Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

"I am not asking you to confess anything..." Hazel was somewhat hesitant. She just wanted to ask, what happened in the past?

Joshua never mentioned it to her, she didn't dare to bring it up. Although she didn't know what happened before, she felt it was a painful memory. She wanted to know everything about Joshua, but she didn't want him to feel hurt in any way.

Joshua frowned slightly. He seemed to perceive Hazel's hesitation.

"Hazel, you can ask me directly if there's anything," Joshua said earnestly. "There are no secrets between us."

Hazel was very touched. She smiled and took Joshua's hand. "Joshua, I said that I would stay with you. No matter what you encountered before or after, you can talk to me about it! If you don't want to talk, it doesn't matter, I will wait until the day you are willing to speak."

Joshua was more confused. Did he really do something wrong to Hazel? Why did she sound like she was waiting for him to confess?

"Is it... When you met Susan today, what did she say to you?"

"No..." Hazel felt depressed and strange, "I did meet her, but I don't believe what she said. Don't think about it."

This made Joshua even more baffled. He really couldn't remember what he did.

"Hey, forget it. Please give me a massage. I'm so tired." Hazel smiled and leaned in his arms.

"Good." Joshua tenderly promised.

Hazel relaxed and forgot about the movie and the box office.

***

The momentum of the movie surprised Hazel.

Maybe it was powered by the prediction of Joshua. Still, even though the movie barely made past 20 million on the first day, the box office soared to 35 million on the second day without increasing the share of showings in theaters nationwide. On the third day, it actually hit 50 million!

Hazel had always been concerned about the box office, and this rising momentum really shocked her. She knew that this investment was a great success, and she was lucky to receive such a good return on her first investment.

Hazel felt like she was flying high.

The popularity of the movie, of course, also attracted the attention of the media. The media began to interview the film director Danny Hall.

Danny talked to the media about the film's production process, the pain of several investors withdrawing support. Until one month before the release, they barely managed to pull off sufficient investment for publicity and release of the movie.

The media became more interested and began questioning who the investor was, which made it all possible. Because Hazel had talked to him, Danny did not disclose any information about Hazel in front of the media except for her gender. In turn, that made the media even more interested in her identity, she became known as the "mysterious woman with a vision."

This title made Hazel happy, she searched all the news about the "mysterious woman" and read each article with glee.

Of course, Joshua read the news about her and felt as good as she did. After all, he liked to see others praise his future wife, and Hazel's talent really impressed him.

Susan was not as happy, she had been watching the box office results as well. She ridiculed Hazel on the first day, but the development left her astonished. She had not expected the movie to be successful.

The media reports were even more of a touchy subject for her. She was panicked, thinking if Hazel had a business vision, Joshua would become more and more obsessed with her.

If that happened, then her chances would be even smaller. She knew she had to make a move, and it had to be a serious one.

She took out her phone and called Richard.

***

Hazel was leaving class and about to go to Joshua-Hazel Pictures when she was stopped by two men in black suits at the university entrance.

"Miss Crowe, our young master wants to see you. Please take a walk with us." One of them said coldly.

"Who is your young master?" Hazel frowned.

"You will find out when we get there." The man said coldly and opened the car door behind him. "Please get in the car."

Hazel crossed her arms in front of her chest and said unpleasantly, "No, I'm afraid I have other business to attend to."

"Miss Crowe, you need to see the situation clearly. Think about your family, your friends. You don't want to involve them in this, right?"

Hazel's pupils suddenly shrank. It was the first time someone dared to threaten her family and friends! She clenched her fists, and a touch of coldness flashed in her eyes.

The two seemed to have figured out what Hazel was going to do, and the man suddenly said, "Miss Crowe, we know that you are well trained in CQC, but your roommates are not. If you don't cooperate, then we will have to ask them to come with us!"

Hazel's face turned grim, it seemed that she had no choice but to go with them. She put her hand in her pocket and to dial her phone, but one of the men noticed.

"Miss Crowe, please take out your mobile phone. You don't want to play tricks with us!" The man said coldly again.

Hazel was terrified, she took out her phone and handed it to him. It appeared that they were well prepared, and she had no other options left.

The man turned off Hazel's phone so that she could not be tracked. Hazel had to get in the car, she was full of doubts. Who was the "Young Master" who asked her to go?

The car sped through the streets, and after twenty minutes, it stopped in front of a villa. Hazel was escorted out of the car, she looked around and at the villa but still had no idea where she was or what was happening.

Hazel was sure she had never been there before.

"Get in!" The two men shouted.

Hazel frowned and hesitantly walked into the villa.
