"I will come back to you next month for I am busy this month." Instead, he waited for three months.
"Harry, I am just meeting with a director. I will be fine." She turned a deaf ear to his persuasion. Consequently, she was drugged by the director. Even though the Mo family had swayed the final verdict and sentenced the director to death, what had happened would never be changed.
"Harry, this award ceremony means a lot to me. I must be present!" However, she left for a long time, during which time she was even caught on camera hugging with other male celebrities.
...
These were all because of her so-called dream. Well, her dream had come true. She had become an international super star. But wasn't she even busier than before?
Feeling agitated, Harry opened a bottle of liquor and drank slowly.
Lola finally decided to find Harry, as it was better to talk with him face to face.
But when she opened the door of the study, she was greeted by pungent smells of liquor and cigarette. All the windows in the room were closed and the light was dusky.
The smoke-filled room made Lola lightly cough several times. Harry was still seated on the sofa, drinking white liquor.
"Harry, what are you doing?" Lola had never seen Harry so down with grief.
He cast a cold glance at her with his bloodshot eyes, which made Lola feel somewhat hurt.
"Stop drinking. Go take a shower!" She grabbed the bottle from his hand and placed it on the desk. Then she tried to take the cigarette in his mouth, but he managed to shun away with a sudden turn of his head.
Lola was choked to tears when he blew a smoke ring onto her face.
"Harry, what are you doing. Cough..." Harry stubbed out the cigarette and leaned on the sofa with his eyes closed.
Lola did not know what to do, but to urge him, "Shower!" She pulled him with great efforts, but to no avail. Instead, by only a gentle pull, Harry drew her into his arms.
"Harry..."
"Hush... Don't say anything. Stay in my arms for a while." Hearing that, Lola did not move any more. Harry hugged the woman in his arms closely, smelling her unique aroma and telling himself that this woman, unlike
"Let's go and register our marriage on your birthday!"
Marrying Daniel should have been her best birthday gift, but everything was ruined the moment when she caught him sleeping with another woman on the day before her birthday.
"He's going to marry that woman! She... was my best friend!"
Upon seeing Lola, Joey greeted her hurriedly.
"Madam, you are here."
"Yes! Is your boss still busy?" Glancing at the closed door of the CEO office, she thought it would be better to knock at the door first, for fear that she might walk in on some embarrassing scenes like last time...
Instead of opening the door for her, Joey simply said: "Madame, the boss said that you may enter the office directly when you arrive here."
Lola then pushed the door open and found that Harry was still busy with his work, as was expected.
Seeing her come in, he did not say anything, but also did not make Lola wait too long. Completing the work promptly, he turned off the computer and went to the garage with her.
"Well, shall we go and buy a gift? This was her first time to see his mother after all. A gift was necessary.
"All right!"
Harry drove to a mall nearby, where Lola selected a pair of gold earrings inlaid with jade as a gift to her future mother-in-law. With this elegant and classy gift, Lola went to the garage arm in arm with Harry happily.
"Your... mother must be very beautiful!" In the car, Lola looked at the extremely handsome Harry carefully and felt that she must be right!
"She is also your mother. When you see her... try not to think too much." After a pause, Harry held her left hand with his right hand at once.
Lola felt a little bit puzzled. Try not to think too much? She was her mother-in-law...
