Cosset You Forever novel Chapter 220

Soon enough, Lola's WeChat app stopped working.

...

She cast it away in distress. It may have crashed because of the barrage of messages that she received. It would be wiser to concentrate on her work first.

Around noon Lola turned her phone on again to search for a nearby restaurant for her lunch. She clicked open the Weibo app and was surprised of what she saw.

The headline was Thomas Herren's resignation. The internet was full of its coverage. It became a nationwide issue.

Lola's attention was caught immediately. She stopped chewing her food as she quickly browsed through the news. It shocked her that Thomas Herren had officially resigned from his post today and was now taking a back seat and working on some minor governmental issues. It was really true. She actually thought that Thomas was just bluffing...

But he really quit his job! It stirred the world that he just suddenly decided to resign from the position of the president.

Major news platforms were reporting the matter in details.

Many citizens felt greatly sorry that their handsome and kind president decided to fade out of the stage. Thomas Herren was not just a physical specimen, he was also efficient in what he does.

Right at that very moment, the beloved former president was dialing Lola's number.

He couldn't help but think about her all the time. Without even noticing himself, he already dialed her number. His heart still screamed for Lola. All these years...

"How about going to the mall tonight? Will that be okay for you?" His tone was casual and joyful. Lola could sense his smile just by hearing his voice.

She thought about it and happily accepted his offer. "Sure. But I might be finishing late today. There's a lot of work to do." She had a spoonful of her lunch, a plate of paella, which she ordered just moments ago.

This Thomas, he just wouldn't stop chasing after her! Why always her? He could always win anybody's heart. She needed to have a word with him tonight. She needed to stop this. She didn't want to waste his time...

"It's okay, I will come and pick you up." Thomas sat in the armchair on his balcony. He had never been this relaxed. His job always forced him to be alert and mindful of everything.

Lola finished the call by confirming that she will indeed go with him. Then she quickly ate up the remaining food and returned to her company.

As she was about to enter the building, she ran into a woman.

Lola examined the lady in curiosity as she didn't know why she would stop in front of her like that. The chubby woman was in her thirties and was wearing a piece of dark blue dress. She had a pair of white wedges on her feet and a matching bag of the same color in her hands.

The woman looked sad at first but her eyes were shining with excitement when she recognized Lola. Lola was very famous in the area.

"Hello, sorry to bother you. I know you are very busy. But are you Nicole's mother?" Marry Li asked Lola as she gazed at her with glee. Lola was very elegant and she dressed in style. She could tell that Nicole inherited her taste for sophistication.

Nicole? Was she the mother of that boy? She must be the one then.

Lola nodded: "How can I help you?" She had a hunch what the woman was after but she still asked her politely. She didn't want to sound rude.

Marry's tears instantly streamed down her face. She cried and begged, "Oh, please! I apologize to you. Could you please tell Nicole's dad to spare my husband? We are very sorry for causing inconvenience to you and your daughter." Her husband was fired by his company for some random reason the other day. What's worse, most major companies didn't wish to hire him at all. Harry Si was the only person who can influence companies that much. He was very powerful.

Marry was not stupid. She figured out pretty soon what was going on.

But she dared not to tell her husband the truth. She had to find Lola in private to solve the issue. It was their fault and she needed to take an initiative. She waited outside the school for several days. It turned out that Nicole's grandparents or uncle would always accompany Nicole every day. She never got the chance to meet Nicole's mother.

Eventually, she found out an information from the headmaster that Nicole's mother was the female acting CEO of the famous SL group. Marry was utterly shocked.

She had never been this sorry as to cross and argue with someone like her - a lady from the famed Li family!

She tried to find Lola in her office. But the security wouldn't let her in. She thought the only way to meet Lola was to bump right into her and talked to her in front of the office building.
