Hearing Lola say that she liked the gift so much, Harry was further irritated.
This was definitely not sent by a woman. While Lola had a few close female friends, they would not
give her such an expensive lipstick. Let alone so many!
This was done by a man who had feelings for her. Maybe Joshua Lu? No, Joshua did not dare do this
kind of a favor. So, it was sent either by Zoe Lu or Thomas Herren!
"Miss Li!" His cold voice instantly dispersed the people around Lola and her gift.
The sun was torching hot. Although Lola did not look back, she already had an idea who shouted at
her.
"Help me to put them away, thank you." She looked at the large box of lipsticks next to her and
requested the two beautiful women to help her.
Then she turned around with a lovely smile, "Boss Si, are you going out to have lunch?"
What? How could she be so happy like this?
Harry looked directly at her, whose face was filled with joy, and spit a few words, "Throw them to the
trash!"
If she dared to refuse, he would pinch her neck. Harry was so jealous and enraged.
Lola cursed him in her mind, "Fuck!" "I'm sorry, Boss Si, this is a gift from my friend. You don't have any
right to deal with them."
After saying these words, she held the large boxes full of lipsticks packed by the two beautiful women
and walked to her own car.
They were very heavy!
She immediately received a WeChat message after she put them in the trunk and became very terrified
when she read the text. "You are doomed this evening." Harry and Joey had disappeared when she
looked back.
Was this a real threat or just a prank? Lola was a bit confused. Maybe she would leave early after work
and hurry home. It should be all right!
Rumors and gossips had spread within the SL Group. She heard a lot of it as she was going back to
the office.
Everyone had known that Miss Li received a very special gift from her suitor: 99 lipsticks of different
colors from a very famous international brand.
A mixed combination admiration and jealousy filled the air.
But right after lunch break, all the colleagues got an email of disposition when they started to work.
It said that Miss Li did not abide by the company rules during work and has caused unproductivity and
other bad effects on the company. The following penalties are imposed as a punishment: penalties for
three months and continuous overtime work for one month.
The gossips got louder and fiercer. As it was sent from the mailbox of Joey, it must have been ordered
by the CEO.
Some people said that Boss Si still loved Miss Li. The old adage says that the deeper the love is, the
deeper the hatred will be!
Some said that the CEO pretended to be adamant in separating public from personal affairs. Some
said that he got jealous.
Actually, Joshua knew that the CEO got very envious.
He did not dare to involve himself in the relationship between Lola and Harry after what he had
experienced last time. He just wanted to do his work the best way he can.
However, after thinking about it, he still sent a greeting to Lola, "Happy birthday!"
Lola was very depressed while staring at the company's e-mail. But she felt much better after reading
her birthday greetings. There's no better time than your birthday.
After quickly replying "thank you" to Joshua, she put the phone aside and continued to stare at the
email.
Continuous overtime work for a month! How would she be able to take care of Nicole?
She would like to protest! Wasn't she allowed to take an immunity from her behavior today? It was her
birthday! He did not even send a gift himself, so maybe he became very insecure upon learning that
men have been giving her lots of presents
She sent Harry a message, "I am going to protest this punishment!"
Harry looked at the words coldly. He put down the documents in his hands, and replied, "Talk to me in
person tonight after work!"
Should she have to personally talk to him? What for? It seemed that there was still some opportunity to
negotiate her punishment.
Then she could finally be relieved. She hoped for the best. She took out a document and began
reading it so she could take her mind off from the email.
Harry personally called Jordan before going off from work and then he went to the parking lot to wait for
Lola.
Lola, who was still desperately reading the contract in the office, suddenly received another WeChat
message, "Come to the parking garage now!"
She curiously checked the WeChat message and found that it indeed came from Harry. Should she try
to negotiate now?
Then she packed her stuff, grabbed her bag and left the office without thinking too much.
In the parking garage.
Tapping the steering wheel repeatedly with his slender fingers, Harry was deep in his thoughts.
Lola looked around to make sure none was looking in this direction. Then she quickly opened the door
of the black Maserati and sat in the co-pilot seat.
Harry started the car and drove out of the parking garage.
"Hey! Could you please tell me where we are going first?" She looked out of the window and did not
expect for any reply.
Would they celebrate her birthday together?
The man drove quietly without a word and finally stopped in front of a fancy restaurant.
They walked in the building, proceeded to the elevator and when they reached the 55th floor, the luxury
restaurant on the top floor was playing light romantic music.
The dim light illuminated the dining tables. One of them leaning against the edge was lit with white
candles.
So… Are they here for a candlelight dinner?
Feelings of fondness and anxiety filled her fragile heart. Was he going to celebrate her birthday with
her?
He gently held her hand and walked to that table, pulling the chair off for her to seat. It was a real
romantic gesture.
They sat down face to face. The large dining table was decorated with a few red roses in the middle.
Moments after they sat down, several waiters with trays came over and placed plates of Western food
one by one in front of them.
The first plate was foie gras and caviar.
They could easily see the beautiful night scenery of A Country. It was exhilarating. Looking at Lola,
Harry did not speak. Lola also chose to keep silent.
Filling her mouth with caviar, Lola felt a little uneasy, worrying that this candlelight dinner would just
pass in silence. She did not know what to say.
"Don't you have anything to say?" She glanced at the man elegantly eating foie gras, whose aura was
so noble and natural.
The man just rolled his eyes and silently glanced at her.
Lola pouted her lips in displeasure. What kind of celebration was this?
The waiters came over to get the empty plates. Several minutes later, they served seafood soup and
Italian vegetable soup.
Slowly taking in the seafood soup, Lola casually looked around, glaring at the empty table beside them
now and then. She wondered if Harry had booked the whole restaurant. She preferred that they be
alone.
Then she looked at the roses on the table, which were different from those of A country and might have
come from somewhere far.
At last, she casted her eyes on the man who sat opposite to her, guessing whether he would keep
silent until the end of the dinner. This stupid guy!
Then the main courses were served, including the cooked sirloin steak, the sautéed silver carp, and the
roasted turkey.
Noticing that Lola was festively eating her steak, Harry put his untouched steak on her plate. Seeing
the already chopped steak on her plate, Lola became very ecstatic
He would always cut the steak for her every time they eat Western food together.
They focused on their food without making any sounds.
Lola was almost full after eating the main courses. Then the waiter brought up the cheeses and the
fruits.
They ate the cheese first, and then proceeded to consume the fruits. When they were finished eating,
Lola wiped her mouth, stood up from her seat, and walked to the other side of the rooftop without
saying anything.
A cool breeze blew in and Lola's long hair fluttered in the wind.
"Did you enjoy the food?" Harry embraced her from behind. Lola did not expect this. But she liked it so
much, wishing they would be like this forever.
