Chapter 136

Henrick regretted not making a police report in order to save his reputation. He should not have delayed his search for this gem-like daughter

He stroked Arielle's hair lovingly. "Let's go. I'll take you to work and give you a tour around the company. You haven't seen it since you came back, right?"

Arielle nodded with an excited expression and followed Henrick into the car.

Soon, they arrived at Southall Group.

Staring at the skyscraper, bits and pieces of memories started flooding back to her.

Sannie, I'm going to a meeting. You stay in the office and do your homework, okay? Don't roam around.

She recalled how Maureen would not leave her alone at home and brought her along to her office.

She also remembered the secret compartment in her mother's office, which had a lot of things kept inside.

She wondered if the secret compartment was discovered when it changed hands from Moore Group to Southall Group, she might be able to replace some clues about her biological father if the compartment still existed.

"Sannie, what's wrong?" Henrick walked to her after noticing that she had not followed behind him.

Regaining her senses, Arielle replied, "It's my first time here, so I want to take a good look... After being kidnapped, I had a high fever and lost some memories about the past."

"I heard. It's okay if you can't recall the past.

What's more important is to live in the present.

I'll make it up to you."

Henrick's gaze was filled with fatherly love, yet Arielle saw something more than that. She saw greed in it.

Arielle was well aware that Henrick was not being genuine to her. She was not what he valued, but rather, the genie in the lamp that he had found.

"Yup, I know you're the best to me." In contrast to her warm and submissive smile was her icy-cold heart.

He caressed her head again. "At first, Soir Coffee could not replace an ideal location for the shoot because it's a challenge to rent an entire building like this where many people work in it. When I heard about it, I made a majority of the employees go on paid leave and rented the premises to your team. I did that for you. Therefore, enjoy your day at work."

"Thank you, Dad."

Arielle tried her best to suppress her disgust whenever Henrick touched her. Pretending to be gleeful, she followed him into the building

The layout of Southall Group felt so familiar yet distant to Arielle. Her memory was fragmentary. Besides Maureen's former office, she could not remember much about anything else.

Upon entering the lobby, she saw Iris waiting for her at the reception desk.

"Ms. Sannie, you're here. I was about to give you a call."

Arielle nodded, "My dad was heading to the company too, so I came early. Where's everyone?"

Iris greeted Henrick and then answered Arielle, "The rest of them are at the highest floor. You're playing two roles today, a CEO and a whitecollar worker. We'll shoot you as the CEO first and the scene will take place at the highest floor."

Arielle blinked. "That means I'll have to do it at the CEO office?"

"Yes, that's right." Iris smiled politely. "Mr. Southall has been so kind and cooperative. He's asked someone to tidy up his office. They are now setting up the filming equipment and tools."

Both of them chatted as they walked into the elevator.

Henrick pressed the button for them but did not enter.
