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
Monique was holding the coffee she bought earlier, nervously walking toward the swimming pool. Her heart got faster the close she got to the swimming pool. Her blushed face was filled with shyness.Henry was swirling the red wine in the glass by the poolside. He had a bath towel around his lower body, revealing his strong-looking chest. He squinted his eyes and he habitually pursed his sexy lips, looking stern and lofty. He lazily leaned on the chair. His flawless, handsome face looked wild and unruly like a king. “Ahem...” Monique coughed lightly. Her heartbeat uncontrollably quickened. Henry raised his eyes and took a glance at her indifferently. She was wearing a bean-green puff sleeve top with a pair of beige, casual wide-leg pants. Her excellent figure looked more slender under the outline of the clothes. The bean-green puff sleeve top was dotted in black which made her look like the gentle and cute girl next door.Her palm-sized face was matte and exquisite, and her
Would such a hateful and domineering person fall in love with Monique? Did Henry kiss her passionately because he had fallen in love with her? She had never kissed anyone and felt that passionate kisses only existed between lovers. In the heat of the moment, Monique asked him the question that had been at the back of her mind for a few days. “Do you like me?”She asked softly, but her voice sounded sweet and clear with a hint of hesitance—it was incredibly gentle. Her delicate face turned red like a ripe and sweet cherry that exuded a charming fragrance. She looked shy in his eyes. She regretted it the moment the words came out from her mouth. She should not have said that.Henry was stunned. There was a flame flashing through his deep dark eyes and he could feel the heat on his chest. However, he felt stuffed as he pictured her holding a man’s hand by the roadside all of a sudden. This woman was debauchery!Henry dropped his gaze as his indifferent look fell upon her
It turned out that Monique had been overthinking! She must have been muddle-headed when she asked that question. She did not dare to look at Henry’s dark eyes. She secretly took a deep breath, trying hard to calm herself down. She raised her eyes after a few seconds. Bearing it with her painful heart, she pretended to be relieved. She smiled sweetly, “You’re the one who’s overthinking. Who cares to be your lover? There are rumors flying around these days. I’m just worried that you’d fall in love with me. It’s good that you do not so that we can save ourselves from hassles in the future. I’ll work hard to earn money and leave immediately after I’ve cleared the debt.”Monique’s smile was beautiful. A vortex appeared as she smiled and her eyes shone like bright stars immersed in the light. However, she felt terrible, almost to a point where breathing was difficult. It turned out that she was only a debtor and bed warmer to him. She seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Her disdainf
“I didn't know you can’t swim!” Henry’s voice was low and hoarse.For a proud man like him, explaining was the best he could do. It was impossible for him to apologize.“Even if I can swim, how could you just throw me into the water? I’m a human. I have my dignity!” Monique restrained the trembling of her body and roared loudly, revealing hatred in her eyes. She held her head like a proud swan, looking at his handsome face. Her heart was no longer throbbing like before, and her eyes looked surprisingly calm. “If you have your dignity, you shouldn’t have hooked up with another man. I allowed you to go on holiday so you could rest at home, not to hook up with another man.” Henry’s voice was low and cold just like the winter wind. Monique was stunned. Hooked up with another man? Since when did she hook up with another man? Nick?She was speechless! Nick had only rescued her. Monique’s clothes were wet and she felt chilly in the cold weather. She started shivering. “Even
