Lola nodded and closed her eyes. A tear drop rolled down her cheeks upon hearing Thomas’s footsteps receding into the distance.
She was done with Harry. There was no need to humiliate herself. So, let it go!
Lola slept till night, and when she woke up, a young girl walked in holding a tray.
“Miss, you wake up.” The young girl looked about the same age as her. When she saw that Lola woke up, she put the tray on the table, ran over, and helped her up gently.
“Well, what time is it now?” Lola was alright except for her sore throat and painful chest.
“Over seven o’clock, Miss. Please have some soup I just made.” She brought the soup over, placed it at the bedside, and prepared to spoon the soup to her.
“Thank you, I’ll do it myself!” Feeling embarrassed, Lola took over the bowl, which almost fell off her shaking hands. Fortunately, the soup did not spill out for the bowl was not full.
“It’s okay, Miss. You are not feeling well, let me feed you.” The young girl smiled joyfully, which made Lola feel comfortable.
“You can call me Lola. What’s your name?” Lola asked curiously as the girl was scooping up the soup.
“My name is Coco Gu. I know you, you are a big star!” Coco looked at Lola with envy. She was so lucky that she could actually meet the President of A Country and a big star!
“You are flattering me! I’m not famous yet!” Yolanda couldn’t just stop at that. If Lola knew her at all, she would take things further by provoking public outcry against her.
After finishing off the soup, Lola regained strength and wanted to take a bath.
Coco Gu was hired by Thomas to take special care of Lola. When she was in the bathroom, Coco guarded her at the bathroom door, in case that she might be uncomfortable and need help.
Lola found that Coco had already prepared milk bath for her in the bathroom. Next to the bathtub were several bottles of new ladies’ luxury toiletries, as well as men’s bath products that had been opened.
This must be Thomas Herren’s bathroom… She would just take a shower if she knew it earlier. However, the water was well prepared. Lola stepped into the bathtub, buried herself in the water, and raised her head in less than half a second.
The moment she buried her head in the water, she was caught by a deep sense of fear…
She washed herself casually and came out, wrapped in a bath towel. Coco had already prepared a new pajamas for her. Seeing Lola, Coco handed her a towel to dry her hair.
Lola might have lost her cell phone in the sea, nowhere to be found anyway. Thomas bought a new phone and asked Coco to give it to her.
Lola logged in her Weibo account and found that there were not a single message for her. To her surprise, all her Weibo posts were gone.
Were they deleted by someone? Had her account been hacked? Forget it… It was not bad to have them deleted.
However, Yolanda’s name was still on the hot search and Lola was subjected to tons of abuses. Lola expected nothing less, so she exited her Weibo with a smile.
The next day, she was fit as a fiddle. At a time when Harry and Yolanda could not be home, Lola walked slowly to No. 8 Pearl Spring, and opened the villa door with her fingerprint.
Quiet as the villa was, sure enough no one was inside. The bedroom was the same as before. Mrs. Du had kept it clean and neat.
Lola took out a small box from a drawer in the cabinet, and left the villa.
Then she took a taxi to the apartment. She wanted to get everything right before she went back to work.
Fortunately, the apartment door had been equipped with a fingerprint lock, otherwise she really couldn’t get in since she had lost the key!
The apartment was the same as it was when she went out that night. Lola took out her suitcase and started to pack up. Before leaving, she also spent time cleaning up the apartment.
Lola went back to No. 6 Pearl Spring. Coco was the only one there, busy with chores. Thomas had already returned to A Country, as he had a lot of affairs to deal with.
After she unpacked her suitcase, Lola printed some materials at the study, and called Zoe.
“My god! Lola, it’s you! You’re alive!” Zoe cried out loudly upon hearing the voice of Lola. The excitement almost brought tears to his eyes.
“Well, I was rescued. I need your favor.” Lola and Zoe made an appointment. Thomas had a black Maserati sports car in his garage.
Before leaving, Thomas told Coco that Lola could use that car.
It was daybreak when Lola drove the Maserati slowly out of the garage.
When she was about to leave the neighborhood, Lola noticed a familiar Maybach was coming towards her. She rolled up the window and passed the two people in the Maybach, as if they did not see each other nor know each other.
Pretending not to feel the pain in her heart, Lola glanced at the stuff on the passenger seat—it was all she needed to end everything.
Zoe had been waiting in the coffee shop for quite a while. He waved excitedly at Lola at the sight of her.
Lola, who wore dark glasses, walked towards Zoe with her head down.
“Hey, are you okay?” Zoe looked around, quickly lowered his voice and asked Lola. Just now, he was too excited and had already been noticed by some others.
“Well. I am fine!” Lola ordered a cup of coffee and became lost in thought. When she came across Harry at the Pearl Spring, he treated her like a stranger.
“Lola? Lola?” Zoe called Lola’s name several times before she came to her senses.
“What?” Lola smiled, in a way that was completely different from before.
“You and… Yolanda and Harry, what’s going on?” Zoe had seen the video and was bewildered for a second. Would Lola find someone to humiliate Yolanda? It was definitely impossible. Even if Lola hated the woman, she would not retaliate against her in such a way. Only those who did not know her would believe the scene on the video. God knows how the video was produced!
“That’s why I came to you… You go to Harry’s company and hand this over to him.” Lola pulled out a portfolio with a lot of stuff.
Zoe took a quick look at what was printed on the paper, and stared wide-eyed at Lola. “Lola, are you sure you want to do this?”
Zoe felt his heart was trembling, as if he would soon get something that he had lost…
Lola didn’t notice anything unusual about Zoe. She took a sip of the bitter coffee and nodded her head.
After a long silence, he spoke, “I’ll send it to him tomorrow.”
