Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 771 - 59: A Human Pillow

"A human pillow that can tuck you in. Is it comfortable to hold, huh?" he asked, his eyes flashing with amusement.

Hazel could roughly guess what had happened, and she was extremely ashamed.

Looking at her blush cheeks, Joshua suddenly spoke, "Hazel."

"Huh?" She looked at him blankly.

"Let's be together," he said seriously.

Now that she felt she didn't like him enough to get married, they could start with a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship.

She just felt her heartbeat quickening.

Although she only confessed she liked him when she was drunk, she did like him deep down her heart.

"Why? You like me, but you're afraid of falling in love with me?" He chuckled.

"Who says I'm afraid?" she flashed out.

But the next moment, she was full of regret. Why did she fall for his trick when he provoked her?

"Hmm," he said, his eyes flashing. "I'll be your boyfriend from now on."

She suddenly felt her heart flutter. Was that how it feels to be in love with someone?

But she felt like something serious would happen if they stayed in their current position.

"Well, I'm hungry…" She turned her head around shyly.

"Hazel Crowe," he was astonished, "Is your reaction a yes?"

She was in a daze for a while and then more ashamed and aggravated. "I mean, I'm starving! What are you thinking?"

"I see." Joshua smiled quietly and kissed her on the forehead. "Get up, I'll take you to breakfast."

She held the quilt and secretly watched Joshua change his clothes.

His figure was really awesome, with the perfect beautiful six-pack abdominal muscles. She looked at him so closely that he was like a walking aphrodisiac to her. Too tempting!

Out of the corner of his eye, Joshua saw her little blushed face, then suddenly turned around. "If you want to watch me, just watch."

"I didn't want to watch you!" Like an ostrich, she ducked into the quilt shyly. "Get out of here!"

He smiled but did not continue to tease her.

After both of them changed clothes and washed, Joshua took Hazel by the hand and went downstairs together.

Hazel's heart kept leaping, but she didn't resist.

Downstairs, Nanny Carter looked at the couple with questioning eyes, which made her cheeks very hot.

"Hazel, have you had a lot of classes lately?" Joshua asked.

"Not much. There are very few classes in senior year," she replied.

"Come to my office and be my secretary," he said softly.

Being a secretary was not his real purpose. He just wanted to spend more time with her. Hazel said she didn't like him enough, so he figured they should develop their relationship so she would like him more.

"Huh?" She looked at him, wondering. "Don't you already have a secretary?"

"She was fired."

Hazel was tongue-tied instantly. After all, Janet Flores was fired because of her.

"Rest assured. There is no difficult work, and you will not be late in your daily class," he said quietly.

She was struggling.

Although she agreed to be with Joshua, she was a little worried about being his secretary.

She wasn't worried about what he would do to her. Jaxson once said, what Joshua hated most was office romance. Although they had established a relationship, she believed he wouldn't do anything out of line.

What worried her was, she's not competent.

"Aren't you afraid I'll make things worse?" she asked in a low voice.

"Are you losing confidence?" A smile curved his lips.

"Who says I'm losing confidence!" She swore. "I'll show you what it means to be smart and capable!"

His eyes flickering, and he retorted naughtily, "It doesn't matter whether you're smart or not. Your 'capability of sex' what matters most."

"What? How could you...! JOSHUA DENMARK!" She gritted her teeth in shame.

Suddenly, she was stunned and felt depressed somehow.

How could she be so careless as to walk straight into Joshua's trap?

"I'm full." She put down her fork in shame.

"Really?" he asked.

"Well, I'm leaving. I have classes today," she said.

"I'll get you back." His mouth tilted upwards slightly at the corners. This girl was shy again.

She didn't refuse, but she suddenly stopped him when the car was close to Quantum University.

"Let's stop here." She looked around to make sure no one was passing before she pushed the door open.

"Hazel," Joshua said, his eyes dimming slightly as he caught her wrist, "are you not going to disclose our relationship? Am I so bad?"

"No," she said, laughing as she realized what he was angry about. "It's not the right time to expose our relationship. If you show up at school with me now, I don't think I could go back to school anymore."

A sudden realization hit him.

He only showed up at Quantum University yesterday and was "invited" to attend the Celebrity Lecture. If he and Hazel were to appear together at Quantum University today, it would surely cause another explosion of public opinion.

He could avoid the press, but it would indeed bring trouble to her.

"So, you're going to hide me all the time?" He frowned.

"At least until I graduate," she whispered. "Besides, we may not be able to get through until my graduation…"

"What?!" His face darkened.

He heard something from Hazel's words. Did this girl have no faith in him? She actually thought they would break up before her graduation?!

She coughed and quickly said. "Just kidding. I'm leaving…"

Suddenly, Joshua put his hand around her tiny waist. She looked back in surprise, but his lips had covered hers.

Hazel was a bit shy and powerless, redness creeping up her cheeks.

After that, Joshua looked at her with deep eyes.

"Hazel," he whispered, "I promise you I will cooperate with you and keep our relationship secret until you graduate. But even if you graduate, we won't break up, okay!"

Her heart was pounding in her chest as she jumped out of the car as if she was escaping.

On the way back to the dormitory, her cheeks were blushing as she recalled Joshua's sincere words.

"Hazel, where were you?" Ariel asked solemnly.

She was stunned to be asked this and did not know how to answer.

"I..." She bit her lip, thinking.

"Do you know how worried we were about you last night?" Summer gritted her teeth.

"Didn't I text you that I was out for a walk?" Hazel said, feeling a pang of guilt.

"You have the nerve to say that!" Summer said angrily."Is it the same thing to go for a walk as it is to stay out all night? We almost called the police, you know?!"

Deeply moved and guilty, Hazel asked with a little embarrassment, "Did you bother the cops?"
