Trapped with the CEO

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!

"Lucy, have you seen any child? Maybe I was wrong." He asked a female secretary next to him who was also surprised.

"Joey! Is there a little girl? Who is she?" How could a little girl be in the company?

"Right! Of course I was wrong." Joey thought. He took off his glasses and decided to have a little rest cause the tiredness made him dizzy.

Harry stepped out of the elevator with Nicole in his arms and went out of the company, ignoring the astonished crowd.

"OMG! CEO has a child in his arms! I can't believe it!"

"Oh, that girl is so cute. Is she CEO and Yolanda's child?"

"CEO cares about the girl so much. She must be his child!"

"Wow, the child of CEO and Yolanda has grown up!"

The gossip spread soon and everyone knew CEO and Yolanda had a child.

Lola sat on the closestool in toilet, hearing those talking about Harry and Yolanda's child outside.

She thought with a sneer, "Harry has covered the truth for so many years! Since he has a child, how could he tamper with her feelings? He is not qualified to be a father!"

In Harry's eyes, Lola also had a child with other man, so their relationship, which was inappropriate to be exposed, should be ended. After all, the children shouldn't be hurt.

Those women stopped their gossip when Lola went out of the toilet cubicle. They smiled at her with embarrassment and dispersed. Lola smiled and nodded at them, as if she hadn't heard anything.

She went back to office, disappointed. In the office, Joseph was reading magazine, cross-legged. "Why are you here?" Lola asked his brother with surprise, who had suddenly appeared in her office.

Joseph answered with the excuse he had already come up with, "I come by your company and will leave soon."

Of course, Lola didn't believe him. But she started working immediately with no more talking for she was in a bad mood.

On the pedestrian street near the company.

Many people were coming and going on the street in peak-hour.

When Harry, who stood out in the crowd of people, appeared in the ice cream shop with lovely Nicole in his arms, everybody was looking at them.

The shop became crowded immediately. Although one little scoop of ice cream could cost nearly 100, people were still scrambling to buy. Most of the consumers were girls, who came here mainly to see the pair of father and daughter, who were so gorgeous that all of them wanna have a look.

Harry put Nicole at a neat and clean table and bought her six scoops of ice cream as she required, three of which were strawberry flavor, and others banana flavor.

"Uncle, can you feed me?" Nicole watched Harry eagerly, and the man couldn't resist the little girl's begging.

He took the spoon and fed Nicole with the ice cream while talking about funny things.

Nicole laughed at times, which attracted others' attention.

Harry cracked a rare smile and many people took photos of him with their phone quietly.

He talked with Nicole happily and wiped her mouth softly as she finished eating.

The little girl looked at him while giggling. She was happy to have such a considerate dad.

Harry seldom had chance to hang out in work time. The he took Nicole to eat seafood paella.

He also bought her a latest limited-edition Barbie doll. Nicole was so excited that she kissed his face several times.
