Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

She was not exaggerating. Jaxson called in the doctor with a serious face, but when he finished examining, the doctor found Hazel was very healthy and alive!

Although he did not dare to say much, she saw his speechless expression.

"Mr. President asks me to do that, so I'd better be careful," Jaxson said. He did not seem to think it was wrong.

"..." Knowing that she couldn't defeat Joshua at such a thing and that it wasn't a big deal, she didn't continue.

After that, she began to deal with Denmark Group's official business.

Only then did Hazel realize that Joshua had made profound arrangements from the very beginning.

From the moment Joshua met her, he asked her to be his secretary. He got her to go to various kinds of important meetings, meet important people with him, and watch him do a lot of work. Although she was ignorant at the beginning, she became more and more familiar with Denmark Group as time went by.

Over the past year, Joshua had been teaching her imperceptibly and getting her to accept everything about Denmark Group in the way that suited her best. Therefore, even though he was not around now, she was in her element when she handled these matters.

But after a while, Jaxson came to the office and asked her to rest. That, of course, was what Joshua had enjoined Jaxson before he left. Joshua was afraid Hazel would be too busy to take care of herself.

Hazel was speechless. It seemed Joshua didn't leave!

But after all, he did it because he cared about her. Thinking of this, her heart suddenly turned soft, and she even began to miss him.

"Why does he go on a business trip?" She could not help asking.

Joshua had told her he would be away for a week. But she didn't know why he went on his business trip. If she knew what he was doing, she would know if he could come back early this time.

"It's because there is an accident in the branch office in Country M," Jaxson explained. "Denmark Group has been booming very well in Country M over these years. This incident will directly affect the development of Denmark Group in Country M. If it can't be handled properly, it will even affect Denmark Group's stock price, so Mr. President has to go there."

She nodded and asked no more questions. But she was somewhat sad because she thought Joshua could not come back earlier this time.

"Mrs. Denmark," Jaxson asked, "there'll be an important dinner party in three days. Would you like to attend?"

Although Joshua thought highly of Jaxson, his status was not valued at some upper-class parties. If he attended instead of Joshua or Hazel, people wouldn't object in front of him, but they would probably say veiled criticism behind his back.

Hazel knew something about the situation. She even knew that the people in the so-called upper class would not have thought much of her as the Denmark family's daughter if Joshua had not repeatedly affirmed her position on various occasions.

"Yes, you can arrange it for me. I will go." Hazel opened her mouth.

She had been busy in Denmark Group until she got off work.

Then she returned to Denmark Residence. Without Joshua in the house, she felt the house quite empty.

She took out her cell phone, subconsciously trying to call Joshua, but finally, she refrained from calling.

She didn't know if Joshua had reached Country M, and even if he did, he would need to get over his jet lag. She had better not disturb him at such a time.

The servants had made supper. After a few bites of the food, Hazel, who had a poor appetite, got up and went upstairs.

Lying bored on the bed in the bedroom, she suddenly seemed sleepy.

Just then, her phone rang.

Looking at the caller's name on the phone, her listless face suddenly lit up and became full of joy.

She sat up in bed instantly and quickly answered the phone. She sounded like she missed him very much, "Honey, are you in Country M now?"

Hearing Hazel's crisp voice, Joshua felt all the fatigue disappeared. His mouth tilted upwards slightly at the corners. "Yes, I am. Are you full?"

As soon as he got off the plane, he couldn't wait to call her.

"Mm, rest assured," she answered guiltily.

"Huh?" He cocked an eyebrow. "You answered in such a hurry that you didn't seem to eat much."

"I have no appetite..." Seeing she couldn't keep it from him, she had no choice but to tell the truth.

"You mustn't starve yourself." He sighed. "I'll have some midnight snacks sent upstairs later."

"I see…" Her heart was warm, and she felt much better.

"Did you have a good day today?" he asked in a low voice.

"Yeah. A very good day." She started telling him about her visit to the company. Of course, she couldn't help complaining to him about his exaggerated action and told him about the party.

"Party?" He frowned slightly.

When he listened to her who told him about the party in detail, his eyebrows formed a knot.

Of course, he didn't want Hazel to go to the party. After all, she was usually escorted by bodyguards and under the protection of Denmark Group, but there were so many different kinds of people at the party that it was inevitable that some people who had ulterior motives might sneak in the party.

If someone intended to do something to Hazel at that time, he might not be able to protect her since he was in another country. It seemed that he needed to find a more suitable 'bodyguard' for her. In a flash, he thought of a candidate.

"Go then." He nodded. "Have a good time."

"... Oh." She was somewhat surprised. She had thought Joshua specially asked about the party because he didn't want her to go.

"Is there anything else you want to tell me?" he asked quietly.

"What?" She was puzzled. She had told Joshua everything. What else did she want to say?

"Nothing?" he added.

"Nothing," after thinking carefully in her mind, she said positively.

He felt stifled and spoke, "Honey, I miss you so much, don't… you miss me at all?"

Her cheeks flushed slightly. So that was what he wanted to hear.

She picked up the pillow at the side and held it in her arms. Then she whispered, "Yes. I miss you. I miss you very much..."

With that, she hid her face shyly in the pillow. She thought she was very strange. If Joshua had been in front of her, perhaps she would have directly jumped into his arms and shown how much she missed him. But saying loving words to him… really left her coy.
