Should I try to love this man?
Thomas Herren did not return until he bought the popcorn. Then, he held her hand and they walked to
the ticket barrier.
This was the second time that they would watch a movie together. Thomas chose one that was starred
by Joseph.
It was a good action movie.
They sat in the middle of the last row, waiting patiently for the movie to start.
"How was your life there? How was work?" It was the first time that Lola initiated to ask about his
situation there.
He was surprised at this sweet gesture. He replied, "Everything was fine except that I was really busy."
As for the treacherous things, it was unnecessary to tell her.
She slightly nodded and just continued eating the popcorn in the bucket.
"Could I go there with you this afternoon? Will that be possible?"
......
Lola saw the shock on Thomas Herren's face for the first time.
"You...... should not take it the wrong way, please. I just want to relax there for two days and to refresh
myself." She explained to her shyly and wished that he did not expect too much.
Thomas shook his head and he was happy as long as she was with him.
"I would bring you with me. Don't worry about it."
After the movie ended, they had an early lunch.
Then, Lola returned home to pack her clothes and informed her family this news. After that, she
boarded the plane to Crown Province with Thomas.
But Lola never imagined that she would stay there for a long time.
Thomas Herren's living place was offered by Crown Province. When Lola was there, he arranged for
her to live in his own flat.
Since then, no matter how busy he was, he would always happily come back to the flat as long as he
was not on a business trip.
Harry unintentionally knew that Lola had went to Crown Province with Thomas Herren. Joseph had
received the news and relayed it to his boss.
At that time, Lola had been in Crown Province for a week and was having a good time in Kazza Lake. It
offered really scenic views where it seemed like the water and the sky formed a straight line.
That night, Thomas picked her up to the flat in person.
Looking at her scruffy long hair because of playing, Thomas sweetly fixed it.
He caressed her hair and then drove back.
In the flat, Lola immediately took her shoes off and walked into the bedroom with bare feet.
It was already April in spring and was not that cold anymore. As there were carpets on the floor, it was
warm inside the room.
On seeing her bare feet, Thomas Herren grasped her hand, held her by the waist and entered the
bedroom with her.
Lola was startled and draped her arms around his neck in a hurry since she was concerned that she
might fall down.
Placing her on her bed, Thomas Herren returned to take her slippers, squatted in front of her and put
them on her feet.
Looking at him, Lola was so familiar to it as Harry once put shoes on her feet like this.
After this, Thomas Herren saw that Lola was in a daze and her eyes were already welling with tears.
He had no idea on what she was thinking about and his hands propped up on the bed beside her.
"You must be very tired today. You should sleep early!"
She stared at the handsome face in front of her and wondered whether she would forget Harry if she
tried to love Thomas back.
Then, Lola gathered courage and raised her head to imprint a kiss on his lips.
Yet, she didn't feel anything...
Herren's eyes suddenly concentrated on hers.
He was not Xiahui Liu (a man who undoubtedly adhered to moral rules in ancient China), so he did not
intend to waste her initiative.
He held her in his arms and kissed her back.
As he was about to get even deeper, Lola gripped his hands.
She shook her head, "I'm so sorry." She was not yet ready for this.
Thomas tightly closed his eyes and calmed himself down.
He did not blame her and was actually excited that she was willing to take their relationship to the next
level.
"Sleep early!" He abruptly left her bedroom and went back to his own bathroom.
Seeing the door close, Lola was in a trance.
Why didn't she think of Thomas even when she kissed him already?
Time passed and Lola had been there for almost a month without even being conscious of it. She
suddenly received a WeChat message from the manager of her coffee shop: "Miss Li, a new coffee
shop was opened just across ours."
Lola felt that there was something amiss about this. Thomas Herren sent her back to A country the next
day.
Lola went to the coffee shop directly.
Inside the car, Lola looked at the man beside her. "Thomas, thank you for the care and attention you
have given me during this difficult time." Crown Province was beautiful and she would always love that
place.
Although Thomas was busy every day, he would always think of her.
Lola got off the car and headed for her coffee shop. Thomas asked her to stop for a while.
She turned around. He held her in his arms and planted a soft kiss on her lips.
"We could stay in touch through our phones. Go inside now!" Lola watched his tenderness and was
confused. She just nodded as she had no idea on how to respond.
When the man turned around and got on the car, Lola shouted, "Thomas, thank you!"
Looking at her, Thomas smiled. Actually, he was not willing to let her leave him. But if he really loved
her, he would wait for her.
He nodded as a gesture of farewell. Then, he slowly drove away.
Lola watched Thomas drive away until the car has disappeared from her sight. However, she saw a
man with ice-cold eyes after that.
That man stood quietly over the other side of the wide road, one hand in his pocket and the other hand
holding a cigarette.
Lola turned around to enter the coffee shop and blinked.
When she closed the glass door, the man had disappeared already.
It should have been the peak hours in coffee shop. But now, there were only customers on just two
tables.
She turned around and looked at the opposite side of the road through the glass. There suddenly stood
an establishment of two floors on the place which was an empty land before.
The establishment was decorated with luxurious European style designs and a long signboard. It bore
the word 'Dominator'.
Lola knew the meaning of this English word. It meant someone who controlled people and things.
The style and the signboard were obviously Harry's. She could sense it immediately.
Thinking of the man she saw just now, she understood what was happening.
Apart from Harry, no one would and could open a coffee shop in such a short time.
She checked the sales income the past few days and found that it was the usual the day before
yesterday. However, her coffee shop's sales suffered a disastrous decline after the shop across them
opened yesterday.
What did he want to point out by doing this? A business tycoon in C country suddenly operated a
coffee shop on the opposite of her shop in A country.
She heard that their price was the lowest in the industry and they also had a menu of many flavors.
Was he aiming to kill her business?
Standing in front of the window with her hands clenched, Lola saw that more and more customers
entered Harry's shop. It was as if Lola's cafe did not exist.
After over 20 minutes, Joey pushed the door of the coffee shop open, and was followed by an
expressionless man.
Joey also opened the door of Maybach parked just along the road for his boss. He bent his head and
waist and then got on the car.
The car window was half-opened. Lola could clearly saw his expression. He just glanced at the location
where she stood with cold eyes. He was obviously looking at her.
He opened his mouth, said two words and slowly drove away.
