"In case of any difficulty, come to me. That is a final decision. Joey will send you Yolanda"s hotel address, and that"s it! We can finish there!" Hearing Harry"s overbearing words, Lola bit her lower lip.
After the executives left the conference room, Lola received an address on her cell phone.
She turned off her cell phone and held it in her hand tightly, sulking.
If she had been a junior employee, she would have refused to go. But as the deputy CEO of the company, she could think over everything she said and did. Lola was depressed at the thought of the negotiation with Yolanda.
Harry really treated her as a subordinate recently. Such being the case, she couldn"t annoy that woman by showing her love with Harry. She needed to think of numerous plans to get back at that woman!
Upset, she walked out of the conference room towards her office.
As soon as she got off the elevator, a flower deliverer stopped her, holding a large bouquet of roses. "Are you Miss Lola Li?"
Lola saw the colleagues from the Public Relations Department cast their envious gaze on her. She nodded with embarra.s.sment. "h.e.l.lo, this is for you. Please sign for it."
She quickly signed her name and took the bouquet, wondering who sent it.
The flower deliverer pressed the elevator b.u.t.ton and left. In the elevator, a tall man caught sight of the blushed Lola holding the large bouquet of roses.
Lola met his gaze and immediately turned back towards the office with the bouquet in her arms.
Only Harry, Joey and the flower deliverer were in the elevator.
After throwing a glance at his boss, who was odd recently, Joey couldn"t help but ask the flower deliverer, "Dude, who sent that flower to Miss Li?"
"I don"t know the name, but it must be a man!" The flower deliverer gave a look at the man that was standing silently next to him. He looked so powerful and stern. Did he just return from the glaciers?
When he finished his words, he felt stronger pressure from the man. Scared, he ran out of SL Group in one breath as soon as the elevator opened.
When Lola returned to her office, she found a card in the bouquet, which read: "May your smile bloom like a red rose. T.H." Looking at the acronym, she knew immediately who sent the flower.
She was surprised that the president could be so romantic.
That night, Lola persuaded Joseph to endorse for the company. Her younger brother was so obedient that he would accept whatever she asked!
The next day, she came to the company for a meeting before visiting Miss Mo.
However, the moment she entered the company, she saw the young fellow who delivered flowers yesterday carried a big bouquet of roses. Seeing her, he immediately ran over. The whole company soon knew that someone was madly pursuing their deputy CEO!
What"s worse, Lola saw Harry after accepting the bouquet and turning around.
Pretending not to notice him, she went into the elevator with the bouquet.
The man came into the elevator before it was closed. Lola cursed her bad luck.
In dread of the domineering man, Lola took a few steps back. It was so embarra.s.sing. She had to call Thomas when she got back to her office!
Before she stepped out of the elevator, she heard the man say, "If this kind of thing happened in the company again, you would have to make a self-criticism in front of all the staff."
The elevator door was closed automatically...
"What the h.e.l.l!" she thought to herself.
Watching the elevator going up, Lola really wanted to ask him: "Does that have anything to do with you? Why don"t you also send your fiancee flowers?"
Depressed, Lola walked back to her office holding the bouquet. How should she persuade Thomas not to send flowers again? While Lola was preparing for the meeting with a scowl, her phone rang.
She took a look at the screen and saw the name of the person that she wanted to call!
"Do you like the flowers?" His soft voice came over the phone.
"Well... Don"t do that again. I"m an executive of the company. It"s inappropriate." She tried to speak in a mild tone. The man smiled.
"I won"t do that if you don"t like it. Let"s have dinner together tonight!" It was unusual that the man could take time out to have dinner with her.
Lola thought for a moment and said, "Tonight, it"s okay, I guess!" If Yolanda wouldn"t pick on her, she could make it to dinner.
"Well, call me when you"re off work. I"ll be waiting." After hanging up, Lola realized that she seemed to agree to have dinner with Thomas!
All right! Since Harry was so inaccessible, she would not refuse Thomas again and again!
Holding the doc.u.ments for the meeting, she walked into the conference room.
Harry was still the last to arrive. He briefly mentioned some notes and declared the meeting over.
The lightning-fast meeting speed was a feature of Harry. The meetings held by previous CEOs always lasted for twenty minutes to half an hour. Harry, however, usually finished morning meetings in less than five minutes, except on Fridays.
Lola took a taxi to the hotel where Yolanda was staying at. As her car had basically been sc.r.a.pped, she would have to make time to buy another one.
At Wistaria Five Star Hotel.
She knocked on the door of Room 3306. Nael Shu, Yolanda"s a.s.sistant, came to open the door.
"h.e.l.lo, I"m the deputy CEO of SL Group. I"ve come to talk about the endors.e.m.e.nt with Miss Mo." She simply explained her intention. Actually, Nael knew it already.
Nael gave her a long hard stare and walked back into the room without greeting her. Lola followed him.
In the room, the dresser was applying makeup for Yolanda. Seeing Lola in the mirror, Yolanda didn"t expose her surprise but put on a complacent smile.
"Miss Li, you should wait for a while. It may take a long time to put on makeup." Nael made it clear to Lola. Even so, Lola waited more than three hours while playing with her cell phone on the sofa. Her phone was running out of battery. Finally, Yolanda walked up to her as if she was a G.o.ddess.
"Long time no see, Miss Li." Yolanda sat opposite her elegantly.
A few years had pa.s.sed by, Yolanda"s eyes were slightly wrinkled. Had she been too busy with her career?
"If we don"t have to see each other ever again, that"s the best!" said Lola indifferently. She pulled out the contract she brought and put them in front of Yolanda.
Yolanda smiled and leafed through the contract. After a while, she said, "I"m not happy with my commission. And the schedule is too tight. I don"t have so much time."
Lola took a look at her. "Your commission is in line with the market price. As for the schedule, you can go to the company and discuss with our CEO."
