When they arrived home that night, Lola sent her daughter straight to sleep. After that, she walked into the bathroom and had a shower. She decided to sleep in Nicole's room tonight, and so she locked the bedroom's door.
In his study, Harry was having conversation over the phone with Eason. "...You shameless bastard, the dress is one of my master pieces, and you've ruined it. How desperate were you? Why can't you undress her with your manners instead?"
He was actually counting on keeping the dress after Lola wore it so that he could display it at other fashion exhibitions.
Harry blew a smoke ring into the air as he replied with a plain voice, "That's none of your business."
"..." Eason was utterly speechless at his indifference. He quickly added, "What about the set of diamond jewelry? I paid a big sum of money and brought them all the way from England. Why did you let her wear them at the party? Didn't you think that it was a little bit too much for the occasion? What's wrong with you? And by the way, what happened to my diamonds?" He finally spoke all of his concerns to him.
"I lost them." Harry remembered when he snatched them from Eason's shop. But now, he had absolutely no idea about their current whereabouts. He found Eason's question ridiculous; Harry had a way more important issue that needed attending to.
"..." Eason was furious at his answer. He shouted into the phone with a high pitched voice, "I want full compensation for everything. No, you must pay me back a tenfold price for what you lost!"
Harry put out his cigarette in the ashtray, and said, "Give me a figure then."
"100 billion!" Eason was so angry at Harry that he made up a random number. But, somehow, it was not impossible for Harry to pay out the sum he had randomly asked for.
He replied with a scornful voice, "You think I'm some kind of idiot, don't you?" His voice was dead-cold serious.
When he heard his icy tone, Eason stopped bluffing instantly, and said, "Fine, fine. We can settle with 50 million!" He felt broken because he knew that with this sum he would still be in a significant loss of profit. But, in the end, Eason considered that he could do with that, because Harry was, after all, his best friend! And what a best friend he was, indeed!
They finally agreed on the 50 million figure. Before ending the call, they also arranged for a time to meet up later.
Harry stepped out of the study and walked straight to Nicole's room. Not surprised at all, he noticed that the door had been locked by Lola from the inside.
But he wasn't in a hurry anyway. Harry returned to his suite and had a nice and relaxing shower there. Wrapped in a bath towel, he walked back to Nicole's room and opened the door with the spare key from his study.
At just about the same time, Lola came out of the bathroom naked. She had nothing on her because she thought only her and her sleeping daughter were in the room.
The moment she saw Harry, she totally freaked out. The thought of waking Nicole up made her stifle her scream as she quickly ran back to the bathroom.
Harry was greatly amused at her sudden reaction and he followed her into the bathroom.
"Get out!" she cried. Panicked, she tried to cover herself up with a bunch of towels.
"Fine. I will get out then." He then carried her out of the bathroom in his arms and walked out of the child's room.
As soon as they were out of Nicole's room, Lola opened her mouth to protest. "I said you need to get out. What are you also carrying me out for?" She glanced at him with her big beautiful eyes.
Harry opened the door of his suite and threw her on to the bed. As he leaned down towards her face, he said, "Do you want your pajamas or not?"
Lola bit her bottom lip because she really wanted to shout in his face the word "whatever". However, she controlled herself, and simply said, "Of course I do."
Harry went to the wardrobe and opened one of the cabinets, and Lola could see that he had already bought her a lot of clothes.
All of those beautiful gowns were all bought for her. He had been waiting for her diligently all this time.
Harry came back with a sexy black night gown in his hands. He put it next to her, and said, "I can help you dress it." He pointed to the gown with a profound smile on his lips.
"No need. Thank you for your kindness!" Lola gave him a fake smile, but deep down inside her, she had cursed him countless times already.
She quickly put the night gown on her underneath the quilt. After that, Lola sat on the bed with a relieved heart. However, she felt that something was still not right.
When she looked down... The clothes had barely covered her body!
She cast a cold glance at Harry, who was grinning with amusement. She then furiously fired questions at him. "Are you running out of money?" she cried. "Why didn't you add more cloth to the gown? A little bit more material would cost you more, wouldn't it? Why couldn't you buy a more conventional gown?"
He was trying to mess with her deliberately!
