Henry was so caught up with work that he did not notice that Monique was still there after dropping off the coffee.“Welcome,” he replied distractedly. It was just a mere flower bouquet. If she liked it, Henry could arrange for one every day.Monique stood awkwardly wringing her hands.Was that all?That was his response?A mere “welcome” without any follow up?Henry continued reading the documents in silence.At that point, Monique retreated from the office.She was embarrassed. What did she hope he would say?That he missed her?What happened to the shy Monique?She wondered why Henry called her to deliver his coffee.Did the 23rd floor not have coffee?She returned to the planning department frustrated as questions plagued her mind.When she walked into the office, she felt stares coming from her coworkers.At lunchtime, everyone left for lunch except for Monique.She glanced at her phone, wondering if Henry had his lunch. She remembered that he only took a small bit
Perhaps Henry fell for Monique.Was Henry trying to expose his identity by sending flowers to Monique in public? Was he acknowledging that Monique was his girlfriend?It was not their first time having a meal together. However, this would be Monique's first time inviting Henry for a meal. Henry was very delighted as his lips curled while he put on a beautiful smile and said, "Then, come upstairs for a meal."Henry beamed at the contract that Mandy delivered after he hung up the call. He went through the terms and conditions in it and placed it back on the table.Monique buried her face in her hands as it went red.She tidied up her clothes and was ready to head out.Initially, Amelia went to the restaurant. Then she came back to the office after she realized that she left her handphone and purse in the office. Upon reaching the office, she happened to hear Monique calling Henry 'dearie'. Seeing Monique's bashful expression nearly made Amelia throw up.'It's hard to imagine that
Monique arrived on the 23rd floor and it seemed that Mandy left for lunch as she made her way into the chairman's office.The chairman's towering silhouette was seen sitting on the office chair. He earnestly glanced through the documents on the desk.Monique's heart started racing when she saw Henry's handsome face. She lifted her head and took a gleam at Henry as she was feeling bashful. She then called out, "Dearie."Monique got used to calling Henry 'dearie'. It started coming naturally to her.She called out to him in a loving tone.Henry lifted his gaze and saw Monique's pretty face and glittering eyes. It was as though they were embellished with stars."Mm." Henry faintly answered. He got up and headed straight to the fancy dining table. He did not even ask Monique why she was late.Monique trailed Henry to the dining table and said, "I'm sorry, just now…"Monique's speech was cut short when she saw Henry staring at her chest.Monique's white shirt was drenched. Her silk
Henry smirked as he revealed a sneaky smile and said, "I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to resist myself if you keep seducing me like that."Henry's deep and sexy voice gave off a prestigious aura.Monique quickly walked away as she was terrified that Henry might not be able to control himself.Monique made her way to the dressing room. Monique felt that time passed in a blink of an eye. She could still vividly recall the first time she entered the dressing room. There were tons of clothes that had price tags showing its pricey cost. Monique remembered picking one without a price tag which she thought would just be an ordinary shirt. However, it turned out to cost $500.She even remembered being forced to kiss after she exited the dressing room.She thought Henry was a pervert.Henry could be very gentle at times. However, he can also be ruthless and perverted sometimes. He was very gentle earlier when he expressed his concern toward Monique.Monique touched her face and her lips.
Yvonne curled her cold lips after hearing what Amelia said. 'I didn't expect the chairman to be easily seduced.' Previously, Yvonne was still hesitating whether or not to send out the pictures.Thinking back at those relentless words Monique said to her made Yvonne have a deeper grudge against Monique.She took out her handphone and edited all the photos she previously took. She sent them to the number that she memorized.She then drafted another text message that said, [Dearie, these photos were taken by me when I accidentally saw my sister on a date with her first love, Simon Leeds. I've been hesitating for some time whether or not I should send it to you. After all, she's my sister. However, I've always liked you all this while. I can’t bear to see your feelings get hurt. I believe that you’ll be able to see how sincere I am. You don't have to be sad that it didn’t work out with her. You still have me. Whenever you feel down and need someone to talk to, just look for me. I'm will
Monique's body froze. Before she could even reply, the call was cut.She could make out that familiar gentleman's voice but she did not have a clue about what happened. 'Why was he so mad? Wasn't he still being gentle when I was about to leave his office?'Her whole body was shaking as though she was engulfed by a block of ice.She was wondering why Henry was in a raged mode. Monique recalled that Henry was still in a good mood when they parted.She was sure that this was the first time she saw Henry being so mad. She could sense the malicious aura from his tone.Henry's temper was always unpredictable. He would suddenly be cold or gentle without any prior notice. That made others fear him.Monique was holding on to the phone and was stunned. It was as though she lost her soul while her eyes seemed lifeless.However, she knew that she needed to be present in front of Henry immediately. Otherwise, things would turn out so horribly that she would not be able to bear with it.Moni
The office was dead silent and terrifying. Aside from Monique's own heartbeat, all she could hear was her own heavy breathing.She wanted to ask Henry what had happened.However, she did not have the courage to break the silence.She felt that being quiet now would be the best thing to do to keep her on the safe end.She decided to wait for Henry to question her before she started speaking.However, to Monique's surprise, Henry did not say a word. Instead, he marched his way in big strides toward Monique, stretching out his arms to surprisingly grab her by the neck.Henry's pupils were shrunken as he exuded a cold, heartless aura that could easily petrify anyone near him, in addition to his fury that was emanating from his every pore. Monique was terrified; she knew Henry was mad, but she never expected him to be so angry that he would choke her to death. 'She was fooling around, yet the innocence in her eyes makes me want to just destroy her.'Henry met Monique's eyes. The st
With Henry's strength, Monique's struggle was fruitless.'Indeed, it looks like she had no intention of admitting what wrong she had done!'She really is a b*tch!'I can't believe I even sent flowers this b*tch!'This is an insult to me.’Henry's grip grew even stronger.Henry dragged Monique forcefully and slammed her to the floor, then tearing her shirt to pieces. Monique was so terrified that all she could do was struggle and shriek, "No…no…"Henry smirked. "No? Weren’t you so eager at lunch? Why are you resisting now? Who do you think you are to just reject me and come to me as you wish. Don't forget that you're just here to repay your debt. You’ve never had the upper hand!"Henry had almost torn Monique's shirt completely off. Then, he got up and turned on the shower, "However, you look rather dirty right now. You ought to be thoroughly cleansed."The pressure of the water from the shower was very strong as cold water thrust onto Monique's body, making her shiver.Moniqu
