Chapter 21

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 did for her mother just now.

He was tall, handsome, and dressed classy and fashionably. He seemed like a perfect match for her mother.

Monique had yet to snap out of it after being carried into her own car. She seemed confused.

“Drive,” Henry growled.

Monique finally snapped out of it after hearing Henry’s growl. She put her seatbelt on and drove.

“Are you dumb? Why didn’t you wait in the car?” Henry scoffed. Unknowingly, he was angry about her waiting for him outside the car.

“You’re… You’re the one who asked me to stay where I was!” Monique replied.

“Did you really have to do exactly as I said? Are you dumb?” Henry lifted his brow. An expression—which was foreign to Henry himself—appeared on his face.

Henry’s phone rang. Secretary Jane had sent over Louise’s location, and it was on the way to her home but through a different route than usual. Based on women’s magical sixth sense, Monique was sure that Louise was in trouble.

Monique sped toward the location. Although the car was moving fast, it felt pretty stable to be in it—it was not a bumpy ride at all. She drove the taxi like a high-end sports car, and the speed that she was driving her car at did not match her slender appearance at all. Who could associate such fierceness in a slender woman?

Henry’s lips curved upward unconsciously.

The car arrived at a remote suburb, and it was quite a distance away from Louise’s house. Moreover, there were barely any cars in the suburbs at night and the entire street was eerily quiet. Monique was more anxious than ever. ‘Louise, please be okay.’

Meanwhile, Louise was losing hope in the woods nearby. She tried her best to fight back but she was no match for this strong and brutal man on her.

Her clothes were torn apart and the middle-aged man kissed her with a stinking mouth. She was about to be raped.

She continued struggling. She was losing her strength and about to lose all hope.

Monique’s car continued to move forward before arriving near a yellow taxi. As she drove forward, she heard some noise coming from the woods.

Monique stopped the car. The noise that the tyres’ friction produced pierced through the quiet suburb.

Monique opened the door. She was about to rush into the woods when a huge figure appeared behind her and pulled her hand back. He glared at Monique and scoffed, “Wait in the car with the child, I’ll go in myself.”

He was more than what was needed to stop the rapist.

Henry was 1.9 meters tall and he had a fit body. Monique looked up to his handsome face—it seemed like he was protecting her. Was this an illusion?

He just bullied her yesterday…

Little Nomi’s huge, dark eyes were glowing. Her ‘father’ was glowing like a god! The way he protected her mother was so boyfriend-like and he looked extremely handsome doing that.

“I’ll save my own employee, it’s not a scene for you with your child in tow,” Henry scoffed after seeing Monique’s look of slight admiration for him. His tone was monotonous.

However, he felt proud in his heart and he walked into the woods quickly.

Louise thought she was having an illusion when she heard a noise. Was someone there? It was her last hope when she pushed the man off her with all her might, got up, and ran toward the road.

The man did not expect her to have enough strength to push him off and chased after her.

Louise’s skin turned red and she was not completely dressed. She ran with all her might before seeing a tall, classy man heading toward her. She ran faster.

“Help…!” she shouted as she pant.

Before she could finish her sentence, she heard him say, “Wait in the blue taxi outside.” His voice was cold and arrogant.

Meanwhile, the middle-aged man caught up. “Don’t you butt into my business!”

Louise did not dare to slow down. She ran toward the blue car the man had mentioned.

“Bastard, are you asking for death!” To Henry, this man was seeking death for messing with someone on his turf. Henry kicked him in anger.

“Please forgive me, please forgive me, I’ll never do it again.” The man was being beaten up so brutally that he was shivering.

Monique saw Louise running toward her from afar. She got out and helped Louise into the car. Louise fell on Monique’s body. She was shivering.

“Ah…” She cried hysterically upon seeing Monique.

She was panting hard. Her legs were weak from the terror she had just experienced.

“Okay, okay…” Monique comforted her while patting her shoulder.

Henry finally walked out after making sure that the man could no longer get up from the ground.

Louise was done crying but she could not help but continue sobbing.

“Are you okay, are you okay?” Monique asked with concern.

“Thank you, I’m alright, thankfully you arrived in time,” Louise said while sobbing.

“Didn’t you ask me to pick you up? Why did you get into his car?”

“I was too tired today. I was exhausted and hungry. He saw me standing there and asked where I was heading to, and he said he was going to drive me home for free since it was on the way for him. He claimed that his ride was a legitimate one and told me not to worry about it. I thought he was an honest man so I got in, but…” Louise started sobbing again.

“Why didn’t you pick up the phone when I called…”

“I didn’t hear it since it was in my bag. But when I wanted to call someone after realizing something was wrong, he snatched my bag away from me.”

Louise looked over at Monique and hugged her. “Monique, thank you so much for today. Who knows what would’ve happened to me if it wasn’t for you.”

Henry was standing behind them at this moment. He was wearing a tailored shirt with a business vest that fit him perfectly. His charming eyes flashed with an eagle-like brutality, and his nose looked perfectly sculpted. His slightly pursed lips were incredibly good-looking as well.

Monique patted her shoulder and said, “You should thank him, he saved you.”

It was him! It was the man from just now!

Louise had been crying in terror on Monique’s body and forgot to thank the man who saved her. Her eyes widened in shock when she turned around to find this handsome, tall, and classy man.

Was that not their very own, handsome, and flirty CEO!

“Mr. CEO!” Louise exclaimed.
