Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

"Becky, do you have a ladder?" Hazel thought for a moment. "If we put a ladder on the backside of the tree, I can help you get it down."

"No, no!" Becky shook her head. "Then we will be discovered by my mother. Hazel, we have to get it quietly!"

"You want me to go from here?" Hazel surprisingly pointed at the branches outside the balcony.

The tree was some years old, and the branches that extended out of the balcony were strong enough, not too far from the balcony. But even if you turned, went over the balcony, and walked along the branches, it was still too dangerous.

"Yes, yes," said Becky. "Hazel, my brother used to sneak out and play here. He said it was safe. I am nervous and afraid to go there. You are an adult, you are definitely not afraid, right?"

Hazel looked at the branch again, and she shook her head. "No, it's too dangerous. Becky, if you are just afraid that your mother will blame you, then I will take responsibility for it. You can say this happened when we were playing, and I accidentally threw it up..."

"No, no!" Becky hurriedly interrupted her. "How can I do that to you? My mother will not believe it and even blame me for lying! Hazel, if you are not willing to help me, forget it. I am old enough, I will do it!"

Becky angrily crawled over the railing of the balcony.

"Be careful!" Hazel quickly reached out and tried to pull her back.

Becky had gone over the side of the balcony and stood on the branch. She voluntarily let go of the railing and tried to let go of Hazel's hand. "You don't need me to control me... Ah!"

Her foot slipped, and she fell. Becky felt that the speed of the drop suddenly slowed down. She looked up in a panic and saw that Hazel had crawled over the balcony. She grabbed the railing of the balcony with one hand and held her wrist tightly.

Becky was stunned, and she stared at Hazel.

She originally thought that Hazel was deliberately not wanting to do it, but Hazel saw that she was in danger, and she actually saved her like this. Moreover, Hazel did not know that she had deliberately lied to her and wanted her to crawl over the side.

"Don't be afraid, I will pull you up right away!" Hazel grabbed the railing and tried to tell her.

Becky burst into tears.

Hazel was stunned and did not know how to comfort the child at all. And, especially at this time.

"Becky, if you cry again, both of us will fall." She said helplessly, and she could only scare her in this way.

"Then we will die?" Becky sobbed, and she was full of fear.

"No, but it is very likely that we could break our legs," Hazel said truthfully.

Becky cried even louder, and Hazel was frantic. She did not know how she would pull Becky up.

Suddenly, the door of the studio opened. Hazel was happy and shouted, "Is someone there? Here..."

Her voice suddenly stopped, and she felt extremely awkward. The person who entered the room was not just anyone, it was Joshua. He ran to the balcony after heard Hazel crying out. He saw her and Becky hanging on the edge of the balcony, and his face went pale.

"Hazel, don't be afraid." Joshua caught her wrist and pulled the two up.

Back on the balcony, Becky was too afraid even to sit, she paced back and forth while she cried.

"Hazel, are you okay?" Joshua whispered.

"I'm fine." Hazel replied, and she crouched down to ask, "Becky, have you been injured?"

Becky shook her head, and she suddenly ran into Hazel's arms and said with an apology. "Hazel, I am sorry, I have been deliberately lying to you. But I have no evil thoughts, I just wanted to spoil your dress and make it so you could not attend the party. I don't know it would be so dangerous..."

"Don't cry, I know it." Hazel took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears.

"Ah?" Becky looked at her.

"I know that you don't like me," Hazel tapped her nose. "You wanted to play with me, and you just also tried to trick me. In fact, you like Joshua, right?"

Hazel was not stupid and naturally saw the hidden hostility that Becky had toward her and her attachment to Joshua. When she entered the studio, she already guessed what Becky wanted to do.

This girl... Joshua sighed helplessly. However, Hazel has her own solution, and he would not take part in it.

"Then, why are you saving me?" Becky asked with awkwardness.

"Because I know that you are not bad deep down." Hazel touched her head. How could someone think of splashing her with paint, lying to her to ruin her dress, and even become happy when she praised her bad? She was just spoiled by her family.

"Hazel, you are so good." Becky cried and rushed into her arms.

"Don't cry," Hazel smiled. "If you cry like this, you are still able to dirty my dress with your tears."

Becky immediately obeyed and stopped crying.

The situation had caught the attention of other guests, Professor Watson and Mrs. Watson walked into the room. Hazel explained that it was an accident, but they knew Becky's temper and disciplined her.

"Professor, don't get angry with her," Joshua advised. "She just got scared, you should comfort her first."

"I am sorry, Hazel." Professor Watson said with remorse.

"It really was nothing, Professor, it was just an accident." Hazel smiled.

Professor Watson took Becky's hand and began to lead her out of the room. She looked back at Hazel reluctantly. "Hazel, can you accompany me? I am afraid..."

"Hey, don't be afraid." Hazel touched her head. "You go back to your room to make sure there are no injuries. You should take a bath and change the clothes, then we can go to the banquet together, okay?"

"Okay, deal!" Becky nodded obediently. She looked up at Joshua. "Joshua, Hazel is magnificent, you must be good to her."

"I will." Joshua smiled and promised.

Becky and her parents left the room, Joshua approached Hazel.

"What are you doing?" Hazel looked at him on alert.

"Helping you check for injuries," Joshua said with a smile.

"Check what? I didn't get injured." Hazel didn't look at him.

Joshua suddenly grabbed her by the waist and said. "Hazel, are you angry?"
