Chapter 12: Her Luck Had Been Running Out Lately
Although she had a somewhat better impression of him, she had a vague sense of rejection in her heart. He was so perfect that he didn’t seem to be true.
“Thank you very much, and thank your president very much.” Hazel smiled faintly. “You’ve helped me a lot. I am not upset about the dress incident. As for meeting him, it’s not necessary. After all, it’s not...”
“Yes! Yes!” Ariel gave Hazel a quick shove and consented to the meeting for her. “Our Hazel would like to meet Mr. Denmark!”
“Ariel!” Hazel gazed at her helplessly.
“Hazel! It’s Joshua, Joshua Denmark! Shouldn’t you go and thank him in person for what he has done for you?” Ariel said, her eyes shining.
“Even if you don’t like him, you can introduce him to me after that! I’m alone! By the way, be sure to keep Summer a secret. Of course, the less competition in a love rivalry like this, the better!”
Hazel almost started choking. What kind of friends did she have?
“Come with me then, and I’ll drive you to meet the president.” Larry pointed to a Benz business car parked nearby.
Hazel still wanted to refuse, but Ariel pushed her all the way to the car.
Larry helped her open the door, and Hazel had to get in the car, helpless.
Joshua Denmark had helped her. At least she should thank him in person. That wasn’t too much.
She felt a little nervous as she was being driven to meet Mr. Denmark. What kind of person… would the legendary Joshua Denmark be?
They went to a Chinese restaurant, and Larry took Hazel to a private room.
Hazel went in, but the room was empty.
She asked in surprise. “Mr. Joseph, why isn’t Mr. Denmark here?”
“I’m sorry, Miss Crowe. Just give me a moment, please,” Larry said apologetically. “There’s a message from the president’s secretary that there was a traffic jam while he was on his way here, but he will be here in about ten minutes. Would you like to order?”
“No.” Hazel smiled politely. “I’ll just wait here.”
Larry left the room. Hazel waited a moment, then she looked at the time and decided to go to the bathroom.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw a man standing at the door as if he had just arrived.
He was good-looking and even handsome, with a bit of charm to his face. He belonged in the category of the pretty boy, but he was still masculine.
“Are you Joshua Denmark?” Hazel was more or less surprised because he was handsome and unexpectedly young.
Isaac Anderson looked at Hazel in bewilderment.
He was here for Joshua. When he called Joshua’s secretary, he knew that he had booked a meal there, so he went straight there, but there was a woman instead?
Joshua was famous for not being close to a woman. But was he actually dating a woman?!
This was much more unusual than when he held the Surrogacy Competition!
But she actually didn’t know Joshua? A smile suddenly curved Isaac’s lips.
“You are…” It looked as if he was thinking.
Hazel didn’t know that Isaac was misleading her on purpose. Because of her preconceptions, she was certain that he was Joshua.
“I’m Hazel Crowe,” she said, with a smile.
At the corner of the hallway, a woman in an enchanting outfit looked shocked to see Hazel.
When she realized it was really her, she pulled out her phone with a snicker and pointed the camera at Hazel and Isaac.
“Thank you very much for today,” Hazel said gratefully.
It was Joshua who had invited Hazel, but it was she who wanted to express her thanks?
Isaac was more convinced that Joshua and the woman in front of him must have some secret!
“Hazel, what a coincidence to see you here!”
A charming voice suddenly called out. Isaac disappointingly turned his eyes from Hazel and turned to see the charming woman walking towards them.
Hazel couldn’t help but frown.
She really wondered whether her doomsday was coming. Her luck had been running out lately.
It was none other than Kyla Lee’s friend, Karla Lee.
Of course, since she was a good friend of Kyla Lee, the relationship between her and Hazel was horrific.
“How has your business been recently?” Karla had a mischievous look in her eyes, with an innocent expression. “Have you earned much? I am a bit short of money. Can you lend me some?”
“Business?” Isaac asked surprisingly.
“Well, don’t misunderstand what I am saying, I never said Hazel is doing anything dishonest,” Karla chuckled. “She has just brought different boyfriends here and asked them to order some expensive wine. She’s not a bartender or anything like that, and I don’t know whether... they were doing something else.”
She could not believe that Karla actually said that she was a bartender and mocked Hazel for being a prostitute.
However, it was Joshua who invited her here today, and he would not believe Karla.
She had miscalculated, and Hazel was happy to watch her performance.
“You sell wine here?” Isaac asked in amazement.
“Oh, Hazel, is this your new client? I thought he was your friend?” Karla said, pretending she had understood. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said so much.”
She said she was sorry, but she didn’t mean it, instead, she seemed to be very content.
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Isaac frowned.
Hazel looked at him in surprise. What did he mean?
Karla was smug and looked at Isaac with anticipation. This handsome guy was actually with Hazel? How was Hazel good enough to date him? He should dump her!
Just at that moment, Isaac stopped the passing waitress and asked, “What’s the most expensive wine you’ve got?”
The waitress was stunned.
Before she could answer, she saw Isaac wave his hand and impatiently say, “Well, you don’t have to tell me. As long as the price is higher than five figures, give me a bottle of each!”
All three women were completely stunned.
This man was intentionally trying to embarrass her! Karla was humiliated and angry.
