The security guard who stopped Katie complained to his colleagues helplessly. Since then, the fact that Katie waited downstairs at Denmark Group had spread among employees at Denmark Group.
Hazel's lips twitched.
It seemed Katie planned to keep waiting to let Joshua see her sincerity to "impress" him in this way.
After that, Hazel returned to the President's office.
Joshua came back ahead of her.
"Where have you been?" he asked in surprise.
"The secretaries' office," she said, looking at him darkly. "I heard an interesting story."
"What?" He c.o.c.ked an eyebrow slightly.
Since she deliberately mentioned it, it meant that this was by no means trivial.
"There's a person down there at Denmark Group waiting for you." Hazel came up behind him, put her hands directly on his shoulder, and said with jealousness, "Are you touched?"
Feeling the pressure on his shoulder, he looked back at Hazel's jealous face and smiled slightly. "No."
Hazel looked relaxed, but Joshua put his palms on her arms the next moment and pulled her into his arms with strength.
"Shall I have her driven away?" he whispered.
Joshua loved Hazel's expression when she was jealous. He knew clearly that Hazel was jealous because she cared about him.
Hazel intended to nod but suddenly paused.
She really hated Katie. When they met for the first time, Joshua had clearly told Katie that she was his wife, but Katie actually repeatedly pestered him, apparently determined to steal him away and act as a mistress.
Such a brazen woman really challenged her patience. This time, she didn't want to let Katie go so easily. Now that she dared to have her eye on her man, she would teach the woman a lesson!
"No need, don't drive her away." Hazel's mouth tilted upwards slightly at the corners. "It's 38 degrees Centigrade out there. Since she wants to wait, let her wait."
"It's up to you." Joshua smiled slightly.
As long as she was happy, Hazel could play any way she wanted. Even if she went too far, he would help her deal with the mess.

Waiting downstairs, Katie felt her whole body was in a state of prostration in the sun, even her back was covered with sweat.
She had planned to find a shady place to hide, but the security guards drove her away to the sun without hesitation.
She felt so miserable that she wanted to give up at any moment. But she had been waiting for so long, if she could not show Joshua her sincerity, she would have waited in vain.
But it was so hot...
Suddenly, Katie saw a group of people running in her direction.
She looked surprised. At first, she thought it was just her illusion, because after all, the Denmark Group was next to her, and it was more likely that they came here for Denmark Group.
Before Katie understood what was happening, the reporters surrounded her and even took pictures of her.
"You're Miss Katie from the Shawn family, aren't you?"
"I heard you've been waiting here for Master Denmark for over four hours, right?"
"Are you waiting for him to make a chance encounter?"
"You should know that Master Denmark and Hazel Crowe have gone public with their relationship. Are you doing this in a bid to be the mistress?"
"I heard that your mother also used to be a mistress. Are you planning to do the same?"
***
Listening to the questions in succession, Katie's brain went blank!
Why did these reporters show up here out of the blue?
The next moment, she put her hands over her face and did her best to push her way through the crowd, but the reporters completely surrounded her, and she had no way out.
She became more fl.u.s.tered. She couldn't leave, so she had to think of other ways. She shouted, "Stop it! Don't shoot! I don't know what you're talking about! I'm just here to cooperate with Denmark Group!"
"Miss Shawn, we have consulted Denmark Group. The Shawn family and Denmark Group have no cooperation at all. Your reason just doesn't hold water! Will you please answer our questions truthfully?"
Katie's face turned pale. These people… clearly aimed at and embarrassed her on purpose! Who caused it? It must be her! Without hesitation, Katie thought of Hazel and was more furious.
Now, no matter how she explained it, no one would believe her. Then she hardened her heart and said, clenching her teeth, "You've got the wrong person. I'm not Katie Shawn..."
With that, she deliberately threw a certificate on the ground.
Some reporters quickly picked it up and snapped pictures of the name "Callie Shawn" on it.
"Give the certificate back to me!" Katie pretended to snatch it back.
"Miss Katie, according to an informant, I heard that you have repeatedly framed your sister Callie Shawn in this way. Is it true?" a reporter suddenly asked.
"What nonsense?" Katie covered her face and shouted in exasperation, "No! I'm exactly Callie Shawn!"
Refusing to give up, the reporter began to give examples. "A year ago, at the Shawn family's dinner party…."
Katie's face became uglier as she listened to past stories. Worse still, no matter how hard she tried to hide, some people tried to take pictures of her face!
No, she would be ruined if it continued! This time, apparently, someone was after her!
Katie couldn't stand it anymore. She pushed away from the reporters frantically, trying to get out of the crowds this way!
There was confusion among the reporters. Katie's hand hit countless cameras and people. Many cameras fell to the ground.
Many reporters were furious. "How can you break my camera?"
"Yeah, how do you hit people?"
Just then, someone gave Katie a retaliatory push, and she fell on her face.
"No! No shooting!" Katie bellowed feebly, but she ended up covering her face awkwardly as she pushed her way through the crowd.
Hazel stood at the window of the President's office. She could clearly see everything downstairs.
She couldn't help but tsk and look at Joshua in surprise. "You really don't know how to show tenderness toward a woman."
It wasn't her idea. Her original intention was just to let Katie bask and suffer.
But Joshua directly called the media and kindly provided 'revelations.'
