Chapter 45: What About Joshua?
Isaac's bold comment really overcame Hazel.
"If you don't agree, then I will keep pestering you," Isaac said.
"Well." Hazel reluctantly agreed, "But I decide what kind of dinner I will invite you to."
She could not take the risk that Isaac might ask for some expensive feast.
"Sure!" Isaac promised happily.
However, he did not expect that Hazel would take him to eat at McDonald's.
Hazel ordered a McCrispy Chicken Burger. She looked at the sad-looking Isaac and said, "Don't worry. If you don't like a spicy burger, you can order something else."
Isaac frowned. Did she just look down on him? He also ordered a McCrispy Chicken Burger.
He took one bite of the burger and started to choke from the heat. He drank half of his cola just to mask the heat. "Why in God's name will you eat this kind of thing..." Isaac frowned.
"I got a cold." Hazel said, "I think spicy food is better when you get a cold."
"Just like that?" Isaac was motionless.
"What else did you expect?" Hazel asked.
"I thought it was a date between you and me." Isaac laughed.
"What are you talking about?" Hazel clenched her fists.
"I mean, just give up on Joshua. You may want to think about hanging out with me." Isaac smiled.
Hazel got coughed on her food.
"If you joke around like that again, I may ask you if you want to eat my fist. Is that okay?" Hazel said after drinking some cola.
"I am serious," Isaac said innocently. Why would Hazel think he was only joking?
"Oh." Hazel continued to eat.
"Hazel, I am not any uglier than Joshua, right?" Isaac was frustrated, "Don't you feel anything towards me?"
Hazel thought about it seriously, "With you, it feels like being with my brother. You're friendly enough like my brother,"
"You got a brother like me?" Isaac asked curiously.
"He is not as cheeky as you are." Hazel said, "But somehow, I know that both of you are nice guys."
"So... I am just like a brother..." Isaac murmured. Then he still asked, "What about Joshua?"
Hazel's face changed. She said uninterestedly, "I don't feel anything for him. Don't mention him."
Isaac looked at her meaningfully.
Hazel's cell phone rang, and she frowned. It was an apology message from Ivan. She looked at the text message, and she was a little sorry.
"Well, give me your mobile phone." Isaac reached out.
"What?" Hazel asked but still handed the phone to him.
"I'm your brother now. You cannot put your brother on the blocked list on your phone!" Isaac suddenly blinked, "Joshua is also on the blacklist? That's exactly where he should stay! Don't unleash him!"
Hazel was speechless.
Isaac touched the sticker on the back of her phone and asked with a frown, "Do you girls always like these colorful stickers?"
"It looks cute."
Isaac turned over the phone and looked at the sticker. Suddenly, his face changed.
"What's wrong now?" Hazel asked.
Isaac peeled off her phone sticker with a serious look. There was a black little thing glued underneath the sticker.
"What are you doing?"
Isaac made a gesture of "be quiet." He threw the phone sticker into the trash can and then pulled Hazel and walked out of the McDonalds.
Hazel followed him and got in his car.
"Hazel, do you remember who touched your phone?" Isaac asked seriously.
"What's wrong?" Hazel was amazed.
"The little black thing just now is a tiny bug with a positioning function." Isaac's face was a bit ugly now, "Who is after you?"
Hazel was thinking.
Someone put a bug under her phone sticker, and she was completely unaware of it!
Suddenly, her face changed slightly.
"Who are you thinking of?" Isaac asked. "Tell me, I will check it for you."
"I didn't think of anyone. It's just a little scary." Hazel lowered her eyes.
"You have to be careful these days, try not to go out alone." Isaac was uneasy about the situation.
"Alright." Hazel nodded.
Looking at her low mood, Isaac sighed, "Let me take you back."
"No need." Hazel smiled. She opened the car door and said, "We are already at the university gate. I can just walk from here."
But when she just got out of the car, a tall figure stopped in front of her.
It was Joshua.
"Why don't you wait for me to come back?" Joshua sighed.
Hazel bit her lip gently.
"You move fast!" Isaac got out of the car and looked at Joshua. He was less than pleased.
"Not as fast as you." Joshua's eyes got darker, "Isaac, your fiancée, maybe nearby..."
"Okay-okay, don't mention that woman." Isaac said with a big head, "Hazel is all yours. See you around."
After Isaac got in his car and fled, Joshua said, "Hazel, he has a fiancée. You should stay away from him..."
Hazel looked at him for a while and said, "Joshua, let's find a place to settle the things between us."
"Get in the car." Joshua frowned. He got a bad feeling about this.
Joshua drove to a nearby coffee shop, and Hazel picked a seat near the window. She looked at the traffic flowing outside the window and asked, "How did you find me?"
Joshua was surprised, "Isaac's car is noticeable."
"No. I meant when I was in state M." Hazel asked with a complex expression, " was in the mountains by then. How did you find me so soon?"
Joshua hesitated. He was thinking about how to tell her.
"Is it because you installed a positioning bug on my phone?" Hazel sneered, her eyes sharpened.
"Your phone was indeed installed with a bug, but it wasn't me who installed it." Joshua said, "Hazel, believe me. I won't do this to you."
"If not you, then who?" Hazel asked.
"It's Janet Flores," Joshua said with some helplessness.
When Jaxson checked Janet's account yesterday, he accidentally discovered that there were Hazel's recording files on Janet's computer. That is when he found out that Janet had secretly installed a bug on Hazel.
