Chapter 21: She hasn't come back yet

Jack sat in the car, holding a cigarette and staring out the window at the night sky, lost in thought.

After a while, he turned his head and glanced at the gift box on the passenger seat, his thin lips pursed into a line.

Starting the car, he left the Aiden family mansion. There weren't many cars on the road at night.He now lived In the platinum mansion, which was not far from the company.

Turning right ahead was the road to platinum mansion, but he frowned and drove straight to Rose villa.

"Sir, you're back? The maid was surprised to see Jack returning.

Holding the gift box, Jack glanced at the direction of the living room. "Where is she?"

"Madam? she hasn't come back yet." she replied. "I called her and she said she had work to do overtime. I left her some food, so she can eat when she gets back."

Jack frowned slightly, nodded to show he understood, and then went to the living room with the gift box. Was that woman , Hazel still at the company? He didn't ask her to do to much today, just clean the three floors. It took her so long? Ha, she really was a good girl!

Although he thought so, he didn't show any expression on his face. He sat in the living room, bored, and watched the news channel.

The male owner of the house rarely came back, and he wasn't leaving now, nor was he going upstairs to rest. The maid didn't dare to go back to her room either.

When it was past ten O'clock, Jack got up and left.

"Sir," the maid hurriedly followed him out. "Are you..going to pick up madam?"

Jack raised an eyebrow and didn't answer, just looked at the hesitant maid.

'Um..." the maid smiled awkwardly, "Sir, why don't you go pick up madam?She didn't drive to work today or back home. It's late now, and she's a girl. It's not safe."

Global.

The lights in the company were only on in the corridors and stair wells, not particularly bright. She was now hungry and tired, and of course, angry. Finally, she had finished cleaning up to the third floor, but there was not enough cleaning solution left.

She sighed and had to go to the cleaning department to get something. If Jack wanted to make fun of her, she wouldn't let him. Fortunately, she had some dry food in her drawer, which could relieve her hunger later.

The people in the cleaning department had all left, and it was pitch black inside. She reached out to push the door, but a female voice suddenly came from inside----

"Again?"

Hazel frowned. It sounded like Gloria.

Although she had only been in the cleaning department for two days, she had a general idea of the people inside. Gloria looked okay, but she always had a high and mighty attitude, as if she didn't care about anyone. But now, her voice clearly had a hint of coquetry and flattery.

"It's already the second time."

Donald? And Gloria?

Even Hazel,who was not very smart, understood what those two were doing inside. It seemed that they had just finished. No wonder Gloria usually acted like that. It turned out that she had found Donald as her backer.

"How many days has it been since you last came to my place?" Gloria was not happy. " And now there's no one here."

"Don't be silly. Don't forget, Hazel is still cleaning. What if she suddenly comes back?"

"Are you afraid of her?"

Am I afraid of her? Donald snorted discontentedly.

"Of course, you're not afraid of her. Do you think I can't see that you like her? I saw it in your office today. Your eyes were different when you looked at her!"

"What are you talking about?"

Hazel tightly pursed her lips, listening to the voices coming from inside, feeling nauseous. Now, she didn't want to go in anymore, afraid that seeing the two people inside would make her want to vomit.

When she turned around, she accidentally bumped into the door panel. Although the sound was not loud, it instantly alerted the people inside who shouted, "Who?!"

Hazel was startled and turned around to run, but suddenly bumped into someone's arms.

Her heart panicked, and she was about to scream out of reflex, but her mouth was covered by someone's hand.....

Hazel was taken to a relatively safe corner by someone. When she saw the person in front of her, she was surprised and a little happy, "Brother Andrew?"

Andrew smiled gently, his eyes curved, "Hazel, I'm back." He then said, "Today, I went to your house."

Andrew was a gentleman, his manner and behavior were very polite, this kind of person who would make person feel at ease at first glance. Most importantly, although he had not known her for long, he was very good to her.

Hazel pursed her lips and changed the subject, "How did you get in?"

Global had an employee card, and if you were not an employee, you had to be led in by someone.

"Don't worry about that."

Hazel nodded, "You've been away for a long time this time."

"Yeah," Andrew replied, and the smile on his face faded a lot. He looked at her with regret and self-blame, "Everything has changed when I come back. If I had known that you would marry someone else when I left, Hazel, I wouldn't have gone.

Hazel shook her head, "You had your own things to do, and ...."

"Is he treating her well?" Andrew asked directly.

Hazel was silent for a moment, the smiled and said, "Well."

"Well?" Andrew suddenly became angry. He pointed to her work clothes and said, "Is this what you deserve?Is cleaning what you should be doing?That bastard Jack is really too much!"

It was the first time she had seen him so angry, but she couldn't say anything , only silence.

Marriage was her own choice, so what complaints could she have now?

"Hazel," Andrew grabbed her, "Come with me!"

Hazel smiled bitterly and shook her head, "No."

"Hazel?" Andrew widened his eyes.

"Jack doesn't love you! He's still torturing you like this, why don't you leave? I went to your house and I know what happened to you these days. Seeing you like this, do you know how much it hurts me?" He suddenly hugged her tightly and said with heartache, "For so many years, you should understand my feelings. I love you, and I can't bear to see you suffer even a little a bit, do you understand?"

His heart was beating very fast.

Hazel leaned on his chest, and if she said she wasn't moved at all, it would be a lie. Andrew had always been good to her, but had never crossed the line. He had always been like an elder brother taking care of her.

But today, he...confessed his love to her. However, she was moved but didn't feel the same way. Despite this, tears streamed down her face. Was it because she felt wronged.

Suddenly, she pushed him away and choked out, "You should go back. I haven't finished my

work yet."

"Hazel!"

"Hmmm." Hazel wiped away her tears. "I am Hazel, but now ..... I am also Mrs. Jack Aiden."
