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-
Monique happily told Nick her phone number, who then dialed the number. “Fate brought us together in this chaotic world, but destiny also made us fall in love in the hardest times. Maybe our future is light years away, but I am willing to wait for you in the unknown…”, Monique’s phone rang.“Your ringtone sounds nice. Fate brought us together,” Nick casually said. The way he said it sounded so flirtatious—how awkward!“Ahem...” Monique was shaken by his words, then she recovered after a while. “You’re so funny.”“I’m leaving. I shall ask you out again next time.” Nick slightly raised his thin lips into a cunning smile and made a telephoning gesture with his hand. “Hmm.” Monique nodded lightly. She felt inexplicably relieved after she left. Monique had a simple meal at noon before she started taking requests again. Her working hour passed especially fast. Monique went back to the Moore manor close to dinner time. Henry brought Little Angel to the company that day so they sh
Monique joyfully came down from the car when she reached home. She was holding a cup of coffee in one hand and a tiny cake in the other. Angel was playing in the courtyard as Mrs. Lawson kept her company. She happily ran over when she saw Monique arrive. She raised her rosy face and pink lips up at her mom and said, “Mommy.”Monique nodded. She raised her slender arm, and excitedly answered, “Look what mommy brought for you!”“A cake from my favourite shop!” Angel shouted in surprise. “Mommy, muah!”Angel blew her a kiss. She pointed the cup in Monique’s other hand and thought that it was also for her. “What about this?”“This is coffee! Not for you.” The corner of Monique’s lips raised shyly as her face unknowingly blushed. Mrs. Lawson was smiling the whole time and did not speak a word as she watched them. Monique raised her eyes and saw Mrs. Lawson smiling. She asked softly and awkwardly, “Where’s Chairman Moore?”“The Young Master asked the driver to send Angel home fi
