Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

He took a deep breath and gently circled her. Time seemed to slow down as Hazel felt Joshua's fingers slipped over her body, and it seemed her little heart was about to pop out of her throat.

When he finally adjusted her bra, she breathed a sigh of relief as if she had been holding her breath. She had miscalculated, she did not think it would be a torment for her.

Suddenly Joshua chuckled a little and turned her around and kissed her heavily on the lips.

Hazel was shocked. She intuitively wanted to struggle, but Joshua carried her to the bed, he laid her down and crawled on top of her.

"Joshua, don't…" she said in a panic.

"Are you afraid now?" Joshua's eyes were a little darker. "Hazel, it's you who played with fire first, and of course, it's you who should put it out."

How did that happen? Hazel was confused. Things went completely beyond her expectations. She wouldn't really play with fire, would she?

"Don't forget the three rules!" she yelled hastily.

"Hazel, if you don't spill the beans, neither do I, none will know." An evil smile appeared on Joshua's lips.

She was in a daze. Wouldn't Joshua mean business? As his face became closer and closer, Hazel closed her eyes and stiffened slightly with submission.

Joshua didn't know whether to cry or laugh. He curled his finger and flicked it on her forehead.

"Pain!" Hazel opened her eyes and rubbed her forehead.

"Do you dare to be naughty in the future?" he asked. He just wanted to scare her, but he didn't really want to break the rules. Though Hazel was a little willing, none of the Crowe family would be easy to deal with.

"No, no!" She was very sensible.

Joshua got up and helped her get to her feet.

Hazel looked at him in surprise, a little suspicious. "You really let me go?"

"So, you expect me to continue, right?" He chuckled. "Hazel, I'd be happy to help."

Hazel shook her head like a rattle. She didn't want to do it again. If they accidentally made love, she really couldn't face her mom or dad.

Joshua quickly helped her change her clothes, and they went downstairs to breakfast together.

Isaac rushed into the dining room as just Joshua scooped up a spoonful of porridge and put it in Hazel's mouth. He burst into tears instantly. Did they have to act like that? No sooner had he arrived than they demonstrated their affection for each other.

He turned his back on them. "Enough, you two! Nobody wants to watch your lovey crap! Why is Joshua feeding..."

"If you're envious and jealous, you should also fall in love with a girl," Joshua said quietly. "I think your fiancée would be thrilled to..."

"All right, all right! Why do you mention her?!" Isaac, who interrupted him glumly, pulled a chair and sat down next to them.

Hazel raised her injured wrist. "Special situation."

"Hazel, how did you get hurt? Why is Joshua so useless? Why don't you come back with me? I promise you won't get hurt." Isaac rushed to Hazel.

Joshua's eyes were slightly cold, and he calmly stretched out his arms to keep him from getting close to Hazel.

Hazel couldn't help laughing privately. Joshua used to scare her deliberately, so she was a little unhappy. But she felt very comfortable to see he was jealous.

"Why are you here looking for Joshua?" She quietly changed the subject.

"My grandpa asked me to invite him in person," Isaac sat down again. "It was about the two companies working together."

Since Sam lost power and was expelled from imperial capital by Joshua, the power of the Anderson family had been reshuffled. Isaac was not interested in his family's property, but Grandpa Anderson forced him, and he had been swamped.

Joshua cocked his brows slightly and said quietly, "Some other day."

"Another day?" Isaac frowned with dissatisfaction. "Joshua, my grandpa isn't the one who's going to ask you to tea for nothing. What important matter are you busy with and has to make my old man wait for you in vain?"

"Hazel is hurt, and I have to take care of her," he said simply.

Hazel felt a bit embarrassed and happy. So, Joshua was doing it for her?

"Go ahead, my injury isn't that bad," she said. "Besides, isn't Nanny Carter here?"

Joshua was still a little reluctant.

Knowing that he was still worried, Hazel assured him, "Rest assured, I'm going to stay here obediently, and I'll not run away, okay?"

"Okay." Joshua nodded. Then he whispered in her ear. "If you don't stop talking, I'll punish you."

His warm aura came near her ear, which made Hazel's cheeks flush as she swiftly pushed him away.

Soon, Joshua left with Isaac.

Soon after they left, Hazel got a call from Mathew.

"Miss Crowe, I've found the right woman for the leading lady!" said Mathew excitedly. "Please come quickly!"

Though Hazel's money was quickly replenished after Susan disinvested, the choice for the leading lady was left vacant. They agreed on the choice of the leading actress. Even if they spent some time, you must choose an actress with high quality and acting ability. They didn't want to go through this again with Susan.

"So soon?" Asked Hazel in surprise.

"I thought it was slow enough," Mathew said excitedly, "I personally went to the film academy to choose the actress, the girl was a good candidate for acting. Most importantly, she was a new girl with strong flexibility…"

"Director Carter, I trust you. Since you feel good, then let's confirm her," Hazel said.

"No, no, you'd better come over and meet her," Mathew said. "Besides, I have something to discuss with you."

Hazel was a bit surprised.

Since she founded Mathew, Mathew never bothered her as long as he could solve the problem on his own. But he asked her to go this time. What had happened exactly?

She looked down at her wrist. If she could get home before Joshua came home, he would not find that she had snuck out of the Denmark residence.

"Okay, you wait for me. I'll be right there." She quickly agreed.

Soon after, she went back to her room to change to something more appropriate, then snuck out and took a taxi to the set.

Mathew quickly summoned the actress to his room to meet Hazel briefly.

Hazel chatted with her and found out some of her information. The girl, a freshman, was truly stunning in appearance, distinctive and photogenic, and, as Mathew notes, a good candidate for acting.

After they met, Mathew asked her to wait while he and Hazel were talking.

"Miss Crowe, what do you think of her?" he asked.

"Pretty good, no matter her temperament or appearance, she is a suitable fit with the leading actor." Hazel nodded.

"I'm sure she'll definitely be famous and be a great asset," Mathew said significantly, "and most importantly, she hasn't signed up for an entertainment company."

Hazel was in a daze. She asked thoughtfully, "Director Carter, do you… want me to sign her?"
