Chapter 129 Staying with the Boss Was Too Dangerous
Harry kept his poker face unchanged and started at the conference table distractedly. It seemed he neither heard her words nor saw her resignation letter.
There was a long silence before Harry spoke in a lower voice, "There is another thing. I decide to organize a party at Fontainebleau Resort this Saturday. All managers and excellent staff will be invited. It's on my treat."
Hearing Harry's words, all people were surprised. Fontainebleau Resort was the largest and most luxurious resort of SL Group. With beautiful scenery, various entertainment facilities and five-star service, it never failed to win the affection of tourists.
Seeing everybody was excited and took no notice of her resignation anymore, Lola felt embarrassed. She grasped her resignation letter in the hand and bit her lower lip while looking at Harry who seemed to ignore her resignation.
Why did he do that?
Lola thought she just looked like a clown at that time. "That's all for today." Harry said.
Then he stood up from the executive chair and walked to the door.
Julie Tan glanced at Lola and caught up with Harry.
Then all managers left the meeting room one after the other. Jeremy Duan was concerned about Lola. He came up to the pale-looking Lola and asked, "Miss Li, are you OK?"
He wondered why Lola want to resign.
Lola glanced at Jeremy, shook her head and replied with a smile, "Yes. Thank you."
Jeremy knew Lola didn't want to talk at that time so he said no more word but collected his documents and left the meeting room.
There was only Lola in the silent meeting room. She hunched over the conference table.
"It is said that period pain will be much diminished after having a baby. But why doesn't it work for me? Isn't one child enough? And I need to give birth to one more to ease my pain?" Lola wondered.
She hunched over the conference table for a very long time. Her mobile phone vibrated when she almost fell asleep.
That was a new email from Julie Tan informing the party Harry just mentioned during the meeting.
Lola stood up slowly, collected her documents and then walked towards her office.
The moment she stepped out of the elevator, Leo Zhu rushed to her and said, "Miss Li, your telephone kept ringing. It's from Boss Si. He asked you to go to his office and discuss with Miss Tan about Saturday's party."
She was not in the mood to discuss that. "Call Joey and tell him I am not going to take part in that discussion. Let Boss Si and Miss Tan decide." She said. What's more, she didn't plan to participate in that party.
Hearing Lola's words, Leo Zhu was astonished. He didn't expect Lola would go against their Boss's instruction.
But he still nodded and called Joey as what Lola had instructed.
Looking at the telephone in the hand, which was hung up, Joey fell into anxiety. He didn't dare to tell his Boss that Miss Li refused him.
Lola pushed him into a trouble!
Joey stood up, took a deep breath and finally knocked on Harry's office door. "Come in, please." Harry's sound arose inside.
Joey opened the door and found Julie Tan was sitting on the sofa and writing a proposal while his boss was sitting on his executive chair and typing.
He prayed to God. Then he plucked up his courage and reported, "Boss. Leo just called me. He said Miss Li was busying with other things so she has no time to discuss the party now..."
Hearing Joey's words, Harry turned a cold face at once.
But he just said indifferently, "OK, I got it."
Joey was relieved. Then he turned around and left the office at once. Staying with his boss was too dangerous.
Seeing Joey leaving, Julie Tan was lost in thought, "What's wrong with Lola Li?" "Miss Tan, you discuss the party with Jeremy and tell me the result." Harry said.
"OK." Julie Tan replied. Then she collected her papers and left the office.
"Is Lola Li unwilling to discuss with me?" She thought on the way back to her office.
She felt upset on thinking of the possibility so she planned to assign Harry and Lola two rooms that were far from each other on Saturday night.
In the deputy CEO office.
Lola was leaning back on her office chair and reading a document. She felt much better after drinking several glasses of hot water.
Suddenly, her mobile phone rang. Lola felt a momentary excitement before she saw the caller ID. She was expecting Harry's call.
She picked up the phone and felt down when she knew it was Thomas Herren. "Hello, Mr. Herren."
Lola said as she picked up the glass on hand and drank some hot water.
"Are you busy now?" Thomas asked her. He was busy all the morning and finally could make a phone call to Lola during break time.
Lola nodded and said, "I just finished a meeting. What's up?"
Thomas stood up, walked to the window and looked down at the quiet and majestic government yard, "Nothing special. I just want to invite you for a meal if you are free."
He smiled on thinking of their last appointment. Lola was quite enjoying at that time. If they didn't meet Harry Si at last, that appointment could have been more perfect.
"I am sorry. Mr. Herren. I don't feel good today. How about I buy you a meal next time!" Lola said while tucking a lock of hair behind her ear. She still wasn't used to calling him "Thomas" directly.
"What's wrong? Did you go to the hospital?" Learning Lola was sick, Thomas frowned.
"Eh...I am OK. I just have a slight cold." It was embarrassing to say she was during her period so she just made up an excuse.
Suddenly, there was a knock on her office door. "Come in, please." Lola answered.
Thomas thought Lola was going to deal with business so he said, "Take care of yourself and call me when you are free, OK?"
"OK, Mr. Herren." Lola replied while looking at Joey walking to her.
Then she hung up the phone. Joey put a key on her desk, "Miss Li, this is your car key. Your car is repaired. It's in the parking area now."
"Was Mr. Herren calling Miss Li again?" Joey thought.
Lola put the key into her purse and took a paper bag out. "Thank you. Joey. This is for you!"
Joey was surprised. He took over the paper bag and said, "Thank you, Miss Li."
Lola smiled and said, "These snacks are not enough to repay your kindness. I will buy you a big meal."
Hearing her words, Joey was astonished. "So these are just snacks in the bag?" He thought.
Seeing Joey's changing facial expression, Lola dismissed him with a muffled smile. "Enjoy yourself!" Joey walked out her office with the bag in his arms.
Looking at packets of dried fruit in the bag, Joey sighed. He couldn't believe Lola just bought some snacks to return his favor!
He came back to the executive floor and distributed those snacks to other secretaries. "Miss Li bought these snacks for me. Enjoy yourselves." He didn't forget to speak for Lola while distributing snacks.
Harry, who just opened his office door and was about to walk outside, frowned after hearing Joey's words. "Why did Lola buy snacks for Joey?" He thought.
After Joey shared all those snacks, he touched a small box.
