Cosset You Forever

Chapter 253 Taking Care of Your Image

"Miss Li, don't let me say this twice!" His tone was very cold and stern. He was watching her with danger in his eyes.

Lola just stood in silence. If she followed him to his office, could there be any chance that she can explain her side? Ho-ho. Harry was someone of sole authority.

"Mr. Si, there is no way you can get everything. Since you already have a woman, please don't provoke other people and destroy their lives!" As nobody was around, Lola was not worried of being overheard.

Harry went a few steps forward, and Lola also immediately backed down a few while wearily looking at the man approaching her. She was kind of tired of all these.

"Miss Li, what are you afraid of?" He took a few steps forward again, as she was trying to go backward. She was already leaning on the wall. She was pinned.

Nervously, she took a deep breath. "Nothing. If Mr. Si has anything to say, then I'll go to your office." Her voice was trembling. She surrendered to him. She was not sure whether Harry would try to strangle her. She was doing this only for safety.

Harry pursed his lips and led the way to his office.

But he had no idea that Lola wished to kick him and let him tumble down the stairs. How could such a cruel bastard exist in this world? He had all kinds of beautiful women at his hands, but he was still scheming bad things for his ex-wife.

In the CEO Office

Knowing that she was in a dangerous place, Lola didn't want to think more. After all, she knew what was going to happen if she retaliated.

A file was threw on the desk beside Lola. "See what your subordinates had done, and you, as the acting CEO, was kept from knowing anything!"

The man arrogantly sat down on the sofa, his two long legs twisting together and his two arms stretching on the back.

Lola took the file with doubt in her eyes. Joshua, who in the design department, stole the design blueprint and sold it to others! The picture of the transaction as well as the surveillance were very clear. It was Joshua for sure. She couldn't believe it!

Susan Du, the HR manager, also took bribes from the employees and had self-willingly adjusted the promotion and demotion of these people.

And the director of the accounting department took the overtime wage into her own pocket......

The evidences followed one after another and she was all convinced. But, about Joshua, she couldn't believe... He was such a nice and honest person. "Joshua is not that kind of person. He won't do such a ridiculous thing!"

Just like Joseph, Joshua was outgoing, humorous, emotional and forthright. He really wouldn't do such ugly thing!

After Harry heard that Lola was defending the man, his face turned pale.

"We will not talk about that this afternoon as I will still investigate when I come back, okay?" Whether it was true or not, it would have a negative influence on Joshua's image.

"Miss Li, are you asking me to let your man off the hook?" The cold voice of Harry made Lola frown in disappointment.

Her man? If she had any man, was it not him, Harry Si? "Mr. Si, please watch your words. How can you prove that Joshua is indeed my lover? He is one of my subordinates, and I always do my best to protect my people."

Their dialogue made the big office be filled with hatred and disgust.

"Then, how can you talk to me in such tone? It seems to be that you were so desperate." Well done! Harry, you finally got angry because of another man.

Looking at the his sullen face, Lola took a deep breath. She really wanted to press this man down to the sofa and give him a sound thrashing! But she didn't want this argument to further escalate. She wanted to let him know though that she is not a sheep that could be slaughtered by anyone.

"Harry, I believe him. I've known him for years. What can make you decide not to pester him anymore?"

Pester him? "Lola, what do you mean by saying this?" He suddenly stood up from the sofa and strode to her, his face a little ferocious.

"It was... I think you may have made a mistake. I didn't mean anything else... Ah!" She stepped back, but her high heels stumbled on the carpet and she was about to fall backward.

Lola was afraid and she tried to seize his sleeve, but got nothing but air!

Harry quickly took a step and leaned his body forward. He held her waist and took her into his arm.

Lola bumped into the man's arm defenselessly, and her forehead hurt with pain.

She rubbed her forehead and it felt like her face just got twisted in pain.

Harry puffed gently on her forehead. The two people were just holding each other like this. The good smell of his breath made Lola forget the pain.

She naively raised her head up to look at the man, and his gentle face entranced her.

How could it possible that he was suddenly so gentle and comforting to her? In her eyes, he hated her; he was still very angry at her; he wanted to make her suffer; he was still at odds with her about the child. And without her, he looked for all kinds of women outside.

But he couldn't just let her be hurt. Not in front of him. Lola pushed him away and kept a certain distance from him.

"Mr. Si, I hope you could be unbiased about the matter of Joshua." She brought back the previous topic to hide her embarrassment.

Joshua again! "Be unbiased? Well. I can if..."

... She knew what he meant even without him saying anything. She could see it in his eyes.

"No, I won't! I will not do it this time!" She refused in a straightforward manner. He had so many beautiful girls around him, and still he wanted to mess with her! He was really a bastard!

The softness on Harry's face disappeared, and his expression became more imposing when he heard of her refusal. At last, a vicious smile swept from his face.

"Miss Li, have you been thinking too much? I mean if he can show evidence that can save him, I can consider your suggestion. Otherwise, the surveillance camera and the transaction document prove that he is the suspect." NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

The man slowly approached Lola again, and watched her face turn pale in fear.

It was just like a facial makeup show...

She thought about calling Joshua immediately to see how he would respond.

She took out her phone but it was taken away as soon as she finished the unlocking.

She looked very puzzled as Harry was now locking her cellphone and taking it to his own pocket.

"I have some account to settle with you now! You pay attention!" Harry said in a flat voice.

Settle some account? Wasn't this the business of the financial department? How come that she was involved?

"Mr. Si, I..."

Suddenly, the man put his hand on her face lifted her chin to force her to look at him. They stared at each other's eyes.

Her little hands instantly grabbed his hand to push him away. But he tightened his grip even more. She couldn't do anything now.

"Lola, you dare to buy clothes for another man and hug each other behind my back! You are my daughter's mother, for God's sake!" He said this while clenching his teeth in bitter hatred. Lola was dumbfounded.

How could he know? Was it because... A thought flashed in her mind, and she knew that the annoying Yolanda told everything to him.

Was she too happy these days? It didn't bother her to find something to cause trouble to Lola.

And the hug? "When did I embrace with Herren?" Confused, she looked blankly at him.

"And the most important thing is...what does it matter to you, anyway?"

He, himself, was hitching with other girls. How could he criticize her and control her emotions and actions?

The man sneered in disgust. "You are the mother of my daughter so you must watch your image!" His reason of the right and wrong nearly made Lola crazy.

How could there be such an unreasonable man in this world?

"Okay. I'm the mother of your daughter, but you are the father of my daughter too! How come I don't see you taking care of your image?" She returned the statement to him. She just couldn't predict this guy! While the magistrate were free to burn down houses, the common people were forbidden to light lamps! The world was really unfair.
