Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

Hazel looked at the receptionist coldly. She never wanted to cause trouble, so she always tried to be cooperative. However, if someone actually set her up, she wouldn't tolerate it.

"Do you know that Denmark Group's receptionists have to obey certain rules? Including not accepting expensive gifts from customers, or it may be considered a bribe?" Hazel said bluntly.

The receptionist's expression changed a little as she calmly said, "I…I don't know what you are talking about!"

Hazel's eyes were slightly cold. "The dress you are wearing is the latest edition of Chanel, the purse you are deliberately showing off on the front desk is the latest edition of LV. These two items add up to about 200,000, and even though the salary of a Denmark Group receptionist may not below. It is definitely not enough for you to afford these things!"

"They were all given to me by my boyfriend!" The receptionist was angry.

"Since they were given to you by your boyfriend, is he rich? Why didn't he give you the whole outfit?" Hazel sneered, "Your shoes are only worth twenty dollars, and they really don't match your clothes. Not to mention…you are wearing fake jewelry!"

After being with Joshua for so long, Hazel was very aware of brand-name clothing and accessories, she could spot fakes at a glance.

The facial expression of the receptionist suddenly changed, and she shouted angrily. "Security, what are you doing? Take this woman out!"

"Are you irritated?" Hazel looked at her, smiling. "The person who gave you these things to help her bully me didn't tell you that there may be a price to pay?"

The facial expression of the receptionist became uglier, she clenched her teeth and smirked, "You, you are not even an employee of Denmark Group, what could you do?"

Hazel sneered when the elevator door opened, Jaxson quickly walked over to her. When her card didn't work, she sent a text message to Jaxson.

"Miss Crowe," Jaxson rushed to her. "Why are you here?"

"Jaxson, Jaxson..." The receptionist turned white when she saw Hazel talking to Jaxson so intimately, and she realized she made a big mistake.

"Don't worry about that, you should deal with her first," Hazel said, smiling. It was not that she wanted to punish her, but the Denmark Group requirement for the front desk was very strict. Hazel was worried that if the receptionist took expensive gifts from others, she would deliberately let inappropriate people in.

"Jaxson, this is really not my fault..." The receptionist hurriedly argued, "I am doing things according to the rules. There was a problem with her own work permit. Shouldn't I stop her?"

"Is that the reason why you accepted expensive gifts from others?" Hazel smiled.

"I..." The receptionist struggled to explain, but Jaxson waved and did not give her an opportunity to explain.

Jaxson said, "Go to the finance department to get your salary. After that, security will escort you out."

After dealing with the receptionist, Hazel and Jaxson went to the elevator.

"Miss Crowe, why do you come here today?" Jaxson hurriedly asked while they waited.

"Well, I have something to talk to Joshua about." Hazel handed him her work permit. "My work permit can't be used. Go and help me find what happened."

"Okay." Jaxson took her work permit and got off of the elevator to go to the personnel department. Hazel went immediately to the top floor, to the president's office.

When she walked in, Joshua was not there, so Hazel decided to just wait there for him. After a few minutes, she heard a quarrel outside in the hallway.

"Joshua, even though you are the president of Denmark Group, you can't do this!"

"Yes! You have to give us an explanation for Mandy. You have been avoiding this, you can't do this forever?"

"You are clearly guilty. You have no confidence, so you are deliberately delaying it?"

The questioning voices got closer and closer, Hazel frowned and quickly went to the lounge. Just as she shut the door, she heard the outside door open. There were footsteps, presumably Joshua and some of the directors, that were verbally attacking Joshua.

"Okay," Joshua said, and a group of directors immediately snorted. He said, "Don't worry. I have a plan in regards to this matter, and I will definitely give you an explanation."

The directors were naturally dissatisfied with what he said and continued to complain, putting more pressure on Joshua.

"It is a private matter of the Denmark family on whether or not the lost daughter of Marcus and Cate has been found," Joshua's eyes swept over them sharply. "You care so much about my family's affairs. It is because you replaced me?"

"We don't mean it like that..." The directors said. The Denmark Group was still in Joshua's hands, he had all the power, and although they had the title of directors, they had almost no real power.

Even so, with the current state of Denmark Group had become a big topic, they had ideas. It was a great opportunity, and they didn't want to miss it. However, they just thought about it, even when things were not clear, they still didn't have enough confidence to make Joshua angry.

"In this case, please leave, I still have to work," Joshua said coldly.

Since Joshua ordered them to leave, they had no choice. When the directors left, Hazel walked out of the lounge.

"Hazel?" Joshua looked a little surprised. "When did you come in?"

"Just a few minutes ago," Hazel smiled shallowly. "Because I was afraid to bother you, and I didn't want to call you."

"You can call me whenever you want." Joshua sighed and said helplessly, "I will answer my phone for you any time of day or night."

Hazel blushed and nodded.

"You come to see me, is it something urgent?" Joshua whispered.

"Yeah." She told Joshua about the graduation thesis.

Joshua frowned, he had asked someone to hand it in, and he personally confirmed that it was submitted to her professor. The only explanation was that someone found her professor and wanted to cause trouble for her.

"Let me deal with it." Joshua sighed.

"Then I just go home." Hazel smiled shallowly. "And, you keep working?"

"Hey, don't think about other things, leave it with me." Joshua reached out and touched her hair gently.

Hazel nodded and left Joshua's office. She walked to the bathroom, and after shutting the stall door, she heard two women talking, and they mentioned her name.
