Chapter 13: Didn’t You Take Off My Pants?
She yelled at him in disbelief. “Are you a fool? Didn’t you hear me? Hazel came to you to trick you into buying expensive wine!”
“I see.” Isaac looked at her sarcastically. “I have a lot of money, and I am a fool. I like to spend money to amuse Hazel. Do you have any objections? Oh, by the way, if you really have an objection, keep it to yourself.”
“You, you…” Karla was so irritated that she couldn’t speak. She just stood there pointing at Isaac.
Then she said, infuriated with shame, “Unacceptable!” as she left in a huff.
“Thank you for helping me out,” Hazel said with a smile. “But do you still need the wine?”
“Yes, why not?” Isaac grinned and curled up his lip. “Joshua has a lot of money, and he’s a fool.”
Since it was Joshua’s treat, he didn’t need to pay for it even if he ordered more wine. Why not order it?
Hazel looked at him in astonishment. How could anyone say that about himself?
“Are you sure you want to talk to me here?” Isaac said.
They had been standing outside the door since they met Karla.
Hazel came to her senses and quickly moved out of his way.
They sat down at the table, and Isaac generously ordered several expensive dishes.
Hazel quickly stopped him. “That’s enough. Don’t order anymore.”
“Why?” Isaac looked at her curiously.
“I can’t eat that much food.” She frowned.
Looking at her serious face, he was stunned. How could this little girl be so funny?
“Well, it’s up to you.” He closed the menu, his eyes twinkling. “Is that woman your friend?”
“No.” She cocked her eyebrows. “We’re just classmates.”
“Oh?” He then asked, “Why is she here?”
“I don’t know. I don’t know her very well.” She didn’t know Isaac wanted to get something out of her, so she answered truthfully. “We have fewer classes in our senior year. Maybe she has a part-time job here.”
Was Hazel still a student? He felt even more surprised.
“Then why did you allow her to bully you and not defend yourself?” He frowned slightly.
“I’m not good at arguing with people,” She said seriously. “I’m good at fighting.”
“Are you still able to fight?” He couldn’t help laughing. How could such a lovely girl fight with others? He didn’t believe it at all.
“Yes, she is.”
A voice said from outside the room as the door opened.
Hazel stiffened instantly. She turned her head in disbelief and looked toward the door.
She could never forget the voice that had made her so anxious.
Joshua could not help frowning when he saw that Isaac was also there. He suddenly had a bad feeling deep inside. He took out his cell phone and sent a message.
“Why, why are you here?!” Hazel jumped to her feet and looked at Joshua like she saw a ghost.
Isaac stared at them with curiosity.
It turned out Hazel had met Joshua, but she didn’t know his name. What on Earth had happened between them?
“I asked you out. Why wouldn’t I be here?” Joshua raised his eyebrows.
“What? You asked me out?” Hazel looked at Isaac. “It’s clear that Mr. Denmark asked me out!”
“Do you think he’s Joshua?” Joshua looked at Isaac with a smirk. Sure enough, it seemed like wherever went, there was something cruel going on.
“Of course, he is! You did not expect me to meet the real person, did you?!” Hazel looked a bit more annoyed. She turned to Isaac. “Mr. Denmark, this man snuck into the studio yesterday. He… he is a scoundrel!”
“Oh?” Joshua’s eyes flashed. “What did I do to make you think I’m a scoundrel?”
“You, you…” Hazel bit her lip in anger.
She was not good at arguing with people, and what’s worse is that what had happened yesterday made her even more stressed.
Isaac watched with extreme pleasure. There must be something fishy going on between these two!
“What’s the matter with me?” Joshua questioned, with a dignified expression on his face. “It was because you took off my pants that I took off your skirt. Finally, you left in my clothes.”
“What, what nonsense?!” Hazel immediately got upset.
Why did he say this matters so casually as if there was something between them?
“Poop —” Isaac, who was drinking water, shot it out of his mouth.
Did he get it wrong?
Joshua, who had always been so serious with his speech and manners, was actually teasing a little girl? And he said they took off each other’s clothes or something. Were the two...
“Isn’t that so?” Joshua raised his eyebrows. “Didn’t you take off my pants?”
“They, they didn’t happen on the same day at all!” Hazel’s face was red with anger.
“I didn’t say that.” Joshua’s mouth tilted upwards slightly at the corners, with a vague smile.
Isaac choked and coughed. This little girl was really modest and was just being played by Joshua. It was clear that the more she tried to explain it, the more she could not explain it clearly, and it would be more misleading.
Hazel was aching to hit someone now! It was a disappointment that... she could not outsmart him. She felt completely helpless and frustrated!
Taking a deep breath, she looked at Isaac and said, “Mr. Denmark, please get him out of here.”
“I told you he’s not Joshua.” Joshua came to her and quietly pulled out the chair. “I am.”
“If you don’t leave, I’ll call the police!” She took a few steps back as if she was dodging some terrible virus.
“You scared the little girl,” Isaac finally could breathe evenly and said with a smirk. “Why don’t you leave?”
“Isaac.” Joshua cocked his eyebrows.
He had been surprised that Hazel, who wasn’t stupid but maybe she was a little naive, would firmly believe that Isaac was him. It looked like Isaac had been trying to pretend to be him.
“What I said is the truth.” Isaac’s mouth tilted upwards slightly at the corners. “Hazel’s really afraid of you. Why don’t you go? If you have anything to say, just let me tell Hazel.”
