Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

The rumor was that Joshua-Hazel Pictures was naturally founded by Joshua and Hazel and that it was Hazel's private company. They also said that she was making a lot of money with the company.

Of course, Denmark Group would not admit to any of the rumors, but it was still well known at Quantum University. The campus form had posts that speculated on Hazel's identity, and a lot of students started to regret how they had treated Hazel.

Hazel read the forum occasionally, so she was aware of the rumors. She was famous at school, and if she and Joshua appeared together, they would definitely attract a lot of attention.

"Okay," Joshua smiled, "Then I will wait for you to finish the defense and then pick you up."

"Perfect!" Hazel nodded quickly. She shut the car door, and she and Crystal walked through the campus gates.

As they entered the classroom, everyone stopped talking and looked at them. The students all looked at her with confused expressions, they glared like she was a mountain made of gold.

Hazel did not like to be the center of attention and felt a little uncomfortable. Suddenly, she saw Ariel sitting in the corner waving at her far away, "Hazel, here!"

She quickly weaved through the crowd and went to sit with Ariel and Summer. Crystal followed behind her; Summer looked at her curiously and whispered to Hazel, "Who is she? Your friend?"

"Well," Hazel nodded. "A friend that is responsible for protecting me."

Summer and Ariel looked at Hazel with a different expression. Hazel even had a private bodyguard, the rumors on the forum had to be true.

"Hazel, you are really..." Ariel couldn't finish her words.

"Just like what you think," Hazel whispered.

Summer and Ariel's face suddenly changed again. They looked at Hazel but unconsciously backed away from her.

"What are you guys doing?" Hazel was upset.

"It seems that you have a dazzling golden light around your body. There is money flashing in my eyes. I am going blind!" Ariel exaggerated and covered her eyes.

"Yes, you have never been so cute before. I am afraid I can't help but want to ride on your coattails." Summer echoed.

"You two are too much!" Hazel was amused.

The three laughed and chatted for a while, then the graduation defense began.

When Hazel's name was called, she walked to the podium with confidence. Her reply was very smooth, and she would have been more comfortable if, during her defense, the teachers weren't so polite.

After her defense, Hazel said goodbye to Ariel and Summer and left with Crystal. As they walked out of the building, she saw a slender figure standing at the bottom of the stairs. Hazel immediately tensed up.

"Sweetheart." Simon turned and smirked at Hazel. Even if he had a mask on, Hazel could feel how charming his smile was. She knew just how much she didn't want to see him or his smile.

Crystal saw that he stepped toward Hazel, so she jumped in front of her.

"Go away." Simon's look was a little impatient. Then, he took a small gun out in his hand, "This time, it's not a toy gun."

"What a coincidence, ours is not a toy either," Hazel said without hesitation. Crystal was also holding a gun.

Simon smiled, "Sweetheart, I remember you said that it's illegal to hold a gun here."

"Yeah, but she is legally allowed to carry a gun." Hazel smiled. "I see it is necessary for me to call the police and tell them that you are carrying one illegally!"

Simon was stunned, he couldn't believe that she had found a bodyguard that could carry a gun. He had a thought, and his expression suddenly turned serious.

"I just want to say a few words to you." He was helpless.

"You can just say it." Hazel hid behind Crystal.

"...I am not used to saying it this way." He frowned.

"I am very used to it, and I feel much more comfortable." Hazel sounded justified.

Simon was mad at her. Was he really that terrible?

"I only came to congratulate you on your graduation," Simon said.

"I haven't graduated yet." Hazel put her head out around Crystal's shoulder. "After getting my diploma and attending the graduation ceremony, I will graduate."

"No time for a diploma." Simon smiled charmingly, "Time is running out. You just need to go with me."

"What do you want?" Hazel was even more alert.

"It's all the best for you." He said with a sad look.

"I don't need that, thank you." Hazel knew that it was never a good thing when he showed up.

"Sweetheart, be smart." Simon laughed even more evilly, "Just one bodyguard can't save you. I can take both of you away, even if she is carrying a gun."

"Then try it!" Hazel said in a provocative manner as she put all of her trust in Hazel's abilities.

Crystal didn't say anything, after hearing Hazel's comment, she immediately went into a defensive state, and a dangerous aura spread out from her body.

Simon was a bit shaken as he felt the power coming from Crystal, he decided not to act impulsively.

"Hey, not so tough now, huh?" Hazel proudly stood behind Crystal's back and said, "Do you really think you can scare Crystal easily? She will break your bones at any time!"

Simon suddenly smiled, "Sweetheart, you are so cute. It's you who seduced me--"

He rushed forward, Crystal had been tightening her body and braced for his impact, but someone jumped in front of her and began to fight with Simon.

Hazel's face became dark, it was Joshua who was attacking Simon. She knew that Joshua would be picking her up, but she never expected that he and Simon would start fighting. The commotion attracted a lot of attention from the students inside and outside of the building.

"What happened?"

"Why did they start fighting?"

"Because of love?"

Listening to the speculations, Hazel's face suddenly became hot. She had wanted to keep a low profile, and the fight was not going to help. She would be the focus of the campus again.
