"Discuss with your CEO? Then why are you here?" asked Yolanda rudely.
Lola smiled. Her good accomplishment and quality stopped her from slapping on Yolanda"s stupid face. "Sorry. My duty today is just to watch you sign. The schedule is up to our general manager."
"Then I"m not signing it!" Yolanda threw the contract onto the table indifferently and started to check her phone.
Lola looked more indifferent. Yolanda wasn"t the only female artist! "I don"t care if you sign it or not. You"re not the only superstar in the entertainment circle. Mr. Si shall make the decision! Bye!" If Lola stayed there another minute, she couldn"t help slapping on that stupid face.
Lola stood up and headed for the door without saying any more.
Yolanda stared at her from behind, "You can leave now, but I"ll complain about the rude and unprofessional att.i.tude of the deputy CEO of SL Group." Hearing her threat, Lola said whatever and then left the hotel.
Yolanda was left alone in great hatred. "It had been years since we last met. But Lola was still an annoying b.i.t.c.h as before." Yolanda thought.
Yolanda asked Nael to contact SL Group and complain about Lola as what she just said.
It was the first time that the After-sales Department had received a complaint about the deputy CEO. So the After-sales Manager reported it directly to Julie Tan. Julie Tan stared at the ridiculous complaint sheet. How irritable Yolanda was! Julie Tan went directly to the CEO office with the complaint sheet and showed it to Harry.
Harry simply nodded and asked her to leave.
When Lola went back to the company in the afternoon, she was notified that two designated endorsers would come to the meeting room to discuss the rough plan with the CEO and deputy CEO on tomorrow"s morning briefing.
Lola gave a cold look at the notice and closed it.
Yolanda, well, bring it on! Lola got ready!
At 7 pm.
Lola and Thomas reached a western restaurant. Lola was curious to see the empty restaurant.
Thomas smiled as if he had seen her through. "I have booked the whole restaurant tonight. No one else is coming."
That made sense. He was the president, anyway. The media would definitely report it if he was found having dinner with a woman.
Lola chose a window seat and ordered a well-done steak, a seafood pizza and a cup of fresh juice before she gave the menu to Thomas opposite her.
Thomas ordered a spaghetti and an Australian medium well steak. Then he asked the waiter to fill their gla.s.ses with red wine. They clinked gla.s.ses and took a sip.
"Bring Nicole together next time. We can go out on weekend!" He took a sip gracefully and stared at Lola across the table.
Lola nodded slightly, "I"m always too busy to take her out for fun. But I will some other day!"
Lola took another sip when she noticed the Maybach at the roadside. She frowned slightly when Yolanda got out of the Maybach in arm with Harry.
Harry met her gaze then. Noticing the man opposite to her, he stopped.
He got back into the Maybach with Yolanda who was still in confusion. "What"s wrong, Harry?" asked her gently.
"Nothing. I just don"t want to have western food." He held the steering wheel so tightly that the blue veins stood out, trying to hold back anger.
In the western restaurant.
Lola watched the Maybach pull away and talked to Thomas Herren with embarra.s.sment. "Mr. Herren, I"m afraid I"ll let you down!"
Thomas"s smile was replaced with grief. "Lola, don"t hurry to refuse me! You still have a lot of time before our agreement!"
Lola twirled the gla.s.s, "Thanks for your love, but I can"t give you anything."
The chef served the steak himself, which interrupted their conversation.
Thomas cut the steak for Lola before cutting his own one.
It was embarra.s.sing to have dinner with someone she didn"t love. Lola ate the steak, but found it tasteless.
Thomas stared at her, "I"ll be busy. You have a lot time to think it over."
Lola paused and then nodded. Well, just let nature take its course. "You should work hard for our country. Never think about the resignation, or I"ll look down on you."
Lola pretended a scornful look, which amused Thomas.
"All I want is to be with you, my beloved girl." He stopped smiling and stared at her seriously. It was the first time that Thomas had been willing to give up everything for a woman.
Hearing that, Lola put down her knife and fork, "Have you ever considered my feelings? If you give up a country for me, a country that you love and that loves you, I will be under a lot of pressure. And I"m not going to be happy with so much pressure. Got it?" This man sometimes behaved like a child!
Thomas thought it over. He kept what she said in his mind and nodded, "I will not do that."
After dinner, Thomas drove Lola back home.
"I"m happy today. I gotta go. Bye." He wrapped Lola"s coat closely about her.
"Okay. Drive carefully." She waved to him.
After Thomas then turned the car around and left, her phone rang. She took it out of her bag. It was from Harry! She didn"t want to answer it.
The phone kept ringing. She had no choice but to press the Answer key.
"Come over!" She got confused.
"Look back." added him. Lola looked back and saw a car with the light on not far away. It was him, she guessed.
She walked to the car subconsciously. She was very close to it even before she realized.
Why was she approaching him unconsciously? Lola hang up the phone and turned back towards the Li"s manor quickly.
Noticing that, the man got out of the car in a hurry and ran to her. Hearing the footsteps behind, Lola sped up. So did the man.
It was not long before he caught up with her and slipped his arm around her waist tightly from behind.
He lifted her up by her waist. The startled Lola soon put her arms around his neck tightly.
He put her into the back seat, moved to the driving seat and drove away.
"Where are we going?" Lola calmly stare at the man who was driving in the front seat.
He ignored her question, turned the steering wheel and pulled off the road. There was no street light. It was dark outside, perfect for love affair.
He got out of the car, opened the door of the back seat and rode her.
