Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 1037 - 325: I Know That Man

"Do you mean Mandy?" Hazel was in a daze and told Joshua all about how she met Mandy.

She continued, "… I think she was repeatedly bullied because of me, so I wanted to help her... In fact, she is quite capable and kind. She helped me a lot this time. Besides, she is more careful than I am. She also took all the materials home with her just now so that she didn't have to worry other people would do something bad, such as stealing my plan…"

Joshua pressed his thin lips slightly as his eyes flashed with dim light. "Don't you think there's something strange about her emergence?"

"Strange?" She frowned in astonishment and looked at Joshua in surprise. "Are you doubting something? Because she used to be Susan's assistant, do you think there would be some kind of conspiracy as to why she came to me suddenly?"

Joshua looked calmly ahead and did not open his mouth.

"I don't think so…" She was a little shocked and didn't want to doubt Mandy.

"As always, I just want you to be careful," Joshua said, gave her a quiet look. "You're just too kind to be defensive."

She said reluctantly, "Okay, I'll keep an eye on it... Still, I don't think that there is anything wrong with her."

Joshua didn't say anything else because he didn't want to upset Hazel over other people. The car moved smoothly as Hazel looked out of the window, a little bored and off in her own world, but suddenly her head perked up.

"Stop the car!"

"What is the matter?" asked Joshua as he pulled over.

She opened the door and got out, she looked back at a broken-down car. There was a thin man next to it, looking extremely frustrated.

"I know that man," she said and walked over.

"Director Livingston?" she shouted in surprise.

Chris looked like a cat on hot bricks, out of the corner of his eye, he saw someone approaching him. When he turned to see who had called his name, he immediately looked embarrassed.

Joshua also came over, then gave a quiet glance at Chris. "Was he the one who gave you a hard time this morning?"

"Don't say that. It has nothing to do with this." Hazel gave him a nudge helplessly.

Hearing this, Chris turned pale. Besides, Joshua looked so handsome and dignified and showed good manners all the time. Obviously, he was someone very important. The look on Chris's face suddenly became more subtle because he thought the rumors turned out to be true…

"What's the matter? Did your car break down?" Hazel asked.

"Yes," he replied unkindly.

"Have you called a tow truck?" she continued asking.

"... My cell phone is dead." He looked away awkwardly.

"Oh, oh, you're really unlucky," she said.

His face turned extremely unsightly instantly.

"But luckily, I saw you," she said with a chuckle. "Otherwise, it would have been very likely that you would have had to spend the night in this remote area."

He unintentionally tried to retort, but Hazel was right. It was really late, and there were very few vehicles going back and forth.

"Doesn't the coffee factory have employee dormitories?" Joshua asked simply, "Why are you heading to the imperial capital at this time, Mr. Livingston?"

Chris was very unhappy. He didn't know Joshua or his identity, but he hated his inquisitorial attitude.

"Yeah, yeah," asked Hazel. "I'm very curious, too."

Chris was in a daze. There was a flash of anger in his eyes before he finally said reluctantly, "My mom lives in the imperial capital. Something happened at home, so she asked me to go home."

Joshua's eyes were cold. Chris had been condescending when he answered the question, and Joshua felt hostile. But when Hazel asked him, he replied even if he was angry.

Chris was as young as he was and was a clean-cut nerd or workaholic. He could tell that Chris was unmarried and probably didn't have a girlfriend.

Joshua's eyes fell on Hazel. It was indeed easy for her to get him into trouble.

Was she liked by a man within one day after she arrived at the factory? Besides, it was the man who had argued with her. While Chris may not have found his affection at the moment, Hazel had to work with him for three months. He didn't want to give the man three months to develop his relationship with Hazel.

"Oh, that's really urgent," Hazel said in a state of unawareness. "Well, let me call the tow truck for you first. You can get in our car and drive with us."

Joshua's eyes were cold. He really thought that Hazel had no clue and was completely na?ve. Did she want him to have a rival?

"Okay..." Before Chris could finish the sentence, Joshua said quietly, "Let me have a look."

After that, he went to the front of the car and opened the hood.

"Can you fix it? Can you fix it?" asked Hazel curiously.

He looked at him calmly. "Yes, I think I know what's wrong."

"Joshua Den.. Joshua… you're really awesome!" She chuckled and bit her tongue. She was so happy that she almost called Joshua by his full name.

The intimacy between the two made Chris feel rather unhappy.

"Won't it be too troublesome?" He reluctantly said, "My car is hard to fix. If it's too troublesome, don't bother. Just call a tow truck for me, please."

Joshua looked at him with a faint smile before saying quietly, "Give me ten minutes. If I can't fix it, I'll buy you a new one."

Chris was even unhappier. He felt like Joshua got the better of him again for some reason. Joshua's words made him look unreasonable, as if he would deliberately demand a new car from him. Besides, he really hated Joshua when he seemed to gloat about his deep pockets. Compared to Joshua, he seemed…too inferior.

Hazel fetched Joshua's toolkit out of the car's trunk while Joshua took off his suit jacket and rolled up his sleeves. He methodically took out tools and quietly began repairing the car. As Hazel stood next to him, kept asking a very basic question, he kept explaining it patiently.

"Joshua, you're so knowledgeable!" she exclaimed. "I really wonder if there is anything you cannot do!"
