"What do you mean? They are old," Haylee leaned her face closer to him and covered one side of her mouth with her hand, whispering to him to avoid the chefs from hearing them.
"They're not old. They're just twenty-seven," he whispered to her as well with a bit of jealousy.
"They're old then. Are you in your right mind? I'm seventeen. It's ten years apart between me and them. They're like young uncles to me. I'm not into older guys, you know..." Haylee felt like it was kind of silly for him to think that she was flirting with the chefs.
"Really? Are you sure about that? What if they're rich?" Niel still wasn't satisfied. He suddenly developed some kind of possessive trait over Haylee. He felt like he couldn't stand it seeing her talking with another man.
"You're the top one billionaire inside this metropolis. Who could possibly be richer than you?" Haylee glared at him in annoyance.
She could see Niel was smirking in gratification when he heard
Haylee rushed out of the penthouse and didn't look back at all. She avoided any eye contact with Niel and pretended to act normally. She could sense Niel was eyeballing her in restlessness."Why is she in a rush anyway? Did someone was waiting for her at the foyer?" Niel mumbled alone. He couldn't stand the uneasiness, thus he went to take his wallet and his phone as well and went out of the penthouse to spy on Haylee."I'll be back in about twenty minutes," he told the chefs before he left.Haylee arrived at the ground floor. As soon after the VIP elevator door was opened, she walked speedily to the front desk of the building. Anna was looking through her phone when Haylee reached her."Hi," She bravely greeted Anna. Anna was indeed a bit older than her, maybe around the same age as the penthouse chefs. Yet, Haylee had the courage to talk casually to her, probably because all Niel's subordinates treated her respectfully like a little Madam.Anna w
"That's just limitation for normal people who lived normal lives. I'm not really that normal. So, age wasn't really a restriction for me to apply for a credit card. I only applied it to ease my spending process. I can't possibly buy some jewellery worth millions for you and then pay in cash, can I? How am I supposed to carry that many bills inside my wallet?""No. Just take it back. I don't need it," Haylee refused and pushed away his hand that was handing her the credit card."Really? Are you sure? You're going to regret this..." He deliberately tried to intimidate her, saying that she might regret it later. He slowly pushed back the credit card inside the card slot of his wallet right in front of her. Yet, Haylee remained still giving no reaction. She didn't even stop him or take the card away from him like he would expect her to do. The credit card went safely inside his wallet again and he folded his wallet."Well, in case you change your mind later, just ta
She lay down beside him and tried to embrace his body. His sleep got disturbed and Niel opened his eyes for a while. He saw Haylee move her body closer to him and tried to nestle in his arm. He grabbed her waist and embraced her gently. "Why aren't you sleeping yet?" He asked her with a hoarse voice. He could feel her naughtily groping his dong in between his thighs and he giggled as her hand suddenly played with it. 'How dared you seduce me when you said no sex tonight,' he grumbled inwardly. "Baby Girl, stop that. Someone might turn into a beast and force you to play until morning,' he said to Haylee playfully and grabbed her hands that kept playing with his dong. He heard her chuckle at his words. Somehow, her voice felt like the most melodious sound he had ever heard. He couldn't get enough of it. He kept wanting to hear her chuckling so he teased her more and started groping her body and tickled her a little. Haylee laughed instantly as his hand
"But, Young Master... It's your birthday today," Ben said to him. Niel gazed up to look at Ben and gave him an innocent look. The look of a helpless child. Ben quickly squatted down to match his height with the seven years old Niel."They said that they need to leave," Niel said softly to him.Ben stared at his parents that were still arguing on who should stay behind to accompany Niel for his birthday."Excuse me, Mrs Hampton and Master William," Ben tried to grab their attention but they ignored him as if he was a shadow.Ben looked at Niel again and saw the hurtful gaze in his eyes. 'How can they do that in front of a seven years old child? Arguing on a matter of who should stay behind to celebrate their own son's birthday. Aren't they feel sorry for Young Master? He might be just a seven years old kid, but he had feelings too,' Ben murmured internally as he saw the couple kept arguing nonstop."Oh, I forgot you were there," Meredith suddenly ga
"Okay," she replied cheerfully.She walked speedily to the bed and put the laptop on it. Then she went to Niel again and hugged his left arm like a child. Niel just scoffed at her childish behaviour. 'I'm raising a kid,' he mumbled inwardly, feeling like he was a father to Haylee. The clock showed past nine, they got out of the penthouse in a hurry and went down to the foyer. As soon as the VIP elevator arrived on the ground floor, they headed straight to the Mon Amour Restaurant and entered it."Is it open?" Haylee asked Niel abruptly since there was no one inside the restaurant. It was empty but the lights were on and Haylee could hear that there were people working in the back kitchen."Of course, it's open. It'll open whenever I say it's open," Niel replied snobbishly, intending to annoy her. He could see Haylee was scoffing at him.Some classical music was playing in the background. A table was set in the middle of the cafe for them. Niel pulled one
When it was finally Sunday, Niel sent Haylee back to the lakehouse again. As usual, he didn't stay and leave right away after he dropped her off. He was busy since he needed to deal with some work-related matters and made preparation for Monday.That night, Haylee had dinner with Martha and Ben again. After dinner she stayed at the dining table and surfed the internet from her phone, trying to find some part-time jobs near the school area. Martha was taking the dishes on the dining table to the kitchen and she unconsciously saw what Haylee was doing. 'Why would this kid try to find a part-time job? Is the money that Mr Andersan gave her wasn't enough?' She wondered internally."Are you trying to find a part-time job?" Martha asked Haylee casually.Since Haylee had been living inside the lakehouse for almost a month now, she had become close to Martha and Ben. They always had dinner together when Niel was not around."Yes. But it's so hard to find the one
The next day, Haylee went to school as usual. She didn't want to think much about what Ben said to her last night after dinner. She had checked her bank account. It was true that a thousand dollars had been transferred to her bank account last Friday, proving that Ben was telling her the truth about the school allowance.Yet, she went on with her decision on not using Niel's money and continued to find a part-time job as she had planned before. She walked to the school field during recess time, trying to find someplace to be alone. There was a new grandstand built beside the field and the chairs were all new. She went to sit on one of the chairs."This is refreshing," she mumbled alone while observing the blue and orange chairs on the grandstand.After a while, she took out her phone and started surfing the internet again. She still hadn't decided what kind of part-time jobs she wanted to do and she kept scrolling between the internet pages that showed some loca
It was Wednesday. Today, it finally marked as a month that Haylee had stayed in Niel's house. Right after school, Haylee requested Ben to send her to her old house. She had been preparing to meet her mother again after a month. She figured that whatever might happen later, she just going to suck it up and bear with it. It was the right thing to do after all. She needed to return home. She couldn't possibly live with Niel forever, that's just not right for her. She didn't want to depend on him forever, so no matter how bitter her life might be after this, she would just try to bear with it until she enter college. It just a year left. After she went into college, she'll be free again from having to live with her abusive stepfather. Since Ben already knew her intention to return home, he didn't ask much when she requested to be sent to her old house. He just drove her there straight from school. However, when they arrived, Haylee felt a bit weird because she saw a real estate signboard
