Two minutes later, she did find a golden chain of keys, with which she used to enter the lounge. The
room was very tidy and the bedding was newly-put. Everything in the room felt so relaxing.
Lola was so tired that she immediately fell into sleep once she was in bed. All the events leading up to
this day had drained all the energy in her.
As a result, she missed all the calls from Harry.
Two o'clock in the morning.
Someone was knocking at the door of the lounge, which was locked from the inside. Already sound
asleep, Lola only turned over when she heard the noise and fell asleep again.
"Bang! Bang!" Nagged by the loud combination of the knocking and the ringing of her phone, Lola
finally woke up.
Who would be knocking here so late at night? Was it Harry? She checked the incoming call.
Then she abruptly picked up the call. "Open the door." It was him!
With disheveled hair and confused eyes, Lola looked at the dark shadow of a man outside the door.
"How can I help you, Boss Si? It's quite late now, you know." Being woken up from sleep was not a
pleasant experience. It was something that she never liked.
But Harry found her look of confusion extremely adorable. He couldn't reach her through the phone
repeatedly, so he was worried that she might be in trouble again. The unfortunate happenings they
experienced had also caused a bit of a trauma in him.
Despite the fact that Sara Fu had been arrested and sentenced to death, the Li Family was actually put
at a bigger risk as more people knew about the old pocket watch after the kidnapping. The value of the
pocket watch had been reported in every channel of the radio and television.
"Nothing. Go back to sleep! I'm very sorry for bothering you." He walked in and sat on the couch. His
heart ached when he saw Lola throwing herself back to bed. She has been so worn out. He wished he
could have her tiredness and pain so that she would not be feeling exhausted or hurt anymore.
He shouldn't have asked her to be acting CEO in the first place. However, he could still give her a
hand. Several competent assistants could be assigned to help her..
Lola forced herself to stay awake and see what Harry would do, but she fell asleep again not before
long.
When she woke up again, it was already 7 in the morning. Her laptop was on the desk, along with
some folders.
She picked up one of them and found it had been thoroughly examined, and had been marked with
detailed comments of revision and had been carefully approved.
His comments, written in an elegant style, were always right to the point. They revealed all the hidden
risk and flaws she had not noticed. Harry had given practical suggestions for each of them, which
meant that it only took Harry few hours to cope with her workload for a whole week...
Was he that good? He even stayed up all night to finish her job. He loved her that much.
When she was about to open the door after tidying up, Joey pushed it open from the outside and slowly
walked in.
He showed Lola the bag in his hand. There were several lunchboxes in it.
"Miss Li, Boss Si just left and he told me to bring you some breakfast! He is so sweet on you!" Actually,
it was a tragic story for Joey. He waited downstairs for the whole night after receiving Boss's call at 2
o'clock in the morning. He had not slept since then.
Lola was stupefied for a moment, and then she nodded. "Thanks, Joey. It's so kind of you! You're so
sweet too!"
In the lunchboxes, there were steamed creamy bun, deep-fried dough stick with special spice sauce
and preserved egg and minced pork porridge. All looked very warm and appetizing.
"It's my pleasure. I'll see you later then, Miss Li." Finally! He could go back home and catch some sleep
now!
After Joey left, Lola took the breakfast to the CEO office.
It was early in the morning, so no one was at work yet. She went back to the lounge again, got her
laptop and folders, and cleared the room up.
After the morning briefing, Julie Tan gave Lola a letter of resignation.
Julie was still wearing that enchanting smile as if the letter was not from her.
Lola went through the whole letter and the ultimate reason Julie stated in it was nothing more than
suitability for her job in SL.
"Miss Tan, is this really why you decided to leave?" Lola put the letter on her desk and looked at Julie
with arms crossed.
Julie Tan was a remarkable manager in spite of her unprofessional flirting nature. If she left, it would be
a loss to the management of the company. She was a valuable asset.
"I came here for Boss Si, to tell you the truth. But now it seems that he's far from my reach. And he's
leaving soon, so there's no point in staying here any longer." Sitting opposite Lola, Julie said bluntly.
Lola smiled. "For Boss Si? What a coincidence. We came here for the same reason! However, I haven't
given up even after four years of waiting. Why are you in a hurry?"
It was true. Lola was planning to make some bold moves after Zoe's funeral. Tit for tat, she would get
back at that woman sooner or later. She would not let justice underestimate what that evil of a woman
had done to her.
Yolanda ruined her career in the entertainment industry, so she would not allow her to enjoy the fame
and power today. Ultimately, she destroyed her marriage.
All of a sudden, Julie changed the way she was looking at Lola. There was really something special
about her. Despite their differences, she still adored Lola. Simply speaking, they were chasing after a
same man. But Lola seemed to be okay with that.
"You really don't mind?" Normally, Lola would kick those rivals out.
"Of course I do. But he's not mine yet. So why should I care? Besides, you are very valuable to this
company." Lola laughed, radiant with confidence, like a typical superwoman.
Julie tore the paper up, secretly hoping that Harry would not be so blind to choose Yolanda, that
cunning bitch.
"Miss Li, pretend that I never show up here today!" Julie stood up. Inspired by Lola's words, she
decided to stay instead.
Lola nodded, stood at the same time and held out her hand. "Miss Tan, I look forward to your excellent
performance. I believe you'll have a bright future in SL."
Julie Tan took Lola's hand and found it exceedingly soft. Obviously, Lola was well brought up in a rich
family. "I really appreciate your kindness, Miss Li! I won't take this opportunity for granted."
Soon afterwards, Julie Tan left the deputy CEO office and threw the paper shreds into the garbage can.
The brilliant sunshine outside the window was just like the smile on Lola's face when she looked at
Harry.
It reminded Julie of the men who just came and went in her life. Now she was determined to end this
long time of love affairs and be an elegant, independent and unique woman like Lola!
Julie even wanted to thank Yolanda Mo now. If it were not for her, she wouldn't have come to SL and
had her values changed for the better after learning from people here!
She looked at Lola's office again. Lola Li, you are going to get him for sure! I hope you do! You're the
better woman.
About 7 in the evening, Lola grabbed her purse and rushed to the parking lot. She almost forgot that
she had an important dinner with some high-ranking political figures. These meetings were very
important for the promotion of the company.
She called Jordan on the way, and asked him to pick her up around 8 to 9 pm, as he was usually at
leisure during night time.
At exactly ten to eight, Lola arrived at Marriott Hotel. When she walked in Private Room 666, a dozen
or so people had seated themselves around a round table, and Lola was the last guest.
"Look! Isn't this Miss Li from SL Group!" A stout man abruptly came to her side to shake hands with
Lola.
Lola recognized him. He was Danny Fang, the CEO of Fang Holdings Group. She couldn't believe she
would be able to meet him!
At about her father's age, this Mr. Fang was notoriously lecherous, infamous for his lust for both
genders and frequent sex scandals. At the same time, he was a cunning businessman and had already
achieved a lot of success.
Lola shook hands with him in a routinely manner. When Danny Fang was about to bring up a
conversation, she walked away right away to the guest of honor. She did not have any time to waste.
