Derek had chased after Hazel for a while, but she didn’t want anything to do with him. However, Derek told everyone that Hazel was his girlfriend, making up a convincing story.
Hazel clarified several times, but Derek was very mischievous. More and more people believed they were together and thought Hazel was lying.
Hazel was mad at Derek. One day she took Derek directly into a groove...and beat the hell out of him!
Since then, Derek did not dare say anything about Hazel. She thought things were settled.
But, after Derek and Kyla got together, she told others Derek dumped Hazel and chose her.
For a long time after that, everyone looked at Hazel with sympathy, as if they were looking at an abandoned woman.
Hazel had no idea why they had to make things up. She could not bear it!
But Kyla was a girl, after all. It wasn’t fun if people saw two girls fighting with each other. And Kyla would probably escalate her lie to a new level.
So, Hazel took Derek and Kyla into the grove on campus...and in front of Kyla, she beat the hell out of Derek for a second time.
Hazel could still remember the horrified look on Kyla’s face that day, which explained why she usually detoured whenever she saw Hazel later.
With the manifestation of Hazel's power, the two of them stopped their gossip. But the rumors had already spread. Hazel could not get everyone to see past it.
"Forget it, just don't mention them." Hazel sighed.
Ariel nodded again and again. They walked into the washroom together.
Joshua walked out from the corner of the corridor with his hand on his forehead.
There was really something strange between that badass girl and him.
Joshua did not come here today for Hazel. He just had some business to deal with. But would they actually meet again?
Just let it be...Joshua twitched his lips.
After walking out of the washroom, Hazel and Ariel went to the lockers to get their dresses.
The dresses were the same style of low-cut dress that Kyla was wearing, making them look and feel awkward.
After all, Ariel had just commented on Kyla's dress a little while ago.
"What did you say just now?" Hazel was speechless.
Ariel diverted the subject and said, "My Prince Charming is so brilliant. He knows to use the same style of dress to test who the real beauty is!"
"Maybe you should watch your language." Hazel smiled, "You just said Kyla looks like a slutty bitch in that dress, and now we have to put on the same dress."
"She is slutty in any dress, but you, my Hazel, are always a goddess." Ariel giggled.
The two of them put on the dresses which came in the same size. Hazel sensed some discomfort on the upper part of her dress.
"Wow, look at that big nevus on your chest!" Ariel said, "It looks like a piece of crimson plum. Is that a tattoo?"
Hazel hurriedly covered her chest and said, "It's a birthmark!"
"Oh. That is rare, but why are you covering it?" Ariel smiled, "You said you don't want to be selected. And now, my Prince Charming will probably ignore you because of that birthmark, huh?"
Hazel let go of her hands and revealed her chest.
Ariel curiously watched Hazel's chest and said with some surprise, "That birthmark is really special. It's probably unique."
The birthmark on Hazel's chest was a beautiful five-petal plum with four petals placed on top and one petal at the bottom. The shape was unique.
"I don't know if it's a unique one. I think there will be anyone who bears the same birthmark, right?" Hazel said.
Ariel nodded and agreed, "But it is very convenient for you to have such a birthmark. Even if you are being trafficked, your parents will find you easily."
"You are the one who will be trafficked!" Hazel argued. "I'm my parents' daughter. Thank you very much!"
"Relax, just kidding." Ariel made a face.
After they were ready, they waited outside the studio together.
Ariel’s turn for her interview was soon. She wasn’t long in the room, when she came out, Hazel was still trying to adjust her dress.
"Don't pull it on no more. You are not a stripper!" Ariel chuckled.
Seeing the hesitant look on Hazel's face, Ariel said, "Don't worry, the photographer will give you instructions, let you do some simple poses. It's fast. You see, I came out in less than three minutes! Maybe, you need me to accompany you inside?"
"No need... you go to the locker room to change. I will find you after I finish shooting." Hazel shook her head and handed both of their handbags to Ariel. She was bold enough to be in the photo studio alone.
"Alright." Ariel nodded.
Hazel took a deep breath and walked into the studio.
She did not notice that a tall figure came in from the side door of the studio.
However, the director of the studio noticed the man and wanted to stop him. But he was a little stunned when he saw who the man was.
"Mr. President..." the director said unexpectedly, but Joshua made a gesture to stop him.
Joshua was really low-key, but still, the studio director naturally knew his Mr. President.
The director quickly shut his mouth. Joshua stood in the corner coldly, looking at the stage with a smile.
Hazel was a bit cautious. She kept pulling up her dress and then put one hand to cover her chest. "No.68, take it easy." The photographer said softly, "Don't worry, we will just take a few photos of you. And we don't require you to do highly difficult poses. Put your hands down, will you?"
Hazel's fingers tightened. Even though she was dragged into this activity by Ariel, she was a participant now.
Taking a deep breath, Hazel slowly let go of her hands. The beautiful plum birthmark on her chest caught everyone’s eye immediately.
Joshua's eyes turned cold!
The next moment, he walked through the crowd with a gloomy face and moved close to Hazel.
"More natural, smile!" The photographer said.
Wearing such a low-cut dress, Hazel really couldn’t be natural in front of so many people. Moreover, the photographer was trying to get shots on her chest.
Hazel swung her arms, trying to get her blood pumping, but she heard a soft bang.
Hazel’s chest suddenly felt cool, as the whole dress fell to the ground!
She screamed and bent down, swiftly guarding the private areas of her body.
The entire studio grew instantly quiet, as this was the first time they encountered this type of incident.
Hazel was feeling so embarrassed. Her mind went blank. How could this be?
Suddenly, a figure rushed onto the stage, took off his coat, and put it around her.
Hazel gratefully looked up but saw a man in front of her staring at her chest, and... this person looked familiar.
Her face turned red immediately. She still didn’t realize that this gentleman, who just helped her out, was the same pervert she met the other day!
Hazel quickly closed the coat to cover her chest.
Joshua was a little disappointed. He reached out to Hazel's chest and said, "Let go of your hands, I haven't seen it clearly yet..."
"You pervert!" Hazel was furious and slapped on Joshua's face.
Joshua looked totally carried away. He only wanted to see the birthmark on her chest. Did she misunderstand something?
But there were too many people around for him to explain to her. Joshua grabbed Hazel's right arm and said, "Come with me, I will take you to change your clothes."
Hazel had wanted to struggle. After hearing what he said, she covered her body tightly with the coat and dress and quickly caught up with Joshua.
Everything happened too fast. The crowd in the studio was stunned.
The director of the studio looked shocked.
Their president...was beaten? And it seemed that he was acting like a pervert before he was beaten, but then he successfully enticed the girl away.
"Relax, everyone. That guy is our staff who is responsible for handling emergencies."
While everyone was still stunned, the director said on the stage, "Next one, please."
Everyone whispered for a while, but they didn't take it seriously.
Hazel followed Joshua to an office.
Joshua closed the door and looked back at Hazel, then he said with a poker face, "Undress yourself."
"Ha?" Hazel watched him carefully. She then said, "You told me you would help me change clothes? Where are they?"
Joshua grimaced with impatience. He was usually a patient person. But now, he didn’t want to waste one second.
He suddenly reached out and tugged on the suit jacket.
Hazel was frightened. She swiftly dodged him and tried to slap him again. But Joshua grabbed her wrist.
The coat and dress fell to the floor. Hazel screamed and tried to use her other hand to cover her chest.
Joshua quickly caught her other wrist and put her two hands behind her back.
Hazel struggled, but she stepped back and was pushed against the wall by Joshua.
Joshua's gaze fell on the plum birthmark on Hazel. His expression became unpredictable.
"The position and shape were both right with this birthmark. Is it really her?" Joshua was thinking.
Hazel only felt like cold water was poured over her. Now she only had underwear on to cover her. She only had this powerless experience once, the other day...
Hazel looked at Joshua and then said with a stunned look, “It is you!"
"You didn’t recognize me earlier?" Joshua was amazed. He remembered the encounter and thought it was funny.
"You took off my clothes the other day, so now you came to me to take off your clothes as a redemption for your sin, huh?" Joshua twitched his lips and said, "You are so courteous."
"I came here to participate in the preliminary selection!" Hazel was outraged!
"Oh, right. You just reminded me." Joshua said with an evil grin, "So, you really wish to have a child with me?"
"Who wants to have a baby with you? Who the hell do you think you are?" Hazel stared at him angrily.
"I am Joshua, Joshua Denmark."
Hazel was speechless.
She came to an interview for a surrogate mother, and it was Joshua who had organized this activity.
In a sense, girls who came to participate in it wanted to have children with Joshua.
But Hazel did not want to believe the man in front of her was Joshua. He was just a pervert who liked to take advantage of women!
"Since you are Joshua, can you please let me go?" Hazel squeezed a smile.
"No way. " He shook his head, "You didn’t believe me. You just want to run."
Hazel could not say anything.
"But it is not appropriate for us to have a conversation in this way."
"I feel it is very suitable."
"I do not, Master Joshua!" Hazel shouted, "Do you dare to switch positions?"
"Well, you will run if we do that," Joshua said very honestly.
"I promise I won't run, OK?" Hazel was about to cry.
"I don't buy it."
This girl's eyes were drifting, and she was always looking for a chance to get away. He would not let her run.
"What do you want to do?" Hazel asked almost desperately.
"I am really Joshua Denmark." He frowned.
"Fine."
"You do not believe me? "
"I believe you! You are Joshua Denmark, President of Denmark Group, OK?"
"You still don't believe me," Joshua said calmly.
"Enough already!" Hazel was furious, "You bastard, scoundrel! I will start screaming if you don't let go of me now!"
"Are you sure?" Joshua's eyes flickered, "A man has many ways to get a woman to shut up. You want to try?"
Hazel stared at him angrily.
At least... Joshua hadn't done anything strange to her yet. It'd be better not to piss him off at this moment.
Joshua was somewhat disappointed that he did not leave a good impression.
"That night, I met some guys who were bullying your friend, and I helped her. But your friend puked on my coat. And just as I was taking off my coat, you came in." He added, "It was just a misunderstanding. Your friend didn't tell you?"
Hazel looked at him coldly. She did not believe a single word from him. And Summer did not mention it either.
"It appears that your friend didn't tell you about it." Joshua's eyes were sharp.
"I believe this is a misunderstanding. Can you let me go?" Hazel tried to ask nicely.
