“Me?” Monique Xander pointed at herself with her fair, slender index finger and asked Mandy Jane doubtfully.

‘Me? There must be some kind of mistake!’

Mandy nodded with certainty but the look she gave Monique was odd.

Everyone there was curious. Some were guessing that she would not come out alive before getting a severe reprimand!

Monique was a little nervous. She walked into the office fully alert to see a black-and-white themed space filled with an extraordinary luxurious leather couch and a solid refined wood desk. Even the few artworks by court painters on the wall were highlighting his exceptional identity. The furniture was simple yet adequately extravagant.

Henry Moore was seated on a black couch beside a wide French window with his back facing her. He looked like a divine being from the back due to his inborn elegance. His pose was effortlessly sophisticated and graceful.

His side profile reminded Monique of a towering mountain in the panoramic scenery, complemented with his grim manner. His aquiline nose, coolly-arched brows, and unimpaired contour looked as if they were deftly carved.

He was giving out a particular intimidating vibe although he was just sitting there casually.

Monique felt uneasy and her heart was pounding as if it would fall out any second.

That was her first time to be in a luxurious place like this. The chairman must be extremely wealthy.

‘Why is he asking to see me? Did I offend him by spilling coffee?’

There was a hellish coldness emitting from him despite his poker face. She could sense a suffocating tension from his strong presence although there was some distance between them.

“Hi, about the coffees, it was an accident. I will clean them up right away!” Monique took a deep breath and explained with caution.

“There is a break room here. Go change out of your dirty clothes.” Henry moved his lips insouciantly, his voice deep and magnetic like a cello yet somewhat nonchalant.

He did not turn around at all! He did not want to see her in such a filthy state.

Monique looked at her clothes drenched in coffee and realized that he called her over so that she could change. Her heart was filled with warmth instantly and her fear subsided.

She thought that he was unhappy with her for spilling the coffees.

“I’m fine, thanks!” said Monique with a smile.

She did not intend to change because she wanted to leave as soon as she could to finish her work in the café. She had to go home early so that she could make it in time to prepare dinner for Little Nomi.

“Go now!” Henry raised his brow in displeasure, his tone gloomy.

He did not expect her to decline, any woman would die to hear him say those words. Although he was repulsed by her filthy state, she was still dumb to reject his kindness.

“I appreciate it, but really, no thanks. If there’s nothing else… I should go.” Monique wanted to say this.

Henry turned his head sideways and looked over her direction before she could finish. He was striking, flawless even, with his coolly arched brows, jet black eyes, and aquiline nose. However, his dark eyes were deep with meaning, which was somewhat intimidating.

Monique could not help but quivered and retracted her words. A hint of panic flashed in her dark sparkly eyes as she was getting a sense of menace from the gorgeous man sitting opposite her. She felt like he would tear her into pieces if she still refused to change.

She then walked to the break room dispiritedly.

Noticing that he seemed unhappy when she refused to change, Monique had many questions but she was actually in a hurry to go back.

Henry raised a brow in amusement as he looked at her walking toward the break room dejectedly. He was certain that plenty of other women who were desperate to get associated with him would jump at the chance to change if he requested yet the woman just now seemed to be eager to leave.

He was entertained for some reason.

The man said that it was a break room, but it was actually a gigantic room! The blue-themed room loaded with clothes and shoes looked cozy and harmonious.

It could be a miniature mall!

Monique blinked her eyes in shock. The shirts, trousers, and tees hanging in the closet had a simple style but they looked very expensive and in excellent quality, some of them even still had their tags on. Monique walked closer for a peek and her mouth fell open with shock. All of them had logos of luxury brands.

She finally picked a white tee that looked the cheapest and a pair of black shorts. The shorts were too big so she had to tuck the tee in.

The tee’s quality and texture were excellent and it felt very comfortable on her. However, Monique felt a little awkward because that was her first time wearing someone else’s clothing, not to mention a man. She kept her clothes in a bag and walked out with her head lowered like a scaredy-cat.

Thump. She knocked into something by accident. She looked up and saw an impeccable face with refined features and a pair of charming grim eyes.

That man was unbelievably handsome. Monique felt her heart thumping like a bunny just from being in close contact with him.

“Thank you, but all the clothes inside looked too expensive.” Monique flushed and tried to hide her embarrassment and anxiety behind her dark expressive eyes. “This tee should be the most inexpensive one. I’ll change when I get back and clean it before returning it to you.”

Monique guessed that that tee was the cheapest one since there was no price tag on it.

Henry had just got off a call after using the washroom when he was knocked into. There was slight irritation visible in his expressive eyes as he stared down at her with a domineering aura.

Her face was innocently beautiful like the sky after a storm. Her dark, sleek short hair was resting on her fair cheeks blushing with embarrassment and her huge eyes were as clear as the purest gemstones. The tucked white tee which outlined her sylphlike curves looked casual and fresh, she gave off a youthful vibe.

Henry observed that Monique seemed to be uninterested in expensive luxurious clothes as he could not sense any greed or adoration from her eyes.

There was literally none.

“The most inexpensive one?” Henry raised a brow and smiled mysteriously.

Monique was panicking because of his smile, she could not even think straight.

His extremely attractive smile was coquettish and obscene to the confused Monique at that moment, she felt like a little bunny being stared at by a big bad wolf.

‘What is he doing?’ Monique raised her head with puzzlement and stared at him with disbelief.

‘It can’t be… Was he peeping?’

It was no wonder that he insisted that she change! All of her questions were answered! Her gratitude was a waste! Who would have known that this extremely gorgeous man was a voyeur? What a pervert! She spoke her thoughts out loud without realizing it.

    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

    ”Uh… I was busy so I forgot about it…” Monique was stunned. She froze as if she had her acupuncture points pressed. Was he really angry? “Did you really forget about it, or were you not planning to return them?” Henry said while raising his brow. He glared at her with an arrogant look. He seemed like a beautiful, elegant leopard. He might seem nonchalant, but the aura coming off him was still rather threatening. What a petty man... He was really angry about it after all. The warmth Monique felt from him disappeared instantly. “Of course I was planning to return it…” ‘Who wants to keep your clothes!’ Monique pronounced her words but did not finish her sentence. She did not dare to piss him off as Little Nomi was still in the car. Who knew what he would do if he was angry? “Daddy, why don’t you come over to our house to take it? Mommy actually forgot about it!” Little Nomi thought that Daddy had misunderstood her mother. She tried her best to explain on her mother’s behalf.

    “I’ll get lost, I’ll get lost, I’ll get lost, I’ll get lost right away…” Cindy was terrified. The man’s fit body emitted a frosty aura. His dark eyes seemed like two cold, bottomless pools that could swallow people whole, leaving no residue. Cindy could not think. She was so terrified that she fell on the ground. She wanted to get lost, but her limbs were so weak that she could not move. The CEO was a little too scary. He had been telling her to get lost every time he saw her. “Mandy, get in here,” Henry growled. Mandy heard him immediately. She was standing by the door and did not dare to go in. The CEO was mad.“Drag this b*tch out.” His voice was deep, magnetic, and cold. “Bunch of idiots, letting just about anyone in.” “Okay.” Mandy did not dare to cause any delays. She called for two security guards to drag Cindy out of there. She was afraid that she might become collateral damage if she wasted another second. Henry had estimated that it was about time Monique del

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."

    After Gu Linbei got the computer, he turned off the page of the Gu Group internal web.This was also the reason why Gu Shaohuan no longer insisted.Gu Linbei sent a message, and soon a document came from the other side.After calling Gu Shaohuan over, he opened the document.It was the three companies that had been acquired by the Gu family in the morning and other shares."You're the one who's dealing with the Gu family?!"Gu Shaohuan's first reaction was that Gu Linbei was the one dealing with Gu Group, not that Gu Linbei wanted to help the Gu family.In the face of Gu Shaohuan's reaction, Gu Linbei's first feeling was not anger or disappointment, but relief.Fortunately, this man was not his father.Gu Linbei didn't explain.

Have you done it?"Gu Shaohuan had been paying close attention to the curve on the computer.He didn't notice the secretary's expression when she came in and said that Gu Zihang wanted to say something when he came back.When Gu Shaohuan finished asking, there was no response.He raised his head and saw Gu Linbei coming back with Gu Zihang."What are you doing here?"
