Billionaire's Sweetie: Honey All The Time

The moon looked hazy as it hid behind thin wisps of clouds against the night sky.

In the Square Hotel located in the center of H city...

With a camera and a small recording pen in her hands, Lollo Shen sneaked into the thirteenth floor of the hotel.

She knew where all the surveillance cameras were placed. That way, she managed to stay within all the blind spots until she finally reached a door at the end of the hall.

As she took out the key card in her pocket, she beamed from ear to ear. 1314! Yes, this was it!

She carefully opened the door and went in to set up the camera. She did all of this in one breath. "Peacock to Eagle. Eagle, do you copy? The machine has already been placed. I repeat, the machine has already been placed. Over."

"Great. Get out of there, Peacock. Now." With a nod, she quickly but quietly ran back to the door.

Just when she was about to open the door, she heard a man's voice outside. There was no doubt that he was about to enter the room. Lollo Shen was shocked and she felt her heart skip a beat.

However, she immediately snapped out of it and hid herself in the closet nearby.

She often encountered unexpected situation like these. Being 'invisible' was one of the many skills she had to learn.

Through a crack in the closet door, she faintly saw the door swing open. A man walked in. Even though he was far from her sight, she could clearly see how handsome he was.

The brown wind coat highlighted his slender figure and the aristocratic temperament could be seen in his movements.

The man was none other than Harrison Jing!

Lollo Shen quickly took her phone out to take photos of him.

However, in the next second, she suddenly felt a wave of guilt.

Would it be right to do something like this to a person like him? What did he even do wrong?

Harrison Jing took of his coat and his watch before proceeding to remove his shoes and top.

Lollo Shen quickly closed her eyes. Only when she heard the sound of running water did she dare to open her eyes again. She did not expect to see the man taking a shower!

The bathroom door was completely transparent, and so she was able to see everything.

Harrison Jing was in her full view.

Her face was flushed all the way to her ears.

Ten minutes later...

With a bath towel around his waist, Harrison Jing walked out of the bathroom and opened a bottle of whiskey. Taking a few gulps, he nearly finished the glass of whiskey he had poured for himself. It was easy to feel that he was rather irritated over something. This woman was making him wait too long.

With a sigh, he stood up and walked towards the closet where Lollo Shen was hiding.

'Is he going to open the closet?' she asked herself as he reached out his hand.

Lollo Shen took a deep breath before closing her eyes, her heart fluttering wildly. 'Is this the end for me?' she thought helplessly.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

The sound came from outside the door. Lollo Shen also looked at the door and found out that Harrison Jing was already on his way to open it.

Peeping through the crack, Lollo saw a woman standing outside the doorway. The woman had an oval face and long, blonde hair.

Just seconds after, she threw Harrison onto the bed before he could even react.

After a long struggle, he finally got rid of her.

"Harrison..." the woman whispered in a charming voice.

She pressed herself against Harrison's body.

"Behave yourself! If you stay here tonight, I promise I will give you the money. But if you don't listen, then that's on you," Harrison warned in a low voice.

The woman immediately quieted down and closed the door behind her.

Meanwhile, Lollo was still hiding in the closet. She was confused about what was currently happening.

It turned out that the woman was the one sleeping on the bed, while Harrison was sleeping on the sofa for the whole night.

Early morning...

Harrison left a check worth one million on the bed just before he left.

It wasn't until Harrison left when the woman slowly opened her eyes.

She flashed a huge smile when she looked at the check on the bed.

After getting the check, she also made her leave.

With this, Lollo was finally able to crawl out of the closet. Her bones felt weird after being crammed inside a closet the whole night.

'Ugh! Who even designed this room?' she complained to herself. The closet was right beside the bed, and so she was not able to find an opportunity to leave the entire night.

Nevertheless, her stay there didn't go to waste.

Lollo picked up the video that was recorded last night. Although she didn't get any exciting videos, she had taken pictures of the woman kissing Harrison.

Although the camera didn't get a picture of the woman's face, but the man's face was easily recognizable.

"Harrison, Harrison... How much do you think I should sell this video for?" she asked with a meek smile.

She carefully put the camera away. It was big news. Her boss, Alice, would definitely pay her a lot of money for this.

The smell in the room was so pungent that she couldn't stay any longer. She immediately took out her mobile phone from the wardrobe and was about to leave. When she turned her mobile phone on, she saw that she had eleven missed calls. All of them were from Alice.

Before she could react, her phone rang again.

She had put her phone on silent in order to not expose herself, which was why she didn't hear any of Alice's calls.

"Lollo, where were you last night." Alice's voice came through as soon as the call was answered. "I asked you to take photos of Harrison last night. Why did you disappear with your camera?" she pressed.

With an evil and attractive smile, Lollo said, "Others were only able to take a few photos of him. But I have a video. This time, it will definitely be the front-page headline that can shock the whole business world."

"A video?!" Alice exclaimed in shock. "Where are you? Hurry and I'll pick you up," Alice said.

"Dont' bother. I'll be coming to you. But the price..."

Lollo deliberately paused for a while. Alice immediately answered, "Don't worry. I will give you a good price."

After packing up her things, Lollo turned around and looked at the wardrobe. It was dazzling.

But as soon as she opened the door, she was blocked.

"Miss, please take the medicine before you leave!"

Gerry was holding a bag of pills in his hand. Lollo glanced at the pills. "Contraceptives?!" she exclaimed.

'What? What's going on? Did he mistake me for that lady? I look nothing like her!' Lollo thought, feeling insulted.

She wanted to talk back to him, but she knew that she couldn't blow her cover now. If anyone here found out who she really was, the camera in her pocket would definitely be confiscated. On top of that, her life would also be in jeopardy.

Without thinking too much, she grabbed the pills and stuffed them into her mouth.

"All right, all right. Just go!"

Gerry stood there to make sure that she had swallowed the pills before he left.

After walking out of the hotel, Lollo quickly returned the camera to Alice and got her reward. With that, she immediately left. She didn't go home all night, and knew that her stepmother would surely scold her once she got there.

Just when Lollo was about to open the front door, she heard Marian Zhu's shrill voice coming from inside.

"My daughter, I am so proud of you! You're finally together with Harrison. This is great news for the future of your father's company!"

As Marian Zhu spoke, she looked at Olivia Shen, grinning from ear to ear.

There was an arrogant air around Olivia Shen as she flicked her hair over her shoulder. Her father had always compared her with Lollo. But now, she was definitely going to gain his favor -- Olivia Shen had been personally selected by Harrison's grandfather to be joined in marriage. With his wealth and ability, he ranked second to none in H city.

"Now, all that's left to do is to kick Lollo out. That way, you will be the only possible heir of our family! With our status and your relationship with Harrison, there is nothing we cannot do!" Marian Zhu continued excitedly.

As mother and daughter happily talked among themselves, Lollo was able to hear everything. Taking a deep breath in, she put her hand on the door and opened it.

"Auntie, sister, I'm back."

As soon as the two saw her, their faces darkened.

"Lollo, where did you go last night? You disappeared for no reason. We are all worried about you!"

Marian Zhu pretended to be nice, but in fact she was hoping that something bad really happened to Lollo.

"I was just with Allen," said Lollo indifferently as she walked past them.

Even with all this fake courtesy, Lollo knew that the Shen Family didn't really consider her as a part of their household. Even her own father, Paul Shen, gradually stopped caring about her. On the surface, he would sometimes show some compassion towards her, but Lollo knew that it was just all for show.

A faint smile appeared on Marian Zhu's lips when Lollo said that she was with Allen Yan. He and Lollo had practically grown up together. Unlike Harrison, Allen Yan came from an ordinary family. It was more than Marian could hope for.

If Lollo and Allen Yan ended up together, it would be easier to let them fall under the radar and completely cut off Lollo's connection with the Shen Family.

"That's just downright shameful. You two are almost living together before you even get married," Olivia Shen commented, her nose wrinkling in disgust.

"Well, at least Allen is honest. I heard that you are going to marry Harrison. I think he's perfect for you, and I hope you cherish him wholeheartedly,"

Lollo said, a hint of sarcasm in her voice. It was obvious that Olivia only married Harrison for his money. Once Harrison's video came up later that afternoon, she wondered if Olivia would still be able to laugh then.

After saying that, Lollo went back to her room. The last thing she wanted to do was to spend another second with those two.

Closing the door behind her, she counted the money she had just earned. It was nearly twenty thousand dollars! She was lucky that she was able to get that video of Harrison. With a newfound vigor, she started to look for a place she could rent on her own. The next year, she would move out of this house under the pretext of internship.

The sooner she left, the better. She didn't want to stay there any longer than she needed to.

Feeling excited, she even started to pack up some of her things. A while later, her phone rang. It was Allen Yan, saying that he was there to pick her up for school.

Olivia rolled her eyes at Lollo when she left happily, but Lollo couldn't care less. With a smile on her face, she hopped on Allen Yan's scooter.

"Why are there dark circles under your eyes? Did you stay up late?" Allen Yan asked worriedly.

With a smug smile on her face, Lollo got on the scooter and shrugged. "I was just doing some investigative work on Harrison last night."

After saying that, she yawned widely.

'Isn't he the famous businessman in H city? Although he was very smart in business, he was said to be a playboy and had a habit of doing things in an immoral way,' Allen Yan thought.

"Okay... Just be careful, Lollo. Don't get caught by that guy. We'd better not provoke such a person."

"Don't worry. I have sold the video to Alice. Even if they check it, they won't find out that I was the one who took it,"

Lollo smiled confidently. Since she was not an official employee, Alice couldn't publish news under her name even if she wanted to. But it didn't really matter to her since she was always able to sell the news she had for a high price.

That morning, Lollo had no classes until later in the afternoon.

And so, she took this time to get more material for her news articles.

But as soon as she reentered the school, all of her other classmates were whispering to each other as they pointed right at her. Furrowing her brows, she took out her phone to see how she looked like through her camera.

Seeing that there wasn't anything on her face, she couldn't help but wonder what the problem was.

What could these people possibly be talking about?

At that moment, one of her friends hurriedly ran up to her. "Lollo! Lollo, you're finally here..." June Yan said as she panted heavily.

She then grabbed Lollo's arm and pulled her to a more discreet place. "Tell me the truth. Where did you go last night?" she asked.

"You know where I was. I went to shoot the photos of Harrison for Alice. By the way, the news should have come out by now."

Much to Lollo's surprise and confusion, June Yan's mouth opened in shock. "Lollo, tell me the truth. What's the relationship between you and Harrison?"

The relationship between her and Harrison...

What relationship could she have with him?

"I have nothing to do with him," Lollo stated. 'Well, okay. Maybe that's not completely the truth since he's my future brother-in-law. But still... I have no relation to him!'

June Yan shook her head in disbelief. "Ah, I didn't expect that you would hide the truth even from me!" she said as she pulled out her phone.

She found out the news in her mobile phone and showed it to Lollo--

"Today, a website exposed the video of a girl and Harrison. In the video, the two of them were getting intimate all night long. Given the room layout, it was difficult to see who the girl exactly was. However, sources have confirmed that the girl Harrison was with is a junior student of H University, named Lollo Shen!"

"Wh...What's going on?!" Lollo cried out.

She grabbed the phone and took a closer look at the news article. 'This is bad,' she thought nervously. 'My name and school has been exposed! If Harrison finds out that I've been taking pictures of him in secret, it would be the end of me!"

"June, please trust me. I have nothing to do with Harrison..."

With a helpless shrug, June Yan sighed, "It doesn't really matter now whether I believe you or not. You should be more worried about Allen. He's very anxious now."

At this point, Lollo felt like she was about to burst into tears at any moment. How could she ever explain herself now?

Right now, the best thing she could do was to call Alice at once and ask her what had happened!

As soon as she took out her phone, a limited edition red sports car rushed straight to her from the school gate. A tall man stepped out as soon as the car came staggering halt.

"Miss Lollo?" the man asked her.

Left in a daze, June Yan nudge Lollo to snap her out of it. "Ah. Y-yes," she stammered. "That's me."

"Miss Lollo, please come with me. Our master wants to see you."

He made a gesture politely, and Lollo nodded without thinking. "Okay."

Even though June Yan was hesitant to let her friend go, there wasn't enough time for her to react.

As soon as Lollo got into the car, she saw the man sitting next to her. Her face turned pale with fear.

Before she could get out, the car was already driving quickly down the road.

The man sitting next to her was... No one other than Harrison!

Her eyes and mouth was wide open in shock. Seeing him there made her heart drop to her stomach.

At this point, there was no way she was going to get out of this car.

'What should I do?' Did Harrison already know that it was her who took the pictures? Was she going to die in the car?

Harrison looked at her up and down with cold eyes. "Lollo?"

She nodded timidly. "Yes..."

Unexpectedly, at this time, the expression on his face immediately changed completely. "Nice to meet you. My name is Harrison," he greeted as he stretch out his arm for a handshake.

For a few seconds, Lollo was still frozen in shock. Then, she gingerly reached out her hand as well. "Hello..." she stammered.

As soon as she held his hand, Harrison leaned in closer to her, his warm breath grazing her skin the slightest bit.

Instinctively, Lollo leaned away from him and smiled timidly.

"Mr. Harrison, what can I do for you?"

"Is your father Paul?"

"Yes, sir!" Lollo answered honestly.

Harrison nodded thoughtfully. Why did Harrison mention her father all of a sudden?

But on second thought, although her family's status in H city was not as high as the Jing Family, her father was still a small entrepreneur. It was not surprising that Harrison knew her father.

Besides, Olivia was about to get married to Harrison, so he was supposedly her future brother-in-law.

If so, he might not know it was her who took the photos.

Thank God! Thank God!

After thinking for a while, Lollo finally found a suitable reason for his coming to her, and felt a bit more relieved.

All of a sudden, the car stopped. Looking out the window, Lollo saw that they were in front of a photo studio. Now, she was even more confused. It was such a secluded place that she didn't even know such a photo studio existed in H city.

"What are we doing here?" she asked meekly. Ignoring her question, Harrison pulled her out of the car and took her inside the studio.

Before she knew it, she was already having her photos taken with him.

In no time at all, the photos were quickly developed.

Lollo took the photos curiously. It surprised her that she actually looked good in the photos. Her simple, white shirt looked very fresh and flattered on her.

Of course, since she didn't know what was going, the expression on her face was rather dull and serious.

Before she finished looking at the photos, a pair of big hands grabbed them. She jumped up to snatch the photos but failed.

Harrison then quickly put them inside his coat pocket.

"It's my photos. Are you not going to give it to me?"

She looked at him pitifully, but his warm smile touched her.

"I paid for it, so the photos are mine." His tone was very businesslike as he said this to her.

Then, the smile on his face suddenly became a bit sinister, making her shiver with fear.

"So... Did you ask me to come here just to take photos?" she stammered.

"So what if I did?" Harrison said as he got in the car, closing the door behind him.

Pursing her lips, she followed him and tried to open the car door, but it was already locked.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

Harrison stuck his head out from the car window and scoffed, "As punishment, you should find a way to go back by yourself." Then he closed the window and the car drove off.

Standing in the middle of the road, Lollo looked up and down the street. How could she get back from this desolated place?

Besides, she didn't bring any money with her...

'What is this cheap trick?

And what is he even punishing me for? Maybe he really did know that I was the one who took the photos... That's why he took me to this place on purpose... Was he supposed to kill me?!

But he didn't do anything bad to me so...'

Thinking about it carefully, Lollo just felt lucky that she was still alive. After all, a candid photo or video could greatly impact the image of such a public figure like Harrison. It was good at least that he didn't do anything worse than leave her on the street.

And so, she started her long walk back home.

The next day, Lollo was woken up by a call from Alice. "Come over here now. It's important," Alice said. Before Lollo could say anything, Alice had already hung up. Looking at the clock, she saw that it was only five o'clock in the morning. With a grunt, she got dressed and went over to the TV station.

When she got there, Alice didn't even bother to greet her -- she held up the news article that was to be released later that day. Seeing the headline, all the sleepiness from Lollo completely went away.

"Tell me, Lollo. What happened?" Alice asked, almost accusingly, with her hand on her hip. "You're financially stable enough, right? Or are you really willing to sacrifice yourself to satisfy the public?"

Lollo was stunned. Looking at the news that was about to be broadcast, her head was starting to feel so light. "Alice.... What's going on?"

"Yesterday, someone sent the photo anonymously to our station. I was suddenly told to sort out this message. I really didn't expect that you had already married Harrison!"

Obviously, Alice didn't believe it.

On the other hand, Lollo was having a hard time wrapping her head around what had happened.

Looking closer at the marriage certificate in the photo, she found the photo was what Harrison had asked her to take yesterday.

What was going on? It was the photo they took yesterday.

Why was it on the marriage certificate now?

"Alice, have you gotten in touch with Harrison?"

"No. Our reporters have been blocking his door these days, but we haven't seen him come in or out."

What the hell! He came to her yesterday.

It was obvious that the marriage certificate was his doing. Was he crazy?

Just when she was still trying to process everything, her phone suddenly rang.

"Hello, is this Miss Lollo?"

"Y-yes. Is this Harrison?"

"I'm Mr. Harrison's chief assistant, Gerry. Our boss needs to see you. I will send the address to you, and please be there in thirty minutes!"

"No, I can't... Hello? Hello?"

Before Lollo could refuse, the man on the other end of the phone hung up.

Then she received a text message. When she saw the address, her eyes widened in shock. It was in JH villa!

It would cost a lot of money to hail a taxi to go there.

'Why should I do anything he says?' Lollo thought to herself stubbornly.

But at this point, it seemed that she had no choice. She had been married unwittingly. Besides, this was probably her only chance of finding out the truth. Alice asked her who that was, but Lollo quickly left. "No time to explain!" Lollo hurriedly said as she rushed out of the station.

Outside, Lollo managed to get a taxi. "To JH villa," she said to the driver. Then she handed the driver two hundred for the fare, and only got five dollars as change. Looking at the money in her hands, she couldn't help but frown in disappointment.

The driver looked at her with disdain. 'Jeez. How can someone who lives in a place like that care about five measly dollars? I guess all rich people are just stingy.'

A few minutes later, the taxi arrived at JH villa. Garry was already there, waiting for her. Walking up to the taxi, he even politely opened the door for her.

"Oh, it's you," she muttered.

He was the man who stopped her at the gate of the hotel that day and asked her to take contraceptives!

Gerry bowed politely and said, "Miss Lollo, nice to meet you again!"

"Ha ha..." Lollo forced a laugh. 'I really hoped not to see you again actually,' she cried in her heart.
