Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 900 - 188: Cook For Him

"I come straight home after I got off work," Joshua said blandly. Of course, he certainly would not give Nanny Carter away.

Joshua looked past Hazel but said nothing. He calmly walked up to Hazel.

Hazel asked nervously, "What do you want to do?"

Joshua leaned over to kiss her on the lips, and there was complete confusion in her clear eyes. The next moment, his hand circled her waist, deepening the kiss.

The lingering kiss made Hazel even more confused. Suddenly, Joshua picked her up and spun around.

Something struck her suddenly, and she pushed him away hurriedly. "You..."

Now Joshua had seen her "work." Hazel was both nervous and upset. Joshua actually threw her off her guard with a kiss.

"Did you do it?" Joshua looked at the spaghetti in front of him. Judging from the appearance... it looked good. But the whole kitchen was a mess as if a bomb had hit it, so it was no wonder that Nanny Carter would call him back frantically.

"Laugh if you want," said Hazel aggrievedly. "This is my only successful work…"

In fact, she also made other things, but they all failed, and why the kitchen was such a mess.

Joshua picked up a fork. Hazel opened her eyes and snatched it away.

"Are you going to let me use my hands?" There was a touch of frustration on his face.

Hazel felt embarrassed. She didn't mean it like that.

She said nervously, "It's the first time I made it. It wasn't necessarily delicious…"

"Delicious or not, I'll know by taste." Joshua smiled. Then he took the fork from Hazel's hand.

Hazel's face was filled with dread as if she was about to be hung. She tried to relax. After all, she made it for him, he would need to try it.

Joshua tasted an egg, he had a strange look on his face, but he smiled.

"Is it delicious?" asked Hazel nervously.

"Mm," Joshua nodded, "it's very crisp."

How could eggs be described as crisp? It suddenly occurred to Hazel that many of the shells had fallen into the eggs.

She was so embarrassed that she couldn't help saying, "I took out all the eggshells… Forget it. Don't eat it."

Distressed, she tried to grab the fork, but Joshua raised his hand up. "It doesn't matter. I will consider it calcium supplements."

She had been a little sad, but this sentence made her laugh.

Seeing Joshua still wanted to continue, she smiled as she grabbed him. "Don't eat anymore. What if something happens to you?"

"It's the first time that you have cooked for me, Hazel, and I'm so happy," Joshua said, his eyes soft. "I'll finish, I can't waste your efforts."

"If you finish, I'm afraid you'll die." Though she hadn't eaten it yet, she knew her cooking level.

"Will you be willing to eat it, too?" He chuckled.

Her heart missed a beat. "No," she said shyly. "I'm trying to bribe you today. What if something makes you sick?"

"Bribe?" He was surprised.

"Uh-huh," Hazel couldn't help but sigh as she pulled him out of the kitchen. "I now have a thorough understanding of myself, and I will never enter the kitchen again."

"Mmm, I'll take over in the kitchen," he whispered.

Hazel's cheeks were flushed. Joshua's whispers of words were always so sudden that they would make her flush with shame.

Nanny Carter had already taken servants to clean up the kitchen while Joshua took her to the sofa to sit down. "What's the matter?"

"I want to quit my job as a secretary," Hazel said. "I've been too busy lately. Although I work for you, it has a negative impact. I am late every day, and I leave early. There is bound to be gossip."

"Indeed," said Joshua, nodding, "You'll be my assistant instead. An assistant doesn't have to follow me all the time, and you won't be afraid that others' gossip."

She looked at him, speechless. She said helplessly, "But I don't want to be an assistant."

"Hazel," Joshua said, taking her hand lightly. "You're no longer living here. Do you want to deny me the right to see you every day at work?"

Hazel's heart melted as he looked pathetic. Suddenly her brain seemed to get dizzy again. "Okay, you have my word..."

Joshua smiled, and he gently kissed her on the lips.

"Wait!" Hazel's finger was put on his lips.

"Huh?" He raised his frowns slightly. "Anything else?"

"Mm-hmm," She nodded hurriedly. "Jaxson is a hard worker. Can I use him for a while?"

"Use?" Joshua looked at her, smiling. "Hazel, how do you plan to use him?"

She was about to open her mouth when she realized what he meant, so she struck him with an angry punch. "I mean, he's very efficient and reliable. What are you thinking?"

"That's what I'm talking about. What are you thinking?" He chuckled.

Hazel glared at him speechlessly because she was teased by him again. She asked angrily. "Are you going to say yes or no?"

"Yes," Joshua whispered, "I'll lend him to you for use, but only for work."

"Where can I get him to be used except work?" She was both angry and amused.

"Otherwise, use me." The smile on Joshua's lips was softer.

Hazel's cheeks were redder. "You, don't forget the three rules!"

Joshua looked sad for a moment, and the next moment he kissed her again. After the kiss, he spoke quietly, "Hazel, don't remind me of such a cruel thing."

Hazel laughed and punched him. Was that her fault now?!

Just then, Jaxson walked in through the door.

"Talk of the devil, and he shall appear," said Hazel in surprise.

Jaxson looked at them, puzzled.

"Jaxson, you'll be around Hazel for a while, and you may leave the work to someone else," Joshua said.

"Okay." Jaxson agreed, and he continued, "President, I've prepared what you asked me to."

"Prepare what?" Hazel asked curiously.

Raising his brow, Joshua took Hazel's hand and calmly said, "Let's go. I'll show you."

Hazel followed him to the garage. Joshua opened the trunk of his car, which was full of presents. There were books, toys and clothes, and so on.

"This is..." Hazel was at sea.

"This is going to be sent to the orphanage," said Joshua quietly.

Hazel gasped Joshua's hand lovingly. He was also an orphan. But she only saw him being strong and reliable but completely forgotten he also needed love and care.

"Are you going to the orphanage? Can I go with you?" she asked sincerely.
