Chapter 90 Cancel the Contract
"What"s the matter, Lola?" Joseph was surprised to see how Lola was sitting on the deck, dispirited. How come she was trapped in sorrow when he was absent only for a short while?
"Come on, get up, the deck is cold!" Joseph went to pull the arm of Lola, who groaned out of pain.
"What happened to your arm?" Joseph found that there was something wrong with Lola"s arm.
Lola just shook his head, unable to speak a word. "Let"s go, I"ll take you to the hospital!"
Joseph carried Lola up from the cold deck. Lola, however, suddenly pulled back her weak arm and looked sharply at Joseph.
"Joseph, why do you get close to me and be so nice to me? Do you have the same purpose as they do?" Lola questioned him in a mournful voice, her face expressionless.
Joseph was confused. "What are you saying? What is my purpose?" He looked at Lola, who was in a bad mood. What had just happened...
Lola watched Joseph"s puzzled expression. Well, finally there was someone who did not come to her for that.
With Lola"s consent, Joseph took her to Chengyang Private Hospital.
The examination showed that Lola"s left arm was fractured because of overexertion.
When Lola was discharged from the hospital, Chuck Si was ready to leave work. He was surprised to see the two people leaving the orthopedics department.
Wasn"t that woman the recently famous actress as well as Harry"s wife? Why was she accompanied by another man in hospital late at night?
Chuck entered the orthopedics department and came out two minutes later. He dialed Harry"s phone number. "Harry!"
"Well, what"s up?" There was something wrong with the voice over the phone, but Chuck couldn"t tell what it was.
"How did your wife break her arm? And why she came with another man?"
There was a long silence on the phone. Just as Chuck thought he would not speak, Harry replied, "I"m divorced." Then the phone was hung up.
Bewildered, Chuck looked at the phone that was hung up. Lightning marriage and lightening divorce! What about the promised grand wedding?
Joseph sent the silent Lola to her new home. Looking at Lola"s left arm in plaster, Joseph repeated his proposal.
"You can"t move your left hand in the next two months. I"ll find a housemaid to take care of you."
Sitting on the sofa, Lola shook her head with a dull look in her eyes. How could Joseph not worry about her? He brought the housemaid the next day, in spite of Lola"s refusal.
When Joseph was back home that night, he queried about what had happened when he was not by the side of Lola. Everyone else said that Lola pushed Yolanda into the sea, who was saved by Harry. He pursed his lips as he did not believe that Lola was that kind of person.
The doorbell rang for a long time before Lola opened the door. She was wearing the dress she had on at the party.
It seemed that she had not slept all night. Joseph sighed silently.
"Lola, this is the housemaid I have found for you. Her name is Mandy Ma. She will cook meals for you. I have paid her for three months. You stay home and take care." Joseph went to the kitchen and looked around. Perhaps because she had just moved in, there was nothing at all.
"h.e.l.lo, Miss Li, call me if you need anything!" Mandy was in her thirties, and was plump and kind.
"h.e.l.lo!" Lola forced a smile.
"Mrs. Ma, I"ll take you out to buy something." Joseph opened the door and prepared to walk out. Lola called him and took out a bank card from her handbag. It was all her savings.
She handed it to Joseph. "Take the card."
Joseph didn"t take the card. Instead, he curled his lips and went straight out.
Lola look at the closed door, not in the mood to go after him, so she sat back on the sofa, absent-minded.
Her cell phone rang. It was Mona. "Mona."
"Lola, how could that have happened?" Mona was so anxious that she did not know what to do.
Lola was silent. "Lola, do you know that Harry Si is trying to shut you out of the entertainment circle. No one will work with you any more!"
Lola was still silent. After a long while, she spoke, "Mona, then I will cancel the contract with the company!"
"Your contract expires six months later. The penalty is about two million. You must think it over!" Mona was so agitated that she was like an ant on a hot pan.
Lola calculated that she had made two or three million yuans these months and it would be enough.
"Yeah, I have decided. You help me with the formalities. I will transfer the money to you." Harry"s influence was so great that Lola had no way out if he insisted in expelling her. She thought it better for her to stop struggling and to give up on anything related to him.
After hanging up the phone, she logged in her Weibo and wrote a post: "From today on, I, Lola Li, terminate the labor contract with Raymond Entertainment Company. And I shall quit the entertainment circle. I"d like to thank you for your love and companionship. I"m deeply grateful. Thank you!"
Not long after that, her cell phone rang. It was Thomas Herren. Lola did not answer it.
Then Wendy called and she answered the phone. She told Wendy her address and asked her to come by when she was free.
Finally Zoe called. He seemed to be still in work for he spoke on the phone in a low voice. "Lola, has your Weibo account been hacked or what?"
"No, I posted it by myself." She explained lightly.
"What? What"s wrong with you? You were just fine yesterday." Zoe couldn"t help raising his voice.
"We can talk about it when we meet next time." Lola hung up the phone.
Her cell phone didn"t ring again. n.o.body really care about her now, she thought, except Wendy, Zoe and Joseph, perhaps! Well, she was not alone! That was nice!
In the evening, after Zoe got off work, he drove his motorcycle at full throttle to Lola"s place.
An unacquainted woman opened the door, Zoe took a look at the house number, which was correct! "Hi, does Lola live in here?"
"Mrs. Ma, let him come in, he is my friend!" There came the voice of Lola, which made Zoe feel relieved.
"h.e.l.lo, come in, please." Mandy gave way to Zoe at once.
Lola was having dinner at the dining table. Upon seeing Zoe, she said to Mandy, "Mrs. Ma, please get him a seat!"
"Okay!"
"Lola, what"s going on? You have hired a housemaid?" Zoe sat opposite to Lola, and looked at the two dishes on the table and the porridge in Lola"s bowl. They were definitely not made by herself!
"Actually, it is Joseph Li who has hired for me!" Lola kept stirring the porridge in her bowl. It was getting cold, and she had not taken a sip.
At this time, Mandy brought in a bowl of porridge, placed it in front of Zoe and handed him a large steamed bun. "Thank you!"
"You"re welcome. Enjoy the meal!" Mandy smiled when she put the porridge down and then went to the kitchen.
"Come on, Lola, what happened? And who is Joseph? The big star, Joseph Li?" When did she have anything to do with Joseph?
