Chapter 135 Grew Up Without the Company of Her Dad
Harry carried Nicole and went back to the office in full view of his surprised and confused employees.
This time, those secretaries knew that what they had seen before was real. So here came the question. Who was the child in CEO's arms? When and how did the child enter the office?
A little bit tired, Nicole rest her chin on Harry's shoulders quietly. "Nicole, are you sleepy?" Harry couldn't help smiling when he saw this plump and cute little girl was about to sleep.
It was not the first time today that he had wished Nicole were his daughter.
Nicole nodded. Then Harry took her to his lounge. "Call my uncle later. He is also here." Nicole did not forget to remind Harry before falling asleep.
"Okay!" The man answered. He tucked in Nicole and was ready to go out.
Suddenly, a small hand took hold of his palm. "Daddy." Nicole unconsciously mumbled, giving Harry the illusion that Nicole was his daughter.
Nicole took hold of his hand and called him "Daddy". It seemed that she grew up without the company of her dad.
He rubbed her hair and gently kissed her forehead before he left the room.
If Lola hadn't aborted their child, it must be as cute as Nicole.
After coming out, Harry was lost in thought. After a long while, he called Lola with his phone.
In the deputy CEO office, Lola saw the caller ID and was a little bit puzzled. Why did he call her during working hours?
"Tell Joseph to come to my office." She heard Harry's low but dulcet voice.
"Oh, okay!" How did he know that Joseph was in her office?
"Joseph! You have been in my office for a while. What are you up to?" Lola hung up her phone. She looked at Joseph, feeling that he was weird today. He always played computer games when he had nothing to do. Why did he come to her office and stay there for several hours without reasons?
"What? Couldn't I stay here for a while?" Joseph pretended to be a little angry. In fact, he had no choice...
"Harry is waiting for you in his office." Joseph suddenly stood up from the sofa. Lola cast another glance at him for she guessed that he was hiding something.
"Wait a minute. Why is Harry looking for you?" Lola came up and walked around him. She could sense the conspiracy.
"Nothing." Joseph rolled his eyes at his suspicious sister.
On a second thought, Lola guessed they might talk about business. "You can go now!"
Joseph left as soon as Lola finished her words.
Wearing sunglasses, Joseph appeared on the floor of CEO office. Joey had already got Harry's instructions and said, "Mr. Li, you can go in directly."
Joseph took off his sunglasses and nodded at Joey. Then he blinked at those secretaries who were excited at seeing him. Those secretaries were in ecstasy immediately, utterly bewitched by the handsome Joseph.
In the CEO office.
Seeing the young man coming in, Harry asked, "Did you bring Nicole here?"
Joseph went blank suddenly. He was not aware of what had happened between Nicole and Harry. So he nodded at Harry and said, "Yes, I had planned to bring her to my sister. But that naughty girl said she had something important to do and ran away. She even forbade me from following her." Joseph shrugged.
It was impossible for Harry to believe him! "Is she really the child of your sister's friend?" He asked again.
Joseph was confused. "If my sister says so, then that's it. Where is Nicole? Isn't she here?" He looked around to look for Nicole.
Harry started at Joseph with his piercing eyes, which intimidated Joseph. The second before Joseph came clean, Harry said, "She is sleeping in the lounge."
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door of the lounge and walked in.
At this point, Harry received a short message from Lola. "We shouldn't meet each other in private anymore!"
The man was annoyed. He started to think about why she sent the message. After a while, he texted back, "You are dissatisfied with my performance in bed?"
Then Joseph came out of the lounge with Nicole in his arms. Harry frowned at him. "Do not take her away until she gets up."
Joseph looked at Harry and then at Nicole, thinking of the knocking-off time. "Well, Nicole Li. You only had half an hour to sleep. Otherwise, your mother will be home before us."
After Nicole was carried back to the lounge, Harry looked down at his phone. "I cannot be more satisfied with your performance. But I think it is… inappropriate… for us to meet each other in private."
"Where is your sister?" This unexpected question confused Joseph, who just came out of the lounge. He had to think about how to answer.
"She hasn't been anywhere but working in her office after I come!" What was going on between them two?
Harry fell into silence. You could never know what a woman was thinking. Did she have the final say? Did she want to leave him?
Joseph trembled at seeing the irritated Harry. He wondered why he agreed to let Nicole sleep here a little longer. This man was so intimidating. Joseph wept in his heart and decided to focus on his phone instead of looking at Harry.
His sister was so brave to have a child with such a cold man. Wasn't she afraid of freezing to death? Harry must be a devil! At the thought of this, Joseph really wanted to flee.
"Stop your wild imagination!" Harry's cold voice interrupted Joseph. Harry knew well what Joseph was thinking from his changing expressions.
Joseph felt embarrassed and smiled at him. This man must be a prophet!
Harry gazed at the smiling Joseph, who looked like his sister.
"Boss Si, are you bi…bisexual?" Harry's stare scared the hell out of Joseph. Why would he choose to stay with such a man?
What was he thinking about? Harry coldly scanned his face again and said, "You are not that attractive. I only have feelings for your sister!"
With that, Joseph patted his chest at once. "Hey, my ex-brother-in-law…"
"I wouldn't mind if you just call me brother-in-law!" The man cut in, still looking at the computer.
Joseph was wordless at once. Then the man suddenly faced him and said, "I have several leading international entertainment companies. I can give you an offer as you wish and help you develop your career. Moreover, I can buy you a villa in whichever city you like, as well as a Shelby Supercar."
"You want to be my sugar daddy?" After a long while, Joseph opened his mouth and confusedly gazed at this powerful man.
