Chairman Moore’s girlfriend!When Monique heard Chairman Longchamp’s question, she bit her lips and turned around to look at Henry, looking forward to his response.Henry curled his lips slightly and answered, “Thank you.”He neither confirmed nor denied his question.Henry then turned aside to look at Monique with his brooding eyes. “Mony, what drink do you prefer?”His tone was calm and bland.Chairman Longchamp was an experienced businessman and knew not to press Chairman Moore further on the question that he refused to answer. He raised his hand to signal a waiter who was serving wine and all kinds of cocktails over.Mony?Was he referring to her? He clearly dodged the question on purpose.A hint of sadness flickered in her eyes. She put on a smile and answered, “I want some orange juice.”It could be that she wanted to indulge in the momentary bliss she was feeling at that moment. It was a good thing that he did not answer.Was it not?Orange juice was not an option on
Was this the reason why so many women wanted to sleep with Henry Moore? To be the center of attention?Monique felt that the gaze she received stemmed from jealousy rather than admiration. There were also all kinds of weird looks that made her uncomfortable. She would rather sit in the corner by herself quietly.Monique watched the crowd gather around the charming-looking man while she continued to eat.Initially, the crowd was mostly his business partners or those who were trying to collaborate with him. After a while, there were a growing number of young women around him but they remained a respectful distance.No one dared to approach too closely to him.Monique chuckled. His presence was so strong that even though people were lining up to get on his good side, none of them dared to go too close to him.While she pondered, she ate another piece of cake. It was her third dessert item. Even though they were all delicious, she began to feel a little sick of it.She cleared her p
Even though Monique stood there shoeless, she had learned Henry’s intimidating tone after living with him for some time. Even though her presence was not as strong as his, she managed to catch Paul Longchamp completely off guard.Paul’s expression altered slightly. The people here were all pristine guests. Looking at her glamorous outfit, she might be the girlfriend of someone important.His father would definitely kill him if he offended any important guests.However, his rationality was clouded by evil thoughts when he looked at the beautiful woman in front of his eyes. He arrogantly said, “I don’t care who you belong to. I will have you tonight.”Monique was stunned. She was about to tell him that she was Henry Moore’s girlfriend.Even though she wanted to say that, there was a little hesitation.When Chairman Longchamp asked Henry about this, he brushed off the question and did not give a direct answer. It was obvious that he was not willing to acknowledge her as his girlfrie
Nick Johnny chuckled. “You’re exaggerating. I’m surprised that you remember. I thought you’ve forgotten about it.”Monique thought that he was most likely referring to her forgotten promise to treat him to a meal.“I’m sorry. I’ve been busy with work these few days…” Monique frowned and said embarrassedly, “Let’s meet one day.”“You said it. Remember to call me,” Nick said smilingly with a clear voice.His voice had a calming effect on Monique’s nerves. She nodded. “Sure.”Then, Nick pointed at the seat in front of Monique and said gleefully, “Ms. Monnie, do I have the honor to sit with you?”“Of course.” Monique smiled gently and sat down.Her pretty eyes turned toward the direction where Henry had been but he was still nowhere to be found. Could he really leave without her?Monique’s heart dropped. However, she felt that it was inappropriate to leave Nick alone right after he helped her out of a sticky situation.“What is it? Are you looking for your boyfriend?” Nick asked.
“Hmm?” When Monique was still in a daze, Nick had already ordered the waiter to get him a band-aid.“It’s fine, it’s just a little cut.” Monique smiled, her dimples could be seen on both of her cheeks. She was less reserved toward him compared to before.Nick smiled casually and said, “I lost my phone after you gave me your number. That’s why I didn’t call. I’m sorry.”Monique laughed. “What a coincidence. The same thing happened to me too!”In reality, Monique hid her phone from Henry, afraid that he would throw it away.“You lost your phone too? What a fate we share,” Nick said, “What’s your current phone number?”Monique’s eye twitched and replied embarrassedly, “I don’t know my phone number.”Nick was unbothered by the revelation. He asked, “Do you have your phone with you?”Monique knew that he planned to use her phone to call him. That way, he would have her number.She nodded and took her phone out from her bag. It was the latest model with a pink shade. This phone was
Whose heart would beat for Monique?She could only dream of it in her lifetime.Like the one Henry constructed for her, she would have to wake up one day.No one would be willing to sacrifice for her. None before, and none in the future.She was just a speck of dust in the world that would fall onto the ground quietly in the end.She had gotten used to the idea of it after so many years.However, there was still a glint of hope buried deep down inside her heart.This was also the reason that she contemplated for quite some time before changing to this ringtone for the new mobile phone that Henry gave her.Nick chuckled. “Yeah, that’s why I said that we have the same fate. This just proved me right.”Monique smiled sweetly and did not reply. She took another sip of orange juice.Judging from how terrified Paul was just now, she could guess that Nick was as influential as Henry.As opposed to Henry’s domineering and unreasonable traits, this man was very polite and approachabl
Henry’s face had an unreadable expression, and the prominent lines on his face were so sharp and heartless. He was shooting daggers at Nick with his eyes. Monique felt as though he was about to tear Nick into pieces.Nick turned around nonchalantly as if he was unaware of the wrath behind him. He said with a clear voice, “Chairman Moore, when were you ever interested in women! I was under the impression that you batted for the other team for so many years!”Henry was boiling inside after Nick’s blatant provocation. However, his face was taut and his expression remained vague. He scoffed, “Mr. Johnny, when did you fall for my woman? If you like her just say it, I’ll give her to you!”Blood drained from Monique’s face when she heard him as her hands started to tremble uncontrollably.She could hear the bloodlust in his words. She was truly grateful to Nick for giving her a helping hand, but she had to return to Henry’s side immediately. Otherwise, he would send her away without even
Monique’s voice was sweet and crisp like a mountain spring.Henry’s rage subsided a little. The frost in his dark eyes seemed to fade and a hint of smugness flickered.He was pleasantly surprised that she outrightly rejected Nick without giving him any say.Nick was unbothered by it. He curled his lips slightly. “Well, you can find me anytime if you change your mind. I’m always available.”Henry was on the verge of exploding. Nick was clearly provoking him on purpose. He said, “Looks like you’re not too affected by the things happening in your Entertainment Empire in East City?”Nick smiled. “I didn’t make it too difficult for you with Country D’s order, did I?”Henry seethed, “Get out of my sight!”Nick gave Monique a meaningful look before turning around to leave.Monique was slightly relieved when he finally left.Henry turned around and peered at her. He sneered, “That’s fast. You just can’t bear to be alone without men even for a while, can you?”When Monique did not ret
