MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

Many people gloated while watching the Carter family's fall from grace, but some wise people clearly saw that Hazel was not an easy target.

With only one meeting and a few words, Sophia was utterly changed to another person. Could Hazel be a simple woman? Some were hesitant, but more of them were rallying.

For a time, Hazel had so many "friends" that she was getting a headache. However, she knew that if she wanted to force the directors to face her directly, she had to defeat these women strikingly.

The woman closest to Hazel was a woman named Patty Hamilton. She had contacted Hazel several times, and she was even more difficult to deal with than Sophia. She was playing a different angle though, she wanted to be best friends with Hazel, but she clearly knew what Patty was plotting. However, Hazel ran out of methods, and Patty trapped her.

"What should I do with this one?" Hazel asked Joshua directly.

"The Hamilton family's condition is the worst among very few." Joshua said faintly, "So she will always be persistent. To neutralize Patty, the Hamilton family must be disconnected from Patty's financial resources."

Hazel found a corner to sit and think about it.

"Hazel, in fact, I can help you with this," Joshua said.

"Don't!" Hazel shook her head quickly, "My love rivals should be dealt with by me!"

Joshua was speechless. He used to want Hazel to be busy, but now he had some regrets. Was Hazel too devoted?

As Hazel was thinking about what to do, Patty called again to harass her. She invited Hazel to go shopping, Hazel hesitated for a moment, then smiled and agreed to meet her.

When she arrived to meet Patty, she was dressed simply, nothing too extravagant.

"Hazel, you are so beautiful today!" Patty flattered Hazel frankly.

Hazel smiled and did not say anything. Patty had a friendly look, while Hazel kept a poker face, but Patty didn't mind at all.

The two went shopping together. Hazel bought a lot of things. She wanted to persuade Patty to buy things, but Patty did not take the hook. Regardless of what Hazel bought, she praised Hazel's vision.

Hazel was completely powerless. She was not skilled in the war against another female-like Patty.

After Hazel spent a lot of money, they found a place to get a drink.

Patty couldn't help but ask, "Hazel, it's Master Joshua's birthday in a few days. What gift are you going to give him?"

Joshua's birthday was also in Patty's plan. She kept pleasing Hazel in order to inquire about Joshua's preferences. After all, others didn't understand what he liked or what he hated. If she could give Joshua a gift that he liked, she would definitely leave a good impression.

"Really? Is his birthday in a few days?" Hazel asked with a blank look.

Patty bit her lip. She wondered why Hazel didn't even know her own boyfriend's birthday, and she was the one who had to tell her. Patty was biting her tongue, not to say anything offensive.

"Yeah..." Already said, Patty couldn't change that. She could only ask, "Would you like to buy him a gift or something?"

Hazel breathed a sigh of relief. She guessed what Patty was thinking, and because of this, she suddenly had an idea.

"Let's go and pick up something. I should buy him a present now." Hazel said.

Patty was delighted. Hazel thought over and came to a name-brand watch franchise store. After entering the store, Hazel was somewhat surprised.

One of the clerks in the store was Susan's former assistant, Mandy Wilson. Hazel didn't expect her to find a new job so quickly.

"Hello ladies, what can I do for you?" Mandy asked politely.

Hazel perceived that Mandy didn't seem to want to chit chat with her, she could only cooperate. After all, it was during Mandy's working hours, and Hazel was afraid of upsetting her.

"I want to buy a gift for my boyfriend. If I get him a watch... is it okay?" Hazel frowned, as she didn't know anything about it.

"Sure." Mandy said, "If a girl gives her boyfriend a watch, she wants him to think about her all the time. It also reminds him that every minute someone is waiting for him."

Hazel shrugged, "Is this... too inappropriate?"

She was not used to the meanings carried by a watch.

"How could love be inappropriate when two people are together?" Mandy continued, "You would love that if you really care about each other. The most important thing is, as long as he likes the gift, isn't that a win-win situation?"

"You are right." Hazel nodded. "Take your new ones out, I'll pick one."

Mandy knew Hazel's identity, so she took out all the new models in the store and for her to pick up. Hazel took photos of the watches directly and sent a text message to Joshua asking, "Which one do you like?"

Patty was speechless. Hazel should surprise him with a birthday gift. How could she ask him which one he liked? And when the time arrived, there wouldn't be any surprises at all. What made her even more shocked was that.

Joshua had really picked one of them and replied back to Hazel.

"He said he likes this one." Hazel pointed to the middle one.

"Your boyfriend has a nice vision." Mandy said, "This watch is very stylish, and it's a limited edition. There are only five pieces of this model in the world. It's made of a platinum strap, a sapphire-polished lens, and the number of diamonds embedded on the watch is..."

"It's okay." Hazel asked directly, "How much do you say?"

"The price of this watch is eight million dollars," Mandy said.

"Eight million?" Hazel was amazed. This price really scared her.

"Yes..." Mandy replied blankly.

"No way. I'm not buying it. It's too expensive." Hazel shook her head.

"But Master Joshua likes it, right?" Patty suddenly said awkwardly and asked, "Why don't you ask him again for advice?"

"I think you should ask Master Joshua again." Patty urged, "If Master Joshua really likes it, won't you buy it for him? You have the money, right?"
