Trapped with the CEO

Chapter 114 Mr. Si. What A Coincidence

Thomas politely pulled a wooden chair, on which there was a soft cushion, out for Lola. "Thank you." Lola gave him a smile and sat down. A waitress, who was in the same green cheongsam as the greeter at the doorway, came into the private room the second after Thomas sat down near Lola.

The waitress came to them with a sweet smile on her face. "h.e.l.lo, this is our menu." She said while putting the menu in the middle of Lola and Thomas.

Thomas pushed the menu closer to Lola and asked her to order.

Lola didn"t refuse. She picked up the menu and scanned it, "Which one do you prefer, Tieguanyin or Pu "er Tea?" Now that they were there to appreciate tea art, then those two kinds of tea would be the best choices.

"Tieguanyin, please!" Thomas pointed to the Tieguanyin, which was the most expensive tea on the menu. It cost over 1200 for each teapot.

There was only several grams of tea leaves in each teapot! Lola thought that was too expensive, but she still said, "OK."

Seeing Thomas order the most expensive tea, the waitress displayed a brighter smile.

Cause the commission from a teapot of Tieguanyin would be higher than her daily wage.

The tea was served up soon. Lola cursorily watched the waitress rinsing tea leaves and tea set for them. Then the waitress poured two cups for them and asked Lola and Thomas to smell the faint scent of tea first and then taste.

Lola seldom tasted tea, cause she didn"t have much extra time for such kind of leisure activity. All her time was occupied by work and Nicole. But she really enjoyed the tea.

After the first brewing, the light-colored tea sent forth a fresh scent which could cheer people up.

Lola took a sip. The scent lingered in her mouth after the mellow-flavored tea water went down her throat.

"How is it?" Thomas stared at Lola with a tender smile.

Lola emptied her cup and nodded, "It"s really good." She found tasting tea was really enjoyable.

The waitress refilled their cups.

"Yes. This restaurant is quite good. I have come here several times. How about coming here together again next time?" Thomas was happy to see Lola"s expression of enjoyment.

Seeing Lola nodding without hesitation, Thomas revealed a grin excitedly.

Although the waitress was quite skillful at every procedure of tea making, she was still cautious with her every singal move. Because who she served was the President, the most powerful man in A Country.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Thomas shifted his sight to the doorway and said, "Come in, please."

The door was opened right away. Then an elder woman with gray hair was coming in slowly. Seeing the elder woman, Thomas stood up immediately. Lola followed him to stand up. Although she had no idea who that woman was.

Thomas scooted to the elder woman and shook hands with her, "Mrs. Han, I didn"t expect to see you here today. How lucky I am!" Melody Han gave an amiable smile to Thomas.

Thomas was her best student to be proud of. She taught Thomas for three years in junior high school.

"Ha...ha...I was planning to go home but they told me you are here." Mrs. Han said.

Melody Han was a retired teacher. Her grandson helped her open that restaurant after her retirement.

Thomas glanced at Lola, who was standing behind him at that moment, "Yes. I come with my friend today. She really likes here."

Hearing Thomas was talking about her, Lola came up to the elder woman and greeted her as Thomas did, "h.e.l.lo, Mrs. Han. Nice to me you."

Melody Han turned to Lola and shook hands with her. Then she turned to Thomas, "Such a beauty. Thomas, is she your girlfriend?"

"Not yet. But I am working on it." Thomas was quite straight to that elder woman.

Hearing Thomas"s answer, Lola blushed at once. "Why so straight! How embarra.s.sing it is!" She thought.

"Ha...ha...young lady, don"t hesitate any more. Thomas is an excellent man. I"m sure you won"t regret if you choose him." Mrs. Han seemed to be quite satisfied with Lola. She had been expecting her grandson to have a girlfriend as soon as possible.

Lola smiled slightly at her words and then glimpsed Thomas. Noticing Lola"s glance, Thomas asked, "Mrs. Han, how about joining us?"

Mrs. Han knew Thomas was trying to change the subject to disembarra.s.s Lola. She smiled at Lola and Thomas, "May be next time. It"s too late today. I"d like to go home now."

It was easy for the elder to get tired. Melody Han really wanted to go for sleep at that moment.

Several waitress in red cheongsam came in with exquisite dishes in their hands soon after Lola and Thomas sent Melody Han off.

They laid dishes out on the nearby stone table. Lola and Thomas moved to the stone table after all dishes were served.

Thomas picked a shrimp, which was fried with Longjing tea, into Lola"s bowl, "Try this. Mrs. Han"s grandson helped her open this restaurant. Speaking of her grandson, I think you know him."

Then Thomas picked a shrimp for himself while introducing the restaurant to Lola.

Mrs. Han"s grandson was Harry"s friend. He was serving as the legal adviser in SL Group.

"I know Mrs. Han"s grandson? Who is that?" Lola asked cursorily while putting the shrimp into her mouth. The shrimp tasted quite tender.

"Samuel Shao, the famous lawyer." Thomas replied. Samuel Shao was regarded as the legend in the legal community. Almost everybody in the legal community knew him.

Lola remembered that man, who was with Harry years ago. "I met him once before." She nodded.

Both of them enjoyed the dinner very much and the atmosphere was quite good. It was drizzling when they came out from the restaurant.

Thomas opened the umbrella he just took over from his chauffeur and held it for Lola.

Then they started walking side by side to the car parked in front of the doorway.

Joey was holding an umbrella for Harry, who just drank with Samuel Shao, and was walking towards the bridge when he saw a familiar figure. "That woman looks like our deputy CEO?" Joey couldn"t help uttering what he was wondering.

On hearing Joey"s words, Harry, who had got flushed after drinking, squinted at the woman in front them at once.

Joey knew he was right, cause Harry"s look turned cold the second after he glimpsed that figure.

"Who is the man with Miss Li?" Joey wondered. But he didn"t dare to ask.

Harry recalled the phone call Lola was answering last night. "It seemed that was from Thomas Herren and they were talking about the date today." Harry thought angrily.

His steps became faster and faster. Joey had to trot so as to keep pace with him. Only G.o.d knew was it coincidence or destiny. Harry"s Maybach and Thomas"s Lincoln were parked next to each other.

Glimpsing the familiar Maybach parked nearby by accident, Lola had a bad feeling.

Then a cold voice arose behind her, "President Herren!" Lola was so scared that she couldn"t help holding Thomas"s arm at once.

Looking at Lola"s hands tightly holding his arm, Thomas smiled. No matter why Lola did that, he was happy to be closer to Lola.

He knew who the man was behind them. Thomas turned back with a happy smile on his face, "Mr. Si. What a coincidence!"

Lola bent her head down and stared at her shoes. She wasn"t planing to greet Harry.

If they were not in the company, then they were just strangers, weren"t they?

With a frozen look, Harry licked the bite on his lips, and gazed at the woman, who kept her head down and turned a blind eye to him. "Yes. Such a coincidence. Mr. President came here for dinner too?" Said Harry who was in a black coat that day. Besides, his shirt and trousers were all black too.

At that moment, he was standing there straightly with both his hands in pockets. Behind him was Joey, who was holding an umbrella. Harry looked like a honorable king.
