Chapter 81: Did You Miss Me?
Joshua knocked at the door again, he smiled, “Hazel, how long are you going to leave me out here?”
Hazel suddenly collected her thoughts, got up out of bed, and took a deep breath before opening the door.
Joshua was standing in the hallway, she hadn’t seen him for more than two weeks and wanted to cry at the sight of him.
All of her unhappiness faded away, and her heart was full of love and warmth.
Joshua looked at her unexpectedly. She had a pair of lovely yellow pajamas on, which looked fluffy, making people want to touch them.
The moody blush on her face made his heart swell with pity in addition to the cute outfit.
Joshua suddenly reached out his hands and took her in his arms.
“Did you miss me, Hazel?” He asked faintly.
Hazel leaned on him and hugged him tightly.
Joshua smiled, “You can’t even stand on your own two legs because you miss me so much?”
“What a twisted way of thinking you have.” Hazel blushed.
Joshua held her up and helped her back to the bed.
Hazel was sitting on the bed, Joshua reached out his hand and gently stroked her hair.
“Are you stroking a pet dog?” Hazel was amused.
“Sorry.” Joshua smiled, “it just feels good, and I can’t help.”
Hazel glared at him. He indeed regarded her like a pet dog.
Although she had not seen him for so long, there was no sense of strangeness between them. In the eyes of Hazel, Joshua was still so handsome and calm, making her heartbeat like a drum.
“Have you taken any pills?” he put his hands on his forehead.
“Yes, I have.” Hazel suddenly sneezed.
“Is there a thermometer?” he asked.
"You may find one in the pen holder on the table?" Hazel replied.
He found the thermometer and handed it to Hazel, "Take your temperature first."
"I don’t have a fever..." Hazel said so as she took it.
"Have you packed?" Joshua looked around the room.
“Almost finished.” Hazel blushed.
She got the cold not long before her roommates left, her packing was only half done.
“What else needs to be packed?” He asked.
Hazel looked at Joshua surprisingly. Did he plan to help her to pack?
“Well, I can do it myself.” She said bashfully.
“Well, are you able to stand up?” He smiled.
Hazel was too embarrassed to speak a word.
Joshua looked at her luggage. He sighed, "I think they are enough. We have the rest in the house. You don't have to take."
Hazel was still a little dizzy. She thought for a while and nodded.
“Why would you fall ill suddenly?” he sighed.
“I have no idea.” Hazel was tired and yawned.
“Are you thinking of things that will stress you?” he asked.
Hazel was surprised to hear that. She closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, “I’m tired.”
“Hazel. Is it because I ask you to be my secretary?” he suspected and held her hand.
Hazel opened her eyes reluctantly. Joshua seemed to be able to read her mind, he always guessed right.
"Somewhat." She looked down. "I have no experience. I’m afraid I’m not capable."
"Don't worry." Joshua whispered to her, "No one is born with the capability to do everything well. Moreover, you do not have much work to do. I believe in you."
“All right.” Hazel felt relieved.
After finishing the packing, Joshua checked the thermometer. He felt assured knowing that she indeed did not have a fever.
After that, Joshua called his people to carry the luggage since he offered to carry Hazel on his back. Hazel was unable to refuse him, so he carried her down the stairs.
When they arrived at Denmark Residence, Nanny Carter took excellent care of Hazel, and she recovered quickly.
Once she felt better, Hazel decided to get up early one morning and jog a few laps around the house. After she was done, she took a shower then went downstairs to find Joshua sitting at the table and reading the morning newspaper.
“Come here.” He spoke to her.
Hazel sat down at the table, she thought about things for a while and finally asked, "Joshua, when do I need to go to the company?"
Since she had moved in, Joshua had not spoken about her starting work.
"When do you want to go?" He laid aside the newspaper.
“Anytime. What about today?” She proposed.
"Okay. You can directly go to the personnel department to report for duty." Joshua smiled, "We can go together later, let me drive you to the company."
“No.” Hazel refused immediately.
“What?” Joshua looked at her surprisingly.
"I don't want to go with you. I want to take the bus myself." Hazel replied.
“Hazel,” Joshua furrowed his eyebrows slightly and said, “It is not convenient to take a bus, and it is not…”
Hazel cut in before he spoke out the word ‘safe’, “What if others see us together. How do you explain it? I am going to your company for an internship, not to do something special. If you don't let me take the bus, then I won’t go."
Joshua was left speechless.
Hazel was stubborn sometimes, but this time it seemed that he had to give in.
"Well," Joshua nodded. "However, you need to text me when you get on and off. I need to know that you are safe."
“Ah?” Hazel looked at him with a puzzled look, “Joshua, I think you care too much about my safety.”
Hazel was sensitive, and it was true that he cared about her safety very much.
Although her identity had not been exposed yet, it was difficult to say whether she would be targeted or not.
"Why do not care about your safety?" He said, "Text me. Period."
Hazel was uncomfortable, thinking that he would be concerned, she sighed, “Okay. I will text.”
Joshua told her where the nearest bus stop was, and he drove the car around until he saw Hazel get on the bus, then he followed the bus.
When Hazel arrived at Denmark Group, she took out the certificate Joshua gave her and went to the floor where the personnel department was located.
She heard a quarrel the moment she got out of the elevator.
"How did you walk? Are you blind?" Then she heard the sound of a slap on the face.
