Chapter 131 Did You Step Aside
The moment she walked into her room, she saw Julie Tan going into Harry's room.
Lola closed the door, feeling down. To her surprise, the balcony across the living room of her deluxe suite actually faced the sea. The sea view cheered her up a bit, so she put away the luggage and walked to the balcony.
Jasmines were placed along both sides of the balcony, which were blooming at its most beauty and giving off pleasant fragrance.
Lola sat there and played with her phone. She took a picture of the sea and jasmines and posted it in the Moments, " Face the sea with spring flowers blossoming."
Soon the post was liked by many colleagues.
As the night approached, she talked to Nicole over the phone for half an hour, and then left the phone to get charged.
While other colleagues were riding horses, enjoying hot spring or doing spa, Lola had been staying in her own room.
At about 9 pm, Lola started to feel hungry, so she set off to have dinner and planned to take a bath in hot spring afterwards.
Coincidentally, when she opened the door, she noticed the door of Harry's room opening as well. There came out two people.
Lola shut the door as if she didn't see them, until she heard, "Miss Li, are you going out for some fun?"
Julie Tan was wearing a bright red bikini, barely covered with a mid-length black coat which was casually fixed with a belt.
That was the suit for hot spring. Were they going together?
Lola took a look at Harry, who was properly dressed, and turned to Julie Tan. "Not really. Just getting some food."
Then she left without looking back. Julie looked at Harry and as she expected, Harry was watching Lola leave.
Julie smiled, with the corners of her red lips raised. She would not bring the intimacy between Harry and Lola into the open.
When Lola arrived at the buffet restaurant, many colleagues were still having dinner although it was quite late.
The buffet seemed nice! An amazing variety of appetizing food were provided, including sea food, Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine and western food.
Lola picked some food and found a corner to sit.
Food here tasted really good though.
Someone sneaked up with his plate and sat opposite Lola.
Joshua! Joshua had to act furtively because he was afraid to be seen by CEO.
"You are invited too, Joshua. Your performance at work must be satisfying!" Lola glanced at him, and continued to focus on the tofu in her plate.
Joshua took a bite of spaghetti and looked at Lola Li, who appeared to be cool and calm. "Miss Li, you have disappeared for a whole day, while CEO and Miss Tan were hanging out together all the time. Did you step aside?"
He looked at Lola curiously, who was once his goddess, but he dared not to dream of her anymore.
"Step aside?" Lola stopped shelling the crab and looked at Joshua with the same curious look, as if she could see her own brother in him.
Maybe it was because they shared similar character.
Joshua swallowed a mouthful of spaghetti and leaned close to Lola. "Don't you and CEO have feelings for each other? Did Tan take advantage of your fight that night and get herself involved?"
Lola Li grabbed a spoon and hit Joshua's head with it. "You are too gossipy. And Tan? You should call her Miss Tan!" She put on a serious look and said to Joshua.
Joshua smacked his lips speechlessly. Where was that cute and funny deputy CEO he saw that night?
Then he moved towards again. "But to be honest, you are so much better than that Miss Tan...What is Boss Si thinking?" What do you think?" He fed himself with another mouthful of spaghetti.
Lola took notice of the couple mentioned not far away. Then she smiled to Joshua, "How about going to hot spring together later?"
Joshua shook his head dramatically at once. "No. I have been there all the time when you were hiding in your room. I might be skinned by the hot spring if go there again!" It was true. The hot spring here was terrific but staying in it all day would be too much for any one.
Lola got really pissed off and glared at him. "Are you coming or not? If no, then don't talk to me anymore!"
... Her last sentence sounded quite childish and playful, contrasted with her mature and graceful appearance.
But as CEO's cold look flashed cross his mind, Joshua stifled his affection immediately.
"Okay. Okay. Now that our Miss Li has asked, I'll go no matter what." Joshua was still clueless about why Lola asked him to go with her.
Harry was simmering with rage when he saw Lola acting so close to that guy.
When did they hook up with each other again? Was that man an employee in his company? If so, he was definitely going to be sacked.
Harry Si was here for dinner? He would care to condescend to eat here? Lola wondered as she passed by Harry and Julie, who appeared to be very intimate.
"I'll go back and get changed for bathing. See you at hot spring later." That was the last thing Harry heard before they left the restaurant.
At the moment, Joshua was begging Lola where Harry couldn't see them. "Miss Li, Boss Li, would you please let me go?" That explained! He was just wondering why Miss Li asked him to go with her. It was when they passed by Harry and Lola said that on purpose that he finally came to understand.
She was using him to make Harry jealous...
Lola grinned to Joshua while walking into the elevator. "Joshua, Josh, my sweet Josh... Ewwwww..." The cheesy nicknames Lola just got for Joshua even made herself sick, let alone Joshua, who was sweating in terror. He didn't feel any intimacy. Instead, he was desperately hoping that Lola, Miss deputy CEO, could let him get out of this!
"Joshua, what do you think if I ask you out now?" Struck by what Lola just blurted out, Joshua started to push the OPEN button of elevator like crazy.
She asked him out? It was obliviously, apparently and definitely a great conspiracy, which would totally devastate him. He would be a fool to say yes!
He'd better stay as far away as possible from his goddess!
Joshua determined attitude made Lola start to question herself. Am I that unattractive now?
"Joshua! Stop!" Lola Li dragged Joshua back into the elevator and closed the door.
Joshua was hopeless to see the door being closed and shook his head in despair. "Oh, no!" He would be doomed...
"Joshua, if you dare to stand me up, I will make announcement in the company about how a young employee from design department tried to sexually harass me!" Lola Li looked up at this big boy and started to threaten him.
The elevator passed the floor Joshua's room was on and finally stopped at Lola's floor.
They walked out and stood in the hallway, in silent confrontation.
