Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

"Well, you finally thought to ask about that?" Isaac sneered.

"Isaac!" Joshua's voice was somewhat serious.

Isaac sighed, he was very concerned with Hazel. Besides, what Joshua was doing now made Isaac somewhat suspicious that he really did something wrong to Hazel.

However, since they had been good friends for years, Isaac would be angry with him, but he would still be on his side.

Isaac told him what had happened.

Joshua was dumbfounded, Hazel had been in such a dangerous situation, but he was not with her. Even after she summoned the courage to find him, he rejected her.

No wonder she was so confused and destitute when she left last night. How discouraged was she at that moment?

Joshua's heart ached a lot. He wanted to prove his innocence too eagerly that he neglected Hazel. He should have paid attention to her safety at all times, but he was distracted.

If Hazel left forever this time, what was the use of proving his innocence?

"Isaac, help me to find her. You must find her!" Joshua was anxious.

Isaac stopped short. Joshua had always been unhurried and would deal with anything calmly. No man would be able to guess what he was thinking, Joshua didn't even know himself. It was the first time he ever felt desperate.

"Okay. I will do my best." Isaac promised.

Hazel arrived at the railway station and picked up her ticket. She did not think twice, she just walked to the waiting area and sat down. The train would be arriving shortly, and she would be with her parents within a few hours.

Hazel stared at the time on the phone, she only had to wait five minutes before she could check-in. She kept looking at the door in anticipation but then quickly changed her attitude, she was angry.

Was she still expecting something to happen, expecting Joshua to come?

Even if he did show up, Hazel did not want to see him, not that he would come after.

Suddenly, the radio sounded, "Hello passengers, train number 282 is delayed by 1 hour. We apologize for any inconvenience. If you have any questions, please ask one of our staff."

Hazel checked her ticket, it was the train she was going to board.

She had to wait another hour? She was so frustrated, she just wanted to leave and not have to wait for even another second.

Hazel furrowed her eyebrows. She took her phone and was going to book another ticket, but she was unable to access her account. The error message stated her password was incorrect.

Why was this happening? Had someone hacked her account?

Hazel was irritable and tried to reset her password, but she could not change it no matter what she tried. She wanted to throw her phone across the room.

"Is there something wrong with the network?" Hazel thought and closed her phone.

Since she could not buy the ticket online, she decided to buy it directly at the station.

She took her luggage to the ticket lobby. There were so many people there that the queue was long enough to reach the entrance, but Hazel was determined to leave and lined up.

There was a train in 30 minutes, she would still have time to get on that train.

Finally, Hazel made it to the ticket window. After she handed over her ID card, the worker returned it along with her money and said, "Sorry, your ID card is invalid."

"How could that be possible?" Hazel was anxious, "Why is it invalid? It is not fake or expired."

"Miss, I can understand, but the ID card is indeed invalid."

Hazel still wanted to say something more. However, the person behind her was impatient and urged, "Can't you be quick? Don't waste our time here!"

"Yeah, be quick!" Some people also echoed.

Hazel put her head down and walked away from the ticket window.

She could not buy a new ticket so she would have to take the train that was delayed.

When Hazel got back to the waiting room, it was almost empty. She felt like the world was against her. She was just about to sit down when she saw Train 282 pulling away, it wasn't an hour late, only 40 minutes.

Her ticket was useless.

"Why is nothing turning outright?" Hazel complained and wanted to explode.

She was so unlucky today. Why had she encountered so many coincidences?

Wait, Hazel suddenly thought of something. Were they really coincidences?

Touching the ID card in her pocket, Hazel's face became inexplicably pale.

Her ID card could not be invalid, but there was someone who was able to make it "invalid." The man was also able to make all of the coincidences happen.

Hazel knew what she had to do, the voice in her head said, "Run! Run! Run!"

Hazel quickly rushed out of the waiting room, knowing that Joshua had found out, she ran away and may have found out she was at the station. She could not stay there any longer.

He could secretly create the coincidences if he wanted her to stay, she thought.

She was too unguarded. He was Joshua Denmark, who was able to do anything if he liked. How could she be so careless?

Hazel ran out of the train station as quickly as possible and ran in the direction of the nearest bus stop.

A bus happened to stop; Hazel did not see where it was going, and she did not care, she just needed to get away, so she put her hand on the door to step up.

Someone grabbed her arm before she had the chance to make another move, she looked back to yell, when she saw who it was, she became even angrier.

"Let go of..." She shouted.

Joshua kissed her lips before she could finish her sentence.

Hazel struggled and tried her best to push him away. She yelled out, "help," although no one could clearly hear what she was saying.

Joshua held her tighter and kissed harder.

Hazel felt people staring at them. Obviously, others just regarded them as a couple who did not care about the opinions of others.

She bit his lip when he kissed her, there was a faint taste of blood on her lips. Joshua did not react, he just continued to kiss her and refused to let her go. That made her feel even more mistreated, so she bit harder.

Hazel was desperate. She was unable to push him away, he held her and led her to his car.

Hazel saw his car, and the anger in her eyes became stronger.

Joshua opened the car for her and nudged her in. He finally let her go when he started the car.

Suddenly, a loud slap echoed through the car. Hazel glared at Joshua angrily with her hand trembling.

There was a palm-print on his face.

But he did not care about that, he caught Hazel's hand and sighed, "Does it hurt?"
