been so sarcastic and mocking. "Don't go. I came here specifically to keep you company," Rachael said. Hazel wanted to leave, but she didn't want to see Jack, unfortunately, Rachael wouldn't leave either. She didn't care what was n the glass in front of her and picked it up to drink. Seeing Hazel was ignoring her and just drinking alone, Rachael couldn't help but sneer. Hazel had always been proud, like a beautiful, elegant, and arrogant peacock. But now? She looked like a discarded woman! Because her father had forbidden her from mentioning Hazel's relationship with Jack outside, she naturally wouldn't be so stupid as to bring it up herself. Otherwise, if the Brooks family had any trouble, she wouldn't have an easy time either. But now, seeing Hazel's lonely appearance, she had endured it for so long, she had to find some satisfaction. "By the way, Jack was really amazing just now. He directly bid 80 million for that thing... It shouldn't be for you, right?" Rachael blinked innocently, but her words were not as innocent as her expression. Hazel gave Rachael a cold glance, but before she could retort, she saw Jack walking over, surrounded by a group of people, even receiving compliments like," Mr. Jack, you are truly young and promising." Jack didn't speak. He stood there in his sharp suit, exuding an air of nobility. Even though there were so many people, he was still the most outstanding one. "Mr. Jack. I heard that you and Miss Ashley have a good relationship. The necklace you just bid for is Miss. Ashley, right?" Someone asked. Jack paused, glanced at Hazel, whom he had already seen, and then slightly curved his lips. "You've heard a lot. She is simple-minded and this necklace is the perfect match for her. Some people are too scheming. Even if they were given it, they would defile the meaning of the necklace itself." his magnetic voice transmitted over to Hazel. Hazel's breathing faltered, and she suddenly felt nervous. The hand holding the glass unconsciously tightened its grip. She turned her head away, pretending not to have seen him, but his magnetic voice still reached her ears."Hazel, did you not rest well yesterday?" Martha looked at the somewhat haggard Hazel with concern and asked. "Well. just a little bit." Hazel replied.Not having rested all night, her mental state was naturally not great.After arranging everything for the party yesterday and making sure everything was in order, she returned to Rose villa very late. Despite being very tired, she did not sleep and instead rushed to finish the birthday gift for Jack so that she could personally give it to him on his birthday today."Do you want a cup of coffee?" Martha took out a bag of instant coffee from the drawer. "I just bought a box today.""No, thank you." Hazel shook her head. "It's getting late, I'll go upstairs to clean up first.""Okay," When she thought of the CEO, Martha couldn't help but speak again. "Be careful not to provoke the CEO again.""I shouldn't." Hazel took the cleaning tools and headed straight to the 38th floor, of course, with the bank card that Jack gave her. Although Jac
Jack sneered, "Anna, it's been a while, why are you so talkative now?"Anna shrugged as if she couldn't hear his sarcasm, "Haven't I always been like this, Jack?"Hazel quickly glanced at Jack and saw his impatient expression. Although she felt a little disappointed, she still couldn't help but pull Anna's arm ans signal her to stop talking.But Anna ignored her, "Hazel, what's your relationship with him? What's wrong with him accompanying you to buy clothes?" She looked at Jack again and blinked her eyes with a smile, "Jack, or is it that you can't bear to spend the money?"Jack's eyes were cold and he stared at Hazel who remained silent. He suddenly felt disgusted. He had suspected that this woman was deliberately following him and letting Anna say these things. Now it seemed that his guess was not wrong at all. He didn't want to deal with them anymore, so he handed the card that hadn't been put into his wallet to Hazel, "I don't have time to argue with you. Aren't you here to buy t
After returning from the old mansion of Jack's family, Hazel was full of doubts. Anita didn't answer her, just stared at her coldly with resentment for a long time before saying contemptuously, "Hazel, you did this to yourself. Have you forgotten?Ha!I really don't know whether to say you have a big heart or what. How can there be a woman like you in the world? You look good and can act cute, but your heart is so wicked."What did she do to make Anita hate her so much? This question had been bothering her all night, and she even had a nightmare. In the dream, Anita was chasing her with a knife, calling her all sort of names.She spent another day in the company in a daze,and after work, she didn't stay long because she had to rush to buy a birthday gift. She grabbed her bag and hurried out."Hazel!"Hearing the voice, Hazel looked over and saw Anna standing by the fountain in front of Global gate waving at her with a bright smile."I thought you said you wouldn't be back for another tw
Over the next two days, Hazel didn't receive any intentional harassment from Jack, and she didn't even see him around. Of course, this was a good thing for her, this was a good thing. Except... her colleagues in the cleaning department gave her strange looks and occasionally said some unpleasant things, but she chose to ignore them.Two days before Jack's birthday, she received a call from the Aiden family's old mansion before leaving work, inviting her to dinner.She hurried over and found that Jack was already at home. When he saw her enter, he just glanced at her lightly and didn't say much. Silas and his wife also came, and when Anita saw her, her face naturally didn't look good. But since Jack Grandpa didn't show any reaction, only Richard, that little guy, greeted her with a smile.After dinner, Jack grandpa asked everyone to go to the living room."Tomorrow is Jack's birthday." He couldn't help but sigh, "Time really flies. Jack is already twenty six years." He then looked at H
After waiting for Hazel to return to the company, Richard finished his food slowly and was about to leave. However, as soon as he walked out of a cafe, a man blocked his way."Young master Richard.""Uncle Peter, hello." Richard greeted Peter with a smile. "Is uncle Peter having lunch now?""No, the CEO wants me to take you to his office for a moment."Richard was taken aback."My uncle is looking for me?""Yes.""Can I ...not go?" Richard naturally refused at the thought of a certain person's face.Peter smiled lightly. "I'm afraid not."Although Richard was reluctant, he followed Petetr to Jack's office. when he saw a certain person, he became very obedient. "Uncle."Jack lazily glanced at Richard and didn't respond."Uncle," Richard blinked his eyes. "What do you want to see me for?""Tell me, what are you doing here?" Jack asked straight forwardly, "You were just with Hazel?"Richard was stunned. "Did you see us?" He didn't even notice his uncle, the big boss, how did he know that
The next day, Hazel went to Global with a pair of panda eyes, carrying the "homework" that Jack had asked her to do. Jack looked at the paper filled with writing and slightly curled his lips, then began to point out flaws, "Your handwriting is sloppy. Are you just trying to get by?""No," Hazel replied with a good temper, "Mr. Jake, this is how I write.""Is that so?" He glanced at her sideways. "Then tell me, what does article 11 of the third item of Global says?"Hazel was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Jack to pull this on her. Although she had a good memory, she had done it yesterday with the intention of just getting by. How could she really remember? Besides, she was tired and sleepy later on, and it was impossible for her to think about memorizing these contents."Can't remember?""Or did you not really try to remember?"Facing the aggressive Jack, Hazel replied with a stiff scalp, "Mr. Jack, I have completed what you asked me to give you.""It's good that you complet
