Trapped with the CEO Chapter 149 Such a Flirty Man

Lola collected her thoughts and said to Angie, who was very concerned, "Mother, I told him that Nicole is my child with Thomas Herren. I have no idea why I said so. Am I pus.h.i.+ng him away?"

Lola was deeply confused, so she could not help but speak her mind to Angie.

Angie and Harold looked at each other, and then Harold went upstairs quietly with a frown.

Angie let Lola sit with her on the sofa. "Why did you choose to work for SL in the first place?" The question was right to the point.

It reminded Lola of her original motivation. Yes, that was because she wanted to see Harry again.

"You still love him, but you know that he can't give you what you want. On the contrary, President Herren comes to you in the right place at the right time. He can give you what you want. That's why you are confused." Angie's words punched Lola's heart. It was true, but what should she do then?

Angie seemed to perceive Lola's unspoken question, "To be honest, they are both very decent young men. Normally, Nicole should not be parted with her biological father. But considering all the entanglements and intricacy in your relations.h.i.+p, it might be better to let it be in case you and Nicole get hurt again. Whatever will be will be. If he is not meant to be with you, your efforts won't make any difference. Time will give the final answer."

These words gave Lola much comfort and helped her decide that her priority now was Nicole. As for Harry, she would leave it at G.o.d's disposal.

She would fight for whatever belonged to her, but she would not push herself too hard for what didn't.

As for Thomas Herren, she had two months to consider their relations.h.i.+p, hadn't she?

If it finally worked out between she and Harry, she would tell Thomas Herren not to wait for her in advance.

...

Lola put Nicole on her own bed and cuddled her tightly.

Nicole was the person she cherished the most in her life. She would not allow anybody to take her away. Anybody!

It became a sleepless night for her.

The next day, Lola sighed at the dark circles under her eyes and put on light makeup before leaving for company.

At the morning briefing. When Lola walked into the meeting room with a professional smile, everyone was present except Harry.

Given the busy schedule, CEO didn't have to attend every briefing, but Harry had always shown up. Today, however, Harry had been late for 10 minutes. Maybe he would skip this one.

Lola made some quick adjustment and started to preside over the meeting.

When the meeting was about to end, the door was suddenly opened. Harry, dressed in suits, strode in, with more intimidating manner.

The bruise at the corner of his mouth surprised everyone. What happened to him?

Without even looking at anyone, Harry opened a folder. "I'll be in charge of the cooperation with LU today. Miss Tan, get the materials prepared and go with me. Besides, the Design Department will now be in the charge of Miss Tan as well. Jeremy, consult with Miss Tan if needed. Over!"

What the h.e.l.l! He just transferred a very competent staff from her!

Other people followed Harry and left the meeting room. Only Lola was left pondering.

The negotiation with LU was her task, but now Harry took it over. Was he planning to make her a mere figurehead?

Lola shook her head and decided to wait and see.

On her way back to office, she saw Harry and Julie Tan reading from a folder and discussing.

Lola pa.s.sed by them without a word, pretending to read her own files. Meanwhile she heard Julie Tan talking in her coquettish voice. "Boss Si, how did you get hurt?"

... A bitter smile curved Lola's lips at the thought.

Such a flirty man!

Lola started to immerse herself in work immediately after she was back in office, so that she would not think about all the mess.

After Joey knocked at the door and went in, Harry only took a quick look at him and then continued to work.

"Boss Si, I just got the call from the police." Harry recalled the incident that night, so he let Joey continue.

Joey wiped away his cold sweat. "All the gangsters were killed except one in coma..."

People behind this must be quite powerful since they could do away with the suspects in jail. So that only survivor was the last witness.

"I see. Keep me informed!" Then Harry just went back to his work.

The idea that Lola might have manipulated this flashed across his mind, but he soon dispelled the thought.

Lola had been dedicating herself to work recently. Her busy schedule left her no time to think of Harry, other than the morning briefing when she had to meet him.

At the morning briefing.

Harry walked into the meeting room and started the meeting at once. "The former endorser is not qualified. I need a replacement! Yolanda Mo and Joseph Li, the popular 'screen couple' nowadays, will be appropriate. But Joseph Li hasn't signed contracts with any entertainment company yet, so Miss Li, you go negotiate with him."

Lola went blank the moment her name was mentioned. She looked at Harry and wonder why he just called her name.

Oh wait, he asked her to talk with Joseph about the endors.e.m.e.nt. "No problem!' She responded decidedly.

"As for Yolanda Mo..." Before Harry finished his speech, Julie Tan cut in. "Yolanda is your fiancee, right? She will not disagree." Then she covered her mouth and laughed.

Julie's words aroused many discussions. Although many of them knew about the relations.h.i.+p between Harry and Yolanda, it was still surprising to hear someone bringing it up.

Only Lola, expressionless, was writing something there, as if it had nothing to do with her.

Harry gave Julie a quick glance and looked at Lola. "Yolanda will arrive in A Country tomorrow. Miss Li will also be in charge of this."

He asked her to negotiate with Yolanda Mo? Lola wondered if she could restrain revealing that hypocritical b.i.t.c.h.

"Boss Si, I'm afraid I can't." Those executives around all gasped. How dare she object to CEO's order?

"Yes, you can. Hand over what you are busy with to Miss Tan, and focus on the endors.e.m.e.nt." Harry didn't give her any chance to say no.

"I have been working on two important projects for half a month. It won't be easy to hand over them to Miss Tan right now. Please reconsider, Boss Si. And as for the cooperation with Joseph, I promise it will go on smoothly." Others were amazed at Lola's apparent anger, as Lola rarely lost her temper. She was angry, because he not only asked her to negotiate with Yolanda, but also ignored all her endeavors on the two projects and took them away from her all of a sudden.
