She was used to being a strong independent woman. A little warmth in life brings her tremendous joy. This was the first time she has received flowers. Although it was not very heavy, she was holding it as if it was.She held the flowers tight for fear that it might fall.‘What if you forget your identity as a lover, and not as his little girlfriend? After all, there was no other girl with him, isn’t it?’Monique felt less ashamed as she was thinking about it this way. Facepalm! ‘Monique, what were you thinking about?’Monique was shocked by her own thoughts. She loosened her hand out of sudden. The flowers fell to the ground. Some of the petals had also scattered all over the ground. Monique was stunned as she looked at the flowers on the ground. Even if he did take herself as a lover, she indeed did not deserve him. ‘Monique, what were you thinking about?’Mrs. Lawson walked over, “What’s going on? Do you not like the flowers? Let me know what kind of flowers you like
Mrs. Lawson thought about it for a moment… There was indeed something else. “Young Master instructed you to come back early after you’ve picked Angel up!”Monique’s legs trembled. Did he want to do it again after she returned home… Thinking of the previous night, his stamina was really good—he could even go to work that day. She, on the other hand, nearly could not walk. If he wanted another round, she might not have been able to wake up. Monique twitched her mouth in nervousness. She grabbed the corner of her clothes and asked, “Is there any reason why the Young Master wants me to come home early?”Mrs. Lawson smiled but did not answer her question. “You’ll know after you come home early.”Mrs. Lawson’s smiley eyes made Monique even more nervous. Monique could not stop thinking about Mrs. Lawson’s eyes even after she went in the car. It was a mysterious and confusing look. Monique left home slightly early that day and Angel was still in the classroom. Monique entered the
Monique's sweet smile looked beautiful. A little dimple appeared at the corner of her lips, looking youthful and adorable. Simon Leeds was enchanted. Angel was in a good mood. She held her mother’s hand with her chubby hand. “Uncle Simon, goodbye!”Simon replied, “Goodbye, Angel. Take care.”“Goodbye.” Angel reached out another hand and waved goodbye to Simon. She felt comfortable with Uncle Simon. Monique smiled, then she walked toward the kindergarten’s gate with Angel held in her hand. However, it seemed like Monique was very popular that day. As she walked out of the gate, another person shouted her name, “Monique!”She looked toward the direction of the voice and saw Yvonne standing there in her 10 cm tall high heels. Her thick, brown, and wavy hair was scattered randomly on her shoulders. Her eyelashes were curled up with mascara, and she wore a short vest paired with a short tank top, looking like a street girl. Her outfit made Yvonne look much more mature than he
While Monique was still stunned, Yvonne had passed the phone to Monique. “My Dad’s on the line. He’s asking for you.”Monique was stunned. Yvonne reminded her once again before she picked up the phone. “Uncle.”A loving middle-aged male voice sounded from the other side of the phone. “Thank you, Monnie! I heard from Yvonne that she’s now working at Marriott International. You must’ve helped her a lot.”Monique frowned and answered, “No.”She did not help her at all. Monique had only found out the day before that Yvonne went to Marriott International and did so in her own capacity. “You’re just being humble. I know that you must’ve helped her out. Your aunt spoiled Yvonne so she’s rather immature. May you be more forgiving to her in the company,” Zephyrus said lovingly. He indeed loved Monique dearly. And even though Yvonne was immature, she was still his biological daughter. Although Zephyrus was scolding her, he truly doted on his daughter. Monique understood what her uncle me
Angel truly disliked the woman in front of her. Even the polite Angel was unwilling to greet her. She turned around and smiled at her mother. “Mommy, let’s go home and meet Daddy.”Monique nodded and held Angel’s hand. She agreed with what Angel said. After all, she did not want to have any contact with Yvonne. She did not trust her, nor did she know if what she said was true; was she just scheming?How coincidental! Yvonne bumped into her as Monique came and picked Angel up. Monique held Angel’s hand and was about to leave. However, Yvonne would not let her go. She stood in front of her and stopped Monique. “Sister, are you still mad at me? I admit my wrong. My phone’s battery has truly died. I don’t know where I can find a telephone booth, and I’ve also forgotten to bring my key out. I have to call the housemate who co-rented with me, otherwise I won’t be able to return to my hostel at night.”Monique’s heart softened when she heard that she would not be able to return to he
Monique stared—in surprise—at Yvonne’s back as she left. She looked at the phone and returned it to her. Nothing fishy seemed to have happened. She held Angel’s hand and walked toward her car suspiciously. Carl had already opened the car door the moment he saw her walking over. Monique kept thinking of Yvonne who acted weirdly and did not think of the way she walked. She carried Angel to the car. As she got in the car, she shouted as she felt a searing pain in her nether region.Angel was deeply concerned and looked at her with her big black eyes. Angel stretched out her hand and pulled her arm. “Mommy, what’s wrong?”Carl closed the car door and walked toward the driver seat. Monique had to think fast. She raised her brows and said, “Nothing. A pig attacked me.”A pig attacked her? Angel opened her eyes wide in astonishment. “Where’s the pig? I’ll ask daddy to kill it.”Angel gestured as she exclaimed. She was salivating as she thought of the pork chop. Monique’s lips twit
The chairman had indeed treated Monique unusually well. He gave her a big bouquet of roses and was even going to bring her to a party. This had never happened before. Chairman Moore was never willing to take part in this sort of party. He would ask a vice chairman, or the public department’s manager, or deputy manager to take part in his stead. However, Chairman Moore unexpectedly attended this particular party. He apparently wanted to take Monique out for fun. Mandy did not dare to snub. She promptly went to the mall and chose a Givenchy dress, a silver handbag, and a pair of white heels. She even brought a senior makeup artist to the Moore mansion. As Mandy arrived at Moore mansion and got down the car, the car Monique was in was right behind her. Monique looked at Mandy and smiled happily. “Secretary Gray, why are you here?”Mandy smiled and replied, “Chairman Moore asked me to send you a dress.”“A dress?” Monique’s eyes were opened wide in surprise as she looked at
“Mommy, you’re so beautiful!” Angel’s dark eyes nearly turned pink. Her mother was so beautiful that she looked like a princess who walked out of a fairytale.Mrs. Lawson and the makeup artist were dumbfounded. An off-shoulder, pink, mid-length dress revealed her beautiful, slender neck. The pink dress contrasted Monique’s delicate skin, making it look fairer. The waist-retracting design outlined her curvaceous figure. The hem of the dress reached the knees and tapered in. However, it did not seem revealing. The pink dress was decorated with sparkling rhinestones. The style looked very simple yet elegant. Mrs. Lawson looked at Monique and complimented her truthfully, “Monnie, you look very beautiful even without makeup.”The makeup artist snapped back to reality. She had seen plenty of beautiful girls and celebrities, yet very few of them looked as innocent and beautiful as Monique. She brought Monique to the makeup chair and sat her down. “With a little touch-up, you’ll lo
