Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

But what he said gave her the impression that he did not care about the Flores family. Or, had Joshua guessed something was going on, so he was deliberately trying to appease her?

Joshua frowned slightly, and he looked at her thoughtfully. "Hazel, is there something happening? You have been acting really strange lately..."

"What would be happening?" Hazel smiled and panicked. "I have just been so busy recently, and the pressure is getting to me. Let's discuss the plan!"

"...good." Joshua's eyes deepened, and he closely watched Hazel's eyes for a sign of what was happening, but there was nothing.

Joshua looked at the plan and gave Hazel his opinions, she carefully wrote them down.

"In a few days, Danny is having a celebration dinner, he invited me," Hazel said. "Do you think I may be able to get a few more investments or something?"

"Yeah." Joshua nodded slightly. "This is a good idea." He looked at her and put his hand out with his palm upward.

"What are you doing?" Hazel asked awkwardly.

"Invitation." Joshua opened his mouth and said.

"Where is your invitation?" Hazel was stunned. "It is just for internal contacts. If you go, you will be recognized by others. And the guests will only try to please you, they will not remember that it is a celebration. Don't you always take the lead?"

Joshua had a gloomy expression, "The Denmark Group does not involve the entertainment industry, and I usually keep a low profile. People in your circle may not know me."

"Don't make trouble," Hazel silently waved his hand. "Danny's guests may not have much to do with your people, but you are Joshua Denmark, and there are always people who recognize you."

Joshua looked stunned, and Hazel seemed to have made up her mind not to let him go, But, even if it is such a celebration feast, he had a solution to go if he wanted.

Hazel wore a simple and elegant black dress to the celebration dinner.

She arrived at the hotel where the dinner was being held with a plan. She was looking for a suitable investor.

The Flores family had not bothered her since their last conversation, they only urged Theresa to speak to her, this left Hazel more time to concentrate on work.

There was a noise when she arrived at the door of the banquet hall, Hazel looked and frowned. Susan was standing there.

However, Hazel quickly understood that Danny was the director, and this celebration party would inevitably have many famous directors and investors present. For Susan, this was naturally a good opportunity, but Susan had been stopped at the door.

"Why won't you let me in?" Susan asked angrily. "Don't you recognize me? I am a famous star, Luna. It should be your pleasure to let me in. You'd better let me in!"

"Sorry, Miss Luna," the security guard was still unmoved and did not hesitate to stop her outside. "This is a private party. Only those with invitations can enter."

"You..." Susan was angry and annoyed, but there was no way to get in.

Hazel walked up behind Susan, she was opening her purse to get her invitation. The security guard saw her and immediately greeted her. "Miss Crowe, you can come in."

Susan was very dissatisfied, and she said with annoyance, "Did you not say only people with an invitation can enter? Why did she get in without one?"

"Danny specifically told me that Miss Crowe was his VIP and she can enter. There was no need to have her invitation." Security said mockingly. In fact, Danny not only told him about Hazel, but he also told that Susan must not be allowed in.

"You are bullying me!" Susan pointed at the security guard, and her face was angry.

If she had just been stopped, she could have dealt with it, but she was actually stopped in front of Hazel. Furthermore, the security guard's attitude toward her and Hazel was utterly different. How could she accept this?

The last time she suffered a big loss, and she had no choice but to endure it. Hazel was now being treated better than her, it was like Hazel was crushing her under her heel.

"Where is your manager?" Susan growled, showing a look of being ready to make trouble, "I want to complain about you!"

Hazel walked in, she frowned for a moment but then turned to the guard. With a smile, she said, "When I came, I saw a few reporters who seemed to be coming this way. You remember to stop them, don't let them get in."

Susan's face suddenly changed. Even if she wanted to make trouble, she knew that she should maintain her image in front of the media. Although she was a straightforward person in front of the media, there was still a difference between straightforward and making trouble.

Susan snorted and hurried away.

"Thank you, Miss Crowe." The security guard sighed. If Susan were really made trouble, it would be because of his negligence.

Hazel smile nodded, and walked into the banquet hall. Danny had ordered a large cake, it was sitting in the middle of the hall. There were many gathered around Danny congratulating him, Hazel watched but did not go forward.

Susan quickly left the hotel, but when she got to her car, she hesitated. She was unwilling to leave.

She turned to Mandy, who was standing by the car, and said, "Go inside and see if there are any reporters."

Mandy reluctantly went in to look around. She walked back to the car and told Susan that she had not seen any reporters.

Susan clenched her teeth and glared. She was fooled by Hazel again, but she was not going to forget about it this time.

Suddenly, Susan, a smile flashed across her face, she walked straight toward the hotel. Over her shoulder, she yelled back, "Mandy, make the call!"

At the celebration party, Hazel and Danny spoke quietly and then met with some guests. They talked simply about the online drama, and although quite a few people showed interest, there were no commitments to invest.

Hazel was not discouraged, though, and just as she was to talk to another guest, a drunken man with a big belly suddenly stopped in front of her.

"Beauty, drink two cups with me." The drunk man said, reaching out and preparing to take Hazel's shoulder.

Hazel's face sank, and she escaped calmly. This was the celebration party for Danny, and she did not want to make it too ugly.

She was trying to go around a table, but the drunk man was again in front of her. He slurred, "I gave you a compliment when I called you beauty. Do you really think you are that special? You could not even react properly?"
