Those words out of Lola"s month threw Harry into silence. It was long before he asked, "Who is her father?" He tried to find out more.
Stars were blinking in the clear, dark night sky. It might be a fine day tomorrow.
"Does that matter, Mr. Si? You also have a child, don"t you?" She sounded cold. Harry slightly frowned when he heard such queer words.
He stubbed out the cigarette and untied his tie. "Who told you that?" What was she imagining?
It got quiet again. Lola recollected the gossip among her colleagues. She wasn"t mistaken.
"You have brought the child to the company today. I didn"t see her, but many others did. You don"t need to cover it up, Mr. Si." Maybe they were coming to an end. Anyone could be hurt, except innocent kids!
Harry sneered, "Miss Li, so even you believe rumors?" And that was her child indeed! If Nicole were his daughter, he would introduce her to everyone...
But unfortunately, she couldn"t be. They divorced over four years ago. How could Nicole be his daughter!
What did he say that? Rumor? So that wasn"t his child! Hearing this, Lola let out a sigh of relief.
It was so quiet that they could even hear the soft breath of each other. Over countless days and nights in the past, they had snuggled up to each other and felt the breath of each other in peace.
But now, they were in no position to care for and contact each other. Would they maintain their ambiguous relationship?
Thinking back to his occasional ferocious looks and ice-cold warnings, Lola wanted to give up.
"Good night, Mr. Si!" She said softly. Deep in her heart, she told herself to let it be.
Harry collapsed in the sofa with his eyes closed and heard the soft voice. Her smiling face crossing his mind and lingered.
"Lola."
"Um?"
He called her name in a masculine voice. The quiet night was pervaded with romance.
Her heart was pounding. Right now, her mind went totally blank as if she were floating on a cloud without knowing where to go.
"Come to me." Harry said gently. He wanted to see her now, desperately.
Lola tried hard to pull herself out of his gentle trap before she almost said yes. He was really good at flirting with girls!
"Playboy." She gnashed her teeth and ended the call.
Harry looked angry when the phone was suddenly hung up. So d.a.m.n good, Lola!
Lola stared at her phone and tried to calm herself.
When did he start to seduce her? That night in Fontainebleau Resort, he also seduced her easily just because he knew her well!
Tonight he tried to do that again. G.o.d, she wanted to beat him up!
The next day was sunny as expected. It was getting hotter. Lola simply wore a long-sleeved olive long dress.
At the morning conference.
A top manager was transferred here from the headquarters, who shared the same position as Jeremy.
He was said to be highly competent and greatly valued by Harry.
After the meeting, Lola answered a phone from a client and opened her computer when she saw a dismissal email in the inbox.
Joshua was fired! She noticed that the email was sent by Joey with a reason of not working seriously. No more information...
If she guessed right, Joshua was fired by Harry.
She took up the phone and called Joey. "Joey, tell Harry he"s the CEO and he can"t use his position to get even with his employee!" She said straightforwardly.
Hearing that, Joey repeated with what his boss had told him. "Boss said you can go to him directly if you have any objection."
After hanging up the phone, Lola bit her lower lip and went to the floor of CEO office with her phone.
Fine, she would go to him directly. It was in the company. Why would she be scared? But to be honest, she was a little scared...
In the CEO office.
Joey greeted her with a nod. Lola pushed the door open before Joey told her boss was talking with others in the office.
All right. It was too late. Just forgot it. Then Joey went back to his seat to go on working.
Lola was about to call out Harry"s name, but she held her tongue when she saw another two men in the office.
"Sorry. I don"t know you"re busy. I"m sorry to bother you." She apologized in embarra.s.sment, pretending to be calm.
In the office, Harry, Samuel and the new vice-general manager Jim Dang were discussing something. They all looked up at the woman breaking in. Jim was the only one who got surprised. Wasn"t that Miss Li? How dared she break into the CEO office!
He turned to the other two who didn"t look surprised at all. Oh, that was kind of revelation to him.
Harry stared at her and spoke in time to save her from embarra.s.sment. "Jim, I called Miss Li over for a formal introduction. You shall fully cooperate with her in the future!"
Lola finally let out a sigh of relief and regained her nerve as usual. She walked elegantly to them.
"Miss Li, I"m Jim Dang. I"ve got a lot to learn from you!" The fair-skinned seemed to be in his twenties. But he had a rather feminine voice.
Lola shook hands with him with a smile, "My pleasure, Mr. Dang. I"ve heard a lot about you. I have just taken this position. Your help will be appreciated!"
They two talked politely. Having noticed the big smile on Lola"s face, Harry looked displeased.
Samuel saw that clearly. He had suspected whether the woman was truly Harry"s ex-wife before. But now, he was 100% sure!
Four years had pa.s.sed. Why were they entangling with each other again?
"h.e.l.lo, Miss Li!" Samuel stood up to greet Lola. He was curious about what happened between them.
The man, who smiled calmly in a suit, leather shoes and wire-rimmed gla.s.ses, looked familiar to Lola.
"h.e.l.lo, and you are?" She must have seen him before, but she failed to recall who he was at the moment.
They shook hands politely when Samuel introduced himself. "I"m Samuel. I was the attorney of SL Group in D City!"
