Chapter 58

Hardly had Yolanda got her plan started when Harry and Lola had a quarrel. Yolanda thought if shecontinued her tricks, they definitely would break up. A marriage without love should not be maintained,Lola!

Lola went to a breakfast shop by motorcycle to grab a bite, and then rode to work.

When it was time to have a lunch break, Lola had not finished her work. So she decided to have lunchlater. All of her workmates in the department had left.

At this moment, a man who she hadn't seen before came in. "Miss Newman, the manager needs theformula that Supervisor Heidi wrote this morning. She needs it now."

"Who are you?" Lola looked at the stranger, feeling confused.

"Oh, I am new here. My name is Justin Warren." Lola nodded without a doubt and went to the researchlab.

According to company's regulations, without the permission of the department manager, no one shallhave access to the research lab alone except the formulators. Before Lola entered the lab, she wantedto ask Justin whether he needed anything else.

But when she turned around, Justin had gone and couldn't be found anywhere. "Well, it should be ok ifI take the formula out as soon as possible!" thought Lola.

Lola went in, found the formula Heidi wrote this morning and took it out.

After coming out, she found Justin waiting at the exit and trotted to him. "What are you doing here?Should I hand the formula to the manager or leave it to you?"

"Oh, I just wanna have a smoke here. Leave it to me. Get your things done first!" Justin raised the half-smoked cigarette in his hand, ready to leave with the formula.

"H'm, well, I get going." Without thinking much, Lola went back to her seat. But she felt a little hungrysoon. So she simply tidied up the desk and left for lunch.

After she came out of the elevator on the first floor, Justin emerged suddenly from nowhere, andwalked side by side with her.

"Miss Newman, are you going to have lunch?" Justin asked with a smile.

"Yes. You have delivered the formula to the manager?" Lola saw nothing in his hands and thought hehad handed it in.

"Yes. Lunch together?" Justin touched something hidden in his pocket on the sly, with a guiltyconscience.

To have lunch with a man she didn't know? She didn't think it was a good idea. "Sorry, I have made anappointment. Excuse me." Justin disappointedly parted Lola at the gate of the company.

Lola smiled and went to lunch by herself. She didn't sense that something was wrong.

After two o'clock in the afternoon.

Heidi opened the door of the lab from inside. With her eyes running down the office, Heidi snapped,"Who entered my lab today?"

After hearing that, Lola, who was printing materials at the moment, lifted her hand, "It's me, themanager asked Justin to fetch the formula you wrote in the morning."

"Justin?" Heidi gave a dubious look at Lola's innocent face, "Who's Justin?"

"He's the new employee, you don't know him?" Lola had a bad feeling…

Heidi asked Lola to go to the manager's office together. The new manager was a woman, named HelenHamilton, who had been working in the company for many years. She was also confused after learningwhat happened, "I didn't ask anyone to fetch the formula!"

The two women both looked towards Lola. She suddenly got a nasty shock. At this time, anotherformulator Mia Vance shouted loudly, "Who had been to the lab and moved my stuff?"

Helen, Heidi and Lola went out of the office in a hurry, and found Mia angrily hurl questions at theothers.

"Apart from formulators, who the hell had been to the lab and moved my stuff?" Mia asked loudly again.

"I had been there, but I didn't move anything." Lola replied, which attracted the attention of all theothers.

Lola followed Helen and Heidi to see what happened in the lab. She was completely dumbfounded bythe sight. All formulas on Mia's laboratory bench were in a mess and became illegible. What's worse, alot of plant extract were mixed in a bottle.

Heidi lost her formula, and Mia's laboratory bench was in a mess. Lola was taken as the only suspect.

That was really serious. The lost formula could result in great loss of orders, let alone the laboratorybench in a mess, which would cause innumerable losses. Lola still felt perplexed. Helen had phonedJoey to report the whole thing.

After a short while, they all were called over by the CEO to the meeting room.

When Lola went into the meeting room, Harry was watching the surveillance video that Joey presented.Lola turned out to be the only one who went into the lab during the lunch break. Worst of all, sheglanced around the office watchfully before entering the lab, as if she was afraid of being found out.

When she came out, there was a piece of paper in her hand, and then, she went to the exit at the deadspot.

Another video showed Lola went out of the company with a man. Harry knew that man - a formulator ofa peer group.

As the video played, Harry turned ghastlier and ghastlier, while the others dared not utter a word.

When the video was over, Harry stared at Lola, "How do you know Jack Rane?"

Lola was confused, "Who's Jack Rane?"

Harry scrutinized her face, turned the laptop around by a hand, and pointed to the man on the screen.

"Is he Justin, a new employee?" Lola looked at the man in the video who left the company with hertogether, and still could not figure out what happened.

"Miss Newman, you are CEO's wife, how could you help our competitor to do that?" Mia blamed Lolafuriously for she had destroyed all her efforts.

"I didn't!" Lola got heated. She was trapped by someone who she didn't know.

"I'll investigate it. Go back to your work. Lola stays here." Harry ordered lightly, with his forehead restingon the right hand.

Once they all left the room, Lola explained anxiously, "I didn't know him, and did nothing to Mia'slaboratory bench."

"So, he asked you to fetch an important formula, and you followed what he said even though you didn'tknow him, right?" What he said hit home.

"He said he was a new employee, and the manager asked him to get the formula. I didn't doubt him…"Lola answered in a low voice. She finally knew she fell into a trap.

How to prove her innocence now? She must replace that guy. "I'm going to replace Jack. He can prove myinnocence."

"Joey had called him. He'll be here soon. I'm waiting for your explanation." Harry looked at Lola with acold gaze, which seemed to be strange. Lola could hardly stand it.
