Chapter 25: How’s Your Date?
Hazel’s body started to stiffen unintentionally.
“Don’t be afraid, Hazel.” He whispered in her ear and gently grabbed her hand. “Help me.”
“I...mmm!” Hazel’s head was still in a whirl when his lips had fallen down and covered hers.
The soft touch made her eyes widen, leaving Hazel overwhelmed.
Did he actually kiss her?
He pressed softly on her lips, his arms around her waist.
She was just pretending to be Joshua's girlfriend. It shouldn’t be like this. What was wrong?!
Hazel tried to resist, but he kissed her deeper and deeper, her eyes began to blur, and as she seemed to be losing the last ounce of her sanity.
Not far away, someone had a phone and secretly took a photo of Joshua kissing her.
Whoever took the picture immediately sent it to Isaac.
“... Fuck!” Isaac couldn’t help cursing.
Joshua was bad enough. To get him to give up on Hazel, he asked people to send him photos of them together. Who could bear it?
Suddenly, Isaac’s eyes twinkled, and he forwarded the photo.
She did not know how long it was before the intimate kiss ended.
“Now, do you believe it?” Joshua spoke softly.
“You, you…” Scarlett glared at them angrily, she grunted coldly, then stood up, grabbed up her bag, and left.
Hazel was still a little confused. She just… actually was kissed by Joshua?
“Thank you, Hazel.” Joshua smiled gently. “What would you like to eat? It is my treat.”
“Whatever…” Hazel said unhappily. She still felt that something was wrong.
Joshua rang the service bell and began to order.
Suddenly, Hazel’s phone vibrated, and she took it out, a little fidgety.
The next moment her face suddenly darkened. She looked up at a corner of the restaurant, and in an instant, she realized what was wrong with today’s incident.
She put away her phone, slowly removed her jewelry, and put it on the table.
Joshua had just finished ordering their meal and seeing this, his heart could not help but sink a little. “What’s wrong? Is it difficult for you to wear it?”
“I will give the jewels back to you,” Ignoring him, Hazel said uncaringly. “I’ll call your assistant when I get my clothes back and ask him to bring this outfit back to you. If you don’t want it, I’ll pay you back at the market price. Also, I do not have to eat today's meal.”
“Hazel,” The bad feeling in his heart grew stronger, “The dishes have been ordered. Why do you suddenly not want to eat them?”
“Joshua, do you think I’m stupid?” Hazel raised her head, and she curled her lips coldly. “I should have long noticed it. It was Scarlett who was pretending. You had her pretend like she was pestering you, didn’t you?”
Joshua began to shift slightly in his chair.
“Hazel, why would you think that?” Joshua whispered. There had been no major indications of that the entire time Scarlett was there. Why did Hazel suddenly turn hostile?
“Well, I’ll tell you why I think so!” A wave of uncontrollable anger began to rise from her heart.
“If you are looking for an actor next time, look for someone more dedicated than that. Don’t look for someone who’s not aggressive towards me and is helping you take advantage of me from beginning to end!”
She realized why the situation didn’t feel right. Scarlett had been provoking her, but she had no actual animosity from beginning to end, and she had no true love for Joshua!
Even when she saw them kissing, she just walked away without any overreaction, and if she had loved Joshua as she said, she would have caused a scene.
“Besides,” She angrily took out her cell phone, “what is this picture about?”
His eyes suddenly got dark.
“Was it photographed and sent to Isaac by someone under your order?” she questioned coldly.
“Joshua, I don’t care what you’re plotting. Just please let me go and leave me alone. I have no time to play any kind of love games with you rich kids!”
Hazel’s really going to blow her top!
She was just trying to help Joshua, but he took advantage of her kindness to deceive her!
Suddenly she thought she was ridiculous. She was like a monkey, being played by him!
Joshua had sighed quietly a long time ago.
Hazel was a simple girl, but her mind was sharp. She just didn’t care to think about some things, but if she wanted to think about them, she could figure them out quickly.
“Hazel, it is really my fault this time,” he whispered, “but I don’t want to play games with you…”
“What is this all for then?” She sneered, her eyes a little more disdainful. “So, I will sleep with you?”
“Get married,” he said seriously, all of a sudden.
Hazel was not expecting that answer, she was stunned. The answer... seemed to make her mind go blank for a second. But the next moment, both her eyes were cold. “Joshua, don't you find it absurd to say that?”
“You don’t believe me?” Joshua frowned slightly. Hazel seemed to have taken his words completely as a joke.
“How do you expect me to believe you?” She stretched out her hand angrily. “Give me your phone!”
He gave her the phone, but he was a little confused.
She opened his address book and clicked on a number. She held the phone in front of him and asked coldly, “Why is Isaac’s number on my phone’s blocked list? You put it in secretly yesterday, didn’t you? Why did you use my cell phone without my permission?”
His face changed slightly.
When he helped her save his phone number yesterday, he had indeed added Isaac’s number to the blocked list because he had expected Isaac would call to harass her.
Now, any credit Hazel had given him was clearly gone. Whatever he said, she wouldn’t believe it.
With a sneer, Hazel threw her phone at him.
“If you are used to all kinds of women doing whatever you want and now think you want to see if some naïve college student will fall for it, go find someone else!” She stood up angrily. “Joshua, do not let me ever see you again or else!”
Joshua's eyes got deeper as he watched her leave, but he didn’t get up to chase after her.
Just then, his phone rang. Looking at the name on the screen, seriousness flashed in his eyes.
“How’s your date?” Isaac smirked.
“Come and meet me,” Joshua said in a deep tone.
“Well, it’s about time we had a good talk.” Isaac chuckled. “Let’s go play ball!”
After walking out of the restaurant quickly, Hazel took out a tissue to vigorously wipe her lips. She had already cursed Joshua thousands of times in her heart.
