‘Of course I saw, I’m not blind! You’ve been putting on your makeup since half an hour ago!’ Monique Xander was wailing internally.

Monique had always been good-tempered. She was already compromising by cleaning up the other areas first because Cindy Lee was already there putting on makeup when first she entered to clean the washroom.

She requested Cindy to move aside because she cleaned everywhere except for the spot where she was standing.

“Can you please move aside for a little bit?” Monique pursed her lips and asked politely.

Cindy turned her face covered in heavy makeup and sneered with her bright red lips. “No!”

She was doing it on purpose. She heard that Monique had a daughter and wondered whether she was chased out because she was someone’s mistress.

She looked down on her. She decided to stay there for as long as she liked.

Monique was getting nervous as her other chores were piling up. She had to finish them as soon as she could so that she could get home in time to cook for Little Nomi. All she was asking for was for Cindy to shift aside for a little bit.

How annoying!

Monique dunked a mop into a pail of water angrily, took it out, and swung it with force repeatedly.

“You’re staining my pants!” Cindy hopped away and screamed, her eyes bulging.

“Those with big barks usually have no bite.” Monique was relentless.

It was clear that Cindy was blocking her on purpose so Monique did not intend to be kind to her.

Although she had gotten used to being patient and tolerating insults, she knew when to draw the line.

All bark and no bite. Cindy’s face was twisted with fury as she did not expect a janitor to be disrespectful to her. A sinister smile appeared on her face in the blink of an eye.

“I heard that you have a daughter. Are you working as a janitor because you were someone’s mistress and you were chased out by his wife?” Cindy scoffed.

Monique had no intention of wasting her time on Cindy as she was already immune to insults, all she wanted was to finish cleaning as soon as she could. She took the mop and started cleaning the floor where Cindy stood.

Cindy grew furious as Monique was ignoring her.

“Are you admitting to what I said? One must live with dignity, don’t flirt with someone else’s husband! Even mistresses have their resources! Look at you, you deserve to be a janitor!” Cindy insulted even further.

‘What a bully! How dare she accuse me of being a mistress!’

“So what if I’m a janitor? It is an ethical and honest job, unlike someone who puts on heavy makeup to flirt with rich customers while working as a waitress.” Monique returned with another blow.

Monique was scornful. It was clearly Cindy who intended to hook up with rich men to be a mistress as she had worn revealing clothing and heavy makeup everyday.

“I don’t have the time to argue with you.” Cindy turned and left with fury as if Monique discovered her secret.

She walked to the café’s reception angrily with her arms crossed. She was extremely dissatisfied that an unwanted single mother and janitor disrespected her!

She was crossed because she saw herself as a pretty student from the renowned H University. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

She was standing at the cash register and plotting a revenge plan angrily when she looked up to see her manager, Sacha Long, walking toward her. Her gaze changed as an idea struck her and her arrogant demeanor was instantly gone.

“Good morning, manager!” Cindy looked up and gave him an awkward smile, looking like a damsel in distress with her red teary eyes.

She should be an actress so that her talent in acting would not go to waste.

Also, she had a curvy figure which would be advantageous when dealing with straight men.

Sacha noticed Cindy’s pitiful face and felt sorry for her.

“My little Cindy, what’s the matter?” asked Sacha, his face ridden with concern.

“I heard Monique Xander talking about you in the washroom just now and I fought with her because I felt bad for you. I didn’t expect that she would stain my pants with dirty water from the mop. I’m so mad,” complained Cindy while pointing at her pants and wiping a tear from her eye, there was a masked slyness in her eyes.

“What did she say about me?” Sacha asked in shock.

Monique had been a dutiful employee and she did not seem like the gossipy type. However, Cindy’s pitiful face did not seem fake either.

“She… She said…” Cindy muttered.

“What? Just say it.”

“She said that you are a little gay…” Truthfully, Sacha had a delicate appearance and Cindy always called him a sissy behind his back.

Those words were actually Cindy’s, not Monique’s.

However, she looked extremely pitiful. No one would doubt the truth in her words.

Sacha was exasperated. ‘I am a little delicate in appearance, but I am really masculine, okay? I’m not gay at all!’ He hated it when people called him a sissy.

Perhaps she was talking poorly behind his back because he scolded her when she asked for leave?

He was desperate for an opportunity to get her fired!

Ring ring ring… The phone at the reception rang.

“Hello, this is Mansion Coffee. How can I help you?” Cindy picked up the phone.

She had to perform well in front of the manager.

“Marriott Tower ordered 20 coffees and it’s urgent.” Cindy put the phone down and said to Sacha.

“Get two of you to send them over!” instructed Sacha.

20 cups of coffee was not a small amount, it would be an impossible task for one person.

Another idea struck Cindy. A cold ray flashed in her eyes as she looked at Monique who was cleaning a table in the distance.

It was the perfect opportunity for her to make a fool out of Monique!

“The café is pretty busy right now, we can’t assign that many people. How about we let Monique deliver the coffees by electric bike? I heard that she’s experienced because she has delivered many cups of coffee by herself before. I’m sure that she can do the same this time.” Cindy lifted her lips for a wicked smile and gave Sacha a wink.

She was giving him a signal that it was a great opportunity to get rid of her.

Sacha understood what she meant instantly and turned to Monique. “Monique, there’s a delivery.”

“What?” Monique, who was busy cleaning tables, walked over when she noticed that her manager was calling her.

“Marriott International ordered 20 cups of coffee and it’s urgent. You should deliver them,” said Sacha with a displeased look.

“20 cups wouldn’t be easy to deliver if I’m doing it alone. They might spill.” Monique was astonished.

Asking one person to deliver 20 cups of coffee was an impossible task! Also, there were a few other employees around. Why did her manager request that she deliver the order by herself? Monique smelled something fishy.

She wanted to say something but Cindy interrupted with a weird tone, “Just go! Are you defying our manager’s order?” There was a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.

‘Serves you right for offending me.’

“Hurry up, do you want to keep your job?” Sacha snapped.

Monique could already guess that Cindy incited that judging by her pleased expression. Although she did not want to go, she had to because she needed her job.

Monique had passed by Marriott International before but only at night. The building looked even more glorious and grand in the daytime. She walked through over ten wide French windows and a revolving door to see a few receptionists in formal uniforms who gave her a polite bow.

The interior was even more extravagant to an unimaginable extent. Monique felt as if she was Jerry Mouse visiting Manhattan. She turned left and right but everything looked the same. She then lost her way as the place was huge.

She had to find the way quickly as Cindy mentioned that the order was urgent.

She suddenly remembered that Louise Lou, her female passenger from that night mentioned that she worked as a receptionist there. Monique then walked back from where she came to the reception to ask for directions.

There seemed to be coffee cups in the bags.“Monique! Why are you here?” Louise’s lips curved upward for an excited smile when she realized that it was Monique who was calling her. She then walked over.“Louise, I’m right here!” Monique lifted the corners of her mouth to form a bright smile. She wanted to wave but both her arms were occupied with the bags filled with coffee. Worried that Louise did not see her, she tiptoed.Her arms were getting numb from carrying the 20 cups of coffee all the way there.Louise had light makeup on her slim face that day.

    “Were you peeping? You pervert!!!” Monique Xander glared angrily.Henry Moore was stunned for a moment when he heard the words coming out of her mouth. He stared at her in amusement instead of getting angry. It was hilarious to him!Who did she think he was? He was the apathetic and ruthless chairman of Moore Group!As the leading chairman in B City, he had respectable status and a position of eminence. As the prime among diamond bachelors, he could have any woman he desired, the line of women fawning over him could even reach space.Him peeping her? Henry almost burst into laughter. Her accusations were extraordinary!“Hmm, what did I peep? What do you have that is worth peeping?” Henry was amused, his lips curved into a wicked smile.‘He really spied on me!!!’‘He must have seen everything!’ She was somewhat relieved that she had not taken off her undergarments. It was a horrific moment for the innocent Monique who never dated a guy.Oh, he even questioned her body!Monique’

    An idea struck him. He grinned and said, “We’re working overtime today. Call Mansion Coffee and order each of them a cup of coffee, get them to send it over right away.” He became frustrated with himself after saying that; he was doing all of this for a woman. “Okay, sir,” Jane said respectfully before leaving. Seeing how the CEO’s expression changed from a dark one to excitement, she was left confused. Could it be that he was into that ordinary employee? It was impossible to guess what the CEO was thinking! However, the overtime was necessary as the CEO said so. There were cries everywhere once the announcement was made. “Ring, ring, ring…” Mansion Coffee received a delivery order from Marriott International just before they were about to close. “Monique, deliver the coffee,” Cindy shouted at her arrogantly. Since the manager, Sacha, had already left the café, everyone had to give in to Cindy’s demands recently as she had a close rapport with Sacha. Jane was already chan

    Monique went home from the café and cooked dinner for Little Nomi. After the meal, she went out to work as a taxi driver with Little Nomi. Ever since she drove Louise from the city back to the suburbs the other day, she tried her best to get as many customers as possible from the city to the suburbs since she was on night shift anyway. She felt happy and fulfilled to be able to help people. “Fate brought us together outside the troubled times…” Monique’s phone rang as she headed toward the city.“Mom, your phone.” Little Nomi grabbed the earpiece with her little chubby hand before passing it to her mother. Her beautiful face was flushed, and her clear eyes were shining. “Hello, Monique speaking,” Monique put the earpiece on and picked up the call. “Monique, I’m Louise, I’ve just gotten off from working overtime, are you free to pick me up?” Louise asked as she walked outside. “Of course, I’m on the way to the city, wait for me.” Monique had a sweet smile on her face.

    Monique’s brain went blank from worrying about Louise. Seeing that Henry was approaching her, she recalled what had happened yesterday and became so terrified that she tried to push him away. However, Henry pulled her into an embrace. As he looked down, his beautiful eyes were captivating, and his deep voice was extremely attractive. His voice was so attractive that it could impregnate one’s ears. It was blatant flirting to Monique’s ears! ‘In your dreams!’ Monique’s eyes twitched. She thought she was crazy to be asking for his help. Nonetheless, she had to be courteous while asking for a favor. She fought the feeling of nausea and said through gritted teeth, “Let’s look for Louise.” It was an inappropriate time to mess with her right now and Henry decided to carry her before putting her in the driver’s seat. He then opened the door to get into the backseat. Little Nomi turned around and smiled at the man in the backseat. She gave him 120 likes in her heart seeing what he

    How could it be Mr. CEO! Louise could not believe her eyes. She was so shocked that she did not even realize that the cops had arrived at the scene. “The cops are here. You’re fine now, you’re fine now,” Monique comforted Louise as she helped her up and patted her shoulder. Louise’s eyes were still widened and she had chills all over her body. The man in front of her had a body and manner more attractive than top male models as his handsome features were prominent on his frosty look. This elegant, luxurious, and royal-like man would be none other than the Moore Group’s CEO—Henry Moore.“Bring that disgusting thing away.” He glared at the officers arrogantly, and his voice was cold yet magnetic. He had an inherently royal aura to him. His temperament pierced through the officers’ hearts. It was terrifying. ‘God damn it, how dare this guy mess with Young Master Moore’s employees? He will be sentenced to jail for sure!’“Yes… Yes… We’ll take him away. We’ll never let him out and

I have nothing to do with the Gu family anymore."At this moment, Gu Linbei was secretly glad that he was not a good-for-nothing rich second generation in order to prove to his family with Henry.He had secretly saved up his personal savings so that he could speak so confidently in front of Gu Shaohuan at this moment.Gu Shaohuan thought that Gu Linbei would suffer a lot after leaving the Gu family.This kind of revenge just happened to calm down.He didn't expect Gu Linbei to appear in front of him in such a powerful state.Gu Shaohuan didn't want to admit this difference, so he snorted coldly. "You have today's results because of the Gu family. What's there to be proud of now?"Gu Linbei had expected this, as if he had already guessed that Gu Shaohuan would say that."
