"You should trust me. Why should I help our competitor? Nonsense, right?" Lola explained to Harry in anxiety.
Looking at the worried-looking Lola, Harry asked, "Are you still angry about what happened last night? You do this to vent your anger? Do you know this formula is not just about a deal worth millions of dollars? Do you know how many days and nights Mia has spent on it?" This was the only reason that came to Harry's mind. In view of Lola's temper, he thought it's possible for her to do this kind of thing and get him into trouble.
Lola stared at Harry. She was so disappointed and got nothing to say anymore. What was she like on earth in his mind? She couldn't believe Harry didn't trust her at all.
There was a knock on the door at that moment. "Boss, Jack is here." It was Joey talking outside the door.
Then, a man walked into the meeting room. That was the man who delivered the message to Lola during lunch time.
"Justin, tell them what was going on and what did you told me this nooning." Lola recognized him immediately. She thought only Justin could save her at that point. As long as Justin told Harry what was really going on, misunderstanding would be cleared up naturally.
"Who are you? Why do you take me here?" That man threw questions and looked at Lola in deep confusion. It looked like it was his first time seeing Lola.
Harry looked at that man up and down and enlarged his face on the video, then turned the screen to him. "You'd better tell me the truth or I don't know what will happen to you!" Hearing that cold threat, Jack became panicky at once.
"OK, Boss Si. I will tell you!" Jack seemed in great fear. He glimpsed Lola for a second. Harry captured his reaction clearly.
"The thing is that Miss Li told me she was willing to sell me a mask formula and asked me to take it this nooning." Then, Jack turned to Lola who was in great shock and said in a pathetic way, "Miss Li, I don't want this formula anymore. Please spare me."
"Stop!" Harry's tone was horrifyingly cold.
"Boss Si, please spare me. I have kids and elderly parents to raise and support." Jack was so scared and almost knelt down. He said, "Miss Li, I don't want this anymore. Please take it back." Then Jack fished a paper out from his pocket. That was exactly the formula Heidi lost.
Looking at the formula, Lola fell into deep astonishment and confusion. Who set her up on earth? Harry thought Lola's astonishment was because of being disclosed.
"Lola, I am so disappointed in you. I didn't expect you would be so irrational, and did this to our company!" Harry said after long silence. Harry's words made Lola feel hopeless. She didn't know how to protest her innocence.
Harry leant back in his chair with arms crossed on the lower abdomen and legs resting on the another chair. His eyes were closed tightly. Lola had let him down twice since last night.
He couldn't believe Lola had drowned Naughty, pushed Yolanda into the swimming pool, and even betrayed the company for revenge. "Do you have to hit back?''
Facing with Harry's reproof, Lola lost words. "Harry, It's not like that. I didn't betray our company. Someone is framing me!" She finally opened her mouth after long silence.
"Someone is framing you? Who? How could I trust you? The evidence is solid." Harry roared at his wife, as he kicked the computer onto the floor with enormous rage.
The screen flashed twice and went completely black. Lola was scared as it was the first time she had seen her husband lose temper.
Not only Lola, Joey, who was standing outside the meeting room, flinched. It was also the first time that he had seen his emotionless CEO lose temper.
Lola was sure that except Yolanda Mo, Sara Fu and Mike Qi, nobody would do that to her. She took a deep breath and said, "Last night, Yolanda Mo was framing me. Today, maybe it is Mike Qi and Sara Fu behind this..."
