Out of curiosity, Monique spun her head to have a look at the helicopter that was hovering in the sky. From the chopper came a person holding a high-quality silvered tray with 'Food Hall’ being craved underneath the tray. Then, came a few more men who all carried similar trays as well.'Again from the Food Hall?'The crowd was stunned upon witnessing the scene.Some even felt utterly envious.'Was it true about the legendary rumors about Food Hall?''Did it really required reservations a month ahead?'It's been twice in one day that food was delivered from the Food Hall which was pretty obvious that it was just booked not long ago and freshly out from the oven.The first time was for the daughter of this woman, and the other was for this woman.She was nothing but only a chauffeur!Dressing up ordinarily with an ordinary look along with a pair of seductive eyes.However, the chairman treated this woman well!!At noon, everyone was already envious and jealous when the food
Henry headed straight back to work after the meal while Monique made her way back to Louise. A soft and sweet voice of a kid like a windchime was heard across the main hall."Mommy!! This flower is for you." Cute Angel was holding on to a red flower in her hands, which no one knew where she got that flower from, as she joyfully strode towards Monique with those short legs of hers.Her small face was like the work of pretty craftworks with meticulous external features along with a pair of big gleaming eyes, as she put on a charming smile which made her look even more spectacular than a flower.That pinkish face was so adorable that everybody would adore her.Monique was down on her knees as she reached out to Angel with those skinny arms of hers and hugged Angel tightly."Mommy, this pretty flower is for you." Said Angel, presenting the red flower in her hands to Monique."Thank you, Angel, this is one pretty flower!" Monique praised as she let out a smile that was so soothing and
However, being a girlfriend to such a perfect man like the chairman would be such a huge blessing from the heavens."It will be weird if he has feelings for me. He's the prestigious chairman while I'm just someone who showed up to repay her debts. Besides, I'm already a mother to a child and not any other lady. How could it be possible for him to fall for the kind like myself?" Monique thought for some time and that was the only explanation for it.If it was not for that, why would he treat her so well, why would he resort to kissing as her punishment and lately, even have her to sleep with him as well.Monique couldn't think of any reason behind all these. Could it be that Henry lacks motherly love?"Don't overthink stuff, perhaps the chairman doesn’t mind any of it since he's not the old-fashioned type. Besides, just look at how well he treats Angel." Louise comforted Monique."That makes it even weird." Monique was very troubled as she needed someone to solve this mystery along
"Are you all talking about Daddy?" Angel questioned her mother who was frowning with a look of astound."Yes." Monique nodded.Angel somehow knew what was going on after looking at the serious expression of her mother."Mommy, just try to accept Daddy. I really like Daddy and he treats me well too." Pleaded Angel hopefully with her eyes that were as round as grapes.Her soft voice along with a weeping tone just melted the hearts of those who heard it.Monique lowered her gaze and look at Angel dearly. Angel on the other hand was trying her best to hold back to her tears, as though she would burst into tears at any moment if Monique disapproved of it.Monique was at a loss for words. Angel would usually go along with whatever Monique said. However, this time, she was being extremely determined, and Monique could not bear to see her heartbroken, but at the same time, even feared Angel would be even more devastated in the future."Now the chairman treats you guys so well and Angel
Angel lifted her doll-like pretty face."I will follow Mommy around fetching customers." She answered.All this while, she never had the chance to take her own sweet time to enjoy her meals as her mother would always have to rush to get her cab to work. Any delaying would result in her getting an earful of scolding.Henry continued, "Then how about after work? Did you have any bedtime story sessions?"Henry spoke in a tone that any father that loved his daughter would usually have and not of a chairman's.Angel thought for a moment and replied, "Sometimes."Monique was stunned at Angel’s reply.It was usually past midnight when she was done with her work, occasionally she would work till 2 am when times were busy and she was so fatigued that she would just go to bed immediately. She had no recollection of ever telling bedtime stories to Angel.Suddenly, Monique recalled telling Angel a bedtime story which was quite some time ago when she took leave to stay beside Angel who was
Monique's eyes matched up to Henry's as he gently curled his lips. Their eyes coming into contact so naturally with each other was just that mesmerizing.Monique's face was bright red all of a sudden and started experiencing palpitations.She quickly withdrew her hand after she got the picture book and took a deep, long breath."The wolf and the seven little lambs.""Once upon a time, Mrs. Sheep went to the woods to look for food and she reminded the seven little lambs to stay at home obediently and never open the door to allow the big bad wolf to enter. The big bad wolf consumed some putty powder to make his voice soft and even sprinkled flour over his legs. He then came over and knocked on the door of the sheep's house. The little lambs heard the soft voice and saw the white claws, and they instinctively thought that it was their mother who had returned and opened the door." Monique told the story with a sweet voice, pronouncing each word crystal clear and her expression was li
Henry frowned, he was unpleased with Monique's flat out rejection.In a split second, his expression resumed to his usual cold expression with those bottomless eyes of his seemed to be cold as well.A damp chill was spread across the room as though the air conditioner had been switched on.This made Monique start shaking."I heard from Jimmy, who stays a floor above us, that his parents will sleep together with him." Angel puckered her mouth.Jimmy was a little boy staying one floor above the unit that Monique rented. He was also a friend of Angel and would occasionally come over to play with her.Monique felt troubled. This was a very normal request for any ordinary child, but to Angel, it was like a desire, a longing for fatherly love.However, Angel’s condition was dissimilar from other kids as Henry was not Angel’s biological father.Monique could not make out any suitable excuse to reject Angel’s request as she looked into Henry's cold expression, thinking that he would al
Little Nomi’s delicate face lit up with surprise, “Really? Daddy will sleep with us tonight, right?” “No way!” Monique’s face flushed in red, her heart beating faster than usual as she rejected her without thinking of an excuse. “But why, Mommy?” Little Nomi pouted, “I want to sleep with Mommy and Daddy!” She whimpered as she frowned, her bright and doe eyes filled up with tears ready to roll down her cheeks. “Well…Chairman Moore might not be able to fall asleep, which would affect his work tomorrow…” Monique reasoned with a calm voice, her long and fair fingers caressed on Little Nomi’s face wiping off the tears. Although she was telling the truth, looking at the looks on Little Nomi made her feel guilty. Henry’s lips curled up as he watched by the side, a touch of affection aroused in his dark pupils. “That’s only if I sleep with other people, I’ll have a good night’s sleep sleeping with my Little Nomi.” His voice deep and charming with a hint of magnetism. “Really?” Li
