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.

Of course Monique was willing to do so. She could not handle things herself yesterday, and Louise had to help guide her. She had to thank Louise today.

“Okay, drive carefully, I’ll wait for you,” Louise replied.

Louise was exhausted today. She had only just got off working overtime, and she was yet to have dinner. She was starving.

She walked out of the building and leaned against the street light at the intersection in exhaustion; her slightly squinted eyes seemed a little confused. She had an amazing body; the tight-fitted pink shirt on her made her breasts look like they were about to break free anytime soon. The dim street light on her pale skin made her features look more enchanting than ever. It was as if she was a crystal flower blooming in the night.

“It’s Aunty Louise from the other ride. She’s waiting for us at Marriott; we’ll get her home,” Monique said to Little Nomi after hanging up.

Her voice was soft and warm; it was as if her voice was a calming stream of water.

“Oh, the beautiful Aunty Louise,” Little Nomi said happily as her clear, almond-shaped eyes watched the passing street lights.

She liked Aunty Louise a lot. Her mother had told her that Aunty Louise helped her out yesterday.

Little Nomi was happy about it. She planned to thank Aunty Louise later.

The car moved fast on the road, and it only took a while to reach Marriott International. However, Monique could not find Louise.

They waited at the entrance for some time.

“Did Aunty Louise leave?” Little Nomi looked out while stretching her pale neck. She could not see Louise anywhere.

“Maybe she’s still busy and has not left her office yet,” Monique replied after taking a good look. She thought that it was a normal occurrence since she had customers who made her wait.

Louise was still not out of the building after some time. Monique tried calling her but no one answered.

Monique felt a little uneasy given that it was pretty late. She brought Little Nomi and asked the receptionist on duty; they were told that Louise had already left the building a while ago.

Monique became more anxious than ever. She tried Louise again, and no one answered. Louise would never not pick up her call.

Louise had told her about being sexually harassed by a creepy man the last time… Could it be? Monique’s hands were shivering. What could she do?

“Mom, don’t panic! Let’s look around!” Little Nomi comforted her. Her voice was young and calming like water.

Monique thought that made sense. She drove around the block, but Louise was still nowhere to be seen.

“Could something have happened to Aunty Louise?” Little Nomi began worrying as well.

Monique was freaking out. What if something bad did happen to Louise?

“You can ask Daddy for help!” Little Nomi rolled her eyes. Daddy had gotten into the car right here the last time! That tall, handsome man was unforgettable.

“Right, why didn’t I think of that? Little Nomi, you’re smart,” Monique said as she dialed her phone. There were not many contact numbers on her phone; she only had his from yesterday for returning his clothes.

As she found Pervert Moore’s number on her phone, Monique hesitated. This was a man up to no good as well!

While she was still in doubt, Little Nomi grabbed her phone and dialed the number. Monique’s heart dropped and grabbed the phone again, but she shrugged helplessly after seeing Little Nomi’s innocent face.

She really did not want to see him, but she had no one else to call other than him. She did not know if he would pick up either.

“Hello?” The man’s cold voice could be heard on the other end of the call within moments. Henry grinned unconsciously; he assumed that Monique was calling to return his clothes.

“Something bad happened, something happened to your employee, it’s your receptionist, Louise Lou!” Monique said anxiously.

“Louise Lou?” Henry scoffed. Who was Louise anyway? What did she have to do with him!

Monique explained everything quickly. He was obliged to help since Louise was his employee after all.

Henry rolled over lazily; he was annoyed. She was not here to return his clothes after all.

Why was he annoyed over clothes today?

Monique became more anxious as the call went silent. “Can you please help me, I’m with Little Nomi, I don’t know where to look for Louise.”

Even if Louise was in danger, Monique knew that she could not run around with Little Nomi in tow. It would put Little Nomi in danger.

Her voice was trembling with anxiety. Henry thought about how frightened she must be, alone and helpless; his heart ached for a moment.

“Don’t worry, wait for me, stay where you are,” Henry said with arrogance. His dark eyes were glowing with terror.

“Okay, I’ll wait downstairs…” Monique said with a trembling voice.

After hanging up, Henry called Jane and said, “Launch the City GPS and search for our receptionist, Louise Lou’s phone. Send the location to me once the search is complete. Lodge a police report while you’re at it.”

Who was brave enough to mess with someone on his turf?

Everyone knew how brutal and ruthless Henry Moore was in B City.

Henry walked quickly; he wished that he could fly at that moment. As he arrived downstairs, he found Monique standing in front of her car, shivering.

Monique’s naturally pale face was whiter than ever; her beautiful brows were locked together. Her skinny body stunned him; he had the urge to pull her into his arms to protect her.

It was already autumn, and the wind at night was a little chilly. Monique was wearing a long-sleeve chiffon top; Henry was unsure if she was feeling cold or shivering from worrying about Louise.

Henry took his coat off and covered her with it. His move seemed arrogant yet gentle.

    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

    Monique felt like she wanted to die from being struck by lightning. “I don’t want to,” Monique said without hesitation. She wanted nothing more than getting as far as possible from this bastard, let alone being his driver. No one but this woman dared to speak to Henry this way. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity to anyone else! There was a sinister smile on his dark expression. “Oh, how do you plan on paying me back then, with your body?” He took a step forward as he spoke and grabbed her by her waist. He pinned her down on his desk, put his face near hers, and licked her on her lips. Monique widened her eyes in shock. She wanted to slap his face in reflex. This shameless bastard. Henry grabbed her thin wrist, raised his brow, and his smile became more sinister than ever. “Let’s talk about compensation after I’m done with my meal. I’ll collect some interest first.” “Henry Moore!” Monique yelled in anger. He went overboard this time. “Yes, here.” Henry stared

    How could there be a man like this, how could there be an *sshole like this! Cindy had been waiting at the lift’s entrance. She was surprised that Monique was not chased out. Her face that was covered with exquisite makeup became more and more hideous by the second. The jealousy in her heart could almost drown Monique. She eventually saw Monique leave the CEO’s office. Monique looked like a zombie as she walked out lifelessly. Cindy’s expression turned passionate in seconds. She came over and held Monique asking, “Monique, why are you only out now? I’ve been waiting for you for some time.” “What were you talking about?” Cindy asked. No one would have guessed that this endearing look came from the same person who accused Monique just before. Monique was frustrated and she needed to vent. “He was collecting his debt,” Monique mumbled. Yes, she must have owed him something in her past life; he was here to collect the debt in this life. ‘Collecting debt?’ Cindy thought to h

    “Fate brought us together outside troubled times, yet destiny brought us to love in the hardest of times…”It was a call from Henry. Monique picked up the call helplessly; she could no longer be angry at him. She was truly afraid of him calling the cops on her and she was willing to slave for him as long as she could stay with Little Nomi. Henry wanted her to move to his villa today to be on call 24/7. Monique agreed; she had no choice but to do so. “Little Nomi, we have to move to that person’s house,” Monique said to her daughter after hanging up the phone. Little Nomi agreed obediently. They packed light and went downstairs. The chauffeur was already waiting downstairs when they arrived. She bowed before Monique and Little Nomi, opened the door for them, and put their luggage into the trunk. The chauffeur stopped at a fenceless luxury villa halfway up the mountain. The villa was extremely grand; a river was shuttled beside it, and it looked as gorgeous as a magnificent pa

    Little Nomi went ahead and played with the toys with Monique’s permission once Mrs. Lee left. Monique unpacked their luggage and truth be told, there was nothing more than clothes. Although it was a great environment, Monique had goosebumps all over thinking about having to spend so much time with that *sshole from now on. She looked over to the man’s bedroom door with curiosity and fear. His door was closed, she did not know if he was in. Meanwhile, Henry was looking at a report with a serious face on the other side of the door. His gaze was a little grim, but there was a hint of excitement on the corner of his lips. The DNA report stated that he was Little Nomi’s father. Monique was the woman he had been looking for for the past five years. No wonder he could fall asleep in her car twice. Little Nomi was his daughter after all and he could not believe that he was the father to such a cute and adorable kid. It was a magical and fortunate feeling; no wonder he liked Lit

    Gu Linbei couldn't sense the mixed feelings in Gu Shaohuan's heart.He handed over the results of his efforts in the morning to the Hui family."From today on, the Gu family has nothing to do with me anymore. 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."

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?" Gu Shaohuan was furious when he saw the son that the Gu family had raised for 20 years.How proud Gu Linbei had been in the past, how much he hated him now.Gu Linbei didn't care about Gu Shaohuan's tone at all.
