The profit was quiet higher than the cheque amount on the table, since Harry paid the tax out of his own pocket and it was the net profit.
Staring at the card, Lola Li fell into silence and couldn't help feeling sad.
"It's under your name and the password is unchanged." What did he mean?
"Has he ever been a little nostalgic about their marriage or the days free from Yolanda?"
Her eyes turned red. She pushed his hand away and headed outside.
All his calling and threatening failed to stop her resolute steps.
Harry was so furious that he slapped the card on the table. He was startled to find that Lola Li became a woman of thought and ideas who brew all the things in mind secretly.
Glimpsing those examination reports suddenly, Harry looked much more pleasant. Lighting a cigarette, he called Joey in through internal line.
Joey came in, standing in front of his table, "Boss." As Boss Li didn't look good, Joey wondered what happened just now?
Joey knew the card which was pushed towards him. It was opened in the name of Lola Li four years ago and all the profits of the Blue Island Mall would be transferred into it. What was it for to take the card out now?
"Go give it to her." He said, puffing thick smoke. Deep down, he thought it belonged to her.
Joey nodded. Harry continued, "If she doesn't take it, then you tell her that she will frequently come for medical fees."
"Medical fees?" A question mark hung over the seeming threat all his way to Lola Li's as he couldn't understand the code.
He withdraw the puzzling until he knocked on the door of the deputy CEO office.
He passed the card to her. "This is Mr. Si's order."
Looking at the card, Lola Li had no intention to accept. Joey repeated exactly what Harry said when she was about to open her mouth.
She flushed and pocketed the card from his hand.
"Please send my gratitude to him." Joey aptly described to Harry how she gnashed the teeth in anger.
Harry seems in a good mood and gave Joey a smile that was rarely seen.
Joey came back to his seat with a relief. What a king and a queen! His work, truth be told, was to bridge the two.
Off work on time, Lola Li planned to keep Nicole a good company.
Touching the card in the pocket accidentally before getting on the car, she thought of Harry's threat again.
Well! She wasn't freaked out a bit by the amount of money as she knew he was loaded, instead she went straight to the shopping mall.
After buying plenty for Nicole, She stopped at the men's store, took a razor and water cup with her since she would pay with Harry's card.
With shopping bags in her hands, she came back home only to find the presence of grandpa, Nicole and Mrs. Yuan.
"Lola, you get your pay today?" asked Landon Li, curiously looking at his granddaughter who carried loads of stuff.
Since the pay day was at the end of the month, Lola Li fooled him with a gloating face, "I got my bonus."
Landon Li bought it without suspicion. He was so fond of the purple sand teapot bought by her granddaughter that he couldn't take his hands off it. He loved Pu'er tea which was best brewed by the purple sand teapot.
