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
“You can laugh now. If I throw you in again and you can’t swim up, no one’s going to save you. Sigh... What would happen to the cute, little Angel then? She’s just so cute. I don’t mind raising her but if she becomes a motherless child, what a pity that would be!” Henry said coldly to Monique. Those words pierced her heart. Achilles’ heel. That was Monique’s Achilles’ heel. Her face was paler and more fatigued than before. However, she stayed calm as the situation became dangerous. If he threw her in, he would have insomnia again. Even though she was scared and helpless, she was not willing to surrender in front of this man. Monique was certain that he would not let her die there, otherwise he would not have saved her. As a preventive measure, Monique hugged Henry tight like an octopus and smiled provocatively. “I don't want to go down but I’ll never be your lover. Bastard, wouldn't you have insomnia without me? If you threw me down, no one’s going to warm the bed for you!”
Monique was struggling to refuse the bath towel. Was this a carrot and stick situation?She did not need this.“Get dressed, and don’t catch a cold. You’ll be working a full day starting from tomorrow and you’re not allowed to go out to take orders anymore.” Henry’s tone was cold and threatening. ‘Do not ever think of escaping from me!’“You...” It turned out that he was worried she would fall sick and not be able to go to work.Monique’s eyes turned red and her tears threatened to flow from her eyes. She did not wish to provoke him anymore so she turned around, wrapped herself in the towel, and walked toward the room. The following days were surprisingly calm. Monique sent Henry to the company as usual. Henry was overreacting again, as if they were suddenly back on track. She sent him to work and waited for him to get off work at the office. Then she picked him up from work, ate together, slept together, yet they did not speak a word to each other. Mrs. Lawson got anxious wh
It sounded like a good plan. The embarrassment Monique was suffering from those few days was unspeakably depressing, she nearly suffocated. She needed to catch a breath. She wanted to go back very much. Besides, missed her grandfather immensely. “Sure. I’ll take a leave and go home,” Monique answered. She increased the volume of her voice just so that he could hear it. Monique hung up the phone and walked over. “I need to take two days off.” A clear and stubborn voice broke the silence in the office. For a long time, the house was completely silent. His handsome and sharp face looked cold. His thin lips were pressed tightly and his cold vibes became stronger. After a while, he closed the document, raised his eyes, and gazed at her. He casually leaned on the chair with both of his legs naturally overlapped. He looked like an emperor with his elegant temperament. Monique’s heart was beating fast. The man in front of him—regardless of his hairstyle, height, or clothing
The corner of Monique’s eyes throbbed. Was Henry regretting it? She instinctively turned around, beckoned by his irrefutable tone. She slowly walked to him.“Chairman Moore, do you have any other instructions?” She smiled ever so slightly. Henry opened the drawer with his slender hand. He took out a gold card from the drawer and passed it to her. “This card is for you!”Monique was stunned. It was a very beautiful gold card—it must be a debit card. “Thank you, but I don’t need it.”“This is an order!” Henry’s voice sounded cold. He pulled her hand and put the card in it. “Buy something with this card when you go back.” His domineering tone made it irrefutable. Monique looked at the card in her hand, feeling baffled. Was his mind filled with crap? He started treating her well after all the insults. He even forced her to take his card. Was this compensation? Did this card symbolize his request for her to surrender and be his lover?!That was too hilarious!She did not ca
“Please!” Monique mumbled very softly, but Henry heard her.He was stunned. When he asked her to beg him by the poolside, she was reluctant to do so and did not fear him throwing her in. Yet, she was begging him at the moment. Henry sneered, “What are you begging me for.”“Please let me go.” Monique’s voice was so soft. She had to surrender. She knew that if she did not surrender, he would take advantage of her in the room with both of them alone. There was nothing such a bastard could not do. “Why are you looking innocent now? You’ve even given birth to a child not knowing who the father is!” Henry was being condescending and mocking her with his cold eyes. His warm breath flowed through her face, exuding aggressive masculinity. He intended to say ‘When you crawled into my bed five years ago, weren't you happy?”This stupid woman. She could not even recall that. He had even admitted he was the child’s father. This woman was so stupid. Monique felt stabbing pain in her
