The lobby on the first floor was empty. Lola Li took the elevator directly to the 28th floor where the president office was located. As soon as she got off the elevator, she heard Mike Qi informing the media, "I will soon be engaged to Miss Sara, daughter of the president of Fu Group. Thanks for your best wishes. Thank you!"
He will soon... be engaged to Miss Sara... daughter of the president of Fu Group! Sara? Her bestie over the past 11 years?
Another bomb was dropped on Lola Li. Zoe Lu, behind her, turned furious after hearing those words and intended to beat him.
Lola plucked hard at his hem of clothes and shook her head at him, as she wanted to learn what Mike Qi would continue to say.
"Mr. Qi, it is said that you are dating Carl Li's daughter, Lola. Now you are going to be engaged to Miss Sara. Can you explain that?"
Mike Qi, being the General Manager of Li Group at the young age of 24, was listed among the most desirable golden bachelors in the upper class. Not to mention, his gentle, learned and refined appearance made him more popular to girls. That was also the reason why Lola liked him in the first place, wasn't it?
"Yes, I was dating her. But it's been a long time since we broke up." Mike Qi answered the media, with a consistent gentle facial expression and a soft tone.
What he said, however, pierced Lola's heart like a sharp knife.
She suddenly recalled that she felt uncomfortable right after drinking the glass of red wine that Mike handed her, and it was Sara that walked her upstairs.
"Hahaha..." Sneer came from behind, which was so loud that everyone in the hall can hear it, when the reporters took close-ups of Mike Qi.
All of them looked back curiously and found that the woman who sneered loudly looked familiar.
"Lola Li! She is Lola Li! Carl Li's beloved daughter!" An experienced reporter recognized Lola Li. Just then, all reporters ran to her, and Lola was closely surrounded.
Mike's face didn't look very well when he saw Lola. Why was she here in the company? Where had she been after drinking the red wine? Mike didn't love her at all. What he desires was her body, and he was so close to get that last night. But he could not find her after greeting Carl Li, wasting such a good chance. Damn it!
"Miss Li, why do you laugh?"
"Miss Li, do you know anything about President Li?"
"Why did you break up with General Manager Qi?"
The reporters kept raising questions. Lola Li looked at nothing but Mike Qi's displeased face, staring at him as if he was her enemy.
He made no explanation. Could she draw a conclusion that Mike Qi and his father robbed her father's company, abandoned her who has nothing at all then, and was going to be betrothed to her best friend?
She could not blame on anyone else, because Zoe had warned her that Sara was not pure-minded and she ignored it.
"What do you guys want to know? I will tell you anything. Why did we break up? Well, do you know what I nicknamed Mike Qi? Three-Sec Qi! Yes, he lasts short in bed. An apple of Sodom. And Sara Fu, a home wrecker, had an affair with Three-Sec Qi when we were still together. Now they join hands to frame up my dad and occupy his company. I will be at daggers drawn with them from this moment on!"
