In the afternoon, Lola received a WeChat message from Harry: "Come to my place tonight and make it up to me."
......It was straightforward.
"How about I buy you a gift instead?" She offered an alternative.
"Do not try to change my decision." He replied at once.
Fine! "All right." She replied reluctantly.
The night was dark and windy.
At Crescent Spring Villa.
After they winded down after sex, Harry looked at the woman who was about to fall asleep and said in a soft voice, "Do not go home tonight."
She rolled over and said, "No! If I stay out all night, I will be skinned alive!" Finally the woman was able to catch her breath and have a rest.
She didn't want to stay with him all night!
"Oh? Will you? I bet you won't get out of this room!" The man threw his arm around her waist, without listening to her protests.
"Tell me, do you have other men in these four years?" Upon thinking that she might have been together with other men, Harry gritted his teeth.
"What? You have a fiancee, but I am not allowed to be with other men?" On hearing Lola's words, the man flew into a passion and had angry sex.
......
After a long time, Lola was taken into the bathroom by the man. Because of the sound of the running water, she did not hear the phone rings.
In the middle of the night, Harry toweled the woman dry and tucked her in when he heard the ringing tone from her cell phone. He took out the phone, and saw many missed calls from her brothers. Her younger brother was calling. Harry looked at the little woman who was sleeping and pressed the "Answer" button.
"Sis. Why don't you answer my phone? What are you doing in the middle of the night?" Joseph asked in an anxious and exasperated voice.
"She won't go back tonight." The male voice over the phone startled Joseph, who took a glance at the phone number and was assured that it was his sister's!
"Who are you? Where is my sister?" On hearing Joseph's words, Jordan became vigilant.
"Your brother-in-law, don't you remember me?" His simple reply made Joseph silent.
Harry?... Joseph didn't recognize his voice... What should he say? "Brother-in-law, please take care of my sister."
"I will. We have some work to talk about." The man lit a cigarette and looked out the window. He didn't mind talking to Joseph.
"Let my sister answer the phone!" Talking about work? Who the hell would talk about work in the middle of the night?
"She is tired and falls asleep."
......
Joseph silently hung up the phone. What else could he say? Could anyone tell him what else he could say?
"Lola is with her ex-husband." Jordan looked at his younger brother and said affirmatively.
"Um... Lola is not coming home tonight." Joseph hoped his former brother-in-law wouldn't let him down. "If you maltreated my sister ever again, I would ask my brother to raze your house to the ground with his army!" thought Joseph.
Although Harry offered him benefits, he should not fail his sister.
Jordan stood up from the sofa and said, "Go to bed. Lola is grown-up. She knows what she is doing." Then he went back to his room.
Joseph glanced at the back of his brother, shrugged, and walked towards his bedroom. He hoped that Lola wouldn't be silly again this time.
"By the way, there are a few days left before you sign the contract with the company, right? Look after Nicole for your sister these days." Jordan added. Joseph let out a sigh, for he had become a babysitter!
No, he had to call on Harry some other day to find out what he was up to! Right! That's it!
The next morning, Lola felt a kiss in her face. "Nicole, stop! Mommy is getting up right now."
The man paused and thought that Lola and her daughter were very close! When he landed a punitive kiss on her red lips, Lola realized that it was not Nicole kissing her!
The man's handsome face blocked her view. If her mouth hadn't been sealed by the man's kiss, she would have screamed.
Yesterday...she didn't return home all night! Damn it. She was so obsessed with the man. As she didn't go back all night, her family would certainly call her. She pushed the man away and looked at her cell phone. Sure enough...
"Woman!" Harry spoke in an upset voice.
"You badass. How could you answer my brother's phone call!" Lola saw the call record. Since they were the only two in the room, no one could have answered the phone except Harry!
Harry frowned. "What did you just call me?" He threw himself on her again, making her look him in the eyes.
"It's all your fault. What did you say to my brother?" After locking the phone screen, Lola pinched the man in his waist.
"I told him that you're tired and fall asleep, " He answered honestly, looking at the little woman who was covering her face with her hands. The way she pinched his waist was so adorable.
After a long time…
Lola rushed out of the bathroom after having a quick wash. She picked up her handbag and ran downstairs. "Harry, you badass, you must compensate me for the attendance bonus!"
While thumping down the stairs, she saw Mrs. Du!
"Mrs. Du!" She shouted with joy. Mrs. Du was also pleasantly surprised to hear Lola's voice.
"Lola, you are here!" Lola gave Mrs. Du a big hug. "Mrs. Du, let's catch up some another day. I'm going to be late!"
"Have some breakfast first!" Holding the breakfast tray, Mrs. Du watched Lola wave and leave. Mrs. Du shook her head. But on a second thought, she felt content that Lola had spent the night in the villa with the young master. It seemed that the two people still have a chance. Great!
Though driving at a high speed all the way, Lola was still ten minutes late.
On the first floor, the front desk clerks stared at Lola with surprise. She smiled at them with embarrassment and walked into the elevator.
This deputy CEO had taken office for a few months and was late for work. Who else would have the guts to do? However, nobody could blame her, because it was the man who seduced her that was to be blamed!
The man, however, was still leisurely enjoying a breakfast at home. He didn't need to punch cards, nor did he need to explain to anyone even if he was late. How enviable was that! Well, one day, she would become the acting CEO and he would have to give way! She would! Lola devoted herself to a new goal from today!
At noon, Lola received a text message. "Come upstairs, now."
Most of the colleagues were having lunch at the moment. The CEO office was only one floor upstairs.
When Lola got upstairs, she saw Joey in the secretary division. "Miss Li, Boss Si is waiting for you in the office." Joey uttered a few words, which he would said every time Lola came.
Lola nodded at him and pushed the office door open.
Harry was sitting on the sofa, watching his cell phone. Several take-away dishes were placed on the desk. "Come on, lunch is ready!"
As she hadn't eaten breakfast in the morning, she was actually hungry at the moment. Lola hesitated and sat down.
Harry opened the meal box and picked up some dishes for her.
