While attending his brother's funeral, Neil Mo noticed the little girl, sitting quietly alone with both hands hugging her knees tightly.

The little girl had only lost both her parents. But in a room was full of people, no one seemed to pay attention to her.

"Grandma, I don't want to live away from my daddy and mommy... I know that I won't get to see them again... What if I miss them?" her words were a bit incoherent as she forced back her sobs.

Seeing the little girl, he felt something tugged on his heart.

"Hazel," Neil spoke after a while. "If you don't want to live in the countryside with grandma, then would you like to live with me?"

After losing his younger brother in an accident, the President of the MH group, Neil Mo, decided to look after his five years old niece. Who knew that looking after a child could be difficult than securing a business deal!

Noticing that his niece was particularly close to her kindergarten teacher, Neil then offered her a job as a babysitter.

"But, President Mo, what do you mean by living together?"

A Lifetime With You

"Mister Wu, aren't you here to look for President Mo?" Edith asked as they reached the lobby area. "You don't need to send me back. I can manage. Besides, public transport in L City is pretty good."

A chuckle escaped him. "Miss Qian, you don't have to be polite. I came to see Neil just to hand over some documents to him. My mission is completed and I have time to send you home."

Unable to decline his invitation, Edith followed Henry to his Range Rover and ride shotgun. He drove out of the basement and into the road.

"Miss Qian, are you sure you are not interested in working for me," Henry spoke after a while. He glanced at Edith with a languid smile. "You can tell me. Hazel is not here today."

Edith laughed and a gentle smile appeared on her face as she recalled how the little girl had prevented her from joining Henry and his security firm.

"Mr. Wu, did you offer to send me home just to ask me to change my career?"
