Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

"Just go ahead," Hazel said quickly.

"Don't be nervous." Jennie's look softened a little. She sighed. "I am old, and I don't want to worry too much about young people like you. Joshua loves you very much. I feel like a mom to him. I only hope that you continue to believe in him in the future. No matter what happens, please stand by him always."

Although she had only seen Hazel twice, Jennie observed how much Joshua cared about Hazel. Hazel was the only girl who could make Joshua smile.

Jennie was not a person to interfere, so even if she didn't care for Hazel, she would not object to them being together.

"I guarantee that!" Hazel hurriedly promised.

Joshua's became a little gentler. He was surprised that Jennie approached Hazel regarding the future after speaking to her for such a short period of time.

Joshua felt relieved as he walked out of the building with Hazel on one arm and Jennie on the other.

The cinema the movie was being shown at was not too busy because it was a weekday, but there was a section blocked for the bus to stop in front of the door. The children felt special when they arrived; there was also a treat bag waiting for each of them. Hazel felt the movie was not too bad, but the children seemed to really enjoy it.

When the movie was over, Hazel wanted to take the children to get something to eat. However, when they left the cinema, she noticed a woman wearing a hat in front of the crowd who kept looking back at them.

Hazel frowned when she realized who the woman was.

"Sharon," Hazel hastily said, "Can you take the children? I need to go to the bathroom."

Sharon wanted to say something, but Hazel had already begun chasing the woman. Seeing that Hazel was approaching her, the woman tried to hide in the crowd, but Hazel caught up with her.

Hazel took her by the wrist and pulled her to a nearby corner, and asked, "Susan, are you stalking me?"

"Who is stalking you?" Susan glared at her. She was wearing a pair of glasses, her face covered in a mask, ignoring Hazel's angry look.

"So why are you here?" Hazel turned on a poker face, "If I remember it correctly, you were in the same theater with us just now?"

"What about it?" Susan snarled, "Only you can watch a movie?"

"You can watch it for sure." Hazel's eyes sharpened. "But if you want to watch a movie, you should go to the city center. What are you doing in such a remote suburb?"

When she booked tickets with Joshua, she chose a cinema that was closer to the orphanage. But Susan's appearance here clearly indicated that she was deliberately tracking them.

Susan was a bit frustrated, but she suddenly smiled coldly. "Well, since you want to know why, then let me tell you. It's Joshua who invited me. Actually, he and I have been dating secretly!"

Hazel felt like a volcano that was ready to erupt. She said silently, "Susan, this is the first time I met someone who comes up with such bad excuses for stalking someone."

"You...you are deceiving yourself!" Susan stared at her in anger, but she was helpless.

The relationship between Joshua and Hazel had been very stable these days, which made her very uneasy. Plus, Mandy Wilson had been implying to her that maybe Joshua didn't have any feeling of her at all. How could she accept it? That's why she chose to stalk them in person.

"I think you are deceiving yourself. What did Joshua promise to you to make you think he had a crush on you?" Hazel was speechless.

Susan hurriedly explained, "I have a soul connection with him..."

"Alright, let me call him over. And let's settle this once and for all." Hazel sighed, she had very little patience left for Susan.

Susan was in a panic, and she didn't want to see Joshua at all. Although, she had decided that Joshua had a feeling for her, but... what if?

"Hazel!" Susan gritted, "How long do you think you can stay with Joshua? Look at the movie you invested in, only a few people were watching it! I wonder if Joshua would still like you if your investment becomes a total joke!"

Susan hit the jackpot. Although the movie's first reviews were not bad, she was really worrying.

She was not worried that Joshua would be mad at her because of this. But, if she really lost too much, she would doubt whether she had a talent in this field and whether she should continue.

Seeing that Hazel was distracted, Susan swiftly broke free and fled.

Hazel stood there just shaking her head, she didn't bother trying to catch Susan. She went to meet the children at the entrance of the cinema. Joshua was standing with them and quickly asked, "What happened?"

"When can we talk about it later," Hazel said. Susan had made her angry and frustrated, but she didn't want to ruin the time they spent with the children.

During lunch, the children were asking if they could go to the playground. Joshua and Hazel reluctantly agreed but took them to the most incredible playground they could find.

They arrived back at the orphanage late in the afternoon, all the children were asleep on the bus. Most of them mumbled thank you as they stumbled off the bus, and a few stopped to give a hug.

Joshua and Hazel left feeling good. It was dark when they pulled into the driveway at Denmark Residence. Hazel was tired but still very happy.

Sitting on the sofa, she couldn't help but take out her mobile phone and check the box office results for the opening day.

Joshua brought a glass of milk over and placed it in front of her. "Drink the milk and go to bed early."

Hazel answered yes in delight. But when she finished the milk, she looked somewhat unhappy.

"What's wrong?" Joshua sat down beside her.

Hazel sighed. She leaned on Joshua's shoulder and said with frustration, "I saw the box office results of the movie, not very good. And, a lot of people said that it would not be a problem to exceed 20 million today."

"Don't think so much," Joshua whispered to help her analyze.

"I saw today's share of showings for this movie. This movie had less than 10% of the share, which means the box office of 20 million is fine. Moreover, I compared several films released today. All other films have a bad reputation. Only this movie was well-received by critics. You have to trust the eyes of the masses. It will counterattack."

"...Well." Hazel smiled shallowly, "Thanks for comforting, and..."

Hazel straightened up and looked at him with a burning gaze.

"What?" Joshua was a little bit surprised.

"Joshua, do you have anything to tell me?" She suddenly said.

"Hmmm?" Joshua laughed. "Hazel, what am I doing wrong? Why do I feel you are waiting for me to take the initiative to confess something?"
