Two minutes later, she did find a golden chain of keys, with which she used to enter the lounge. The room was very tidy and the bedding was newly-put. Everything in the room felt so relaxing.
Lola was so tired that she immediately fell into sleep once she was in bed. All the events leading up to this day had drained all the energy in her.
As a result, she missed all the calls from Harry.
Two o'clock in the morning.
Someone was knocking at the door of the lounge, which was locked from the inside. Already sound asleep, Lola only turned over when she heard the noise and fell asleep again.
"Bang! Bang!" Nagged by the loud combination of the knocking and the ringing of her phone, Lola finally woke up.
Who would be knocking here so late at night? Was it Harry? She checked the incoming call.
Then she abruptly picked up the call. "Open the door." It was him!
With disheveled hair and confused eyes, Lola looked at the dark shadow of a man outside the door.
"How can I help you, Boss Si? It's quite late now, you know." Being woken up from sleep was not a pleasant experience. It was something that she never liked.
But Harry found her look of confusion extremely adorable. He couldn't reach her through the phone repeatedly, so he was worried that she might be in trouble again. The unfortunate happenings they experienced had also caused a bit of a trauma in him.
Despite the fact that Sara Fu had been arrested and sentenced to death, the Li Family was actually put at a bigger risk as more people knew about the old pocket watch after the kidnapping. The value of the pocket watch had been reported in every channel of the radio and television.
"Nothing. Go back to sleep! I'm very sorry for bothering you." He walked in and sat on the couch. His heart ached when he saw Lola throwing herself back to bed. She has been so worn out. He wished he could have her tiredness and pain so that she would not be feeling exhausted or hurt anymore.
He shouldn't have asked her to be acting CEO in the first place. However, he could still give her a hand. Several competent assistants could be assigned to help her..
Lola forced herself to stay awake and see what Harry would do, but she fell asleep again not before long.
When she woke up again, it was already 7 in the morning. Her laptop was on the desk, along with some folders.
She picked up one of them and found it had been thoroughly examined, and had been marked with detailed comments of revision and had been carefully approved.
His comments, written in an elegant style, were always right to the point. They revealed all the hidden risk and flaws she had not noticed. Harry had given practical suggestions for each of them, which meant that it only took Harry few hours to cope with her workload for a whole week...
Was he that good? He even stayed up all night to finish her job. He loved her that much.
When she was about to open the door after tidying up, Joey pushed it open from the outside and slowly walked in.
He showed Lola the bag in his hand. There were several lunchboxes in it.
"Miss Li, Boss Si just left and he told me to bring you some breakfast! He is so sweet on you!" Actually, it was a tragic story for Joey. He waited downstairs for the whole night after receiving Boss's call at 2 o'clock in the morning. He had not slept since then.
Lola was stupefied for a moment, and then she nodded. "Thanks, Joey. It's so kind of you! You're so sweet too!"
In the lunchboxes, there were steamed creamy bun, deep-fried dough stick with special spice sauce and preserved egg and minced pork porridge. All looked very warm and appetizing.
"It's my pleasure. I'll see you later then, Miss Li." Finally! He could go back home and catch some sleep now!
After Joey left, Lola took the breakfast to the CEO office.
It was early in the morning, so no one was at work yet. She went back to the lounge again, got her laptop and folders, and cleared the room up.
