Since Harry's arrival, SL Group's business in A Country was seeing significant growth in all aspects, which earned the admiration of the staff.
Twenty minutes later, the meeting was over and Lola irritably sat alone in the conference room.
After a while, she slowly calmed down. "Whatever!" she thought. "Come what may, I am not afraid!"
She gathered up the folders on the table and walked out.
When she was just out of the door, she saw Harry holding the arm of Julie, who seemed to have sprained her ankle in high heels.
She sneered upon seeing them. One who had watched a soap opera would know that this woman was very likely intentional.
Pretending not to see the two people, Lola went straight past them.
She overheard Julie's coquettish voice. "Boss Si, my foot really hurts..."
Lola smiled with sarcasm, which was noticed by Harry.
"Lola, send Miss Tan to the hospital." With that, he shoved Julie into Lola's arms.
Being bumped into, Lola took a step back. The two women clung to each other, frozen in shock.
Looking at Harry, who was ready to leave, Lola took Julie's wrist and walked a few steps to stop the man.
Glaring into his cold eyes, Lola pulled Julie forward and pushed her back into his arms.
"Boss Si, I would rather let you be the hero!" Julie threw her arms around the man's waist as if she would fall down.
"He is awesome!" thought Julie, "He could make a good bedmate! But the bite on his lips is so obvious!"
As a strong smell of perfume assailed Harry's nostrils, he was annoyed. "Lola! Stop there!"
"Why do I have to listen to you?" Lola thought. She trotted to the elevator and pressed the button without hesitation.
Seeing that Lola went away and Harry wore a ghastly expression, Julie quickly stood to her feet. "My ankle seems to be okay. Boss Si, I will not bother you!"
Years of business experience had molded her a shrewd business women who knew her way around people. It was an essential skill.
Holding the folder, Julie also hastened to leave.
Clenching his fists in pants pockets, Harry wondered whether he had shown too much mercy to Lola.
In less than ten minutes, the fact that Harry had bite mark on his lips swept through the company.
Of course, the question of who did it had become the focus of intense discussion.
After Lola returned to her office, she patted on her chest to ease her racing heartbeat, thinking that she had definitely pissed Harry off again just now.
She had to stay away from him for the next few days.
Lola took a look at the clock and was ready to get off work. Thinking of the call from Thomas yesterday, she dropped her work ahead of time.
When she just picked up her stuff, her phone rang—it was Thomas.
"I'm off work now, ready to go. Where are you?" She grabbed her handbag, carried it over her shoulder, and turned off all the lights.
She walked down the hallway to the elevator. When she saw Leo was still working, she waved goodbye to him.
Leo nodded and he was almost off work!
Lola put her cell phone into her handbag and walked towards the roadside. She walked faster when she saw the limo and the license plate number Thomas had told her.
