Lola tried to look at Harry invitingly, but she also knew that nothing can change the situation now. He would not stay.
"There's no time to waste. Let's begin now!" He took out the folders that he prepared and put them in front of her, "I did everything that you need to do for the next few days of the turnover. I fixed and polished every corner of the system so that you don't have to stress yourself in cleaning them up. I've already marked how to do them. Take a look. Ask me if you have any questions."
He sat down on the sofa opposite her, his eyes fixed on her. She looked at the papers and turned her gaze towards him.
"I know none of them."
Lola was being disobedient. She looked at Harry with contempt and he looked back with sympathy.
"Take it seriously. Read the medical document first." He took a red folder and placed it in front of Lola.
Lola read the label of the folder in front of her but didn't open it. "Boss Si, could you please just explain all of them to me?"
Without the contempt and hatred in her eyes, Lola asked him in a serious tone.
If he would really leave, she wanted him to explain the matters one by one slowly, so that she could have more time to be with him. Every minute she could have with him was precious. He wouldn't leave her so soon, would he?
Harry took the folder and began to explain it to her.
It may have looked like Lola was paying attention but she didn't listen to him. As Harry was explaining seriously, Lola dreamily stared at him and listened to his sexy and deep voice. Suddenly, she felt some tears streaming down her face.
She requested that he explain everything and he agreed without saying anything. He still loved her, right?
At the thought of this, Lola got up from the sofa and walked towards Harry. Confused, Harry twitched his eyebrows.
Intimately sitting on his lap, Lola put her hands around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder.
Harry hesitated but he gave in and irresistibly put his hands around her waist.
"Harry, don't marry her. I don't want to let you go." She whispered in his ear in a familiar sweetness, making Harry sad.
He did want to marry Lola. However, it was something that he couldn't change, no matter what he does.
Holding back his feelings, he pushed Lola away. "You have so much to catch up on. Let's continue working."
Lola became mad. She emphatically dropped the folder to the ground. "I don't want to work. Harry, don't you have any feelings for me? You still love me, right?" She pouted like a child and looked at him.
"No, I don't have any feelings for you anymore. Are you satisfied now? Let's get back to work." Only he knew that what he said was a lie.
"Harry, tell me why Yolanda is better than me. What does she have that I don't? Tell me!" She looked up at the ceiling and tried to stop her tears from falling.
Harry said nothing. He took out a cigarette and smoked.
"Harry, if you love her dearly, why did you have to give me hope? Why did you have to enter Nicole's life only to leave both of us?" Why couldn't the universe just let them be together?
As Harry didn't answer her, Lola became very heartbroken and burst into tears. She rushed over to him and hit him in his arms. "You scum! Scum..."
Harry hugged her with one hand and took half of the cigarette out from his mouth. He didn't stop her.
She said he was scum. Maybe she was right. He was engaged, but he gave her hopes and let her down. He deserved this.
Lola got tired and rested in his arms, sobbing. Harry held her tightly.
It was quiet in the office. Only her voice could be heard. After a long time, Harry felt it was weird.
He looked down at Lola, who was already curled up in his arms. She had closed her eyes and had not stopped crying.
Harry sighed. Perhaps she got tired of what happened last night. She looked so drunk when she got out of the bar. Harry lifted her up by her waist and put her onto the bed in the lounge.
Lola slept sound. Harry sat at the bedside, feeling satisfied. As long as he could see her, he would be pleased.
She looked so beautiful whenever she was at peace. But her eyes had swelled so much because of constant crying. It made him feel so sorry and wished that he could be the only one hurting.
