At Crescent Spring Villa.
Eight pm.
Lola rang the villa's doorbell. The man, in a gray night-robe, opened the door holding a glass of high-grade red wine.
The woman concealed her clean and beautiful face under the garish smoky makeup and red lipstick.
She dressed herself in a black sports suit and black sneakers.
She was definitely intentional!
Sulkiness flickered in Harry's eyes. A woman should thank god for being invited by Harry.
"Go away!" The man spit out two words. He really had no appetite for her.
The woman secretly smiled, feeling complacent for getting what she wanted! She would admire his courage if he got fresh with her even though she was dressed up like this!
The woman turned and walked back. "Stop!" The cold voice of the man came again.
She looked back with a smile. "What's up, Boss Si? Didn't you ask me to go away?"
"I changed my mind." Was it hard to understand? Were there any barriers to communication between the two people?
Lola pulled a face in an instant and her ghostly expression was clearly seen by Harry.
Did she hate him? Thinking of this possibility, Harry put his red wine glass on the front porch.
He pulled her into the villa. Hate him? He did not allow it!
The interior of the villa was decorated in the same style as No. 8 Pearl Spring. Harry was absolutely a neat freak for the house was clean and spotless. And white was the dominant color.
If you looked around this villa, which covered a few thousand square feet, you would notice that the wallpaper, the sofas, the chandeliers and the carpets were all white. Only the cabinets, the wine racks, the tables and the like would be painted in light gray or black.
"Bang!" Harry slammed the villa door shut. Hearing the loud sound, Lola almost leaped into the air with fear.
Looking at his gloomy face, Lola wondered whether he was angry.
Why should he be angry anyway? She was angry indeed!
Lola got rid of the man's hand, took off her shoes, and walked barefoot towards the living room.
The floor of the villa was covered with soft wool carpets, so there was no need to worry about feeling cold on the feet.
Harry was really rich to have every villa of him decorated so luxuriously!
Watching the woman walking to the living room directly, Harry followed her with a pleased expression on his face.
He sat across from her and lazily leaned back upon the sofa, peering at the woman's every move.
Lola, however, did not move about, but gave a curious look at the furnishings.
As the man did not speak for a long time, she broke the silence first.
"Boss Si, you can talk about work now!" She looked at the man on the sofa, who revealed a domineering air all the time.
Harry stared the woman in the face and said, "Look at your face, wash it, will you? I'm not in the mood to talk about work!"
He tapped the armrest with his fingers, waiting for the woman to wash the "stain" on her face.
Lola pouted. She would not wash, for she did not want to waste her two hours of makeup time.
She smiled faintly. "Boss Si, anything else? I'll take leave then!"
Dare to reject him! Good job! Lola.
