Chapter 345

She learned now that she was actually forced to become this company's boss.

Harry had left for three days, leaving no information about his coming back. He had promised to nevergive up on her. But why did he break his promise, just several days later?

Lola snickered, "Indeed, boys will be boys. Their words can never be trusted."

"... There will be an international coffee contest next week in Uthana. Many coffee manufacturers willattend from all around the world. The organizing committee has sent you an invitation. Will youparticipate?" The shop manager had asked Lola just as Joey had instructed him to.

'International coffee contest? In Uthana?'

"Where exactly is the location?" She asked calmly.

"The venue is said to be at the International Friendship and Culture Center in the New District."

'New District? It is not far away from the mansion. Should I go or not?' pondered Lola.

But after a while, Lola nodded a yes. That was too good of an opportunity to miss.

After that, the manager returned to the coffee shop and called and reported to Harry the whole story.

Hearing of her consent, Harry smirked; he hadn't sponsored the contest for nothing after all.

After hanging up the manager's call, he dialed her number.

Seeing who the caller's ID was, Lola somehow felt a little bit nervous.

But when the phone rang for another third time, she answered it.

This time Lola went silent. "Lola, the SL Group will host its anniversary in Ascea the day aftertomorrow. Can I invite you to attend the ceremony?"

She heard Harry's deep voice coming from the phone's speaker.

Indeed, the company's anniversary was just around the corner. In the past four years, she had alwaysattended its anniversary, every year with a new identity.

She missed the days in the SL so much. If it weren't for Harry, she would have never left there.

But what about this year? He invited her to join, but with what identity? And it seemed she was in noposition to attend the ceremony any longer.

"No, I couldn't. I no longer work in the SL." There was nothing she had to do with the SL now.

Harry smiled. How could she have forgotten all about the betrothal gift he had given to her? "With a20% share in the SL, you are a major shareholder. So you technically still work in the SL."

When she heard this, Lola was quite surprised. She had given back the document and rejected hisfavor. How come she was still a shareholder?

"I've returned that document to you..."

"Yes, you have. But before you did that, I had already made you a shareholder." He put a cigarette inmouth and then lit it.

Hearing the lighter's crack, she frowned. 'He must be smoking again, ' she thought.

After this, she said in a harsh and cold tone, "Boss Lewis, I can't stop you from smoking outside. But Ihope you can refrain from smoking when Nicole is around you..." Nicole was too young to be exposedto Harry's cigarette smoke.

A big smile crept on Harry's face. Dragging a long puff, he then stubbed the cigarette. "I am all yours.You can interfere in all of my businesses, as long as you want to." She gave him orders, and thatsounded great.

... Lola became speechless.

"About the anniversary, I... I will not be present there. Goodbye, Mr. Lewis." On the other side, shedidn't want to hear any gossips.

Because of Harry, her reputation was basically in tatters now.

"Don't hang up!" Harry's worried and swift order made her pause just in time.

Was he being hard on her? Suddenly, Lola felt uneasy.

"Boss Lewis, is this the right attitude for a pursuer?" She didn't know why she had asked such a sillyquestion.

Harry giggled, making Lola blush on the other end of the line. She then realized that her wordssounded as if she already had said yes to his court.

"Sorry. I will never be hard on you, ever!" He would talk sweet to her, as long as she wanted.

Lola tapped her flushed cheeks, thinking that they were just talking about the anniversary before, andnow they came to touch on another, different, topic.

"No, I'm good, Boss Lewis. Goodbye!" Without even waiting for Harry's reply, she hung up the phoneimmediately.

Lola looked at the blooming flowers outside in the park. Why did her cheeks flush and heart racewhenever she met with him? Did she still love him? No, she couldn't. She said to herself, 'Lola youcan't forget what happened before.'

Then she remembered how he tormented her until she became so heartbroken that she jumped for herdeath...

The Wechat app beeped with a new message. She opened it and saw that the sender was Harry.

"Be prepared. You will attend the anniversary as my date."

... She texted him back quickly, "Boss Lewis, I can't accept your invitation for the anniversary."

"The decision comes unilaterally." His words seemed so magic, and he couldn't take no for an answer.So, Lola naturally replied, "Okay."

Shocked about her reply, Lola hurriedly clicked on the cancel button.

But it was already too late, and Harry texted back, "I've already seen your reply. Wait for me, I'll pickyou up, my queen." Harry smiled from ear to ear.

He now could be sure that she still loved him. And he had to move even faster to get back with hersoon.

Nicole was his little princess, but Lola was his girl, his queen. All his happiness came from her.

Lola on the other side almost collapsed on her chair, blaming herself for not being able to reject him.

'I must be a masochist, ' she thought.

An SL invitation letter for their anniversary was too valuable to be bought with money.

Normally, the invitation was sent to the SL's executives, exceptional employees, and to some otherpartnering companies.

On the day of the anniversary, Lola was sitting with Nicole inside the LN coffee shop, browsing the hottopics on Weibo.

It wasn't long until the news of the upcoming SL anniversary ceremony trended as the second mosttalked about headline on Weibo.

Over the past several years, Harry had seldom appeared in public. But in the last year, he had stayedin Ascea. So this year, the question whether Harry would attend the ceremony, became another hottopic.

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, Lola was filled with both nervousness and expectation. As thenight came closer and closer, the feelings grew more and more intense inside her.

Would he come? The clock showed that it was almost five. Maybe he wouldn't?

While she was pondering, the glass door of the shop opened, and Harry walked inside; she was justthinking about him.

"Hello!" The shop's assistants greeted Harry with excitement. He was rumored to be courting theirboss, Lola; that was all what the staff was gossiping about.

When Harry showed up at the door, Lola noticed him instantly.

While he was approaching her, Lola's heart raced faster and faster. She closed her eyes while stillsitting in the chair and pretended she didn't notice him.

Seeing that Lola wasn't paying attention, he put on his exclusive smile, which was just for her, and heldher up from the chair.

His gentleness had already mesmerized a lot of female customers in the shop.

"He is so handsome!" "Indeed, coming here actually offers us a chance to see Harry."

"Right. I didn't wait here in vain for several days after all."

"I have to hurry and take a picture of him! Oh my god, what a rare opportunity! Is he really smiling? Heis so bloody handsome!"
