Cosset You Forever novel Chapter 167

Everyone turned to her instantly. Lola got her mind back and said, "It's fine. I think we can build scenic spots without removing any local facilities or residences."

She paused to look over the acquisition plans before adding, "For the plant resources, I suggest we regularly harvest in bulk. Don't give the others a chance. Thank you!"

When she finished, everyone talked over each other for a while. They nodded in agreement. "Miss Li's suggestion is good!" Jeremy took the lead in supporting her ideas.

"Yes, I think it's great."

More people followed suit. Harry announced, "All right, add Miss Li's advice into the plan. I've contacted the government of Echo Bay, and I'm assigning Jeremy to brainstorm with the managers of the Design and Planning departments. I need a new design in a week!"

Jeremy nodded eagerly. "Yes, sir!"

Jeremy was flattered that CEO had put him in charge of such an important project.

"Don't forget to coordinate with the head of the town. It's wise to involve the locals in the construction. As to other aspects, Jeremy and the Design and Planning department managers can come over my office for a detailed discussion."

Harry stood up with a folder in hand. "Dismissed."

All the executives filed out, and Lola was the last to leave the meeting room.

The Project Manager role should've gone to her or Julie Tan. It didn't make sense.

Was CEO afraid that either women couldn't do it? Or did he think they weren't as good as men?

Bullshit!

A sudden pain in her foot interrupted her thoughts. Hissing in pain, she held onto the handrail for support.

Damn! This was the first time Lola had ever worn stilettos, and she twisted her ankle.

Harry glanced back before stepping into the elevator. He saw Lola holding onto the handrail in pain.

On instinct, he wanted to approach her. But he hesitated before finally entering the elevator.

Lola gently moved her ankle to check how bad it was. Feeling the pain start to fade, she decided it wasn't serious. She took a few careful steps, and nothing happened.

By this time, Lola was left alone in the conference floor. She moved her ankle again before walking to the elevator.

No more stilettos for me…

At lunchtime.

Lola set a meeting at a nearby coffee shop.

The stranger she had an appointment with was dressed in a grey shirt and was about 1.9 meters tall. He was handsome, but looked a bit feminine. He stood up upon seeing Lola, eyes alight in interest.

Lola was very attractive. He couldn't help fantasizing how great she must be in bed. He'd love to pay for a night with her.

At his hungry stare, Lola looked at him in disgust. Not wanting to spend any more time than necessary with him, she immediately got down to business.

She took out a check for 20, 000 and pushed it towards the man. "You'll get another 20, 000 after the job is done."

The man looked at the check hesitantly. He could make 40, 000 from this. Easy money! But the target was International Queen Yolanda! He could end up getting murdered by her bodyguard or someone else.

Lola sensed his doubt and reassured him, "Besides the terrifying man with her, she won't be accompanied by anyone else during her dress fitting. Don't worry!"
