After Li Family went bankrupt, Wendy Yu, who treated work as her life, didn't go to work in a couple of days. She, together with Zoe, assisted in the funeral of Lola's grandma and other affairs.
On the day when Lola disappeared, Wendy Yu merely went home to get changed. But she came back, only to find Lola moved out of the villa, and she failed to contact Lola in the following days. Zoe asked his friends to look for her, but in vain. Wendy Yu had been worried that she may commit suicide since then. When Wendy saw Lola in the cafe, safe and sound, she hugged her tightly.
"Wendy, I'm sorry for making you worry." Lola said with tears in her eyes, as she knew how Wendy felt at that moment. She was so lucky that she still had two real friends. So lucky.
"Where have you been? I was so afraid...afraid that..." Wendy Yu just could not take the three words out of her mouth.
"You silly old fool! I won't do that, as I still have dad and you." In fact, she kinda wanted to take her own life on the day her father left. But she fainted later. So it had to be dropped.
"Tell me where you've been. How were you doing? I saw your Weibo post when I was on my way here. You are married?" Wendy Yu wiped her tears, calmed down, and sat opposite to Lola.
Wendy Yu really felt sorry for Lola. It was well known to everyone in D City that she once lived a very happy and glamorous life.
Lola Li and Lillian Ye, her deadly foe, were two recognized beauties in the upper class in D City. Lola Li was outgoing and vivacious, while Lillian Ye was cold and elegant.
They had countless pursuers. As is known to all, Lola was once like a moon surrounded by a myriad of stars. Only God knew why she fell in love with Mike, who was a bastard indeed.
"I'm doing great these days. And I truly get married. Bless me!" Lola forced a smile, as she wanted to look happy.
Then Lola told Wendy what happened in the past few days briefly. When speaking of Harry, she mentioned, "He is really good to me. But I just cannot figure out why."
Wendy Yu frowned while listening. It was dramatical. Was it a blessing in disguise to encounter that man? "Lola, you made a careless decision. Though you spent first night together, you are strangers to each other, right?"
This had occurred to Lola, too. But she had been driven to the wall, hadn't she?
They chatted for a long time. It was getting dark outside, and they went to have hot pot together. Lola was so happy. Before they separated, Lola said, "Where do you work now? I want to work with you."
"I am selling clothes in a mall now. You...forget it!" Wendy looked at Lola who was still well-dressed, thinking that she'd better not work there. The salary was not low indeed. But no pain no gain.
"Why? I will go to find you there tomorrow or later. Remember to ask your supervisor first to check if he is hiring someone." Lola drove Wendy home, and didn't leave until she saw Wendy walk upstairs.
Lola took out her phone to check the time. It was nine o'clock. She made a call to Zoe.
"See you at the same place in SOHO Bar." Lola hung up the phone, before Zoe spoke. They could have a talk when they met.
In the SOHO Bar.
The nightlife had just begun. So the bar was not bustling with guests yet. Under the dim and flickering light, several people were passionately dancing to the music with strong drumbeats and clash of heavy metal.
