Chapter 123
Trapped with the CEO
Chapter 123 These Are All From Your Daddy
The profit was quiet higher than the cheque amount on the table, since Harry paid the tax out of his own pocket and it was the net profit.
Staring at the card, Lola Li fell into silence and couldn't help feeling sad.
"It's under your name and the password is unchanged." What did he mean?
"Has he ever been a little nostalgic about their marriage or the days free from Yolanda?"
Her eyes turned red. She pushed his hand away and headed outside.
All his calling and threatening failed to stop her resolute steps.
Harry was so furious that he slapped the card on the table. He was startled to find that Lola Li became a woman of thought and ideas who brew all the things in mind secretly.
Glimpsing those examination reports suddenly, Harry looked much more pleasant. Lighting a cigarette, he called Joey in through internal line.
Joey came in, standing in front of his table, "Boss." As Boss Li didn't look good, Joey wondered what happened just now?
Joey knew the card which was pushed towards him. It was opened in the name of Lola Li four years ago and all the profits of the Blue Island Mall would be transferred into it. What was it for to take the card out now?
"Go give it to her." He said, puffing thick smoke. Deep down, he thought it belonged to her.
Joey nodded. Harry continued, "If she doesn't take it, then you tell her that she will frequently come for medical fees."
"Medical fees?" A question mark hung over the seeming threat all his way to Lola Li's as he couldn't understand the code.
He withdraw the puzzling until he knocked on the door of the deputy CEO office.
He passed the card to her. "This is Mr. Si's order."
Looking at the card, Lola Li had no intention to accept. Joey repeated exactly what Harry said when she was about to open her mouth.
She flushed and pocketed the card from his hand.
"Please send my gratitude to him." Joey aptly discribed to Harry how she gnashed the teeth in anger.
Harry seems in a good mood and gave Joey a smile that was rarely seen.
Joey came back to his seat with a relief. What a king and a queen! His work, truth be told, was to bridge the two.
Off work on time, Lola Li planned to keep Nicole a good company.
Touching the card in the pocket accidentally before getting on the car, she thought of Harry's threat again.
Well! She wasn't freaked out a bit by the amount of money as she knew he was loaded, instead she went straight to the shopping mall.
After buying plenty for Nicole, She stopped at the men's store, took a razor and water cup with her since she would pay with Harry's card.
With shopping bags in her hands, she came back home only to find the presence of grandpa, Nicole and Mrs. Yuan.
"Lola, you get your pay today?" asked Landon Li, curiously looking at his granddaughter who carried loads of stuff.
Since the pay day was at the end of the month, Lola Li fooled him with a gloating face, "I got my bonus."
Landon Li bought it without suspicion. He was so fond of the purple sand teapot bought by her granddaughter that he couldn't take his hands off it. He loved Pu'er tea which was best brewed by the purple sand teapot.
He had his own collection of dozens of the purple sand teapots, all in good maintainance and preservation.
Eyeing her smiling grandpa, Lola Li thought to herself, "It's from your former grandson-in-law."
"Is there any present for me, mommy?" Nicole put aside the doll in hand and started to rummage the handbag.
Lola Li smiled. Harry's money should definitely be spent on his biological daughter.
"Of course, mommy bought you beautiful dresses and toys." Lola took out a few dresses of different colors, and waved them around.
She had intended to buy two, but girl clothes were adorable that she paid for a few more.
Nicole acted like a spoiled child as she couldn't wait to get changed. After saying goodbye to Landon Li who was still fondling the teapot, Lola Li carried her upstairs.
Lola Li helped her daughter put on a pink-purple piece dress. Seeing the reflection in the mirror, Nicole was overjoyed.
"I am so pretty, mommy! How could I be this pretty?" Wordless, Lola Li after hearing her daughter's narcissistic self-appreciation, wondered how she learned the self-boasting at such a young age.
She pondered for a minute and decided to tell Nicole the truth. She remarked, "Sweetie, these are all from your dady."
Surprises unveiled on Nicole's face. She held Lola Li around the neck and asked, "When will dady come home, mommy?" The clothes from her dad obviously uplifted her.
Lola Li's utmost fear was exactly what Nicole just asked. She replied, "It'll take some time. But daddy has earned a lot of money, right? You see."
She picked up Nicole in her arms, trying to please her. She had no idea how long it would take, either.
At dinnertime, Nicole showed off her dear treasure to her grandparents. "Grandma, Grandpa, daddy bought me lots of clothes."
The Lis stopped eating in amazement for a second and looked at Lola Li who never expected her daughter to spout all on the spot.
Embarrassed, Lola nodded to her parents. "Sort of."
Her roundabout response upset the elders. "Did he know the existence of Nicole?" Landon Li asked in a composed voice.
Staring at her lovely daughter, Lola Li shook her head and said, "I haven't told him yet. Not now." It was very likely that Nicole would be taken from her after the truth came out.
Harold Li exchanged eyes with his wife and continued to eat.
After the dinner, Angie followed Lola to Nicole's room. Crap! Rounds of interrogations were coming!
As Lola unpacked Nicole's toy, Angie Gong opened her mouth, "What's it now?"
Lola Li sighed, "Nothing. It's just.... After all these years, we met again."
Throwing a glance at the calm daughter, she directly asked, "Will you two get reunited?"
"Yes, I want to." She answered simply and directly.
Angie Gong reflected, that would be the best for both her daughter and grandaughter.
"Is he here? What is he doing? Why not invite him home some day?" Like other parents, Angie Gong felt like getting to the bottom of it.
Mother got so much to worry about. Lola Li resignedly said, "He's got a company here. I will bring him home some other day."
She didn't spill the whole story as she was so afraid that her parents might run their way straight to Harry's company.
Angie Gong who was clothing the doll had a quick look at Lola, knowing she was lying or hiding something as her daughter looked ill at ease.
