Chapter 84: Good For You

Hazel suddenly touched his face, Joshua grabbed her hand and sighed, “Hazel, what have you been drinking?”

Her face now was like a pink-peach color and looked very attractive.

“I drank the beverage from the refrigerator, it was delicious.” Hazel cocked her head and said.

“Which one?” He asked.

“The pink one.” She thought for a while and replied.

“Even fruit wine can make you drunk.” Joshua felt funny and touched the tip of her nose, “Good for you!”

“That was wine?” Hazel was puzzled, “Then that can explain why I feel dizzy. Joshua, I have ruined the opportunity of Vanessa giving herself to you. Are you mad at me?”

Joshua smiled, “What about you compensate me by giving yourself to me?”

“No way.” Hazel pushed him away.

“Let me make you some Sober-up Tea.” Joshua sighed. She was drunk, but she was in some ways sober.

Hazel nodded her head and sat on the sofa waiting.

Joshua handed her the tea to her, and she drank it obediently.

“Joshua, have you seriously fought for her?” Hazel looked at him jealously. “You were even injured and in the hospital for a few days. You were young and bold, I can understand that, but...”

She said she could understand, but she still pouted. Joshua smiled at her, he seemed to be amused that she drank the wine.

“When did that happen?” Joshua raised his eyebrows.

Hazel told him what she had heard from Vanessa.

Joshua remembered, “Oh, that makes sense!”

Hazel was unhappy. “I can see from your reaction that they were true.”

"After I refused Vanessa, there was indeed another guy pursuing her. Later, she told him that if he could beat me, she would agree to be his girlfriend. I did not know that at that time and beat him up." Joshua sighed regretfully, "If I knew, I would have done my best to lose."

His words amused Hazel. She kept asking, "What about the thing in the bar?"

"I was not alone that time,” Joshua replied. “Kenny and Isaac were also there.” Vanessa started the fight, and Kenny fought with the guy to protect her. Isaac and I were not going to sit there watching, we joined in on the fighting, and as a result, we were all injured. However, Kenny and Isaac hurt more seriously than I did. They were in the hospital for at least two weeks."

“She is indeed a trouble-maker,” Hazel concluded.

“You can say that again.” Joshua nodded his head.

Hazel suddenly shouted, “Oh no!”

“What happened?” Joshua was surprised.

"I haven't gone to the personnel department yet!" Hazel hit herself on the head. "I need to go immediately.”

She stood up from the sofa but quickly realized she could not stand up straight.

Joshua held her immediately, “you need to rest first, and I’ll let someone else help you with that.”

“I can do it myself.” Hazel insisted.

“We have regulations here that you are not allowed to drink alcohol during working hours.” Joshua said to her, “If you go do that yourself, you will have a demerit put on your record, and your wages will be deducted.”

There was a beep from the bathroom, indicating the washer stopped.

Hazel said happily. "The clothes were ready. I will send them to Victoria."

“Who?” Joshua asked.

Hazel froze.

“What’s wrong?” Joshua was puzzled.

“What should I do? Joshua.” Hazel said in a sad voice, “I only know her name, I don’t even know which department she is in.”

Joshua smiled, “Tell me what has happened, I’ll help you to find her.”

Hazel told him everything that had happened earlier.

Joshua furrowed his eyebrows, “Hazel, do you need my help with this?”

"Forget about it." Hazel thought for a moment and shook her head. "I think Victoria was quite right. You cannot drive Vanessa away because of such a little thing. What’s more, she will definitely bully Victoria if we anger her. What about if you give Victoria paid sick leave and let her rest for two days?"

“Okay. I will do as you say.” Joshua nodded his head.

***

Victoria had never thought that the assistant of President Joshua would be looking for her.

“Miss Victoria, here are your clothes.” Jaxson handed her the package with her clothes in politely.

Victoria accepted them with a look of surprise. Hazel had taken her clothes, so why would Jaxson bring them back?

“The President already knew what has happened this morning.”

How could he know that? Victoria was very puzzled and still too shocked. She felt as if she was going to pass out.

"You can rest assured that the President knows your concerns and will not make this public. Sorry for you suffering such an injustice." Jaxson said sincerely.

Victoria was even more puzzled, it was all too unreal. She did indeed feel very persecuted when Vanessa bullied her. Now that President Joshua Denmark had sent his assistant to soothe her, she did not feel mistreated at all.

"By the way, Mr. President has told me to give you two days of paid leave," Jaxson continued, "And it is better to go to the hospital for a further check-up. Rest assured, this would be regarded as an occupational injury. If necessary, I can arrange for someone to go to the hospital with you."

"Don’t bother." Victoria finally collected herself and shook her head. "Thank you so much, sir. I will go to the hospital myself, I don't need someone else to accompany me."

"Okay." Jaxson did not force her. He handed his business card to her. "If there is any problem, you can contact me directly."

"Thank you." Victoria took the card from him. However, she did not expect that this business card would actually come in handy in the future.

When Jaxson left, Victoria happily prepared to go home and rest. However, later she was thinking of why Joshua Denmark would be aware of this little situation.

Hazel and Vanessa were the only others who knew what happened, it must have been Hazel who told him.

But how? When she only knew Joshua for such a short time?

Suddenly, she thought of something and took out her phone. Though Joshua had made the media delete the news about his news release, there was still some to be found.

Victoria saw the light instantaneously.

She knew why Hazel’s name sounded so familiar.
