"Mr. CEO!" Joey prepared for the worst, took a deep breath and then got in the CEO office.
Harry was still upset about what happened yesterday when Joey showed up with a giggle. Poor Joey naturally became Harry's punching bag as before.
"What's funny? Share with me."
"Eh... Boss, are you sure you wanna hear it?" Feeling awkward, Joey coughed and thought. Then he reported obediently, "I am not happy. On the contrary, I feel sad. It is said that General Manager went back to her office with tears yesterday. Everyone in the office were cursing the jerk that let their Goddess down!" Joey lowered his voice when he mumbled the word "jerk", but Harry still got it.
Speaking of what happened yesterday, Harry pulled a long face immediately. "You got time to stroll to the Design Department. How idle you are! How about that you treat all staff to coffee this noon in the name of the company. No refund!"
The last two words devastated Joey. No refund! SL Group had more than one thousand employees in A Country. That was to say, he had to pay over ten thousand dollars.
"Boss?..." Joey wanted to beg for mercy. But he dared not. Because from what he knew of his Boss, begging would only incur severer punishment. So he just curled his lower lip and then went out for coffee.
Seeing Joey walking out of the office, Harry stood up from his executive chair restlessly, haunted by Lola's sad expression yesterday.
In the kindergarten.
Lola and Joseph were holding Nicole's hands and running with her. "Come on, Nicole!" Nicole got a lot of little fans, who were cheering for her.
Suddenly, Joseph scooped Nicole up and then raced to the end, put their rag doll into the box there.
The game rule was: Kids and parents make a rag doll together and then put it into the box at the end. The fastest one will be the winner.
The moment Nicole put their rag doll into the box, she burst into a scream jubilantly, "Yeah! We are the first!"
Kids were envious of Nicole to have such a beautiful mom and a handsome uncle. When Joseph showed up at first, many parents recognized him. Young mothers surged towards him excitedly.
They kept following Joseph around until a teacher came out to maintain order. Looking at sparks of worship in their wives' eyes, fathers were jealous of Joseph. But they had no other way, as they knew they can't beat that handsome super star.
"Nicole, where is your daddy? Why is it that your uncle come today?" A kid asked Nicole, who was holding the prize excitedly, in a tender voice.
"Because my daddy goes abroad. He earned a lot of money there for me and mommy." Nicole replied naively. Hearing Nicole's childish voice, Lola almost cried.
"Nicole, your daddy just said he won't live with mommy yesterday. He even takes mommy for an evil woman." Lola thought sadly.
From then on, Lola swore she would try her best to prevent Harry and Nicole from meeting each other. She also started planning to find Nicole a daddy, who would embrace her and treat her well.
The school was over earlier than before that day so Lola and Joseph took Nicole to an amusement park for fun before they went home.
In D City.
Wendy was going home on Lola's motorcycle. When she approached the shabby building she lived in, she saw many of her neighbors gathering around a fancy car and discussing with each other.
Seeing Wendy, many of them scooted to her, "Wendy, who is that man?"
