MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

Chris suddenly lowered his head disappointedly. Although Hazel was praising him, the praises were only an evaluation of his work from his boss. What he wanted to hear was something personal that had nothing to do with the work.

The person who asked the question was also anxious. In fact, most of them could read Chris's mind and cooperate with him when he suggested the party. They were trying to help him by asking questions.

"Manager Crowe, I am asking about Chris" the man continued to smile and asked, "Don't you think that our director is very handsome? And he is successful too!"

"Yes," Hazel didn't think much of it, she just smiled and nodded. "You are right."

Everyone thought that Chris had a chance with Hazel, she had not rejected him. They all started praising him.

"In fact, the director is also very nice. He treated everyone politely."

"And he is also very responsible and very devoted."

"His income is very good. He has already bought his own house and car. His parents are also very open-minded and nice."

Listening to everyone's ridiculous praises about Chris, Hazel felt that something was wrong, even as imperceptive as she was. Although, she still did not quite understand why they were suddenly praising Chris.

She listened, smiled, and nodded. "Yes, he is pretty good..."

Chris felt shy and happy seeing that she had no objection. He sat next to Hazel and lowered his head embarrassedly.

Hazel couldn't help but said in a low voice, "Director Livingston, do you have any difficulties?"

"Ah?" Chris looked at her in the blank.

"If you have any difficulties in your life, you can tell me. The company will help you to solve them." Hazel said seriously.

"...ah?" Chris was completely at a loss. Suddenly, he looked at Hazel's serious look, and some understood. Oh no! Hazel thought that he used such a euphemistic method because he had encountered difficulties and was embarrassed to speak out?

When Chris didn't know how to explain it, suddenly a person teased,

"Hey, what are you two whispering behind us? You two really have a good relationship!"

Seeing Hazel preparing to explain, Chris said with anxiousness, "No, nothing!"

"That, Manager Crowe..." one of them said, "You see our director is very nice and he works hard. He is working with you overtime during this time until late at night. We all see it. If you think he is also very good, it is better..."

Before he could finish his sentence, there was a sudden noise at the door of the auditorium. The crowd stopped talking, and they looked back at the door.

Joshua walked in. He was dressed in a sapphire blue suit. He was standing tall and looked so handsome that nobody could take their eyes off of him. All of this, along with his cold disposition, left people in awe.

Chris's face suddenly became pale. He had not seen Joshua at the factory, so he thought that there was nothing going on between him and Hazel. But why would Joshua show up at her party?

With everyone watching him, Joshua smiled and walked toward Hazel.

She was so surprised. She never thought that Joshua would actually show up. She quickly got up and walked to meet him. 

"Why did you come?" Hazel asked in a low voice, " Didn't I say to you that you didn't come to pick me up too early?"

"I am not here to pick you up," Joshua said. "This was a celebration party for you. Of course, I am here to help you celebrate. What? I am not welcomed,"

"...Welcome, welcome, how can you not welcome?" Hazel asked in a low voice, "There should be no one who knows you?"

Since Joshua had shown up, she would not drive him away. She was worried that someone would recognize him, which would be trouble.

"I came here five years ago," Joshua said. "I was only here for one day. People who had seen me may not remember me."

"I hope so..." said Hazel.

Seeing Hazel actually took the initiative to meet the man and talked very happily, everyone changed their facial expressions. Some sympathetically looked at Chris.

"That man was handsome... God, I feel he is even more handsome than the movie star!"

"Yeah, Manager Crowe standing next to him was like his girlfriend! They shouldn't be lovers?"

Listening to everyone's discussion, Chris was upset. He thought that he wasn't bad, but he seemed to be completely defeated when he met Joshua. He felt extremely inferior.

While they were talking, Hazel walked to the table with Joshua.

"Manager, this is..." Someone couldn't help but ask.

"He is my boyfriend; his last name is Denmark." Hazel smiled. She did not intend to conceal it, but she also did not intend to give them too much information.

Everyone was a little embarrassed, they just wanted to set Hazel and Joshua up. Fortunately, they had not voiced their plan out loud, otherwise, Chris would not have been able to face Hazel.

Someone pulled a chair over for Joshua, he politely thanked him and then moved the chair in between Hazel and Chris. He said, "Please let me in."

Everyone looked at Chris. Regardless of whether Joshua was intentional or not with his actions, they seemed to be very forward.

"It's okay, we can just sit together." Seeing Chris seemed to be unwilling to move, Hazel hurried to say.

Chris reluctantly moved to the side.

"Right, what did you want to say?" Hazel then asked.

"No, nothing..." The crowd was suddenly embarrassed. Can they tell Hazel that they wanted to set her up with Chris? Hazel's boyfriend could choose between because if they said anything, it would only cause trouble.

"You don't have to worry too much about me." Joshua said, "If there is anything you want to talk to Hazel about, you can continue."

Everyone was even more embarrassed. They began to talk about other things.

"Were you discussing something that I can't hear about?" Joshua smiled. "Sorry, I am abrupt."

"What?" Hazel said quickly. "They were just praising the director!"

"Oh?" Joshua lifted his eyebrows slightly and glanced at the crowd.

Obviously, they were exceptionally gentle eyes, but everyone felt chills run down their spine. 

"I think..." Joshua's eyes were shining. "You are just enthusiastic about helping the director find a girlfriend!"
