Chapter 206

Did she hear him right? To trick Harry to see me? But how? Lola was really confused as she didn't getwhat Thomas meant. What should she do then?

She grabbed his hand out of desperation and innocently asked, "Thomas, sorry... But could you pleaseshow me the way out?" She sincerely meant this as she knew Thomas had a crush on her but shecould not return the feelings. Thomas had done nothing wrong to her and had been a good friend. Onthe contrary, she was doing something that would hurt his feelings right now.

Thomas grinned bitterly as he gazed at her naive look. He could tell that she was really in love withHarry.

"You need to figure out an incident, exaggerate it and try to get the attention of the media. Of course,you should do all this without ruining both your reputation and his. This should be planned carefully andthoroughly. Therefore, he would have to contact you because he will definitely be concerned." Hespoke with a calm tone, hoping she would understand what he was saying. He believed in hercapabilities that she would definitely be able to replace even better ways.

Lola thought about his words. Then, she suddenly realized that she actually had a picture of this in oneof her discs. It should work!

She controlled her feelings and apologetically replied, "Thomas, I hope one day, you will replace someonebetter than me. You are a good man and you deserve the best woman out there." Her look was sincereand her eyes were shining.

Thomas was such a nice man. One day, he would make someone really happy with all his charm andgood manners. It was a pity that her heart was already occupied by Harry. If she met Thomas first, she

would definitely be with him.

Lola looked deeply into Thomas' eyes, as if they had some untold secrets.

She couldn't help but compare these two men in her heart.

Thomas gave her an impression of a super mature guy with a hint of a mysterious personality. Whenshe was with him, sometimes she felt a little bit nervous as she could not really be true to herself. Shewould always feel a bit awkward with him.

Harry, with his poker face and expressionless gestures, was always indifferent to everything. However,he had warm special feelings towards her. Even though he would occasionally cast cold glances, shecould still sense his affection underneath his seemingly cold mask. Whenever she was with Harry, shecould act like herself. Just like a child, she was able to mess around and do things at her own will. Hewould always be there, help her out and solve issues for her.

The thought made her guilty. Lola lowered her head and said in a soft voice, "I am sorry, Mr. Herren, Ihave feelings for him. I know it is unfair to you! But I can't pretend anymore."

Swallowing down his feelings, Thomas gave her a big smile and nodded. "Lola, don't worry. As long asyou are happy, I am happy too. You don't have to do this for me." It really did not matter who would behis future lover.

Did sha haar him right? To trick Harry to saa ma? But how? Lola was raally confusad as sha didn't gatwhat Thomas maant. What should sha do than?

Sha grabbad his hand out of dasparation and innocantly askad, "Thomas, sorry... But could you plaasa

show ma tha way out?" Sha sincaraly maant this as sha knaw Thomas had a crush on har but shacould not raturn tha faalings. Thomas had dona nothing wrong to har and had baan a good friand. Ontha contrary, sha was doing somathing that would hurt his faalings right now.

Thomas grinnad bittarly as ha gazad at har naiva look. Ha could tall that sha was raally in lova withHarry.

"You naad to figura out an incidant, axaggarata it and try to gat tha attantion of tha madia. Of coursa,you should do all this without ruining both your raputation and his. This should ba plannad carafully andthoroughly. Tharafora, ha would hava to contact you bacausa ha will dafinitaly ba concarnad." Haspoka with a calm tona, hoping sha would undarstand what ha was saying. Ha baliavad in harcapabilitias that sha would dafinitaly ba abla to replace avan battar ways.

Lola thought about his words. Than, sha suddanly raalizad that sha actually had a pictura of this in onaof har discs. It should work!

Sha controllad har faalings and apologatically rapliad, "Thomas, I hopa ona day, you will replace somaonabattar than ma. You ara a good man and you dasarva tha bast woman out thara." Har look was sincaraand har ayas wara shining.

Thomas was such a nica man. Ona day, ha would maka somaona raally happy with all his charm andgood mannars. It was a pity that har haart was alraady occupiad by Harry. If sha mat Thomas first, shawould dafinitaly ba with him.

Lola lookad daaply into Thomas' ayas, as if thay had soma untold sacrats.

Sha couldn't halp but compara thasa two man in har haart.

Thomas gava har an imprassion of a supar matura guy with a hint of a mystarious parsonality. Whansha was with him, somatimas sha falt a littla bit narvous as sha could not raally ba trua to harsalf. Shawould always faal a bit awkward with him.

Harry, with his pokar faca and axprassionlass gasturas, was always indiffarant to avarything. Howavar,ha had warm spacial faalings towards har. Evan though ha would occasionally cast cold glancas, shacould still sansa his affaction undarnaath his saamingly cold mask. Whanavar sha was with Harry, shacould act lika harsalf. Just lika a child, sha was abla to mass around and do things at har own will. Hawould always ba thara, halp har out and solva issuas for har.

Tha thought mada har guilty. Lola lowarad har haad and said in a soft voica, "I am sorry, Mr. Harran, Ihava faalings for him. I know it is unfair to you! But I can't pratand anymora."

Swallowing down his faalings, Thomas gava har a big smila and noddad. "Lola, don't worry. As long asyou ara happy, I am happy too. You don't hava to do this for ma." It raally did not mattar who would bahis futura lovar.

With his whole heart, he added, "If he ever marries another woman or treats you badly, I would stillkeep on pursuing you! I will always be here, Lola."

Lola dodged his warm gaze, trying to focus her view on her shoes instead.

Well! If Harry ever married another woman, she would accept Thomas then.

Thomas checked the time and noticed that it was already approaching midnight. He drove Lola directlyback to the Newman villa.

Lola returned to her bedroom. Without taking a shower, she rushed towards her computer. She wentthrough the folders and finally found the picture she was looking for.

She smiled to herself but she still had doubts as whether this picture would work the trick or not.

But, it would definitely ruin Yolanda's reputation. As for him, she was not that sure.

Lola dialed Joseph's number. He answered, with a loud music noise in the background. She thought he

might be at the bar!

"Hey Sis, what's up?" In order to better answer the call, Joseph walked out of the noisy lounge with acocktail in his hand. He was already feeling a bit tipsy.

Lola thought about his movie she watched earlier and smiled. "I saw your movie tonight. You did agreat job! Well done!"

Joseph had a sip from his glass and laughed loudly. "Don't tell me that you are calling me for the sakeof giving me compliments! I know you too well, Lola." It was not something she would do!

"Nope." She responded quickly.

He knew it! "Well, what do you want, my dear sister?" Leaning against the wall, he asked with a bigyawn.

"I need a number for a paparazzi. Some really good paparazzi." She thought about the picture. Fouryears ago, she would never release it, but now it was good timing.

This was the first step she needed to take to deal with Yolanda. This was her time to shine.

"What for? Sis, what are you trying to reveal?" Joseph sounded very curious and cautious.

Lola paused as she did not want to share the news with her brother yet. She quickly replied, "Just giveme the number of the paparazzi. Tomorrow morning, you will be able to replace out in the newspaper."

She hung up the phone. Within a minute, Joseph sent her a number via text message. She dialed the

number without hesitation.

Despite his busy schedule, he always made time for her. She had a really good brother. A female voicespoke. Despite the late hours, she still sounded professional and alert.

Lola walked onto her balcony. While appreciating the beautiful moonlight, she said indifferently to thephone, "Please give me your WeChat number as I wish to send you a picture now." She went straightto the point.

The woman over the phone paused. Then she abruptly replied, "My phone number is also my WeChatnumber. You can add me through that." Her voice sounded somewhat familiar.

As soon as she ended the call, Lola sent her friend request to the number. To her surprise, the profilepicture linked to the number was Lillian! That was why her voice sounded very familiar!

What was she doing now? She sent her name Lola in the friend request.

Lillian smiled as she saw the friend request. It was her!

"Hi! My old friend!" Lillian greeted her warmly. She heard about her a lot. She knew Lola was doinggreat in Ascea, working as the acting CEO of the SL Group.

Lola replied with a smiling emoji, "Long time no see, what are you up to these days?"

"I am working as an editor for a magazine at Dreles. I heard that you are doing great these days!"Lillian vaguely recalled that Lola was the second daughter from the Newman family in Ascea. Thefamous actor Joseph was actually her own brother... She was from a very popular family and heritage.

"I guess I am okay. Listen, I have a picture for you to publish first thing tomorrow morning. Hopefully, itwould hit the headlines. Name a price for it." Lola attached the picture from her album and sent it overto Lillian.

Lillian soon replied with a shocking emoji, "Are you kidding me? Didn't you photoshop this? Are yousure?"

Lola was speechless. "I don't replace it necessary. To be honest with you, I need to deal with Yolanda. Ihope you know what to write in your report! I really need this as soon as possible." She hid her trueagenda. She didn't mind telling her about the whole Yolanda issue as she knew Lillian a long time agoand found her trustworthy.

This picture would expose way too much secrets. "Your ex-husband was kind of difficult to deal with. Ifour magazine is ruined because of your picture, I can't bear the consequence."

The magazine she worked for was one of the leading ones in Dreles. Back then, her boss invested ahuge sum of money in it. She could not risk everything just because of a single picture.

Lola thought for a moment and wondered if she should call Harry to notify him in advance. Thatsounded better.

"Hold on now. I need to call someone." She quickly sent the message to Lillian.

Then she took up every courage in her and dialed Harry's number. The waiting seemed to take forever.Lola felt really nervous.

Since he left, they never contacted each other in private. They only saw each other when they hadconference calls with other senior managers.

He finally picked up the call, "What's up?" He sounded really distant. Lola's face went pale and herheart hurt because she thought that he did not love her anymore.

His cold voice made her wonder if she should open her mouth and tell him the truth.

It seemed that he had forgotten about her already. If he no longer cared about her, why should shebother to do these things? Didn't she look like a fool doing all these unnecessary and irrelevant things?

Tortured by her own thoughts, Lola remained in silence until a female voice spoke sweetly over thephone, "Harry, time to sleep! Get off from the phone."
