When did Joey become a gossiper? Lola gave him a glare, pretending to be angry. "He is not here!" Then she took the bag from his hands and shut the door!
Joey understood what was going on, smiled and left.
Inside the bag were the clothes that Harry had asked Joey to bring to the hotel, and Lola wanted to change the clothes before the man came out.
While she was taking off her bathrobe, the bathroom door was opened. Lola looked at the man in consternation.
What a good timing! He was absolutely intentional. Lola took a deep breath and casually put on the clothes.
At the moment, every second was a torment for Harry.
He gazed at the sensual curve of the woman. He guessed that she must be waiting for him to come out and get changed then.
Watching her put on a light yellow coat, Harry wiped his hair with a towel. In fact, his physical reaction had already betrayed himself.
After she had changed clothes, Lola threw the wet clothes directly into the trash, and left the hotel without saying a word.
Harry felt that he was such a gentleman at the moment because he had controlled himself in face of an attractive woman.
However, only he himself knew how hard he tried to hold back the desire.
"Lola, you bring me pain today." Harry thought, "I will make you suffer more next time!"
He took out the expensive suit in the bag, put it on and left the hotel.
At eight pm.
In Storm Nightclub.
Lola parked her car in front of the nightclub and walked in a pair of 3-inch black high heels.
She heard that Harry and several bosses were gathering here this evening. It was Joey who tipped her off through WeChat—God knows why! He was really not afraid of Harry slashing his months of bonus.
After minutes' of pondering, Lola went home to change her clothes, and then came to Storm Nightclub.
When Lola showed up in the private room, wearing a smokey makeup and a long black jacket, everyone of the design department was boiling with amazement.
"Oh my God! Miss Li, how admirable you are to put on makeup especially for this party!"
"Yes, Boss Li, you usually don't wear heavy makeup."
"Boss Li, come, everyone is waiting for you, you must drink three glasses of beer for being late!"
The senior employees had already known that Lola was a people person when she worked in the design department. So, though Lola had been promoted, they would invite her when they had gatherings.
As it wasn't in the company, the young hunks of the design department began to urge Lola to drink.
Lola did not disappoint them. After Jeremy poured a glass of beer for her, she took a small sip and swallowed it all in one breath.
"Oh, Boss Li, you're so cool!"
"Well, I'm late. It's my fault. I'm sorry, guys." Lola picked up the second glass of beer, when Jeremy stood up and spoke out loud.
"Boss Li is usually very busy. It's normal to come late. Two glasses are enough!"
Everyone echoed, "Yes, yes, two glasses."
"Yeah!"
Lola looked at the over thirty colleagues with joy. "Okay, thank you. I'll finish this drink and everybody have fun. It's my treat tonight!"
"Oh!" The whole room began to boil again and there were all kinds of compliments for Lola.
"Boss Li, our Goddess, we love you so much!"
"Yes. Boss Li, sit here and eat something!"
......
Lola sat down between two female colleagues and listened as two big boys were singing a love song in the middle of the room. The others were laughing their heads off.
After the love song, a young hunk named Joshua, who was an intern of the design department, took the stage.
He had white skin, thick knife-shaped eyebrows, trendy single-fold eyelids, and natural purple-red thin lips, which made him a Prince Charming for many girls of the company!
He picked Eason Chan's "Because of Love" and spoke to Lola, holding the microphone in his hand. "Can I sing with you?"
Joshua's affectionate invitation caused a stir in the private room. The people around him began to whistle.
A colleague pushed Lola and said, "Boss Li, take the stage and compete with Joshua!"
Lola didn't want to sing, but she didn't want to disappoint them, either. She stood up.
With a round of squeal and cheer, Lola rubbed her ears and took the microphone from Joshua.
When the music started, Joshua sang the beginning of the song. "Here's an old CD / Listen to our love back then..."
His voice was low and nice. The only fly in the ointment was a touch of immaturity.
Lola cleared her throat and began to sing. "I can no longer sing that kind of lyrics / Just hearing it I blush and hide…"
Her voice was soft and sweet-sounding.
Harry, who was walking past the 333 Room, paused upon hearing the female voice. Why did it feel like Lola was singing?
Harry thought he must have misheard, so he strode into the 366 Room nearby.
The 366 Room was also filled with the sound of singing. Each of the company CEOs was accompanied by a beautiful young lady. Harry sat beside Edith Lin, the CEO of Chuangda Group, who was his date on the occasion.
As she had drunk a few glasses of Baijiu, Edith turned flushed and felt a little dizzy.
When she saw Harry coming back from the men's room, she leaned her head slightly on his shoulder.
Though he wanted to push her away, Harry had no intention of making her embarrassed for they were out tonight to have fun.
The CEO next to Harry chatted with him for a moment about business affairs and then started to get fresh with the beautie by his side.
"Boss Si, will your fiancee in D City come here?" Edith asked Harry after the two men finished talking. Edith, a 32-year-old woman, had a fair-faced husband who lived off her.
As a successful career woman, she actually hoped that her husband could be a courageous and domineering man like Harry.
However, her husband, who was good-for-nothing, would always rely on her, which made her exhausted.
As her wrinkles were covered by heavy makeup, she looked like a young woman of around twenty-seven years old.
When Yolanda was spoken of, Harry's heart sank, and he forced a mysterious smile. He leant towards Edith and spit a word with a frivolous tone. "No."
Edith smelled the masculine scent of the man, her heart pounding and her face reddening.
Encouraged, she reached her hands to Harry's arm and whispered in his ear seductively. "Boss Si, how could you be alone?"
How could the man not understand what she was hinting at?
Maybe because he hadn't been so relaxed for a long time, Harry didn't let her down. "What do you think, then?" But his real intent was to leave here with a suitable excuse.
