MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

Hazel couldn't help but become soft when she saw his eyes.

Because of the "three rules," even if Joshua wanted to do something more to her, he would try to restrain himself. But as he said, he was a normal man, he was in love with her, and she was included in his life plan. It wasn't normal for him to hug her and just sleep, right?

She knew he was struggling with temptation, so she shouldn't stay with him, but Hazel realized that she couldn't refuse any longer either and said, "Good…"

Joshua was caught off guard, he didn't expect her actually to agree.

He lifted her chin and asked thoughtfully, "Hazel, are you really Hazel?"

Hazel was ashamed and annoyed, she had finally broken through the mental barrier and was ready to break the rules to be with Joshua, but then he said that.

"No!" Hazel pushed him angrily. "I just regret what I said!"

Joshua hurriedly wrapped her waist from behind, "No, it is too late now."

"I don't care... Hey!" Hazel could not speak anymore.

Joshua leaned over, picked her up, and walked toward the bedroom...

***

Hazel was really in a dilemma about how to deal with the Flores family. She could not figure out Joshua's attitude towards them, and she could not bring it up in conversation with him either.

She was upset and couldn't sleep well, but Joshua seemed to be okay.

Fortunately, her company's development was very good. The shooting of Mathew's movie was running smoothly. He told Hazel that according to the progress of the movie, he could soon start shooting her online drama.

With his assurance, Hazel and Sharon had been working hard to prepare a plan for the online drama. They were going over the publicity plans for when Hazel's phone rang, it was Caroline.

Hazel couldn't help but wonder how Caroline find out her number?

She was not very happy when she met with the Flores family, so she didn't leave a phone number for them.

"Hazel, we encountered a little trouble. Please come over and help us solve it." Caroline sounded like a commander.

"What trouble?" Hazel couldn't help but frown.

"You will know when you come over." Caroline said impatiently, "I can't tell you details on the phone. Come here quickly. These people won't let us go!"

The situation seemed to be serious, Hazel had to go find out what was happening. Although she did not like the Flores family at all, they were not familiar with the city, and she could not let them be bullied by locals.

Hazel rushed to the address that Caroline sent her. But when she got there, she couldn't help but be annoyed.

Caroline and Lanny were at a store in the mall, they were sitting down, surrounded by a stack of bags full of merchandise.

Caroline said excitedly to Lanny, "How do you think about the ten more sets of clothes that I bought for you and Henry? And those twenty more skirts for myself were made with really comfortable skin-friendly material. I have never touched such a nice dress material in my life..."

"However, I think we bought too many?" Lanny frowned. "And they are too heavy to carry now."

"Too many my ass?" Caroline said. "We got the silly girl Hazel who'll help us to pay for them. She can manage to transport these things in a few runs. She has a car, remember? What are you pushing me for?"

Caroline was swinging her arms impatiently. While she was speaking happily, Lanny suddenly pushed her, which was ludicrous to her. Lanny pointed his index finger at her with an awkward expression, Caroline turned around impatiently and saw Hazel was standing at the door to the store.

Hazel looked at them unsympathetically, she had just heard every word they said.

Caroline put on a poker face, and she said with shame and anger, "What took you so long? Come help me pay the bills right now."

Hazel looked at them coldly. She was told to come over just to pay the bill for them, this family obviously just regarded her as a silly cash machine.

The clerk came over and looked at Hazel with amazement and then politely said, "Hello, madam, the lady, and gentleman here spent a total of 680,500 dollars in my store. Which way do you prefer to pay?"

Hazel was speechless for a moment, Caroline really didn't treat themselves as outsiders. They spent 680,000 dollars only on clothes, they probably just picked whatever was the most expensive.

"What are you waiting for?" Caroline urged her angrily. "Hurry up and pay the money. We have to go to find Henry. He just picked out a car. It's not expensive. He said it's only eight million. You need to hurry up now..."

Hazel was terrified. It seemed that they really misunderstood her and her generosity. She had to snap them back to reality quickly. 

"What are you talking about?" Hazel looked at them blankly. "I don't know you guys. Why should I pay for what you bought?"

As her sentence was finished, the whole store instantly fell into dead silence.

Lanny and Caroline looked at Hazel, astounded. They hadn't even thought of the possibility that Hazel would deny knowing them. After all, she showed up, so why would she do this?

The clerk looked stunned, she turned to Hazel with a doubting smile and asked, "Dear lady, you really don't know them?"

"I just got into the store, right? I didn't even have time to say anything. Why would you think I know these people?" Hazel frowned with a really ugly face.

"I just wanted to look at the clothes in your store. But the moment I came in, you asked me to pay for strangers' purchases. What the fuck is going on here?"

"Dear Miss, I am really sorry." The clerk hurriedly said, "There must be some misunderstanding..."

"Forget it, I'm done for shopping today." Hazel waved her hand, turned, and walked outside the door.

Caroline finally came out of her daze, she chased after Hazel and shouted, "Hazel! You dare to pretend you don't know me!"

Hazel was walking out of the store indifferently as if she heard nothing. Caroline and Lanny tried to chase her, but the clerk had already got the security guard to stop them both.

"This lady, you haven't paid yet. You can't leave!" The clerk looked very frustrated.

Caroline was even more annoyed. "You just let me go. I will get the woman back, and then I will pay!"

"She said she doesn't know you. Why would she want to pay for your clothes?" The clerk said impatiently, "If you don't have the money, we will be putting our clothes back!"
