The man looked at her rarely obedient behavior. His strong body enveloping her small physique. “Ahh…” As he leaned forward, he accidentally hurt her back which had not recovered. She cried out in pain. At this instant, a strong electric current attacked Monique’s brain. With her cheeks burning red, her heart pumping like a running rabbit, she could not think or reason as her panicking instinct took over and pushed Henry off the bed. To make her action seem less awkward, she inappropriately yelled, “rogue!” Henry did not see that coming as he was pushed off the bed. His manly brows slightly twitched, exuding an air of coldness as his Adam’s apple slid slightly. Her voice was soft, like a snowflake slipping in his heart, and its coldness was unbearable. Henry suddenly recalled that she hurt her back yesterday. His handsome face darkened into a look of confusion, as he really did not know what to do. He had never felt this way before. All he wanted to do was to flirt with her a
“Alright, thanks, Mrs. Lee.” Monique smiled. Mrs. Lee noticed the slight glint of disappointment in her eyes, unlike a few days ago when she kept her distance from Henry, today she seemed disappointed not having him around. It was obvious to Mrs. Lee because she watched Henry grow, she knew him well enough to know that he had more of a smile on his face when Monique and Little Nomi were around. The loving looks on him had not been seen after his mother passed away. Mrs. Lee also took note of how he took great care of the two of them in the past few days. Being born into a wealthy family, he had never had to take care of anyone, thus seeing him going through such lengths to take care of them both pleased Mrs. Lee. If this woman was willing to stay by his side wholeheartedly, Henry would be happier. With that in mind, Mrs. Lee liked Monique even more. “You must be hungry, I’ve prepared some breakfast, come and have some.” Mrs. Lee smiled, as she reached out and held on Monique’s
She smiled faintly, “Mommy is not working today, I’ll stay home with you.” “Yay!” a carefree smile appeared on Little Nomi’s face. Monique stayed home with Little Nomi for the rest of the day. She seldom had so much free time to herself. The Moore manor was huge, and there was a man-made hill at the back of the manor. There was a fountain and a small forest, with some exercising machines which entertained the two of them. Mrs. Lee was taking good care of them. She would frequently bring over some drinks, fruits and snacks. The other staff treated them with respect, too. Although they did not know who Monique was, they knew that Henry and Mrs. Lee were taking good care of them, so they assumed this mysterious woman to be someone special, probably someone of the noble family or with authority. By the end of the day, Henry was still not home, so Monique and Little Nomi went to bed without seeing him for a day. They had not seen him for two days in a row. He usually left befo
“Is there a problem?” Henry’s eyebrows twitched, exuding an air of eeriness. Shaun fixed his black-rimmed glasses, and mumbled, “Chair…Chairman Moore, please take good care of your health, it’s getting late!” There was no big project recently to stay back till so late. Of course, Shaun did not say that out loud. He was already trembling inside for what he said before. Let alone telling him off for staying back when there was no big project going on at the moment. Henry merely glanced at Shaun coldly without saying a word. Shaun instantly regretted what he said earlier. He stood in front of him awkwardly, Henry did not ask him to leave, so he wanted to leave but had no courage to. His legs were shaking terribly, and just as he was about to faint from the suspension in the air, Henry coldly said, “Go home.” This sounded like music to his ears, “I’ll get the car right away.” Henry nodded. He had not seen Monique for two days. Shaun ran straight from the office to the ga
The silence resumed in the car. Shaun stepped on the gas pedal and accelerated, the speed of the car greatly contrasted with his nerdy outlook. Finally, they have arrived at the Moore mansion. It was not till Henry stepped out of the car when Shaun finally let out a long relief, his legs turning jelly. The look on Henry’s face was way too scary and intimidating. Seeing that Henry had come home, Mrs. Lee brought forth the soup she had prepared for him. “Young Master, please have some soup,” Mrs. Lee handed over the soup and said, “It’d been some time since you last worked till late, please take care of your body.” “I know, please get some rest. There are so many helpers at the mansion.” Henry said coldly. He was brought up by Mrs. Lee, so he had always respected her. “I don’t trust the others.” Mrs. Lee replied, she knew Henry was concerned for her health. After finishing the soup, Henry went upstairs, and Mrs. Lee went back to her bedroom. Before entering his room, he unco
Her slender fingers picked up her phone. It was nine o’clock in the morning! She woke up hastily and washed up, got changed, and went downstairs. Before she went down, she looked into the mirror, fixed her hair, and put on a lips gloss. She had never put in so much effort with her look. Strange. She felt that Little Nomi and Henry were downstairs. She had to admit that she kind of missed him. She rushed downstairs and glanced around the living room. It was empty, there were just a few maids cleaning up the dining table. They must have just gone out. She trembled a little, could they be in the backyard? With that in mind, Monique jogged toward the backyard, just as she got out of the door, she saw a black Bentley driving away. She was so close to meeting him! She regretted not waking up sooner. Mrs. Lee just sent Little Nomi off to the car, as she turned back, she saw Monique standing blankly by the door. Monique was dressed in a green puffy top, with oversized beige
She hesitated for a while before deciding to take some orders. For the rest of the morning, she accepted quite a lot of orders, taking on passengers with Henry’s Maserati. Which meant that she had to repeat the same thing to every customer that, “This is my boss’ car, he allows me to earn some cash with it when I’m free.” And she would hear them all repeat one after another. “Your boss is so nice!” She would then smile and think of him. There were quite a lot of orders today which allowed Monique to make quite a handsome profit. When she got tired and finished her drink, she naturally pulled her car over to the parking place she used to rest at. As she instinctively walked over to the break room, she suddenly recalled what happened a few days ago when she told off Old Xavier, and how he kidnapped her and Little Nomi. She retracted her steps instantly. She hesitated and thought it was better to buy some water elsewhere, just as she was about to leave, she overheard the voices comi
The man put his hand behind his back, and replied, “I’m fine.” Monique saw him hiding his hand from her, she pulled out his hand and saw that he was bleeding. Monique was guilty, she said apologetically, “You’re hurt! I’m so sorry!” “Don’t worry, it’s just a small matter.” The man reassured her with a smile. His attitude was polite and humble, exuding an air of nobleness and elegance. “It must’ve hurt.” Monique looked at his hand and gently blew air on it. Nick Johnny glanced over at the woman in front of him. She looked simple and natural, her thick and dark short hair made her appear pure and youthful. Her elegant face complimenting her arched eyebrows. She seemed like a college student with a refreshing look. Especially when she was blowing air on his hand, she seemed gentle and cute. Nobody would be able to get their eyes off such a gentle woman. Nick’s lips curled up as he was intrigued by the woman in front of him, “It doesn’t hurt now.” Meanwhile, an expensive-
