Bab 7: CHAPTER 7
"What? Are you gonna throw yourself in my…"
Chase turned around in disdain, only to see a furious Hazel pouncing on him with her high heels in her hands like a fierce cat. Before Chase could know what had happened, he had been hit more than a dozen times.
"Why are you always so violent to me? I don't owe you anything? Huh? Why are you always so arrogant and cruel!"
Chase was so stunned that he forgot to fight back at all. He just stood up straight and took the hit.
All the years he had known Hazel, she had always been as timid and weak. She did not even dare to speak too loudly, let alone hit anyone with her shoes.
But now, she was striking him with the high heels, which was simply unreal and surprising for Chase.
"Stop that, woman! Don't force me to the shoe from you."
Hazel ignored his threat and kicked it between his legs with all her might.
She was not the same weak, cowardly Hazel she used to be.
If anyone messed with her, she fought back.
"Ow!" Chase was caught off guard and was kicked in the crotch. The pain coming from the most vulnerable part of him made his eyebrows twitch.
"How dare you kick me?"
"I'll kick you again if you continue to offend me. We'd better stay out of each other's way. Don't think I'm afraid of you, this time around, I will fight back."
Silently, Chase fixed his eyes on Hazel in disbelief.
She had really changed a lot.
This woman changed from scared rabbit to a much wilder beast.
"Oh, you ask for it, woman!" Chase snapped, clutching Hazel's arm and thrusting her against the sink.
He had never been beaten by anyone before.
Most importantly, this woman kicked him in his… well, the part that he cherished the most! If he had not been tall enough, he would probably be impotent right now.
This woman must be insane.
Chase pressed her down on the sink. Yet Hazel didn't want to be outdone! By using her hands and her feet, she never stopped struggling.
This was when the bodyguard at the door heard the noise inside and stormed in!
"Mr. Black… I'm sorry!" said the bodyguard. Then he closed the door hastily with a loud bang.
It was not his fault to misread the situation. After all, Chase and Hazel were indeed in weird positions.
The bodyguard stood at the door again and stroked his chest with lingering fear. "Phew, that was close. I almost interrupted Mr. Black. I didn't expect that after six years, Ms. Haynes is still so good with men. Hmm, that's something about that woman. She still managed to hook up with her ex–husband, even though she's now with Mr. Woods! Oh, man, poor Mr. Black. He has fallen in the same trap of that woman twice now."
Hazel, pale and disheveled, pushed Chase away angrily
"Chase Black, you're insulting me as well as yourself. If you disrespect me again, don't blame me for being rude. What is between us is purely business. I don't want anything to do with you in private."
Chase snorted with scornful laughter. "You think I want to have anything to do with you? That's ridiculous."
He ran the wealthiest family business in the city. He was influential. Countless people tried desperately to flatter him.
And this was the first time in Chase's life that he had ever heard anyone say no to having a relationship with him.
It seemed that he had made the right decision to come here today.
"Just you wait, you scheming woman. I'll make your life miserable!"
With an evil smile, Chase adjusted his tie and strode out of the bathroom with his long legs.
Back to the conference room.
Hazel, who had fixed her makeup, pushed the door open and drew everyone's attention at once.
They were all looking at her with profound contempt
Chase slouched back in his chair. The way his thumb played with the corners of his lips made the others believe at once that he just had sex in the restroom and was now savoring the moment.
Hazel had history, and together with the fact that she happened to be in the restroom, too, the others were convinced that these two had had it a go.
After all, that was exactly what Hazel did to Chase nine years ago, and by doing so, she forced his sister to leave and marry into the Black family herself.
Of course, Hazel noticed the meaningful looks on their faces. Her face fell, and her mood was at its worst.
"Let's begin," she said crisply.
Mr. Roger and Mr. Paul put on serious faces at once and sat up a little straighter.
Chris, with a livid face, squinted at Hazel for a second and then threw a glance at Chase.
He was so mad.
To be honest, he never liked his eldest daughter. Chris made up his mind that if Hazel dared to mess with the relationship between Lyra and Chase again, he would disown Hazel for sure.
"Hazel, most here are older and more experienced than you. So don't be so serious. It's Rude. Meanwhile, Dad has talked to Mr. Roger and Mr. Paul. We all agreed that you could come to work here, but you need to start at the bottom. Once you get familiar with the operation and management, we can consider…"
Hazel's pretty face sank, and she cut Chris off. "Dad, I'm calling a board meeting today because I have an announcement to make. As of next month, I will inherit 60% of the Haynes Group in accordance with my grandfather's will, taking over as the executive director. At the same time, there will be some changes in personnel management. So I want you all to get ready for it."
Chris's face darkened when he heard this.
It seemed that his eldest daughter was not only going to destroy her sister's romantic relationship, but she was also going to claim the property that belonged to her two brothers.
"Hazel, you're too young and simple. Running a company is not a child play as you think it is."
Mr. Roger and Mr. Paul also sneered. "Hazel, the Haynes Group is your grandfather's life's work, and we all have put much work into it over the years. It's not child's play, and it's not that we look down on you. It's just a simple truth that a little girl with no experience can not bear such a heavy burden."
Hazel gave them a confident smile after hearing so.
Then from the briefcase, she drew out of a few stacks of documents and had her assistant distribute them to the others.
"Here's my experience from overseas. If you'd like to see it. Vice–president of VC Technologies…"
When seeing this, Mr. Roger and Mr. Paul looked up at Hazel in disbelief.
VC Technologies was one of the top 50 global companies in the world. It mainly focused on the research and development of new technology projects such as computers.
Meanwhile, VC Technologies also covered the fields such as automobiles, electrical appliances, and even accessories.
And it turned out that Hazel was the vice–president of VC.
How was that possible?
