Chapter 23: You are my wife now

Jack lifted one corner of his lips in a wicked manner. "What do you think? Whatever you and Andrew can do, I can do too, right?"

"..." Hazel's breath hitched, and she hurriedly explained, "Andrew and I are not what you think."

His eyes roamed around her neck with ill intentions. He was still holding the hand that she injured today. She had worked hard today and soaked it in water, so it was already painful. But he had a strong grip, making her frown and her face pale. However, when she heard his words, her face uncontrollably turned red like two bright red clouds.

His gaze slowly became dark and dangerous, making Hazel panic. "Don't mess around!"

"mess around?" He smiled and lightly touched her lips with his fingers. "Hazel, you are my wife now, I can do whatever I want to you, understand? Including having you in the car. Or are you only for Andrew? Mm?"

His words became more and more vulgar, and his grip became tighter, making Hazel unable to bear the pain. "You're hurting me."

Jack sneered, and his face suddenly became wicked. "This hurts "Hazel, I haven't even given you one tenth of what you've done to me. This hurts?"

If it weren't for Hazel, even if his grandfather didn't like it, he would have convinced him too marry Ashley. But now, he had only said a few words to her, and she couldn't take it?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Like a fierce beast, he suddenly leaned down and fiercely bit Hazel's neck.

'Ugh!"

Hazel widened her eyes, and because of the sudden pain, her face instantly turned pale, and cold sweat broke out.

It hurts so much, and she was afraid that he would do something even more excessive to her later, so she struggled without any regard for herself.

Her cries of pain had grown weak that they sounded like the meows of a kitten to Jack. It was if cat claws were lightly scratching at his heart, causing him to shiver and break out in sweat.

He lifted his eyelid and cast a glance at Hazel, whose face was pale and full of grievances. He furrowed his brows and cursed inwardly. He had only intended to teach her a lesson, but he had almost gone too far....

Ha! How ridiculous! How could he have such a reaction to a woman like Hazel?

He took out a cigarette from his pack and lit it, taking two deep drags before speaking indifferently, "Hazel, this is your lesson, Remember it well. If there's a next time, it won't be so simple, understand?"

Hazel bit her lip, still in shock from the scare.

"You started this marriage thing, so even if you want to rekindle your relationship with Andrew, you have to bear with me! If i catch you messing around with him again, I'll make you regret it!"

"..."

"Now, get out of my car! Don't get in my way!"

The next day, Hazel woke up feeling groggy and weak. She wondered of she had caught a cold while cleaning yesterday.

Thankfully, the bite mark on her neck from Jack had not broken the skin. She had applied medicine last night and now covered it up with a thick layer of foundation. It was hardly noticeable unless one looked closely.

During breakfast she learned from the ,aid that Jack had come back before she finished work yesterday.

"madam, did Mr. Jack come to pick you up yesterday?"

Hazel thought about yesterday's unpleasantness and didn't say a word, just silently ate her breakfast.

"Yesterday, the master came back and asked me about you. Later, I saw that the master was about to leave, and I thought you hadn't come back yet, so I spoke up and asked him to pick you up. Madam... did the master pick you up?

"Um."

Upon hearing this, the maid was somewhat happy and continued, Oh by the way, the master brought something back, it seems to be clothes, and he said it's for you. He mentioned it to me when he left yesterday and said you should wear it to the party tonight."

Hazel frowned slightly. Grandfather had mentioned this yesterday at the old house. Did Jack really plan to take her to the party?

After breakfast she felt a bit weak and took a taxi to Global. Because she had made a mistake in Jacks office yesterday, Donald didn't arrange for her to clean the CEO's office today. However, she still had to finish the remaining work from yesterday, but fortunately, there wasn't much left.

Perhaps she really caught a cold, her speed was slow. When she finally finished cleaning, before she could even catch her breath, Gloria stood in front of her.

"Hazel, busy? "Gloria sneered.

As soon as she saw Gloria, Hazel couldn't help but think of what she heard yesterday, feeling a bit disgusted.

"Do you need something?" She spoke lightly, her eyes flashing with disgust. Because she wasn't feeling well, her voice was weak, making her sound breathless.

"Was it you last night?" Gloria noticed that her voice was low and felt like she was being evasive. 'Was it you?"

Gloria's voice was neither high nor low, and there was no hint of shame on her face.

Hazel was even more repulsed. It was as if she had done something honorable. But those were other people's choices and lives, and she wouldn't interfere.

"What do you mean?" She didn't want to deal with it and pretended to be ignorant.

Hmph! Gloria snorted coldly. "Don't pretend with me. I've asked around. No one worked overtime yesterday except for the security guards and you, who was punished to do overtime. So it must have been you, right?"

Hazel looked at the woman in front of her and suddenly felt a little sorry for her. Donald was just a small supervisor in the cleaning department and seems to be a married person. Gloria was not self-restrained and had hooked up with Donald, feeling superior to her.

"I did work overtime, but I still don't know what you are talking about."

She picked up her cleaning tools and was about to leave, but was pulled back by Gloria. "You don't understand, do you? Let me tell you, Hazel, don't think you're capable just because you have good looks. What else can you do besides that? I warn you, if you hear anything, you better forget it, or else I guarantee you won't be able to stay in Global!"

Hazel was already in a bad mood, and now, hearing Gloria's warning she became angrier.

She was not a meek and submissive person, and besides, she had done nothing wrong. Who was Gloria anyway?

"Gloria, don't talk to me in that tone, It's really annoying, you know? Besides, even if I did hear something, so what? You did something shameful yourself, and you come to question me? Besides, even if I have only looks, what's wrong with that? Does it bother you? Speaking pf which, we're both employees of the cleaning department. Can't we get along well? Don't think you're standing firm just because you have a little backer no. Don't be so shallow. In this world, there are plenty of people with money and power. So, don't say those words that make me unable to stay in Global. You're not qualified enough."

If Jack wanted to deal with her, there were really a thousand and one ways to do it. Gloria was nothing.

Gloria was so angry that she pointed at Hazel's nose and angrily said, "Fine, remember what I said!"

Hazel ignored her and went straight to the cleaning department. Donald immediately asked her to go to the CEO's exclusive floor to clean, and she was a bit puzzled. "Didn't someone already clean it?"

Donald don't seem to be in a good mood today, and his tone was not good either, "Why did I let you go if someone else had cleaned it? "He became angrier as he spoke. "It's all because of you. You didn't finish your work yesterday and ran away. Now the people above are threatening to reorganize our cleaning department. Look at what you've done!"

Hazel pursed her lips and said nothing, feeling helpless. In that situation yesterday, if she didn't follow Jack, what else could she do?

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go! The CEO specifically asked for you to clean, so you better take it easy today!"

Hazel frowned slightly, Jack really couldn't stand her.

When she arrived at the 38th floor, there was only one female secretary, and the whole floor suddenly seemed quiet. It seemed that everyone had gone to a meeting, so Jack should not be in his office, right?"

Thinking so, she relaxed a lot. She didn't knock on the door with her tools and just pushed it open.

"Here?" Jack turned his chair in another direction and looked indifferently at Hazel standing at the door.

Hazel was still secretly happy that he wasn't there, but she didn't expect him to be in the office. Although he had seen her in her work clothes before, she refused to clean in front of him.

"I never knew that it would take more than half of an hour for someone from the cleaning department to come here." He stood up and glanced at her neck ,then looked away. "It seems that my idea today was right. Your cleaning department needs to be reorganized."

Hazel was silent. she didn't know when he wanted her to come and clean, but she just found out about it. He was finding ways to mess with her again.

Although Hazel didn't want to clean in front of him, since he specifically asked her to come, he wouldn't just leave like this, would he?

"Jack..." Jack frowned, looking displeased. "This is the company, so please call me Mr. Jack alright?"

Hazel pinched her fist and nodded lightly. "I understand, Mr. Jack. If there's nothing else, I'll get back to work."

She addressed him as "Mr. Jack" with every word, which made him extremely uncomfortable. Especially when he saw her submissive appearance, it made him even more irritable.

She could be gentle and soft-spoken in front of Andrew, even crying without any reservation, but when she was in front of him, she was stubborn and indifferent. Even when she climbed onto his bed by any means necessary, she only said a pale "I don't know" and sent him away.

In comparison, he felt even more annoyed. After all she was still using his surname, but what kind of attitude did she have towards him?

In anger, he suddenly felt that today's decision was the right one.

He smirked maliciously and said, "Don't worry, I have something good to give you."
