Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

"Doesn't that mean we live together?"Joshua smiled.

Hazel was left speechless.

"The meeting is about to begin." Joshua spoke to her in a mild voice, "Hazel, you can use anything in the office."

"Okay." Hazel hung up the phone and walked into the lounge.

Joshua was a man who really knew how to enjoy life. His lounge was more comfortable than the employees, he even had his own personal bathroom.

She entered the bathroom and put the clothes in the washing machine.

She was a little thirsty and went to find a drink in the refrigerator. There were a lot of beverages inside but a pink bottle caught Hazel's eye.

She did not read the label and just assumed it was fruit juice. She had a sip, it tasted delicious with the fragrance of the fruit. Hazel couldn't help but drink half of the bottle.

Suddenly, she realized that she still hadn't reported for duty. How could she forget such an important thing?

She immediately put the beverage back in the refrigerator and opened the door of the lounge to get out, but as she did, she saw someone and ran back into the lounge, shutting the door behind her.

She forgot to lock the office when she came in, and someone pushed open the door.

Hazel didn't want other people to see her in the lounge belonging to Joshua Denmark; she would not explain why she was there if she was caught.

Hazel heard the sound made by high-heeled shoes getting louder and louder, the person who came in must have noticed her. The sound stopped at the lounge of the door.

What should she do? Hazel was anxious and uncomfortable. Should she answer this person who asked who she was?

"Joshua," Vanessa sadly said, "Do you have to hide from me like that?"

Hazel frowned. It was Vanessa? She seemed to think Hazel was Joshua.

Hazel thought she better stay there and wait for the clothes to be done in the washer rather than leave and quarrel with Vanessa on her first day here.

Vanessa continued, "Joshua, do you still remember that thing that happened when we were in high school? There was that guy who is always harassing me. You punched him when you found out; he did not dare bother me anymore."

She kept saying, "Then there was the time we were at the bar, and that man was trying to assault me. You fought that man to protect me, you were not afraid even though there was more of them and they had knives. You finally won, but you were in the hospital for more than a week."

Hazel was intrigued.

Obviously, Vanessa talked about the past between her and Joshua, so Hazel should have gotten angry, but she was dizzy and not feeling the least bit upset.

"Joshua, I have already taken a vow that you are the only one in my heart and that I want to spend my life with." Vanessa sobbed. "At that time, you also liked me, right? We used to be good. How come we are in such a situation now?"

Hazel leaned on the wall and wondered if she should reply to her or opened the door to greet her.

"I have loved you for so many years. My heart and my body only belong to you. Joshua, I am not greedy, as long as you can let me stay by your side. I do not care if you will marry me or not."Vanessa said emotionally.

She had such sincerity in her voice that it amused Hazel.

Suddenly she wanted to know if Vanessa knew the person listening to her deep confession was not Joshua but her, how would she react to that?

"Joshua, why are you not responding to me? Are you afraid of seeing me now?" Vanessa said with tears in her eyes. "Even if you refuse me, please come out and look me in the eyes to say so. I will wait here until you come out. Joshua, I am yours."

Vanessa stopped talking, and it became quiet. Hazel was feeling anxious, wondering if she was still waiting outside.

Hazel was looking around for a way to escape when she noticed a spyhole on the door, she was ecstatic, but that quickly changed when she looked out and saw Vanessa still there, taking off her clothes piece by piece.

Hazel stumbled backward out of shock and knocked a box down.

Vanessa now had all of her clothes off, she smiled enchantingly and said, "Joshua, I know you are watching me. Open the door now..."

The door of the office opened, Vanessa turned around only to see Joshua and Jaxson walking in. They all looked at each other in complete disbelief. Vanessa was unable to speak, so she gave Joshua a disgusted look.

"Why are you here?" Joshua questioned her.

Vanessa's first reaction was to scream then pick up her clothes to hide her private parts.

Jaxson quickly collected himself and told Joshua, "Sir, I need to fetch some documents."

He left the office in a rush.

"What are you doing?" his eyes looking down to avoid looking at Vanessa's naked body.

"Joshua, you just walked in, so then who is in the lounge." She asked awkwardly.

"Sorry, you were speaking to the wrong person just now." Hazel opened the door and leaned against it, smiling at her.

Joshua fixed his sights on Hazel.

"You-you..." Vanessa pointed at Hazel angrily and was trembling too much even to utter a word.

The thoughts went through Vanessa's at the speed of light. Hazel heard what she had said? Why was she here? Did that mean she had been watching her the whole time? Didn't that mean Hazel heard everything she said? She made a fool of herself in front of her rival, how could she live with that?

"Aren't you feeling a bit cold?" Hazel asked her with a smile.

"None of your business!" She shouted at her angrily.

"Okay," Hazel was much happier. "I think you have a thick waist. You need to exercise more, and some arms work too."

Vanessa was about to go crazy, she did not mind if Joshua looked at her body.

How could she stand to have Hazel judging her body?

She put on her clothes as quickly as possible and ran out.

Hazel burst out laughing after Vanessa left.

Joshua was still furrowing his eyebrows when he walked toward Hazel.

Hazel suddenly lost balance and would have fallen if Joshua hadn't caught her.

"Are you unhappy?" Hazel reached her fingers out and raised his chin.
