Chapter 97

Four years. They had been engaged for four years! Harry delayed the wedding again and again nomatter how their families urged him.

At that moment, Yolanda realized Harry had never forgotten that woman.

She clenched her fists. "Then let that woman disappear for good." she sneered.

Lola was called over to the conference room for an emergency management meeting the second aftershe arrived at the company by the deputy CEO Theron Bentley.

Seeing all executives were present, Theron went straight to the point, "The CEO of SL Group, our bigBoss, Harry Lewis is coming to take over the company as CEO. Please get yourself ready.

He looked round the whole meeting room and added, "I have seen Boss Lewis twice. He is demandingand hard to get along with. His cold eyes and poker face can freeze you even miles away. So you'dbetter be on the ball after his arrival!" Seeing all people displaying a terrified look after hearing hiswords, he smirked.

"When will him take office?" A manager raised a question which all the others concerned. They were allwondering how many peaceful days left.

"Very soon. Boss Lewis is handing over his work in Dreles. According to his high work efficiency, I thinkhe will arrive here within three days!" Speaking of that, he was thinking was there anything he didn't dowell in. If so, he needed to make up for it as soon as possible.

"Miss Newman!" Theron called Lola who kept silent throughout and looked distracted. "Yes, Mr.

Bentley."

"Prepare a banquet to welcome our CEO. All people here will attend. Get moving." Theron ordered.Theron's unprecedented cautious attitude made everyone panic in the following days.

After the meeting, Lola came back to her office and sat down. "Take office within three days? Howcome our calm boss became so eager? Now that Harry is coming with Yolanda, I will face them!" Shesneered.

In order to make herself stronger, she had been working hard since she joined in SL Group three yearsago. Luckily, the former Acting President thought highly of her competency and promoted her toGeneral Manager.

The show was going to be on soon. Who's gonna be the winner and who's gonna be the loser? It's asplain as the nose on the face...

In No. 888 Room of Westin Hotel.

Lola was wearing a white dress, a red wind coat and a pair of new-fashioned wedge heels which quitematched her clothes.

With the color reviver balm, her light make-up looked exquisite. Lola sat down at the seat which wasfarthest from the seat for the guest of honor.

Eight department managers, two deputy managers, one general manager and one deputy CEO wereall present, waiting for their CEO.

At seven o'clock pm.

The door was opened from outside on time. The man who was stepping in exuded a strong sense ofdomineering. All people were on tenterhooks. They stood up at once to show their respect to the man.

"Boss Lewis, welcome!" Theron scooted to the man who kept a porker face and walked him to the seat.

After greeting, Theron started introducing the others to Harry. Lola was sitting still and listening.

When it came to Lola, Theron said, "Boss Lewis, this is our General Manager, Lola Newman. Althoughshe just joined in our company three years ago, she had been promoted to General Manager becauseof her outstanding competency."

"Three years... Miss Newman is excellent indeed." Hearing that low and masculine voice again afteryears, Lola lifted her lips slightly.

Other male managers nursed a little grievance. "Why Boss Lewis just nodded indifferently when itcomes to them, but praised Lola? Young and beautiful ladies are in high favor for sure!" they thought.

How they wish they could be young and beautiful!

Other female managers who were in their thirties and forties all blushed. Boss Lewis was so charmingthat their heart started beating faster the moment they saw him.

"Thank you, Boss Lewis. It's my honor to work for SL Group." Lola replied simply without even lookingat Harry.

Noticing the atmosphere turned a little embarrassing, Theron introduced another manager immediately.After that, all of them came to toast Harry one after another.

Lola looked much more indifferent against the enthusiastic others. She didn't join their toast, but ateand sipped juice sometimes while sitting there.

Theron poured some Baijiu for Lola and asked her to toast Harry.

Lola put her chopsticks down and looked at Theron, "Sorry, I can't drink these days."

Lola was supposed to say that to Boss Lewis. But she was looking at Theron, who was embarrassedby her words. "What is wrong with Lola? She is good at socializing and able to get along well with allcolleagues in company. Why she is so weird today?" Theron wondered.

Theron didn't insist on that. He turned to another manager and asked him to toast Harry.

The banquet could be regarded as a success cause everyone fully took part in and enjoyed it, exceptLola of course.

Theron dragged Lola to walk Harry out together after the banquet. There was a little flush on Harry'scheeks. He drank a little bit too much that night.

It was getting late when they came out. Joey was standing beside the Maybach, waiting for Harry.

Seeing long-lost Lola, Joy nodded at her.

Theron was confused. "CEO's assistant seems to know Lola. Does CEO already know Lola beforetoo?" he thought.

Then Joey opened the door for Harry.

"Mr. Bentley, I forgot my phone in the hotel. Could you please fetch it for me?" Harry turned to themsuddenly.

"Sure. Please wait a minute."

Theron trotted back to the hotel at once. Lola was not willing to stay alone with Harry, at least at thattime. She was planning to follow Theron, When Harry called her, "Miss Newman, how about getting infor a chat?" Harry was leaning against the door of the Maybach and squinting at Lola who looked moremature than she was four years ago.

"No. Boss Lewis, you'd better have a good rest!" Lola refused without turning back to him.

Hearing that, Harry just smiled without saying anything further. Since he had been in Ascea now, hehad a lot of time.

Then they saw Theron running out of the hotel hall with Harry's mobile phone in his hand. The mobilephone was ringing.

"Boss Lewis, someone called Yolanda keeps calling you!" Harry threw a clod glance at him. Theronrealized he shouldn't have watched Boss's privacy.

Hearing what Theron just said, Lola went straight to her BMW parked nearby and left despite that the

big Boss was still standing there.

Theron was more confused with a little anger. "What the hell is wrong with Lola today? She has beenso impolite to the big Boss." He thought.

Harry hung up the phone indifferently. Then he got in the Maybach after Lola's car ran out of his sight."Goodbye, Boss Lewis. Have a good rest!" Theron waved at Harry.

After seeing big Boss off, Theron went back to the private room cause other managers were still there.

They were devouring food. They didn't dare to eat with abandon in front of the big Boss. Now, since theBoss had left, they finally could fill their belly.
