Cosset You Forever novel Chapter 310

Ever since that day, Lola's cafe was in a steady decline.

Fortunately, she bought the property with full cash already so she did not need to pay rent to anyone. She only needed to worry about paying salaries to the staff on time.

At that moment, she was doing okay. She still had some savings from her work at SL Group. She also had money from him... when he paid her for the medical expenses.

Lola was able to use the money to pay the salaries of her crew.

Her business had been at a loss for two consecutive months. One day, Lola wearily came to the store. All the worries and anxieties have exhausted her.

She looked around and noticed that the first floor had four occupied tables, the best business within the last two months.

She would also notice a young man named Minmin Quan working tirelessly in the cafe. His diligence caught her attention.

She always saw him running around fetching stuff for the customers. When the cafe was not busy, he would do cleaning or simply just browse through the books on the shelves.

Lola observed him for days and found him very hardworking. He looked sincere and polite. Many customers even praised him for his outstanding service.

There was another female staff working in the cafe. She was a really young-looking girl. Lola specifically checked her ID and confirmed that she was already 21.

The girl was also hardworking. She even paid more attention to details than Minmin.

Lola paid 3000 to her staff as basic salary. With bonuses and incentives, they could earn more than 4000. Lola also provided meals and accommodation for her staff. The whole payment package was indeed very decent and reasonable.

Her staff were loyal to her despite the decline of the business. It was because their boss has taken care of them well.

Lola thought to herself that she should pay them another 1000 as extra bonus this month.

1000 might not be much to her as she lived a lavish life. Her single dress would easily cost more than 1000.

But for her staff, the sum equaled half a month of their work and maybe even one month's living cost.

Lola sat on the swing as she browsed through her Weibo updates. One picture posted by Cherry caught her attention. It was a lovely picture of a heart and a ring.

She did not tell who the ring was from. But underneath her post, a lot of people had sent their congratulations to her and Harry.

The ring was from a diamond brand belonging to the SL Group.

Lola had no doubt that Harry bought it for Cherry.

The ring reminded Lola of her own, the one Harry gave to her when he proposed. Even though they weren't together anymore, she had kept the ring in the bottom drawer of her room.

Just then, someone called out to her and pulled her back to reality. "Hey sis, I am here!" Joseph came in with a warm and excited greeting.

Lola was slightly surprised as she gazed at Joseph and Lillian!

"Hey! You're so lost in your thoughts again. What were you thinking about?" Lillian's baby bump was getting bigger. She peeped at Lola's computer and noticed the picture with the diamond ring in it. Whose ring was that?

Half a minute later, Lola finally pulled herself out of her wild thoughts. She turned off the laptop and stood up from the swing.

She helped Lillian sit comfortably in the chair next to her and just said, "You need to be careful when you are carrying a child. Avoid running around. It might harm the child." As Wendy was due to labor in the next two days, the family had sent her to the maternity ward already. Lola will go to the hospital to keep her accompanied that evening.

Joseph was a little bit upset when he saw Lola only talk to his wife. He deliberately put on a stiff face and interrupted them. "I am full of superstar power now. How come you did not notice me at all?"

Lola cast a glance at her brother. Behind him, some of the cafe staff were discussing and giggling at him. He was always so popular with the girls.

"You are of no good. Your wife is pregnant but you are seldom home to accompany her. Take a leave from work already, Joseph."

Lillian smiled gracefully at her words. Joseph instantly defended himself. "I am busy earning money. For the sake of the child, I am trying to make more money. We have to buy diapers and stuff, right?" He hugged Lillian on her shoulder to further show his love. "Don't listen to my sister. I love you very much."
