Those days in Echo Bay left an indelible impression on Lola. It carried her blissful memory. No strife and no scheme. She was surrounded by pure happiness.
After returning to A Country, Harry went to the office soon. In order to evade the unnecessary rumors, Lola spent another day with Nicole at home and went to the company the next day.
In SL Group.
Lola walked towards the elevator after parking her Maserati at the parking lot.
Someone squeezed into door before it closed. Lola was surprised as it was the first day when she came back to work. "Good morning, Mr. Si!" In a pink shirt and pink suit, Lola greeted him with a professional smile.
Eyes glistening with delight, Harry pinned her against the wall and lowered his head to kiss her on the red lips.
...
Was Boss Si in the mood in the early morning?
The elevator tinkled. The man unwillingly freed her and licked his lips. Lola walked out of the elevator, "Have a nice day!"
Flushed, she gave him a glare, bit her lower lip and walked to the office.
Seeing the coming Lola, Leo greeted, "Miss Li, you have a guest waiting in the office."
A guest? Who would come this early for her? Puzzled, Lola nodded to Leo.
After she pushed the door open, an elegant lady in a rose red coat on the sofa came into sight. Her long black hair was worn in a bun on the top. Her aloofness and arrogance was quite similar to the man in the elevator!
This guest was not welcome. Lola smiled, "Aunt, long time no see."
Rose Mu stood up and looked her up and down. "Long time no see! You still know the tricks to hook up with men!"
Lola deemed her as a well-mannered lady if she kept silent. However, once she opened her mouth, her elegance was nowhere to be found.
Luckily, she was no longer her mother-in-law, so there was no need to please her.
"Aunt, thanks to your daughter-in-law-to-be, I'm single now! Hook up with men? Your son? He badgered me at first!" Lola said with a proud smile.
Rose studied the more mature and graceful woman in front of her again. She did change a lot in the past few years.
Humming a merry tune, Joseph wearing sunglasses walked out of the elevator and headed towards Deputy CEO's office.
Since the door was opened, he could clearly see who were there. Wasn't she mother's opponent in the university, Rose Mu? What was she doing here?
Hook up with men? Damn! She must come here to make trouble! As he knew, Rose My was born arrogant and was spoiled by her husband after getting married.
He immediately called his mother to save the day.
In Li's Manor.
Thomas Herren came to the manor in sunglasses. Angie, who was going to take Nicole to the army, was surprised to see him.
"President Herren!" She greeted respectfully.
Thomas Herren took off the sunglasses, and nodded to Angie. "May I take Nicole out for some fun this morning?"
His request put Angie in a quandary. She was in the dark about what happened between him and her daughter and she knew it was inappropriate.
As Angie was thinking, the phone rang. She took out her phone, "What, Joseph?"
"Mother, do you remember Rose Mu? Your schoolmate." Joseph ran to the corner and kept his voice down.
Of course she remembered Rose Mu, her biggest opponent in the college. "What's the matter?"
"Put on your mighty army uniform, call in your soldiers and come to Lola's company. She is picking on my sister!" Unaware of what was going on inside, Joseph knew his sister wouldn't get the upper hand.
"Rose Mu is picking on your sis? Why can't she quit rocking the boat?" Angie and Rose competed against each other in the college for three years. After graduation, Rose married someone in C Country and her son was really something! What was she up to? She lost to Angie in the college and now went to trouble her daughter?
Angie flew into a fury. After hanging up the phone, she entrusted Thomas Herren to take care of Nicole. "President Herren, Lola needs me now. Enjoy yourself with Nicole!"
As the head of the state, he must be protected by bodyguards no matter where he went. Nicole would be safe with him. She rushed upstairs, put on the uniform and cap and rushed downstairs.
Thomas Herren and Nicole were getting on well in the living room. When he watched she coming downstairs, he said, "Let me drive you there!"
"Thank you. But I don't want to bother you." How could he disgrace himself to drive her there? That was not a good idea!
Thomas Herren smiled, put on his sunglasses and held up Nicole. "Let's go! Lola needs help, doesn't she?"
Since it was urgent, Angie agreed. She got into Thomas Herren's car and headed to SL Group.
In SL Group.
Rose walked around in Lola's office, "Since you're so young, you must have engaged in bunch of dishonest practices to get the Deputy CEO title."
She throw a contemptuous glance at Lola who was preparing the meeting files. Lola replied perfunctorily, "Sorry to disappoint you! I never used the underhand means."
However, Lola wondered was it a dishonest practice to sleep with her son?
Rose put on a scornful smile and stepped towards her. "Lola Li, if you leave SL Group now, I'll save your face; otherwise, I will humiliate you in front of all the others."
Lola smiled, "Aunt, why should I leave SL Group? My father, Harold Li, will not allow me to do so."
Her father, Harold Li? What happened?
Whatever! "You are not leaving, aren't you?" She asked for confirmation.
"Yes! Unless the company will give me a reasonable reason!" She scanned the phone screen to check the time. The morning briefing would begin within five minutes.
Rose gave her a sideways glance and said, "Shameless!" Then she walked out.
Lola clearly knew that Rose would not let her go so easily.
However, there was nothing to worry about. "Come what may, I am not afraid!"
She walked outside after checking out the files again. Just when she stepped out of the office, she was grabbed.
"What are you doing here? Looking for trouble?" Frightened, Lola looked back only to find the sneaky Joseph.
Watching Rose go into the elevator, Joseph asked, "Did you piss her off?"
She rolled her eyes at Joseph and said, "Don't poke your nose into my business! Hurry up! You're coming to the meeting, aren't you?"
As the studio shot was over, Joseph came to negotiate the next step.
They went to the conference room together. When Lola pushed the door open, she saw Rose Mu sitting on her seat and looking at her with a smug smile.
Yolanda sat beside her like a goddess. All the other executives remained silent.
Now she was alive to the fact that the two woman was going to make trouble here.
