Joseph seated Nicole in the child seat, then drove out of the garage.
"Nicole Li, I'm just your driver, and you are responsible for what happens next." He wanted to distance himself for if Lola knew it, she would certainly kick his ass.
Nicole enjoyed the scenery outside with excitement, ignoring what Joseph said.
In SL Group.
Nicole took the elevator from the underground parking directly to CEO's floor. The elevator arrived, but no one came out. The secretaries thought somebody may have chosen the wrong floor. So they continued working.
What she didn't see was a little girl who stooped down and sneaked out of the elevator.
Nicole opened the door of CEO office quietly while the secretaries were concentrating on their work.
They heard the door closed. But they didn't know what happened in the office, nor did they care.
In the office, Harry and Nicole, who was standing at the doorway, were looking at each other. The little girl looked like a princess in the pink skirt.
"Excuse me, are you Harry?" The little girl asked in a cute voice.
Harry stood up beside the desk and looked at her in a fatherly way. "Yes. What can I do for you little girl?"
He recognized the cute Nicole, who he once glimpsed at the gate of Li family.
"I can't find my mom, so can I have a rest here?" Nicole curled her lips pitifully and Harry squatted to see her closely.
"Where is your dad?" He really wanted to hug her. Actually, he did so. He couldn't help feeling protective towards this little girl.
"Mom said he was seeking fortunes abroad." She felt comfortable in Harry's arms. "Daddy's so handsome." Nicole thought.
Abroad? Harry remembered Lola had said the girl's mom was on a business trip, and maybe Nicole was too young to tell the difference.
"Uncle, are you married?" She came here to find out whether her mom still have the chance to marry Harry. She was very happy to see the man shake his head. Such being the case, nobody would take her dad away!
Nicole put her arms around Harry's neck tightly, which made him thought she was afraid. So he smiled and said gently, "What's your name?"
"Uncle, I am Nicole!" She was happy to have Harry as her dad for he was not only handsome, but also as tall as her Uncle Jordan.
"Nicole? What a wonderful name!" Harry sat on the sofa and put the girl on his legs.
Nicole kept holding his neck, and he was happy to see her doing this. He wondered whether the girl's dad often went abroad.
"Uncle, could you please take me to have some ice cream?" Nicole looked at Harry seriously, hoping her dad wouldn't refuse her.
"Why do you want to eat ice cream? Are you hungry?" His voice became tender unconsciously and the cold, arrogant eyes were filled with happiness.
"No. My classmates all go to eat ice cream with their dads, but my dad never goes with me." Nicole really wanted her father to take her to eat ice cream and feed her.
Hearing that, Harry thought her father was really busy and didn't have time to look after his daughter. He could understand this, cause he himself was often too busy to have meal.
"OK, let's go."
Everyone in the secretary division was so astonished that they couldn't utter a word when seeing Harry walking out of the office with a little girl in his arms.
Joey rubbed his eyes in disbelief. Who was that girl? She was even in Harry's arms!
