Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

"Yes, it was bought for me, and I've just had a mouthful of it," Ariel looked at her helplessly. "How are thirsty you?! You took it away before I could even tell you… Show me how much you drank."

Living in the same dorm room as Hazel, Ariel knew she had a very low tolerance for alcohol. Ariel grabbed the can in a hurry and didn't know what to say because Hazel had gulped half a can.

"Let's go back to the dorm, Hazel," said Ariel helplessly. According to Hazel's drinking capacity, she would definitely be drunk.

"I won't!" Hazel pushed her away, saying stubbornly, "I want to wait here."

"Come on..." Ariel wanted to cry but had no tears. Was Hazel already starting to show signs of being drunk?

"Don't worry, Ariel, I'm not drunk." Hazel held out her hand to touch her hot cheeks and turned around in a circle. "I'm better at drinking now. Behold!"

Ariel put her hand on the forehead helplessly. What's better? Hazel was clearly already drunk!

Those who had been watching Hazel seemed to notice this, and their taunts grew louder immediately.

"She's actually turning around in circles? I think she has to dance with herself since nobody asked her to dance!"

"Isn't she ashamed?! Look at her pretentious manner, I really thought Master Denmark would really want to come!"

"How could it be?! Who is Master Denmark? Why would he appear for such a woman?"

"I suspect someone intentionally wanted to draw attention before. Master Denmark is kind, afraid she would be too ashamed, so he took all the responsibility!"

Ariel's face turned red with anger as she listened to the arrogant discussion. However, Hazel's name wasn't mentioned, so she couldn't do anything.

"Hazel, let's go. Let's go back to..." She grabbed Hazel's hand and tried to take her away forcefully.

Hazel had already felt a little dizzy, so she staggered as Ariel jerked her.

"Ah..." She cried and was about to fall to the ground.

Suddenly, she was held by two steady arms. She blankly looked up and saw Joshua's deep eyes.

There was silence, then a loud gasp from the crowd. Everyone was waiting to see Hazel be stood up, and they never thought that Joshua would actually show up.

Surprised and pleased, Ariel quickly let go of Hazel's hand and stuttered with excitement. "Prince Charming, you did come!"

"Mm." Joshua nodded to her and then looked lovingly at Hazel in his arms, saying helplessly, "How could you be so careless?"

"Are you questioning me?" Hazel pouted unhappily. "I haven't asked you. Why are you so late?"

"Something happened to me…" he whispered.

She took him by the hand and led him to the middle of the dance floor before he could finish his sentence. "Stop it. Let's dance."

Joshua raised his eyebrows. Hazel had asked him a question, but she didn't want the answer — there was something wrong with her now.

He looked back at Ariel, who raised the can in her hand awkwardly.

His face darkened slightly. Was Hazel actually drunk?

Hazel's face was already flushed, and she put her hands on Joshua's waist.

"Put them here." He caught her hands and put them on his shoulders.

"Damn it!" She frowned unhappily, and suddenly she said angrily, "I won't dance!"

"Huh?" He cocked a quizzical eyebrow at her. Why did the girl suddenly flare-up? He was confused and lowered his head to coax her, "You can put your hands wherever you like."

"No, no!" She thrust him away in a fit of annoyance. She lifted her leg to kick, but her shoe flew off. There was a sudden silence in the square, and almost everyone looked in their direction.

They were very surprised to see Joshua arrive and he was actually trying to dance with Hazel. However, it never occurred to them that Hazel would dare to throw a tantrum and kick her shoe off.

Did she dare to be so arrogant?!

The female students who had been waiting to see her meltdown were jealous and excited. Hazel dared to cause trouble like this, Joshua would definitely be angry. He had better dump this kind of woman immediately.

Joshua sighed helplessly. Just as everyone expected him to lose his temper, he turned around and walked into the crowd.

Did he plan to leave?

Although some people felt a little sorry for Hazel, they could not help but gloat. They couldn't see Joshua lose his temper, but at least they could see Hazel get dumped… No! Why did Joshua stop suddenly?

He was stopping in front of Hazel's shoe?!

All the people watched the scene with disbelief — Joshua calmly bent over and picked up Hazel's shoe.

He took the shoe and walked to Hazel. She tilted her head as if she had discovered something funny. Suddenly, she chuckled and kicked the other shoe in the other direction.

Everyone thought that she went too far. They were all holding their breath. Hazel Crowe was clearly playing Joshua Denmark for a fool.

Joshua's face darkened. Was she actually enjoying playing like this? For the sake of her being drunk, he wouldn't take it seriously. But when she woke up and knew what she had done in front of so many people, she would very likely be too ashamed to show her face on campus.

He turned around and picked up the other shoe.

People were annoyed and puzzled. Why was Joshua so good-tempered?

Hazel went too far, so he should be getting angry. But he not only picked up one shoe for her but also picked up the other.

Joshua came to Hazel with two shoes. He knelt down on one knee, with everyone watching in disbelief.

"Hazel, lift your feet," he said gently.

In an instant, everyone felt heartbroken. How could Joshua do that? He actually helped Hazel put her shoes on himself.

Hazel looked down at Joshua, her eyes a little misty. She was totally drunk. Dazed, she was trying to lift her foot, but she seemed to have no control over her legs, and she did not know if she should hold out the left or the right foot.

The next moment, she moved both her feet, stumbling over herself carelessly.

"Oh, my…" She screamed, almost falling over.

Joshua put his arms out to catch her. "Look out!"

After she stood stable, he sighed helplessly, took her hand, and sat her down on his lap.

He put a hand around her waist and put her shoes on with the other. "Be good. Lift another foot."

Hazel obediently lifted her foot, allowing him to put a shoe on.

How could this be happening? The girls nearby almost cried with anger. Hazel was really scheming! She must have fallen over on purpose!
