No Escape From Mr. CEO's Dangerous Love -
Chapter 200
Chapter 200
Two minutes later, she did replace a golden chain of keys, with which she used to enter the lounge. Theroom was very tidy and the bedding was newly-put. Everything in the room felt so relaxing.
Lola was so tired that she immediately fell into sleep once she was in bed. All the events leading up tothis day had drained all the energy in her.
As a result, she missed all the calls from Harry.
Two o'clock in the morning.
Someone was knocking at the door of the lounge, which was locked from the inside. Already soundasleep, Lola only turned over when she heard the noise and fell asleep again.
"Bang! Bang!" Nagged by the loud combination of the knocking and the ringing of her phone, Lolafinally woke up.
Who would be knocking here so late at night? Was it Harry? She checked the incoming call.
Then she abruptly picked up the call. "Open the door." It was him!
With disheveled hair and confused eyes, Lola looked at the dark shadow of a man outside the door.
"How can I help you, Boss Lewis? It's quite late now, you know." Being woken up from sleep was not apleasant experience. It was something that she never liked.
But Harry found her look of confusion extremely adorable. He couldn't reach her through the phone
repeatedly, so he was worried that she might be in trouble again. The unfortunate happenings theyexperienced had also caused a bit of a trauma in him.
Despite the fact that Sara had been arrested and sentenced to death, the Newman Family was actuallyput at a bigger risk as more people knew about the old pocket watch after the kidnapping. The value ofthe pocket watch had been reported in every channel of the radio and television.
"Nothing. Go back to sleep! I'm very sorry for bothering you." He walked in and sat on the couch. Hisheart ached when he saw Lola throwing herself back to bed. She has been so worn out. He wished hecould have her tiredness and pain so that she would not be feeling exhausted or hurt anymore.
He shouldn't have asked her to be acting CEO in the first place. However, he could still give her ahand. Several competent assistants could be assigned to help her..
Lola forced herself to stay awake and see what Harry would do, but she fell asleep again not beforelong.
When she woke up again, it was already 7 in the morning. Her laptop was on the desk, along withsome folders.
She picked up one of them and found it had been thoroughly examined, and had been marked withdetailed comments of revision and had been carefully approved.
His comments, written in an elegant style, were always right to the point. They revealed all the hiddenrisk and flaws she had not noticed. Harry had given practical suggestions for each of them, whichmeant that it only took Harry few hours to cope with her workload for a whole week...
Was he that good? He even stayed up all night to finish her job. He loved her that much.
When she was about to open the door after tidying up, Joey pushed it open from the outside and slowlywalked in.
He showed Lola the bag in his hand. There were several lunchboxes in it.
"Miss Newman, Boss Lewis just left and he told me to bring you some breakfast! He is so sweet onyou!" Actually, it was a tragic story for Joey. He waited downstairs for the whole night after receivingBoss's call at 2 o'clock in the morning. He had not slept since then.
Lola was stupefied for a moment, and then she nodded. "Thanks, Joey. It's so kind of you! You're sosweet too!"
In the lunchboxes, there were steamed creamy bun, deep-fried dough stick with special spice sauceand preserved egg and minced pork porridge. All looked very warm and appetizing.
"It's my pleasure. I'll see you later then, Miss Newman." Finally! He could go back home and catchsome sleep now!
After Joey left, Lola took the breakfast to the CEO office.
It was early in the morning, so no one was at work yet. She went back to the lounge again, got herlaptop and folders, and cleared the room up.
After the morning briefing, Julie gave Lola a letter of resignation.
Julie was still wearing that enchanting smile as if the letter was not from her.
Lola went through the whole letter and the ultimate reason Julie stated in it was nothing more thansuitability for her job in SL.
"Miss Shaw, is this really why you decided to leave?" Lola put the letter on her desk and looked at Juliewith arms crossed.
Julie was a remarkable manager in spite of her unprofessional flirting nature. If she left, it would be aloss to the management of the company. She was a valuable asset.
"I came here for Boss Lewis, to tell you the truth. But now it seems that he's far from my reach. Andhe's leaving soon, so there's no point in staying here any longer." Sitting opposite Lola, Julie saidbluntly.
Lola smiled. "For Boss Lewis? What a coincidence. We came here for the same reason! However, Ihaven't given up even after four years of waiting. Why are you in a hurry?"
It was true. Lola was planning to make some bold moves after Zoe's funeral. Tit for tat, she would getback at that woman sooner or later. She would not let justice underestimate what that evil of a womanhad done to her.
Yolanda ruined her career in the entertainment industry, so she would not allow her to enjoy the fameand power today. Ultimately, she destroyed her marriage.
All of a sudden, Julie changed the way she was looking at Lola. There was really something special
about her. Despite their differences, she still adored Lola. Simply speaking, they were chasing after asame man. But Lola seemed to be okay with that.
"You really don't mind?" Normally, Lola would kick those rivals out.
"Of course I do. But he's not mine yet. So why should I care? Besides, you are very valuable to thiscompany." Lola laughed, radiant with confidence, like a typical superwoman.
Julie tore the paper up, secretly hoping that Harry would not be so blind to choose Yolanda, thatcunning bitch.
"Miss Newman, pretend that I never show up here today!" Julie stood up. Inspired by Lola's words, shedecided to stay instead.
Lola nodded, stood at the same time and held out her hand. "Miss Shaw, I look forward to yourexcellent performance. I believe you'll have a bright future in SL."
Julie took Lola's hand and found it exceedingly soft. Obviously, Lola was well brought up in a richfamily. "I really appreciate your kindness, Miss Newman! I won't take this opportunity for granted."
Soon afterwards, Julie left the deputy CEO office and threw the paper shreds into the garbage can.
The brilliant sunshine outside the window was just like the smile on Lola's face when she looked atHarry.
It reminded Julie of the men who just came and went in her life. Now she was determined to end thislong time of love affairs and be an elegant, independent and unique woman like Lola!
Julie even wanted to thank Yolanda now. If it were not for her, she wouldn't have come to SL and hadher values changed for the better after learning from people here!
She looked at Lola's office again. Lola, you are going to get him for sure! I hope you do! You're thebetter woman.
About 7 in the evening, Lola grabbed her purse and rushed to the parking lot. She almost forgot thatshe had an important dinner with some high-ranking political figures. These meetings were veryimportant for the promotion of the company.
She called Jordan on the way, and asked him to pick her up around 8 to 9 pm, as he was usually atleisure during night time.
At exactly ten to eight, Lola arrived at Marriott Hotel. When she walked in Private Room 666, a dozenor so people had seated themselves around a round table, and Lola was the last guest.
"Look! Isn't this Miss Newman from SL Group!" A stout man abruptly came to her side to shake handswith Lola.
Lola recognized him. He was Danny Garcia, the CEO of Garcia Holdings Group. She couldn't believeshe would be able to meet him!
At about her father's age, this Mr. Garcia was notoriously lecherous, infamous for his lust for bothgenders and frequent sex scandals. At the same time, he was a cunning businessman and had alreadyachieved a lot of success.
Lola shook hands with him in a routinely manner. When Danny was about to bring up a conversation,she walked away right away to the guest of honor. She did not have any time to waste.
