Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

Hazel watched as Joshua took her cell phone and put the unknown number that Simon called on the blocked list.

"Hazel, do you think that I'm doing too much?" Joshua looked at her innocently, "Would you like to call him to explain?"

"Explain what..." Hazel looked at him angrily.

Joshua twitched his lips.

"Joshua," Hazel stretched out her arms and suddenly caught his neck.

"Hmmm?" He chuckled, "Hazel, do you want to try in the office...?"

Hazel felt that the mood was suddenly gone. She said very quietly, "You mean, in front of the flowers that were sent by Simon?"

"I sent them…." Joshua corrected her, his face was dark.

"Okay, I knew it!" Hazel retorted, "Listen to me, I am very grateful to you, so I want to say thank you!"

"Hazel, you can thank me in this way. I would be grateful." He smiled.

Hazel really wanted to be mad at him.

"I deliberately didn't want you to say it." Joshua's eyes went a little deeper. "Hazel, I don't want to hear you say thank you. Or, could you physically thank me?"

"I am tempted; would you cooperate?" Hearing the teasing in his words, Hazel blinked, and her index finger gently drew a circle on his chest. "I will graduate soon. Before then, just be patient, okay?"

Joshua's body was burning. Hearing her words, he could only helplessly press down his desire. "Fine, I listen to you."

After her identity matter was solved, Hazel suddenly felt that her good fortune had returned. The only thing that didn't go well was the situation with Mandy and Fred.

After Mandy and Fred were taken away, they took the opportunity to escape on their way to the police station. Joshua sent a lot of men to find them, but they could not find out where they were hiding.

Other than that, Hazel felt everything was moving in the right direction, including Joshua-Hazel Pictures, the first film was finally released. The film's screening was well received by critics, and on the official release date, the film had an excellent occupancy rating.

In addition to the press release, Mathew Carter's fame and the popularity of the online drama had not faded, the fans of the online drama were curious. They wanted to know if their favorite stars could perform on the big screen, so many of them went to see the film.

When they went to see it, they found it was actually good, and the reviews caused an explosive growth at the box office. The newspapers were calling the film a big hit, it was playing in the theatres every day. Hazel felt that the investment was worth it when she received all the revenue.

Even though Hazel repeatedly warned herself that the film should not affect her graduation thesis defense, she couldn't help but secretly pay attention to the box office.

On the day of her graduation thesis defense, Joshua drove Hazel to school.

"How has the preparation for the thesis defense gone?" Joshua asked.

"It's good." Hazel glanced at her phone and said.

"I'm not talking about the box office." Joshua's face was a little irritated. He knew what Hazel had been concentrating on, he wasn't too worried, but he wanted her to try. Even if Hazel's defense were terrible, he would make sure she could graduate, but he didn't want it to come to that.

"Ah?" Hazel replied, then she shyly put her cell phone away.

"Is it so fascinating?" Joshua sighed helplessly.

"Of course, it's good!" Hazel said with a sigh of relief, "By the looks of these numbers, I can officially say that I will be able to be your sugar mama!"

"You are my sugar mama now, Ms. President." Joshua couldn't smile.

Since the confirmation of Hazel's identity, he had given her everything in Denmark Group. She was the biggest shareholder in Denmark Group. Although they didn't have a general meeting with all of the shareholders to give Hazel the title, she was already the actual president of Denmark Group, his real boss.

"Okay, I got that concept in my head..." Hazel touched her chest, her heart was thumping, she waved her hand, "Let's forget it for a second! When you mention Denmark Group, I feel like a huge mountain is pressing down on me. I can't even breathe!"

"Okay, let's forget it." He chuckled.

"Joshua," Hazel suddenly questioned him, "You gave me everything. Wouldn't you regret it?"

"No." He said faintly, but his look was so firm.

"Aren't you afraid that one day I will..." Hazel hesitated and finally said, "I will break up with you, and then you will have nothing?"

***

Joshua stopped the car at the gate of the campus. He turned to her, put his arm around her waist, and whispered in her ear, "That day will never happen. I will make you unable to leave me, both mentally and physically."

He gently bit on Hazel's earlobe, she shuddered and pushed him away. She got out of the car quickly, when she saw Joshua getting out of the car she yelled, "Stay!"

"Are you actually abandoning me?" Joshua's eyes were a bit resentful.

"You are impossible." Hazel was speechless. "I have to keep a low profile. If you are with me, things will explode! I've come to participate in the defense, not to be watched by students, okay?"

Before Mandy and Hazel had their true identities revealed, Mandy manipulated the entire university into believing that Hazel was an imposter and that she just wanted money from Denmark Group.

Even though Joshua had clarified all the rumors surrounding Denmark Group, confirmed Mandy was a liar and that her plot with Fred Cohen was a scam, he could not announce that she was the daughter of the Denmark family until after graduation.

He had made a promise to the Crowe family that he would not allow Hazel to be at the forefront of any public controversy. However, many guessed that since Mandy was not Denmark's daughter that Hazel must be.

Besides the truth about Mandy coming out, the popularity of the film released by Joshua-Hazel Pictures encouraged people to dig up information.
