Every Breath You Take

Chapter 98

Monica's ovulation period is conning soon. She started to look forward to Quarmy's call, but things went

contrary to her wishes. It was as if he had suddenly disappeared and never called her again.

Instead, she received a strange call. It was from a company and the caller said she was hired.

The company was YZ Group. It was quite famous in Jiang City. Monica was not very hopeful when she

submitted her resume, so she was really surprised.

The unexpected job made Monica very happy. She called Summer and told her about this matter.

Summer happily said that she'd take her to dinner to celebrate. Monica refused because it should be

her treat. After Summer got off work, she went to the restaurant with Monica.

During the dinner, Summer had been reminding Monica of what she should pay attention to when she

was in a new company. Generally, big companies would bully newcomers. If she wanted to get a

foothold in the company, she had to endure humiliation. In addition, big companies were full of intrigue.

She asked Monica to be careful and not to trust others easily. Monica had learned a lot.

Monica went to the new company. She studied marketing management and was assigned to the

marketing department. She had just taken up the job, so she didn't know a lot about it. She couldn't

help but be a little cautious, because she was afraid of mistakes. Fortunately, the manager treated her

well and taught her in person. Other colleagues were also very friendly to her. What Summer said didn't

happen. The good working atmosphere made Monica very surprised and she gradually adapted to it.

One day, the manager asked her to meet the customers with him. He said that Monica should

familiarize herself with the company's business. The manager had been in touch with these customers

in advance, so things went great.

After signing the contract, the manager asked Monica to go back first. Monica took the elevator

downstairs, but she then received a phone call from the manager, who asked her to have dinner with

the customers.

Monica had to go back to the hall. She sat on the sofa to watch TV and wait for the manager. "Miss

Mo?" A voice sounded. She looked up and saw Noah.

"Why are you here?" Noah asked her.

"I'm waiting for someone!" Monica answered. Quarmy should be here too. She subconsciously looked

around but did not see him. Noah was Quarmy's confidant. Last time, he must have had a hand in

setting her up. Although she knew that it was his duty, she could not forgive him. She continued to

watch TV with a cold face without even looking at Noah.

Noah didn't care about her coldness. "Mr. Huo is here today." Monica did not speak. It had nothing to

do with her. At the same time, the manager walked out with several men. Seeing Noah and Monica,

they were obviously surprised. "Mr. Noah!" One of them came quickly and greeted Noah very politely.

He was the manager of another company. At this time, the others all came over, including Monica's

manager.

Everyone greeted Noah. As Quarmy's confidant, Noah was indeed popular. Monica sneered in her

heart.

After greeting Noah, Monica's manager secretly asked her, "Are you familiar with Noah?"

"I just know him," Monica answered. The manager was surprised. It was a good thing to know

Quarmy's subordinate. In the future, they would have a lot of contact with Quarmy's company. When he

was about to speak, the elevator door opened again. A tall man walked out of the elevator. "Mr. Huo!"

Hearing that, Monica looked over and saw Quarmy standing in front of the elevator. She

subconsciously wanted to run away. Suddenly, she saw a woman in yellow. Then, Mary came out from

behind Quarmy.

Quarmy looked over. Although there were many people, Monica had a feeling that he was looking at

her. Quarmy strode over to them, and the people around Noah immediately went to greet him.

It was their honor to be so close to Quarmy and talk wit him. After all, Quarmy was rich and powerful.

They kept greeting Quarmy intimately. Quarmy gently shook hands with them one by one, but his eyes

were still on Monica. Seeing that, Monica looked away indifferently. This man was really disgusting. No

wonder he didn't call her these days. He was too busy!

Mary, who was by Quarmy's side, also noticed Monica. She walked over quickly with a smile on her

face. "Miss Mo!" She greeted Monica warmly.

"Tina." Monica reached out her hand and smiled faintly.

"I am working in VSUS now," Mary said. She was explaining to Monica why she and Quarmy were

here. Monica sneered in her heart. Quarmy was really smart. In order to stay with his mistress every

day, he actually let his mistress work for him. She hated him a little more.

She looked coldly at those people who were flattering Quarmy. There was a sarcastic smile on the

corner of her mouth.

YZ Group's manager was secretly observing Monica. Miss Mo must have a strong background.

Otherwise, why would the headquarters call him to deliberately take care of her? However, she was

humble and had no temper. He had always felt that he was wrong because she seemed to have no

backers. But since she knew Noah, he was sure that she was not an ordinary woman. It seemed that

he had to treat her better in the future...

"Now that we're here, I'll buy you all dinner today!" After greetings, Quarmy said lightly. His words

surprised everyone except Monica. It was really an honor to be treated by Quarmy.

With that said, Quarmy looked at Monica faintly. Then, he took the lead in walking to the door. Other

people immediately followed him. Monica wanted to leave, so she pulled the manager's clothes and

said, "I have plans tonight. I'm not going."

"No." The manager shook his head and lowered his voice. "It's an honor to have dinner with Quarmy.

You are lucky."

Monica laughed in her heart. When did Quarmy become so powerful? The manager added, "Doesn't

Mr. Huo have a female companion? All of of us are men. Don't you know his female companion? It's an

opportunity to make friends with her."

Monica couldn't refuse anymore. She felt uncomfortable. If the manager knew that she and Mary were

Quarmy's mistresses, he wouldn't have said that. However, she couldn't tell him the truth. She was

unhappy, but she still followed them to the hotel.

They went to the best private room at Jiang City Hotel. There was no doubt that Quarmy had the

highest status here. He sat in the main seat while Mary sat on his left. Monica was pushed to sit beside

Mary, and the manager was next to her.

Since it was Quarmy's treat, of course, there were a lot of delicacies. Monica suppressed her

unhappiness and started to enjoy it!

Quarmy was the king in Jiang City's business world. Being admired by Quarmy would definitely benefit

their future development. Except for Monica and Mary, all the people present flattered Quarmy.

Quarmy was calm and composed. In the face of all kinds of compliments, he kept smiling faintly.

Monica sneered. A man who was morally corrupt was destined to be a loser no matter how successful

his career was.

The dishes were served one by one, and people kept flattering Quarmy. Monica just lowered her head

to eat and ignored those compliments.

At a dinner party, there were always toasting. Quarmy hardly drank, but strangely, he didn't refuse

others' toasts. Everyone knew that he had a bad stomach, so they didn't ask him to drink much.

Quarmy just took a sip, while others would drink it up.

Everyone had toasted Quarmy, except Monica. She ignored Mary and did not care about what others

were talking about. The manager secretly complained. Monica was not an idiot, but why was she so

dull at this moment?

He thought that she would take the initiative to talk with Quarmy's female companion, but all she did

was eat.

When the manager saw the way Monica was eating, he shook his head. It seemed that she had never

eaten delicious food before. It was impossible for her to take the initiative to toast Quarmy. Therefore,

he reached out his hand to poke Monica and motioned her to toast to Quarmy.

Since the manager had asked, Monica couldn't pretend to be confused. Although she was busy eating,

she heard others' compliments to Quarmy. This man was so disgusting that he could keep still calm.

What a hypocrite!

She didn't know why, but there was a fire of anger in her heart. Didn't you like to be complimented?

Weren't you calm? I had to teach you a lesson.

Monica put down her chopsticks, picked up a wine glass and walked toward Quarmy with a smile. "Mr.

Huo, I've heard a lot about you and I admire you very much. I'd like to propose a toast!"

Quarmy narrowed his eyes slightly. This woman had been eating since she came in, but he could still

see the sarcasm in her eyes.

He knew her well, so he naturally knew what she really meant. She was such a proud person, so it was

no wonder that she would dislike compliments.

He also saw what her manager did. He thought she would refuse, but he was wrong. She said so many

compliments to him and went to propose a toast to him in person. He was a bit surprised. Then, he

smiled faintly and said in a extremely gentle tone, "Miss Mo, thank you! I'm empty it. Be my guest!"

The manager was slightly stunned. He didn't mention Monica when he was chatting with Quarmy. How

did Quarmy know her surname?

While he was thinking, Quarmy raised his glass and drank it up. He also showed Monica the bottom of

the glass. Monica did not say much and drank up the wine in her glass.

There was a round of applause. "Miss Mo, you are really great!" Quarmy actually drank up his wine for

Monica. It was really surprising.

Everyone looked at Monica. Just now, they were all flattering Quarmy so they didn't pay much attention

to her. Now that they suddenly found out that this woman was really beautiful. No wonder that Quarmy

would admire her. But didn't others say that Quarmy was cold to women? What was going on?

"Mr. Huo, let me fill your glass!" Monica slowly picked up the bottle and poured wine for Quarmy.

Quarmy did not refuse. He just smiled and watched her pouring wine for him. It reminded him of the

past. At that time, she was also pouring wine for him with a smile. Suddenly, he was a little sad.

"Mr. Huo, how about I toast you again?" Monica raised her glass to Quarmy again. Quarmy smiled.

"Great!"

The two of them had another drink. Monica picked up the bottle again and filled Quarmy's glass. "It's

my great honor to know a big shot like Mr. Huo."

Quarmy's face was a little pale. Monica was satirizing him. He didn't say anything and continued to

drink it up. Monica continued to fill his glass. "I wish Mr. Huo more and more money!"

Quarmy did not refuse. He drank another glass of wine. Monica continued to pour wine with a smile.

Seeing Quarmy drink four glasses of wine in a row, Mary began to worry.

She didn't know how much Monica could drink, but she was very clear about Quarmy's stomach

disease. She didn't forget what Quarmy suffered last time.

Would it happen again? While Mary was thinking, Monica raised her glass again and smiled at Quarmy,

"Mr. Huo, I'm so glad to see you. I wish you ten times the success you're having now!"

This meant that she wanted Quarmy to drink ten glasses of wine. Quarmy's face changed. Where did

she learn those toasts? He felt a little guilty. She used to be an innocent and simple girl. It could be

imagined how difficult her life had been.

He did not hesitate to pick up the wine glass again. Seeing that, Mary was a little anxious. "Miss Mo!"

Her voice inevitably sounded a little loud.

In fact, Monica couldn't drink. But she was so angry that she wanted to gamble with Quarmy. She

thought that he would refuse, but he actually drank four glasses of wine in a row. Then, she directly

asked him to drink more without hesitation. She wanted to see if he would refuse.

Quarmy didn't refuse, but his lover was distressed and even tried to stop him. Seeing Mary's anxious

look, Monica sneered in her heart. Then, she trembled slightly and the wine in her hand was about to

be sprinkled on Quarmy's head.

Mary's voice was so loud that Quarmy frowned and turned his head to look at her. Therefore, he

happened to avoid Monica's wine. But his his brand-new suit was full of wine stains. Everyone present

gasped.

Monica's face showed fear. She grabbed the tissues on the table and wiped Quarmy's clothes in a

hurry. She repeatedly apologized, "I was scared by Tina. My hand trembled. Sorry, Mr. Huo."

With her wiping, Quarmy's fancy suit was covered with tissues, which made him look even more

embarrassed. The people around all widened their eyes, and the manager of almost came over to chop

her hands.

There was no sign of joy or anger on Quarmy's face, but his hands held Monica's hands accurately. "It

doesn't matter. Let's continue drinking!"

Everyone thought that Quarmy would be angry, but he didn't. When they saw him holding Monica's

hands, they finally knew that he had a crush on her.

Monica originally wanted to tease Quarmy, but she didn't expect him to be so shameless.

The person sitting next to Quarmy immediately got up. Quarmy pulled Monica to sit next to him.

"Everyone knows that I can't drink, but I'm really happy to see Miss Mo today, so I'd like to drink more!"

As he spoke, he picked up the bottle and filled Monica's glass. "Miss Mo, please!"

Monica drank her wine up, so did Quarmy. "Miss Mo is really good at drinking. Why don't we drink

cross-cupped wine?"

As soon as he said that, everyone applauded and cheered. Monica's face turned red. Originally, she

just wanted to embarrass Quarmy.

However, she didn't expect that he would be so tolerant and even tease her in return. Someone

immediately fill their glasses. Quarmy picked up his glass and looked at Monica with a smile. Monica

really wanted to pour the wine on his face. But she saw her manager's worried eyes, so she

suppressed her anger. Then, she rubbed her forehead. "I'm dizzy... I've drunk too much... Excuse me!"

"Miss Mo, are you really drunk? I'll take you to sober up!" Quarmy put down the glass in his hand and

stood up naturally. Before she could react, he grabbed her hand and walked out of the room under

everyone's shocked eyes.

In an empty corner, Quarmy pressed Monica against the wall.

"Good for you, Monica. I really underestimated you!" He stared at her and sneered. "You want to see

me make a fool of myself, don't you? Why don't we bet who will be more humiliated?"

Monica looked at him and suddenly smiled. "Mr. Huo, I didn't mean it."

"Really? Do you think I'm a fool?" Quarmy sneered and put his strong hands on her shoulders. She

was still so beautiful, which made him dazzle. She seemed to be a little different from the past, but he

couldn't tell what the difference was.

"Monica, you really impress me!" He slightly raised the corners of his mouth and stared at her smiling

face without blinking.

Monica looked at him and suddenly screamed, "What? Let me sleep with you?"

Her sudden scream attracted everyone's attention. Quarmy's face darkened. Before he could speak,

Monica shouted again, "Sir, you've made a mistake. I'm not a w*ore. You should go to the nightclub."

"Monica!" Quarmy grabbed her hands hard, and his face was full of anger. He growled fiercely, "Are

you crazy?"

"Give me money? No! Sir, you really found the wrong person. I'm just here for dinner, not for sex..."

Seeing the playful look in her eyes, Quarmy finally realized that he lost. The woman in front of him was

no longer the innocent woman she used to be.

She knew how to judge the situation and how to use other people's weaknesses. For example, at this

moment, Quarmy was the famous president and the son-in-law of the mayor, while she was nobody. If

this matter was spread out, it would only bring shame to him. People would say that he wanted to force

a beautiful woman to have sex with him.

He couldn't let this woman go on like this. He raised his hand to cover her mouth. Although he moved

fast enough, many people heard what Monica just said.

Some of them knew Quarmy, so they all looked shocked. They really didn't expect that Quarmy was

actually a hypocrite.

Monica couldn't make a sound anymore, but her eyes were still full of sarcasm. Didn't you want to bet?

Did you think I was still the fool who cared nothing but dignity? Were you afraid?

Quarmy saw the sarcasm in her eyes. She was really hateful. How could this woman become like this?

It seemed that he had to teach her a lesson. He covered her mouth and pulled her out. Monica

struggled desperately, but it didn't work. Quarmy dragged her into the elevator. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

After entering the elevator, he let go of her. Monica stared at him. "What on earth do you want?"

"You'll know it soon!" Quarmy looked at her coldly. Monica felt cold when she saw his eyes. The

elevator was rising. Her heart sank. What did he want to do?

While she was thinking, the elevator stopped. Quarmy dragged her out of the elevator and even took

out a room card from his pocket. Seeing that, Monica struggled desperately. "I'm warning you, don't do

anything stupid!"

"Weren't you fearless just now?" Quarmy opened the door recklessly and dragged Monica into the

room.

After the door was closed, Monica's heart sank. "Don't you mess with me!"

"Are you afraid now?" He reached out to hold her chin and looked down at her. "Don't you think it's too

late?"

There was a smell of perfume on his body. It was the same smell on Madrigal. Maybe it was because

the wine that Monica felt sick. She reached out to push Quarmy. "Stay away from me! I feel sick!"

Monica was telling the truth, but Quarmy misunderstood. He thought she was disliking him again. He

felt so resented that he held her chin tightly and was ready to kiss her.

Seeing his closer face, Monica couldn't endure it anymore. "Whoa!" Then, Quarmy's face was covered

with dirt.

A pungent smell spread through the room. Quarmy was speechless. He held back his nausea and

rushed into the bathroom with Monica.

Monica felt much better. When she saw Quarmy's face, she couldn't help giggling. It was you who

asked for it!

He turned on the faucet and rinsed them both. The pungent smell was reduced, but he and Monica

were both wet. "Hey, what do you want to do?"

Monica couldn't open her eyes because of the splattering water. She could only shout at Quarmy.

"Let you sober up!" Quarmy answered coldly. He didn't stop until he could no longer smell the pungent

smell. He felt uncomfortable with his wet clothes, so he began to take off his clothes. Seeing that,

Monica turned around to leave, but was caught by him. Then, he reached out to take off her clothes.

Monica struggled desperately but it was useless. He quickly took off her clothes.

It was not the first time they had seen each other naked, but at this moment, Monica felt very

uncomfortable and her face turned red. Quarmy was happy to see that. "Didn't I see you naked

before?"

After saying that, he began to take a shower. Monica gnashed her teeth with hatred. "You beast!"

"What did you say?" He squinted.

"Nothing."

"Monica, you asked for it. Since you like to provoke me so much, I'll satisfy you. I haven't made you pay

for what you did just now. How dare you vomit on me? Come here and bathe me! By the way, give me

a massage."

They used to bathe each other when they were in love. At that time, she liked to give him a massage.

His heart was itchy. He really missed the wonderful past.

However, Monica ignored him. His words reminded her of the past. At that time, she would bathe him

and massage him after he got home. A sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth. How stupid she

was! The disgust and sarcasm in her eyes made him very uncomfortable. He reminded her slowly,

"Don't forget that we have a contract..."

Monica's face changed. She grabbed the towel and walked to him. She used all her strength to

massage him. She cursed him in her heart. "I'm massaging a pig!"

In the past, she used to rub his back lightly, so her sudden force made Quarmy feel a little painful. This

woman had lost a lot of weight, but she was stronger than before. "Stop! Do you think you're

massaging a pig?"

"You know it?" Monica replied and found that she had said something wrong, so she immediately shut

up. Quarmy turned around and looked at her with a faint smile. "Let me serve you!"

"Thank you very much, Mr. Huo. But I know myself well. I can't afford it."

"Really?" Quarmy raised his eyebrows. "Go ahead."

"Mr. Huo, you are my boss. I'm just your lover. I don't dare to let you serve me!"

He naturally knew she was mocking him. His face changed. "Monica, don't go too far!"

"I dare not!"

Quarmy's face was livid. He took a shower quickly. Then, he wrapped himself in a bath towel and

strode out of the bathroom. Monica breathed a sigh of relief. She was very familiar with Quarmy's

temper. She deliberately angered him just now. Only in this way could she escape.

Monica was listening to the sound outside while taking a bath. It was very quiet outside. Monica stayed

in the bathroom for a long time, then slowly wrapped herself in a bath towel and walked out. When she

opened the bathroom door, she didn't see Quarmy.

He left? How? Was there his spare clothes in this room? She walked over and opened the wardrobe.

She was surprised that the wardrobe was filled with clothes.

No wonder that he would carry the room card with him. It seemed that this room was a place where he

met his lovers. Monica felt sick when she thought of it. This man was too dirty.

But now was not the time for her to dislike him. She had to find a way to get changed and get out of

here. While she was about to call Summer, the door opened. Mary appeared at the door with a bag.

"Monica, this is your clothes."

At this time, it was meaningless for Monica to refuse. Monica thanked her and took the clothes, but

Mary had no intention of leaving. Monica heard that she called the waiter to clean up the room. It

seemed that she would not leave for now.

Monica did not have the habit of changing clothes in front of outsiders, so she carried the bag into the

bathroom. After putting on clothes, she put her wet clothes in the bag, and then walked out of the

bathroom.

When she came out, she saw a waiter cleaning the room. Mary was watching TV on the sofa. Monica

suddenly had an idea. Did Quarmy prepare this room for Mary?

She was not familiar with Mary, so she wanted to leave directly. Seeing that, Mary said, "Monica, let me

send you off!"

"Thank you, but we're not familiar with each other!" Mary looked at her back and opened her mouth,

but she didn't say anything. It seemed that Monica disliked her!

The waiter cleaned up the living room and then went into the bathroom. Mary stood up and left. When

she just walked to the elevator door, the waiter's voice came from behind. "Tina, wait a minute!"

"What's the matter?" Mary looked back at the waiter.

"I picked it up in the bathroom. It should be left by the young lady just now." The waiter handed a jade

pendant to Mary. Mary took it casually and suddenly felt it a little familiar.

Why was this jade pendant the same as hers? The waiter returned to the room, while Mary was

surprised.

She didn't dare to think more and quickly entered the elevator.

In the elevator, Mary's heart was pounding. She tried to calm herself down, but she failed.

She rushed out of the hotel and drove to her apartment. She parked her car downstairs and trotted into

her apartment. Then, she went straight to her bedroom without changing her shoes. She gasped and

took out a box from the drawer of the bedside table and opened it. There was a green jade pendant in

the box. She put it with the jade pendant that the waiter gave her.

They were exactly the same! The words of her adoptive parents flashed through her mind. "This is the

jade pendant that your mother gave you. As long as you could find the owner of this jade pendant, you

could find your mother."

Jade pendant! Mother! Monica? What was the connection between them?
