Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Hazel fussed over the mirror, looking intoxicated. "How can I be so handsome?! I am so mesmerized by myself!"

Summer and Ariel's faces darkened instantly. They grabbed the mirror in her hand. The three of them laughed and joked for a while before going to the classroom.

When she got to the classroom, Hazel naturally caused a stir. Their gender-inverted maid's cafe, as it were, attracted plenty of attention.

People were constantly coming and going.

Though many of the girls came to see the maids, most of them came to take photos with Hazel. Finally, the maids got so angry with Hazel that they asked her to work backstage.

Backstage, she just helped make coffee and was more relaxed. She took a break, and when she came back, she heard someone call to her, "Hazel, table eight is here for you!"

She was a little surprised. Who was looking for her?

When she went to Table 8, she was speechless. Derek was sitting at the table waiting for her.

Derek had not been around she began dating Joshua, so why did he want to see her now?

She spun around and was ready to leave as she didn't want to speak to him. Before she could leave, though, Derek tugged on her sleeve, "Ele, Hazel?"

She was stuck and had to ask, "What do you need, guest?"

His eyes flashed with a touch of desire. "I need you…"

She moved her fingers a little and looked at him with a vague smile. "What did you say?"

"Uh..." Derek suddenly became a wuss as he was guilty. "I need you to sit down and talk with me for a while."

She frowned. Derek was a guest now. She didn't want to make a scene.

"About what?" She sat opposite him.

"That…" Derek's eyes sparkled with surprise. "You look very handsome in the outfit."

"I know that. You don't have to remind me," she said quietly.

He was helpless. He was complimenting Hazel. Why did Hazel consider it as a reminder? He didn't expect Hazel would be so… narcissistic.

"Hazel Crowe," he took a deep breath and said with some trepidation, "I'm single now…"

"I see," she said indifferently, "but we don't offer emotional chatting here. If you want to talk about it, go somewhere else."

"I would like to invite you to be my partner!" He hastened to say as he reached out his hand a little anxiously to grasp her wrist.

Her eyes became cold, and she dodged quickly before she pressed his hand on the table with a backhand. "What gave you the courage to invite me to be your dancing partner? Did you think I would agree to it?"

He withdrew his hand in pain. He had been so anxious that he forgot that Hazel wasn't easy-going at all.

His face became red instantly, and he said with shame and anger, "You would not be invited anyway! So, I am reluctant even to invite you; you are so pathetic. After all, you will be graduating soon, and I was just offering you a chance to show off."

She was taken aback. She was really desperate to beat this guy, but this occasion wasn't suitable for that. She took a deep breath and said, half grinning, "Alright, but I have a condition."

"What is it?" He looked pleased immediately.

A smile curved her lips. "I'm going to wear this tonight, and I lack a female partner. You may wear a dress."

"You...!" He was furious that Hazel asked him to wear a dress. She disagreed with his invitation, but she was obviously deceiving him.

He was flared up. "What are you so proud of, Hazel?! Do you think there's someone wanting to invite you to dance since you had an affair with Joshua… that man? I don't want you to be a laughing stock, that's why I want to help you out! Don't be so ungrateful!"

She understood suddenly. The gossip about her and Joshua had been talked about around school, but Joshua stated that there was no relationship at the press conference.

After that, although Vanessa had a fierce quarrel with her, she did not reveal her identity. Besides, Joshua acted quickly to delete all the news related to her online. In the eyes of her classmates, she just had an affair with Joshua and was "dumped."

Considering her past "fame," those who wanted to invite her, of course, had to wonder if they were going to be criticized or worshiped.

"Who says I can't get a dancing partner?" Hazel's mouth tilted slightly upward mockingly. Then she stood up suddenly and reached out her hand to a girl next to her like a gentleman. "Would you like to be my dancing partner for the evening, my pretty lady?"

"I would, I would!"

"Me, me!"

The cheeks of a few girls turned red as they scrambled to reply.

Mockingly, Hazel looked at Derek, whose face turned purple with anger. He let out a snort and left.

After he left, Hazel consoled the girls. Seeing that she was trying to hook up with others, a few boys consulted and kicked her out, not allowing her to stay even backstage.

Hazel wasn't too worried about it; she went back to her dorm room to change her clothes, planning to walk around in the school.

But hardly had she walked out of the dorm room when a figure stopped her. "Hazel Crowe."

Hazel couldn't help but frown.

Was it a special day except for the school anniversary today? How did two men find her and bother her within an hour? It was Henry Flores standing in front of her. How did he find her at school?

"What do you want?" asked Hazel indifferently.

Henry said with an attitude that he thought was very handsome. "I hear it's the anniversary of your school today. Show me around."

Hazel's lips twitched as she calmly walked past him. "I'm busy. Go yourself."

"You'd better not say no. You might regret it." He sneered. "I'll show you something before you decide."

She stopped in surprise. Did Henry mean to threaten her?

"Okay, let me see what you're going to threaten me with." She looked at him with a faint smile, her arms folded.

"You're a smart, sensible woman." He chuckled. He took out his phone and showed a few photos in front of her. "I was just walking around your school, and I found this very interesting scene. If I showed them to Joshua Denmark, do you think he would be angry?"

When her eyes fell on the photos, they turned a little darker.
