"All right, I see. Have a good time with mommy. Daddy will handle this issue." With these words, Harry ended the call with Nicole. He took out another cigarette and inhaled the smoke as he fell into his deep thoughts.
Lola planned to marry Thomas Herren? He wouldn't just sit and let it happen!
He would never ever allow her to marry another man!
He quickly made a phone call to Thomas to inform him that he was in possession of some nasty evidence and he could easily use them against Lola. He threatened him so he wouldn't continue with the wedding.
Thomas challenged him with a scornful laugh. "Harry Si, well played! You are the president of the SL Group. Don't you forget that. Why would you lower your standard and pull such lousy and mean trick?"
Harry laughed back. He would do anything to get Lola back. He didn't even care about his image.
"If you ignore my warnings and insist on marrying her, then I have to destroy her. You know I can do that, Thomas."
Thomas said nothing but simply hung up the call.
Harry smirked as he dialed Joey's number. He gave a short and straightforward order to his assistant: "Send someone to watch over Thomas. If anything happens, inform me immediately." He was confident that Thomas had some weak points. Everyone has weaknesses.
Everyone did. Just like himself, Lola and Nicole were his weaknesses.
Meanwhile, Lola waited on Thomas for days after Nicole has gone back to his father. Thomas never showed up to meet her family.
Lola was distressed so she bought a direct flight to Crown Province. She planned to talk to Thomas about it.
She went straight from the airport to Thomas' apartment only to find out that he was not at home.
She unlocked the door through her own fingerprints. Thomas has set it up for her so she could always enter the room. She thought it would be nice to wait for him in his apartment.
The apartment was tidy. Someone had cleaned it carefully. She pushed her old bedroom door open. Everything still looked the same.
Lola thought for a moment and decided to call Thomas.
Thomas was on his way to another apartment of his when he received her call. After knowing that she was now here in Crown Province, he turned the car around and drove directly to her.
He hadn't seen her for a long time. Apart from the time he was caught up in busy work, she was constantly on his mind. He never thought that his emotions invested a lot on Lola.
The moment he stepped into the apartment, she greeted him with a big lovely smile. This made him feel at home. Thomas walked up towards her and hugged her with all his heart and soul.
Lola was overwhelmed by his passion. Without giving her further room to think nor talk, he lowered his head and sealed her soft red lips with a passionate kiss.
She was about to push him away when he cradled her up and carried her into the bedroom. She was still shy about doing this...
Lying next to her, he sweetly whispered in her ears, "Lola, I missed you so much." With these words, he embraced her tightly into his chest.
Despite this, Lola decisively stopped his move at the last minute.
Thomas moaned in disappointment as he let her off. With closed eyes, he laid next to her and wondered. He laid his hand on her waist and asked earnestly, "Lola, do you really want to marry me?"
Lola paused. Then she nodded firmly, "Yes. I was waiting for you to meet my family and discuss the wedding. You never came. I'm disappointed, Thomas." They would have plenty of intimacy time after the wedding! He should have been more patient!
Thomas carefully observed her face and said, "Does Harry have something that he could use against you? Tell me honestly, Lola."
Lola was utterly shocked at his words. She stared at him in horror. How did he find out?
Did Harry say something to him? No wonder she waited in vain in A Country and Thomas never came for her. Harry must have done something to mess things up!
This bitter thought made Lola bite her lips. She felt she was imprisoned by Harry.
"Thomas... I am sorry but I am in his hands. Maybe.... We should already break up... I don't want to cause you complications and troubles." She had all the intention to settle down with him but Harry would just not allow it to happen. She should have seen this coming.
Thomas hugged her tightly in his arms. Her words hurt him so much that he wanted to kill Harry in the nastiest way possible! "Whatever evidence he has, as long as you do not mind... I... don't mind either. "
Lola bitterly smiled at his promise. But how could she not care about what Harry has?
