Chapter 9: They Hit The Wrong Person
As a pungent smell rushed towards his face, Jaxson screamed.
The next moment, Ariel grabbed the coat from Jaxson's hands and put it directly on his head!
Ariel could not have been any ruder. She attacked Jaxson with a storm of punches and said, "You degenerate son of bitch! That's what you get when you piss off a lady!"
Jaxson couldn't open his eyes at all, and his throat was burning. He could only try hard to dodge the punches from Ariel.
"Hazel!" Ariel yelled.
Hazel rushed out of the corner of the corridor.
Hazel knew Joshua would definitely be alerted if she came by herself, so she asked Ariel to deliver the coat.
In fact, Hazel did not expect such an easy win, and Joshua could have been gone. She was just trying her luck.
And if their plan didn't work out, she would scream for help and then with Ariel say that Joshua was a pervert trying to offend them.
But it turned out he took the bait so easily.
Hazel didn't think much. She quickly rushed to Jaxson's side and gave a heavy punch to his belly.
Jaxson crouched over in pain.
Hazel pulled off the coat wrapped on his head, prepared to give him a few more slaps.
Hazel was stunned.
"Who is this guy?"
"What's wrong with you, Hazel? Revenge!" Ariel hurriedly said.
Hazel grabbed Ariel and ran and said, "Let's get out of here. We got the wrong person!"
Joshua heard the movement in the room. He opened the door of the office and saw Hazel escaping from afar.
He was a bit surprised, but he soon figured out what happened when he saw Jaxson squatting at the door, groaning.
Joshua felt angry and amused at the same time. He quickly took Jaxson to the bathroom.
After washing them for a long time, Jaxson's eyes finally recovered.
"Mr. President, why did they attack me?" Jaxson asked innocently. He just came here to deliver a coat!
"Sorry, Jaxson." Joshua apologized very sincerely, "Their aim must be me. But I don't know why they mistook you for me."
Jaxson was speechless. So, he took the bullet for his master.
"I will arrange for someone to send you to the hospital later. This is a work-related injury." Joshua sighed and said, "You have two days off, and I will give you a paid leave."
"Mr. President, it's no big deal, just a scratch..."Jaxson said.
"Jaxson, just accept it." Joshua said with a little embarrassment, "Other than that, I can not compensate you more."
Jaxson suddenly understood that it was compensation for the attack he received.
After looking at the situation, Joshua did not intend to look for the girls. Jaxson was somewhat surprised.
Jaxson clearly knew about his president's temper since he had been serving Joshua for a long time.
Joshua was usually generous to everyone. However, if anyone took advantage of him, Joshua would smile and bury them. But this time...Joshua actually planned to let it go?
Jaxson could not say anything else since Mr. President made the decision.
Hazel and Ariel ran out of the studio all the way to the bus.
"Ariel, is it ok that we fled like that?" Hazel looked back, worried.
They hit the wrong person, after all.
"What's wrong?” Ariel said confidently, "I asked whether the coat belonged to him, and that guy said yes! He deserved that anyway! He is either in a gang with that pervert or just a small-time liar. Either way, he asked for it!"
Hazel looked at her silently. Well, Hazel was good with her fists, but Ariel was good with her tongue. Now Ariel had just brain-washed her.
The two of them returned directly to Quantum University, looking irritable.
When they made it back to the dorm room, Summer also looked irritable. "How is the preliminary selection going?" Summer asked.
"What happened to her?" Hazel looked at Ariel.
"Ha-ha. The preliminary selection is only open to participants between 20 to 21 years old. Summer just had her 22nd birthday a few days ago, so she did not make it!" Ariel said, gloating.
Summer fought back immediately, "Even if you go, Joshua will not choose you!"
"At least I have that thousand dollars!" Ariel was still winning.
Summer was speechless. She turned to Hazel and said, "How about you?" Hazel's face suddenly became a little pale.
"Let me do the talking!" Ariel turned back while she was halfway to the washroom and told their story to Summer as if she was the female version of Hans Christian Andersen.
Summer listened carefully and was amazed. She said, "You guys had a nice day. I should have been there with you. But somehow...Hazel, I don’t think your dress just accidentally broke."
"Yeah. I was thinking that, too." Ariel nodded, "My Prince Charming must have arranged every detail of such an event carefully. The dresses are all one size, but their quality must be good. I think someone did something to your dress, Hazel!"
"It shouldn't have been touched." Hazel said in doubt, "We didn't know anyone, and we have no enemy..."
Hazel was stunned when she got to the "enemy" part.
She had met two enemies today, Kyla and the "Fake Joshua."
"In my opinion, it must be Kyla!" Ariel said angrily.
"I think so too." Summer nodded.
"Let's go, Hazel!" Ariel stood up.
Hazel was somewhat hesitant. She said, "Forget it. It's in the past. Besides, we got no evidence. Kyla will definitely deny it, and then everyone will think we are the bad guys looking for trouble."
"Hmm. That bitch is really good at this thing. She will be an Oscar-winning actress one day if not today." Summer said, "We will probably make things worse for Hazel if we just attack in this way."
"What should I do?" Ariel was disappointed, "So, she can just walk away, huh?"
"Don't worry, let's be patient. She is a bitch, and karma is a bitch, too." Hazel said.
"Alright, I'll take a shower first," Ariel said, instantly changing the topic.
Hazel was speechless.
Summer was the wisest among the three. Ariel was the most eloquent one but lacked decision-making. Hazel was the straightforward type who preferred to settle things in close-quarter combat.
