Chasing The Fierce Heiress

“Mr. President, I have some things from work…” Janet looked at Hazel.

“That… if there is nothing else, I will leave to go home.” Hazel said.

“You are going to leave wearing that?” Joshua’s eyes flashed with disappointment.

He really did not want anyone else to see Hazel looking so beautiful and vivacious.

“Em… How long does it take for my clothes to dry?” she asked.

“It’s still early.” Joshua said calmly, “Let Nanny Carter take you to the lounge while you are waiting for them. We can have lunch together at noon.”

Janet’s face became even more ugly.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“This isn’t inconvenient, is it?” Hazel frowned.

“Nanny Carter’s expertise is excellent,” Joshua said. “Or do you want to take it out?”

“…” She didn’t mean it at all!

“Or can Miss Crowe help me with a favor first?” Janet suddenly said.

“Ah?” Hazel looked at her blankly. “What favor?”

“In addition to bringing information to Mr. President today, I also heard that he was ill, and I want to make him a bowl of ginger soup.” Janet’s eyes flashed. She looked over at Joshua, “What if Miss Crowe helped me to make the soup and then brought it to you?”

Joshua frowned unhappily. Janet clearly wanted Hazel to misunderstand their relationship.

“Ah?” Hazel said awkwardly. “But… I don’t know how to cook.”

“Miss Crowe, you didn’t know how to cook?” Janet’s voice was a bit more scornful. She giggled twice. “As a woman, how can you not know how to cook? You can’t get married without knowing how to cook.”

Hazel uncomfortably lifted her eyebrows. Janet said in a joking tone, but the words clearly contained provocation.

“Does one have to know how to cook if she wants to get married?” Hazel said, “Does a man really want to get married, or does he actually want to find a babysitter?”

Joshua smiled.

Hazel did not know how to cook, which made him a little unhappy, but it just meant he would not be able to eat a meal she made on her own. It did not matter to him, though.

Janet’s face was slightly stiff, and she suddenly sneered. “I guess, Miss Crowe, you are an only child? Your parents must really love you. They spoiled you and didn’t even bother to teach you basic life skills!”

Hazel was extremely angry. People can criticize her, but she would absolutely not allow them to criticize her parents!

“You guessed wrong, I am not an only child, and I have a brother.” Hazel said, “My parents said they were raising a daughter, not a domestic maid for others. With take-out, it doesn’t matter if I learned to cook. If not being able to cook is why I can’t get married well then, I won’t get married.

My parents and brother are willing to help me for my entire life if I need help. You will not have to make me a meal. So, Miss Secretary, you have nothing to worry about.”

Janet’s face became very ugly.

“Hazel.” Joshua suddenly said.

“What? I will not expect you to make me a meal either!” Hazel said with self-reliance.

She did not look at him with a beautiful, calm expression, so is he going to lecture her now?

“I just want to say,” Joshua, “You are always welcome to eat here.”

“… ah?” Hazel was stunned. Joshua was really…How was she supposed to answer?

Jaxson laughed and almost spat the tea he was drinking out of his mouth.

Janet felt even more resentful toward Hazel. The meaning of what Joshua had said did not need to be explained!

“I’ll go to find Nanny Carter…” Hazel swiftly stood up and ran upstairs.

Seeing that Hazel had run upstairs, Joshua appeared to have regained composure and said, “Janet, I hope that you know there is no other relationship between us. We have a working relationship. Don’t do anything extra!”

“… Yes.” Janet nodded her head to show she understood, but her heart was full of reluctance.

There had never been another woman around. Janet was his secretary and was said to be the person closest to him.

How can she not have some feelings for Joshua after working with him for so many years?

Hazel, who randomly appeared, certainly made her feel nervous.

Hazel found Nanny Carter, and she took her to a guest room. She was feeling restless, so she picked up a book and sat on the sofa to read.

After a while, she heard a slight sound of a footstep behind her.

“What are you looking at?” Joshua leaned over and asked. His warm breath was on her ear.

Hazel trembled and moved over. “You.. you don’t get too close to me…”

“What’s wrong?” Joshua.

“You are sick, what if you infect me…” Hazel said shyly.

Joshua nodded and sat down. “Next time, let’s have Nanny Carter take you to the study to read. There’s no coffee table here, it is inconvenient.”

“Next time?” Hazel asks, stunned.

“You don’t like it?” Joshua raised his eyebrows. “Then place a table here.”

“…” Hazel was speechless, she didn’t mean this at all!

Why is it always so difficult to communicate with Joshua? It is obvious that she did not mean things the way he thought she did. He liked to tease her deliberately!

“Why did you come to find me?” Hazel had no choice but to change the topic.

“Came to bring you the clothes,” Joshua laid her dry clothes beside her. “By the way, let’s go down and get something to eat.”

“Okay.” Hazel nodded. Then she looked at Joshua awkwardly.

“Why aren’t you changing?” he asked.

“You need to get out.” Hazel smiled. He had been standing there, how could she change?

“Okay.” He lifted his lips.

Hazel changed her clothes and saw Joshua waiting outside the door.

“Are you okay?” she asked.

“I feel a lot better now,” Joshua said. “Just feel a little dizzy and weak.”

“That’s the effect of the medicine. Don’t do too much after eating, get a good sleep. When you wake up, you should be fine.”

“Well, I will listen to you.”

Hazel and Joshua walked into the dining room, Jaxson and Janet were sitting at the table.

Janet looked up and down at Hazel’s figure, then suddenly smiled and asked, “What do you plan to do after graduation?”

“I want to apply for postgraduate school.” Hazel picked up the chopsticks.

“Oh?” Janet relaxed a little bit and let some of her hostility towards Hazel go. “And after that?”

“Apply for public service,” Hazel replied truthfully.

“Being a public servant is good, and you will never lose your job.” Janet was even happier.

As long as she does not want to enter the Family Group, then she will have little contact with Joshua, they will certainly not have results.

“Do you want to be in the public service?” Joshua lifted his eyebrows, “I thought you would want to be a police officer or a doctor.”

“If I wanted to be a police officer or a doctor, I would need to go to school longer,” Hazel said. “And my parents said…”
