Cosset You Forever

Chapter 107 Promotion and Pay Raise

Lola was so embarrassed that she pinched Harry's waist sharply. But it was too late to do so.

Harold and Angie had got out of the car and Angie walked up to the kissing couple with a serious face.

She had recognized that figure. It could be no one else but her daughter.

Harry didn't release Lola until he felt someone had approached them.

Lola felt so awkward and felt like digging a hole to hide in when she recognized Angie. Being caught on the spot, she could not keep her head up, but greeted Angie in a weak voice, "Mother ."

Lola blushed with shame. Angie didn't look at Lola, but stared at Harry angrily. "Good evening, madam." Harry greeted Angie in a polite manner and nodded to Harold who was standing not far away from him.

"Who are you?" Angie asked. She still stared at Harry grimly. Had been living in the army for such a long time, she was accustomed to act this way. People would show their weakness when facing her. But when it came to Harry, things would be different.

Harry didn't expect that he would be dragged into his car when he was about to introduce himself. He had no idea when Lola had opened the door of his car, nor did he thought that Lola should have such great strength to shove him into his car.

Lola locked the door of the car and walked hand in hand with Angie towards home and explained, "Mother, that man is just my boss. Don't get me wrong. Let's go home."

Harry already had a dirty look when he was dragged into the car. He became livid when heard Lola's words and thought, "I'm only your boss? Don't get you wrong? Fine, Lola! I will change your malicious mind."

Lola got in Harold's car with her mother. "Lola, is that your new boyfriend?" Angie asked. Her face was not that cold now. She understood that it was natural for her daughter to get a new boyfriend, but this time, she would like to play her role as a mother to avoid a failed marriage.

"Mother, no, he is my boss..." Lola replied diffidently. She was not sure whether she should tell her parents that Harry was the birth father of Nicole. "How could a boss take advantage of his subordinate right in front of his subordinate's house? Lola, don't be tricked by him." Angie warned. She was a bit miffed when she heard Lola's answer. After all, kissing and hand holding were only naturally between couples. If that man had nothing to do with Lola, how could he take advantage of her daughter?

"Mother, he is ..." Lola wanted to explain, but had no idea what to say. She knew her mother's words were out of kindness.

"Enough. Lola is an adult. She has her own thoughts and ideas. Mind your own business." Harold said so to Angie, which rescued Lola. He knew what kind of person his daughter was and believed that she would always behave herself.

"I'm worrying about you, Lola. I understand that you want to remarry a man for the sake of Nicole and yourself. Be careful and let us know this time, ok?" Sitting at the front passenger seat, Angie turned around and said so to Lola. She was very concerned and worried about Lola.

"Ok. Got it. Thank you." Lola replied. She understood that her parents never wanted her to meet someone like Harry again, but they didn't know the only man that ever had a relationship with her was Harry...

The three went back to the villa. After checking that Nicole slept well, Lola threw herself onto the bed. She hesitated for a moment, then decided to send Harry a message, "Harry, it would be better if we do not meet each other again in private."

In seconds, she received a reply, "No way!"

Lola can imagine the expression of Harry when he was editing the text. He must be furious and was eager to kill her.

"Are you determined to revenge on me for your fiancee?" Lola asked hopelessly. Harry pulled over his car to read this message.

"Maybe she is right. But if I just want to get back at her, why do I care for her every day?" Harry thought.

"So glad that you know this." So he quickly typed a few words and sent them, but got no reply then.

Holding a pillow in her arms, Lola read the message and cried silently.

"If he did not have a fiancee, I might simply get back together with him. Even though he misunderstood me as someone malicious, I believed that time would prove everything, didn't it? But he did have a fiancee, with whom I would have lots of fights in the soon future. Whose side would he stand by? Would he be tolerant of my revenge on Yolanda?" Lola thought.

The air grew darker and darker. Lola dozed off to sleep.

Friday morning was the time for regular meetings of senior management. On that day, Lola walked in the meeting room on her heels after making sure that her makeup was perfect.

Wearing a suit, Harry also came in with a cold face two minutes ahead of the meeting time.

He threw a report on the desk, which puzzled the executives. They had no idea what did that mean but looked at one another dumbly.

Harry then began to talk, "Theron Xing, the deputy CEO of the company, has embezzled money and engaged in corrupt practices." Theron was dumbfounded and thought, "How does the CEO get to know his secret?"

"Boss, do you have any evidence?" Theron asked. He tried to keep calm, but his hands under the desk couldn't stop trembling.

Harry rolled his eyes with a cold face after hearing the question, then he turned to Jack Chang and said, "Jack Chang, the vice general manager, has harassed many female employees, accepted bribes and bought furniture for his villa with embezzled money."

"I'm innocent, boss." Jack argued. He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with a pale face and struggled desperately.

"Innocent? Evidence? Check for yourselves. Theron Xing and Jack Chang would be fired after making up for the company loss. General manager Lola Li is promoted to the deputy CEO. HR manager is responsible for the candidates of new general manager and vice general manager. Qualified candidates must pass the interview of the new deputy CEO. That's all for today. Any questions, come for me after the meeting." Harry said. He then left the room directly.

Tongues wagged. Theron and Jack hurried to check the portfolio on the desk.

Inside were the joint report from some female employees against Jack and evidence of bribery about Theron, which made the two speechless.

Firing two executives and promoting Lola to deputy CEO in less than three minutes' meeting. That was Harry's style.

Following Harry, Joey admired Harry in his heart and finally got to know the reason why Harry was so busy recently.

Lola was baffled by the sudden promotion and left the meeting room under the envious and jealous gazes of others.

In that afternoon, Lola moved to the deputy CEO office with the help of Leo. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Looking at the empty office of deputy CEO, Lola felt very complicated.

Workplace was like battlefield. It was possible that she would be fired from a high position someday. Jack was one of the examples. Actually, Jack intended to harass her one year ago. But she got away decisively.

Afterwards, Jack wanted to find fault with her to fire her. But she always behaved herself well and never gave him a chance to do so. She never expected that Harry would get things clear soon after he took office.

Thinking for a while, Lola decided to go upstairs and talked to Harry.
