Chapter 104

"You'll know what your father looks like when you see him. I'm getting up. You may wait a second,OK?" Lola ran her fingers through her hair and sat up in bed. Well, she felt quite sleepy...

Nicole shook her head and got herself out of bed. She knew her mother was busy and she went to hernanny Mrs. White.

Lola felt relieved when she saw her docile daughter. She was really thoughtful.

Lola remembered that when she was about to wean her daughter, she held the baby and said, "Nicoleis a big girl now. A big girl doesn't drink breast milk." Nicole nodded obediently and she hadn't everdrunk breast milk from then on.

Without breast milk at night, she somehow felt emotionally insecure. She woke up several times anight, but she didn't ask for it.

Lola was greatly touched when her baby neither cried nor protested. Joy welled up in her heart everytime she thought of her daughter. Nicole was truly her sweet heart!

It was almost half past seven after she fed Nicole at breakfast. Lola asked Joseph to take Nicole to thekindergarten first, while she went upstairs to get herself changed.

Joseph seated Nicole in the child car seat and buckled her up. Then he moved onto the driving seatand set off.

Harry was waiting out of the Newman's Manor twenty minutes ahead of time.

He paid little attention when he saw a car coming out. But when the little girl in the back seat smiled athim, his heart rate was skyrocketing.

Though casting one glance, Harry was impressed

By her round face, big black eyes, small mouth and straight teeth. Even he was far apart, he could seethe girl in a pink blouse through the car window. What a cute girl she was!

If Lola hadn't had the induced abortion, his child would have been older than this girl!

He noticed Joseph on the driving seat. Was that girl the goddaughter of Lola? No, it was weird.

Lola came out of the villa and it took her all of ten minutes to reach the gate. It was already twenty-fiveto eight. She was five minutes late.

Harry's car had been waiting at the gate. Lola trotted and opened the car door.

As soon as she got in the car, she sensed that Harry was in a bad mood. With his eyes closed, heleaned back on the seat and looked poker-faced. What he said tensed Lola right away. He saw Nicole?

"I just saw a very cute girl. Is she your goddaughter?"

... She was freaking out! "...Uh, yeah!"

Harry advanced his head close to Lola, "Lola, if you hadn't had the induced abortion, I would be afather now. How could you be so heartless!" He looked gloomy. Thinking of Nicole, Lola didn't even

dare to meet his gaze.

Harry thought she felt guilty because of her past abortion, which dejected him.

"I... I didn't." She opened her mouth, but was unable to give a convincing explanation.

Harry simply glared at her, but said no more then. He started the car and drove towards his company.

In the general manager's office.

Lola patted her chest to calm down. She never expected Harry to see Nicole one day. She even forgotabout that when she asked Joseph to take Nicole to the kindergarten.

Fortunately, Harry wasn't aware that Nicole was his daughter. She must be more careful next time. Shewould never let this happen again.

Before she went off work, she sent the deputy CEO an E-mail to ask for leave. Theron immediatelyforwarded it to the CEO.

When seeing her request for leave, Harry thought of the call she answered in the car last night andgave his approval.

Just then, his phone rang. He hesitated for two seconds when he saw the caller ID, but he still picked itup.

"Harry, you've been away for more than a week! Can I go there for you?" Yolanda spoke through thephone in a soft voice.

"If you don't want to stay in Dreles alone, just go back to Uthana." He stood up, looking at Ascea out ofthe window.

Yolanda was silent for a few seconds before she said, "Harry, it's time to get married! I'm not gettingany younger. Our parents are pushing us to get married. I don't know how to explain to my parents!"

Harry rubbed his aching temples and replied, "I'll wait and see. I just took over the company and I'mrather occupied with it!"

If Rose hadn't threatened him with her life, how would he have got engaged to Yolanda? He no longerloved her. Nor did he want to waste her time. However, Rose thought otherwise.

Yolanda fell silent again. She knew he must be renewing the old romance with Lola! Thinking of that,Yolanda spoke frankly, "Harry, don't forget what that woman did to me in those days. Are you going tomess around with her?"

Her words reminded Harry of what happened four years ago, "No. Lola is a malicious woman. I'm notgoing to be with her."

What he did then was to have his revenge on her. Yes, that was the reason!

At the door of the CEO office, Lola lost hold of the folders in her hands. Metal on the folders touchedthe floor tiles, giving a sharp sound.

Harry turned around. Lola stared at him expressionlessly. He could clearly see the sadness in her eyes.

Sensed his stare, Lola squatted down and hurried to pick the folders up. Then, she hurriedly ran awaywith a mess of folders in her arms and got into the elevator before Harry strode to catch up.

Lola's office was beside the Design Department. When Lola passed the Design Department, everyoneinside looked at each other in confusion.

They were surprised to see the general manager with beads of tears. It had been three years sinceBoss Newman worked in this company. In everyone's heart, she was the Iron Lady, who was calm,elegant, gorgeous and highly competent, as well as the dream lover of many men.

Such an episode created quite a stir in the company when all offices are abuzz with discussions.Besides, Lola didn't show up in the company the following day because she went to Nicole'skindergarten for its activity. Discussions went even more exaggerated.

"Miss Newman must have been crossed in love. Everyone in the Design Department had witnessedtears in her eyes!"

"Yeah. And she didn't even come to work today. Something must be wrong."

"Well, how nice Miss Newman is! How could that jerk cheat on her?"

"You're right. Miss Newman is our Aphrodite! The jerk should go to hell!"

...

Joey, who was just passing by, twitched his mouth. The CEO was taken for a jerk by his subordinates.But that was funny, aha! He couldn't help laughing.

He was so amused that he was still giggling when he returned to his desk.

Unfortunately, the door of CEO office was open. Harry immediately saw that.

"Joey!" Upon hearing the boss calling him, Joey stopped giggling and put on a serious look.

All secretaries were amazed by his sudden change of facial expression!
