Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

The pain in her feet worsened, and her eyes turned red as she felt aggrieved.

The door opened, and Joshua walked in.

When he saw Hazel sitting on the floor, he strode over to her in a hurry and quickly picked her up. "Honey, what\'s the matter?"

She looked at him in astonishment, surrounded by a familiar aura. She wanted to laugh, but her tears rolled down from her cheeks uncontrollably.

"Why are you crying?" Joshua was more flustered. He wiped her tears away. "Are you hurt? Tell me which part hurts?"

Looking at his nervous expression, she felt both amused and guilty. She quickly shook her head and sobbed, "I, I thought you left..."

The moment when she did not touch Joshua, she did think so. She thought Joshua didn\'t want her to go on a business trip with her, so he secretly left her alone.

Even if he did leave like that, it wouldn\'t be a big deal. However, Hazel had been feeling uneasy for some reason these days. Clearly, Joshua was always by her side, and her every day was full of happiness, but she still felt upset somehow.

Especially when facing Joshua, she always had the illusion that he who was clearly in front of her seemed to be far away from her, as if he would vanish at any time.

Hazel couldn\'t understand why she had such strange thoughts. That was also why she was so panic-stricken when she couldn\'t find Joshua. For a moment, she even thought she would never see him again.

"... Fine, fine, don\'t worry, I won\'t leave you alone." He gently patted her back, and his heart was very soft.

He had never intended to leave without Hazel directly. From Hazel\'s point of view, he was just on a business trip, so if he left without saying goodbye, wouldn\'t that be suspicious?

Seeing her crying so sadly, he was very remorseful. He should have slept by her side, waiting for her to wake up.

Hazel wiped her tears and suddenly felt that she was funny. She was unreasonable to cry over something like this.

"Do you hurt?" he asked again.

"It seems I sprained my foot, but it\'s not serious. If I rub it, it\'ll be all right," she said.

"Mmm." He calmly crouched down, getting down on one knee, and took her tiny foot in his hand.

A searing heat came from her ankle, and she felt a sudden rush of warmth. She unconsciously tried to withdraw her leg.

"Don\'t move," he whispered.

"Oh." She obediently let him rub her ankle gently. Looking at Joshua kneeling in front of her, she felt sweet and warm.

"Didn\'t you say you were going on a business trip today?" She opened her mouth, a little guilty.

"I changed it until this afternoon," he explained in a low voice. "I am not reassured until you wake up."

She felt even more guilty. Joshua had always been very self-disciplined, but he had made too many exceptions for her since he was with her. But she hadn\'t done anything for him. She was really too toughless.

"Just go on your business trip. I will obediently stay in Denmark Group and let the shareholders know my awesomeness," she said quickly.

Joshua froze. The next moment, he slightly shook his head, "Don\'t worry. The business trip is not urgent. I can wait until your injury gets well..."

"Alas, my injury is not serious at all," she spoke like a spoiled girl, "If you do not go on your business trip because of this trifle, doesn\'t that mean that I make you irresponsible?"

"You\'re hurt. It\'s not a trifle." He insisted on.

"I\'m really fine!" She stood up suddenly. To prove that, she walked back and forth across the room, "Look, I\'m fine... ah!"

Before she could finish the sentence, he picked her up by the waist.

He gave her a light spank on her bottom. "You don\'t behave yourself when you\'re hurt. Do you want the wound to get worse, huh?"

"No, I don\'t..." She looked at him, aggrieved.

Ignoring her words, he laid her down on the bed and continued to rub her ankle. He directly called the personal doctor over. He wasn\'t relieved until the doctor said she was okay.

"Just go, hurry to leave…." She kept urging him to leave.

He was helpless. Clearly, yesterday she was so loath to part with him, but today she began to drive him away.

"Are you really okay?" he asked anxiously.

"Of course, of course. There are so many people in the house. I\'ll be okay!" She guaranteed.

She even had a servant pack his things for him as if she wanted to drive him away.

He had no choice but to obey her.

But when he walked to the car, she walked out to see him off and couldn\'t help but feel sad as she looked at his back.

"Joshua!"

She suddenly ran over and embraced him from behind.

Somehow it seemed to her that she would not be able to see him for a long time.

"Hazel?" He slightly stiffened.

"Come back as early as possible. I\'ll miss you," she said softly.

"Mm," he promised, nodding, "I\'ll definitely be back."

He got into the car and left. Somehow, she felt empty inside. Without him around, she seemed to lose goals and motivation.

No, she couldn\'t hinder him.

After thinking it over, she went straight to Denmark Group, following Joshua\'s instructions.

When she arrived at Denmark Group, Jaxson, who got the news, immediately came out to meet her. Besides, he brought a wheelchair.

She was surprised. "Jaxson, do you need to do that? Do you think I\'m a cripple?"

"It\'s Mr. President\'s order," Jaxson explained. "He said you got hurt and asked us to take care of you. He told me to prepare the wheelchair, and the doctor is already waiting for you in the office."

"..." She was completely speechless. Did Joshua intend to spoil her into a disabled person? But he did it all out of kindness and care, so she could not refuse.

Although Hazel was now the real owner of Denmark Group, she shared an office with Joshua.

After arriving at the office and being examined by the doctor, Jaxson gave Hazel some information about Denmark Group as she requested.

Hazel complained helplessly, "Did you see the doctor\'s face? He almost wrote \'you\'re just kidding me\' right on his face!"
