“How about you compensate me by marrying him instead ?” He asked with a wink .
“Hmph no way!” She replied with a snort and added “You did not lose anything, why should I compensate you?” She asked“Of course I am about to lose something “ he replied as a matter of factly“What?” She smirkThe woman was still standing there watching them interact naturally , she looked at Shawty with a jealous look. She blamed Shawty for flirting with her boss in front of her.Fredrick suddenly glanced at her, she quickly masked her vicious eyes and changed it to a pitiful look. “ Boss … “ she called slowly“You are fired “ Fredrick interrupted her expressionlessly“What???” The woman yelled in surpriseShawty was also surprised that Fredrick decided to fire her but she did not say anything .“I won’t repeat my words” Fredrick saysThe woman thought she did not hear him properly, she was oneShawty walked away. Her figure looked lonely. Fredrick felt his heart ache for her; he hated how sad she looked. She stood on the balcony, looking at the distance in a daze; she was not looking at anything in particular. Frederick walked towards her and stood quietly beside her to keep her company. They stood there for a few hours; no one said anything, but it was peaceful. "Maybe she is really right." Shawty finally spoke up after a few hours of silence. "I am bad luck; I guess it was my bad luck that made my parents die," she said, feeling melancholy. "Shhh, you are not bad luck; you don’t have to care about that nonsense that woman said," Frederick said. Shawty chuckled. "I know you are just trying to console me," she said. "It is a fact! I keep getting important contracts since you followed me back; I never regret it," he told her."Really? You really signed important contracts after I arriv
Shawty nodded obediently and asked, "Can you bring me to my parents graveyard?" She requested. Fredrick wanted to reject her request because it would be cold and chilly outside and she might catch a cold. "Please…" She begged in a low tone. She looked a little pitiful with her puffy eyes. "But..." Fredrick hesitated. Her eyes fell, and she looked disappointed when she saw him hesitating. "You can’t...?" She asked sadly. Fredrick took a deep breath and sighed helplessly, "Fine, but you must listen to whatever I say, okay?" He said it with a hint of warning. Shawty nodded without hesitation. She does not know why, but she feels that she could trust him. Her heart was filled with warmth right now. Whenever she is sad, there is no one beside her to console her. In the company where she works, they only see her as a money tree because of how perfectly she always completes the mission. After Leonard, who is the boss of
Was what Fredrick said really correct?She thought doubtfully. Are parents truly happy that they are together? If that is really true, then her mission would have to be dropped, or it would surely make her parents unhappy with her. She shook her head. No, she cannot let her parents be unhappy with her. She had to drop it."You can also see that your parents love you. This ray of light means they have forgiven you, okay? So don’t make them unhappy again." Fredrick’s voice broke her thoughts. Shawty snapped out of her thoughts and nodded. She smiled at him and thanked him sincerely, "Thank you." "It is fine." He caressed her cheek. His eyes fell on her soft, cherry-pink lips. He could not help but lean closer to her, but he immediately stopped himself. What are you doing? She is sad; don’t go overboard. He scolded himself. Shawty blinked her eyes at him and looked at h
Shawty did not reply to his question again. Fredrick was not mad; he just smiled. "Let’s make a deal." Shawty's ears perked up when she heard his words. "What deal?" she asked. "I’ll help you regain your freedom and make Leonard not disturb you anymore," he said with a smile. Shawty was not the least excited when she heard his words. Like, how the hell will one make a deal with someone and not expect something in return? It seems too good to be true. "What are you gaining from it?" She asked with a raised eyebrow."Marry me," he said. Shawty was dumbfounded. She was expecting him to have a list of requests, but marriage was not on the list, she thought. She frowned and rejected him without hesitation: "No way!" She said. "I thought you said you wanted to repent when we were at the graveyard today? Are you still considering joining back?" He asked with an annoyed expression.
There was silence on the phone for a few seconds, but Shawty knew her guess was right when she saw this.Her lips curled up in a mocking smile.She hung up the phone without hesitation.It seems she is really stupid, like Frederick says, or was she just pretending to be stupid? She knew deep down in her heart that Fredrick was right, but she just did not want to admit it and choose to believe. But her eyes were widened to reality now.She sighed and lay down on the bed. She used the quilt to cover her body, her eyes fixed on the ceiling.Beep! Her phone beeped.She knew it was a text message because it only does that whenever she has a text message.She picked up her phone and unlocked it.It was Leonard."It seems you still don’t believe whatever I say. Anyway, hurry up with the mission and come back. Don’t forget that Emily, your sister, is still waiting for you." That was the text message.Her heart turned cold.How can she forget about Emily?The text message looked like it was
Her jaw dropped, and she was instantly shocked.There were dark circles under her eyes. Now she understands why Frederick was sure she could not sleep, but she really thought he peeped on her when she was inside the room.Thinking about it now made her feel so embarrassed; no wonder he was mad at her. It seems she misunderstood him.Ring! Ring!Her phone rang!She dipped her hand into her pocket and brought it out. There was a little zipper in the gown she wore, so she could put her phone there.She glanced at the screen.It was her uncle who was calling.She answered the call and put the phone in her ear."Hello," she said."Shawty, How are you doing?" Leo asked."I am fine," she answered.She could hear Leo sighed from the other side; she was not a warm person, and she did not really have friends; besides, she was not really close to Leo. She only shows her true feelings to people she is close with. Like Emily."That is good to hear. Where are you?" He asked."In a taxi," she repli
when the glass of the backseat slid down.She looked up, and her gaze met an unfamiliar face.It was the shareholder who had no reaction when she was inside the meeting room.Shawty nodded at him."You have grown up," the man said as he scrutinized her. "You look more like your father," he added.Shawty was surprised. She always thought she looked like her mom, but this was the first time she heard that she looked like her father."You know him?" She asked. She realized how stupid her question sounded, but she had already asked and could not take back her words."Of course your father and I were very close. Get in if you want to know more," he said.Shawty nodded.She walked to the passenger door so she could sit beside the driver."Come and sit next to me." The man's voice stopped her.She turned around and walked to the other side. She opened the door and got into the car.The car was very neat.She sat down next to him."To where?" The man asked.She told him about Frederick Compa
Who was he kidding? Her education was top-notch; it was more than whatever he learned or even his daughter learned. That was why the way she grew up was a secret to Leonard Larl. She was very educated, and she had almost twenty teachers with different subjects. Even though she was young, she was never allowed to step outside. But she was very educated, and her memory is very good, which is why she was a genius. In fact, when she was kidnapped, she was locked up in a room filled with children. Most of the children were crying; she was the only one who did not shed tears because she knew that crying wouldn’t solve anything. Some of the children she met in the room looked very skinny, to the point where one could see their bones. They were fifty children in total. Most of them died, but only five of them survived. Among the five who survived, she was one of the best and the chosen one. They were fed different kinds of poisons just to make them immune to poison, and most of th
