Chapter 149

Lola collected her thoughts and said to Angie, who was very concerned, "Mother, I told him that Nicoleis my child with Thomas. I have no idea why I said so. Am I pushing him away?"

Lola was deeply confused, so she could not help but speak her mind to Angie.

Angie and Harold looked at each other, and then Harold went upstairs quietly with a frown.

Angie let Lola sit with her on the sofa. "Why did you choose to work for SL in the first place?" Thequestion was right to the point.

It reminded Lola of her original motivation. Yes, that was because she wanted to see Harry again.

"You still love him, but you know that he can't give you what you want. On the contrary, PresidentHerren comes to you in the right place at the right time. He can give you what you want. That's why youare confused." Angie's words punched Lola's heart. It was true, but what should she do then?

Angie seemed to perceive Lola's unspoken question, "To be honest, they are both very decent youngmen. Normally, Nicole should not be parted with her biological father. But considering all theentanglements and intricacy in your relationship, it might be better to let it be in case you and Nicoleget hurt again. Whatever will be will be. If he is not meant to be with you, your efforts won't make anydifference. Time will give the final answer."

These words gave Lola much comfort and helped her decide that her priority now was Nicole. As forHarry, she would leave it at God's disposal.

She would fight for whatever belonged to her, but she would not push herself too hard for what didn't.

As for Thomas, she had two months to consider their relationship, hadn't she?

If it finally worked out between she and Harry, she would tell Thomas not to wait for her in advance.

...

Lola put Nicole on her own bed and cuddled her tightly.

Nicole was the person she cherished the most in her life. She would not allow anybody to take heraway. Anybody!

It became a sleepless night for her.

The next day, Lola sighed at the dark circles under her eyes and put on light makeup before leaving forcompany.

At the morning briefing. When Lola walked into the meeting room with a professional smile, everyonewas present except Harry.

Given the busy schedule, CEO didn't have to attend every briefing, but Harry had always shown up.Today, however, Harry had been late for 10 minutes. Maybe he would skip this one.

Lola made some quick adjustment and started to preside over the meeting.

When the meeting was about to end, the door was suddenly opened. Harry, dressed in suits, strode in,

with more intimidating manner.

The bruise at the corner of his mouth surprised everyone. What happened to him?

Without even looking at anyone, Harry opened a folder. "I'll be in charge of the cooperation withDawson today. Miss Shaw, get the materials prepared and go with me. Besides, the DesignDepartment will now be in the charge of Miss Shaw as well. Jeremy, consult with Miss Shaw if needed.Over!"

What the hell! He just transferred a very competent staff from her!

Other people followed Harry and left the meeting room. Only Lola was left pondering.

The negotiation with Dawson was her task, but now Harry took it over. Was he planning to make her amere figurehead?

Lola shook her head and decided to wait and see.

On her way back to office, she saw Harry and Julie reading from a folder and discussing.

Lola passed by them without a word, pretending to read her own files.

Meanwhile she heard Julie talking in her coquettish voice. "Boss Lewis, how did you get hurt?"

... A bitter smile curved Lola's lips at the thought.

Such a flirty man!

Lola started to immerse herself in work immediately after she was back in office, so that she would notthink about all the mess.

After Joey knocked at the door and went in, Harry only took a quick look at him and then continued towork.

"Boss Lewis, I just got the call from the police." Harry recalled the incident that night, so he let Joeycontinue.

Joey wiped away his cold sweat. "All the gangsters were killed except one in coma..."

People behind this must be quite powerful since they could do away with the suspects in jail. So thatonly survivor was the last witness.

"I see. Keep me informed!" Then Harry just went back to his work.

The idea that Lola might have manipulated this flashed across his mind, but he soon dispelled thethought.

Lola had been dedicating herself to work recently. Her busy schedule left her no time to think of Harry,other than the morning briefing when she had to meet him.

At the morning briefing.

Harry walked into the meeting room and started the meeting at once. "The former endorser is notqualified. I need a replacement! Yolanda and Joseph, the popular 'screen couple' nowadays, will be

appropriate. But Joseph hasn't signed contracts with any entertainment company yet, so MissNewman, you go negotiate with him."

Lola went blank the moment her name was mentioned. She looked at Harry and wonder why he justcalled her name.

Oh wait, he asked her to talk with Joseph about the endorsement. "No problem!' She respondeddecidedly.

"As for Yolanda..." Before Harry finished his speech, Julie cut in. "Yolanda is your fiancee, right? Shewill not disagree." Then she covered her mouth and laughed.

Julie's words aroused many discussions. Although many of them knew about the relationship betweenHarry and Yolanda, it was still surprising to hear someone bringing it up.

Only Lola, expressionless, was writing something there, as if it had nothing to do with her.

Harry gave Julie a quick glance and looked at Lola. "Yolanda will arrive in Ascea tomorrow. MissNewman will also be in charge of this."

He asked her to negotiate with Yolanda? Lola wondered if she could restrain revealing that hypocriticalbitch.

"Boss Lewis, I'm afraid I can't." Those executives around all gasped. How dare she object to CEO'sorder?

"Yes, you can. Hand over what you are busy with to Miss Shaw, and focus on the endorsement." Harry

didn't give her any chance to say no.

"I have been working on two important projects for half a month. It won't be easy to hand over them toMiss Shaw right now. Please reconsider, Boss Lewis. And as for the cooperation with Joseph, Ipromise it will go on smoothly." Others were amazed at Lola's apparent anger, as Lola rarely lost hertemper. She was angry, because he not only asked her to negotiate with Yolanda, but also ignored allher endeavors on the two projects and took them away from her all of a sudden.
