"You'll know what your father looks like when you see him. I'm getting up. You may wait a second,
OK?" Lola Li ran her fingers through her hair and sat up in bed. Well, she felt quite sleepy...
Nicole Li shook her head and got herself out of bed. She knew her mother was busy and she went to
her nanny Mrs. Yuan.
Lola Li felt relieved when she saw her docile daughter. She was really thoughtful.
Lola remembered that when she was about to wean her daughter, she held the baby and said, "Nicole
is a big girl now. A big girl doesn't drink breast milk." Nicole nodded obediently and she hadn't ever
drunk breast milk from then on.
Without breast milk at night, she somehow felt emotionally insecure. She woke up several times a
night, but she didn't ask for it.
Lola Li was greatly touched when her baby neither cried nor protested. Joy welled up in her heart every
time she thought of her daughter. Nicole was truly her sweet heart!
It was almost half past seven after she fed Nicole at breakfast. Lola asked Joseph to take Nicole to the
kindergarten first, while she went upstairs to get herself changed.
Joseph seated Nicole in the child car seat and buckled her up. Then he moved onto the driving seat
and set off.
Harry was waiting out of the Li's Manor twenty minutes ahead of time.
He paid little attention when he saw a car coming out. But when the little girl in the back seat smiled at
him, his heart rate was skyrocketing.
Though casting one glance, Harry was impressed
By her round face, big black eyes, small mouth and straight teeth. Even he was far apart, he could see
the girl in a pink blouse through the car window. What a cute girl she was!
If Lola Li hadn't had the induced abortion, his child would have been older than this girl!
He noticed Joseph on the driving seat. Was that girl the goddaughter of Lola Li? No, it was weird.
Lola Li came out of the villa and it took her all of ten minutes to reach the gate. It was already twenty-
five to eight. She was five minutes late.
Harry's car had been waiting at the gate. Lola Li trotted and opened the car door.
As soon as she got in the car, she sensed that Harry was in a bad mood. With his eyes closed, he
leaned back on the seat and looked poker-faced. What he said tensed Lola Li right away. He saw
Nicole?
"I just saw a very cute girl. Is she your goddaughter?"
... She was freaking out! "...Uh, yeah!"
Harry advanced his head close to Lola Li, "Lola Li, if you hadn't had the induced abortion, I would be a
father now. How could you be so heartless!" He looked gloomy. Thinking of Nicole, Lola Li didn't even
dare to meet his gaze.
Harry thought she felt guilty because of her past abortion, which dejected him.
"I... I didn't." She opened her mouth, but was unable to give a convincing explanation.
Harry simply glared at her, but said no more then. He started the car and drove towards his company.
In the general manager's office.
Lola Li patted her chest to calm down. She never expected Harry to see Nicole one day. She even
forgot about that when she asked Joseph to take Nicole to the kindergarten.
Fortunately, Harry wasn't aware that Nicole was his daughter. She must be more careful next time. She
would never let this happen again.
Before she went off work, she sent the deputy CEO an E-mail to ask for leave. Theron immediately
forwarded it to the CEO.
When seeing her request for leave, Harry thought of the call she answered in the car last night and
gave his approval.
Just then, his phone rang. He hesitated for two seconds when he saw the caller ID, but he still picked it
up.
"Harry, you've been away for more than a week! Can I go there for you?" Yolanda spoke through the
phone in a soft voice.
"If you don't want to stay in D City alone, just go back to C Country." He stood up, looking at A Country
out of the window.
Yolanda was silent for a few seconds before she said, "Harry, it's time to get married! I'm not getting
any younger. Our parents are pushing us to get married. I don't know how to explain to my parents!"
Harry rubbed his aching temples and replied, "I'll wait and see. I just took over the company and I'm
rather occupied with it!"
If Rose hadn't threatened him with her life, how would he have got engaged to Yolanda? He no longer
loved her. Nor did he want to waste her time. However, Rose thought otherwise.
Yolanda fell silent again. She knew he must be renewing the old romance with Lola Li! Thinking of that,
Yolanda spoke frankly, "Harry, don't forget what that woman did to me in those days. Are you going to
mess around with her?"
Her words reminded Harry of what happened four years ago, "No. Lola Li is a malicious woman. I'm not
going to be with her."
What he did then was to have his revenge on her. Yes, that was the reason!
At the door of the CEO office, Lola Li lost hold of the folders in her hands. Metal on the folders touched
the floor tiles, giving a sharp sound.
Harry turned around. Lola Li stared at him expressionlessly. He could clearly see the sadness in her
eyes.
Sensed his stare, Lola Li squatted down and hurried to pick the folders up. Then, she hurriedly ran
away with a mess of folders in her arms and got into the elevator before Harry strode to catch up.
Lola's office was beside the Design Department. When Lola Li passed the Design Department,
everyone inside looked at each other in confusion.
They were surprised to see the general manager with beads of tears. It had been three years since
Boss Li worked in this company. In everyone's heart, she was the Iron Lady, who was calm, elegant,
gorgeous and highly competent, as well as the dream lover of many men.
Such an episode created quite a stir in the company when all offices are abuzz with discussions.
Besides, Lola Li didn't show up in the company the following day because she went to Nicole's
kindergarten for its activity. Discussions went even more exaggerated.
"Miss Li must have been crossed in love. Everyone in the Design Department had witnessed tears in
her eyes!"
"Yeah. And she didn't even come to work today. Something must be wrong."
"Well, how nice Miss Li is! How could that jerk cheat on her?"
"You're right. Miss Li is our Aphrodite! The jerk should go to hell!"
...
Joey, who was just passing by, twitched his mouth. The CEO was taken for a jerk by his subordinates.
But that was funny, aha! He couldn't help laughing.
He was so amused that he was still giggling when he returned to his desk.
Unfortunately, the door of CEO office was open. Harry immediately saw that.
"Joey!" Upon hearing the boss calling him, Joey stopped giggling and put on a serious look.
All secretaries were amazed by his sudden change of facial expression!
