It was hot and didn’t rain these days.
Dave carried a bag of fruits into the ward and his shirt was wet with sweat.
Lindsey was weak and could not eat some fruits. After Dave consulted the doctor, he went out to buy some edible to quench their thirst.
“Dave, did you go out?”
When Lindsey saw Dave, she called Hazel to help him get a towel and let him wash his face in the bathroom.
“Mrs. Horatio, I bought some fruits.”
Dave said with a smile.
A few days ago, he took the money scattered by Baron with fans. He was about average height but nimble. He shuttled through the crowd and took two thousand.
He did not give the money to his parents and kept it himself, so he was very much in cash these days.
“Take a rest.”
The more Lindsey looked at Dave, the more satisfied with this son-in-law she became.
Lindsey couldn’t help but nod. In the future, when her daughter married Dave, they would live a peaceful life. They could work together to buy a car and a house.
She was not a person who likes money very much. She just wanted her daughter happy.
Hazel lifted the corner of her mouth into a slight smile. She now knew what was a mismatch.
Dave was unsophisticated and simply regarded Hazel as a friend.
Moreover, Baron wanted her to be his woman.
Hazel’s eyes darkened. She didn’t understand why Baron would fall for her. Overbearing as he is, will he restrict her freedom in the future like a canary in a cage?
Dave came out of the bathroom. Lindsey’s enthusiasm made him feel uneasy.
However, Lindsey was seriously hurt and she quickly fell asleep.
“Hazel, did Mrs. Horatio misunderstand something?”
Dave wiped the water droplets off his face. Even if he liked Hazel, he wouldn’t dare to compete with Baron. Moreover, he treated Hazel as Anna. They were both his sisters.
Seeing her once in a sorry state, he remembered the hard days when he had just come here.
“I don’t understand why people misinterpret Baron. He is a nice person.”
It was simply nonsense to say Baron was ugly and impotent.
Baron was handsome and rich, and he had no casual dating. Although he had some mental mysophobia, he was a real noble bachelor.
“A nice person?”
Hazel held her cheeks. What made one a good person?
If doing charity is one quality, Baron had indeed done it before. However, he did not show any mercy when buying other companies. He also ruined many people’s families.
The business world was like a battlefield. He was decisive and rarely involved personal emotions.
“How could such a cold man be a nice person?” Hazel clearly remembered that night when she escaped from the Plum Blossom Organization. Baron discovered her, but he turned a blind eye to it.
“That’s because there are always women who use all kinds of tricks to get close to Baron.”
Dave once justified Baron. The varied tricks that those women used made it hard to predict.
Baron hated women. If it wasn’t someone he was familiar with, she wouldn’t be able to sit in his car at all.
The luxury car stained by the dirt on Hazel’s body that night had been given to the chef in the Floyd’s to buy groceries.
Ordinary women were easier to deal with. Baron could just ignore them.
However, Wendy is intractable.
In a few days, the Turners would hold a birthday banquet for Edie’s father. Baron and Wendy were both invited.
If Hazel accompanied Baron to attend the banquet, the situation would probably be awkward.
Soon, Hazel received an invitation letter from Edie.
The invitation letter was a red card with golden words on it. The letter was said to imitate that of birthday banquets in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The exquisite golden words were made of gold foil.
“Hazel, you must come. Remember to bring your male companion.”
Edie blinked. She had mentioned Hazel to her parents.
Edie’s parents did not interfere in her social life, but when they heard that Hazel was just an unknown actress, they still frowned.
The gap between them was too great. It was inevitable that people would misunderstand Hazel approaching Edie for her power and money.
Moreover, hearing that she had some relationship with Baron, Edie’s mother naturally felt that there must be something between them.
Therefore, she readily agreed to Edie’s invitation to Hazel.
“Male companion?”
Hazel was in a dilemma. Her classmates did make a name in the entertainment industry, but they were not qualified to attend the banquet of the Turner family.
Moreover, those people were arrogant and rarely contacted her.
“Hazel, is Hazel here? Come in please.”
A staff member came out of the audition shed and shouted with a speaker in his hand.
Hazel hurriedly responded.
“Teens” was confirmed to be no longer shooting. Even if it was to commemorate Sally, it had caused much controversy. Some of Sally’s anti-fans felt it was a pity.
In the current situation, no one dared to play the female lead.
The new female lead would be scolded and attacked for any association with Sally, no matter how good her performance would be.
Perhaps, it was the best decision to give up the shooting.
Hazel had lost some of her income and could only work harder. She could not rely on others for a lifetime.
Interestingly, the crew that she was applying for was “Bubble Youth” once competing with “Teens.”
Hazel had this opportunity for the sake of Kyle’s recommendation.
“Yes, she looks good.”
The investor glanced lustfully at Hazel and nodded repeatedly. Then, he whispered to the director.
‘The meaning of Hazel’s name is good,’ he thought.
The investor gulped and wondered, ‘She should be a natural beauty, shouldn’t she?’
“Ms. Horatio, are you interested in the role of the female lead?”
The investor smiled vulgarly, revealing the scheme in his heart.
Hazel’s heart skipped a beat. She had been unwilling to attend the audition.
However, she could not disappoint Kyle.
She could get high pay. The shooting time was short and scattered. Everything seemed to be suitable for her.
On the Internet, it was said that it was the investor and director who had set Mr. Field and “Teens” up.
Although there was no evidence, they were suspicious.
Just based on the preconceived news, Hazel hated the director and investor.
“How do you think of it? If you want, you can come to the hotel to find me at night.”
Facing the scorching gaze of the investor and the director, a trace of disgust quickly flashed through Hazel’s eyes.
She didn’t meet such a situation for the first time. Many times, she subconsciously fled away.
Fannie thought that Hazel was a loser who could not be helped up, so every time she attended a party of wealthy businessmen, she would never bring Hazel along.
