Trapped with the CEO

Chapter 97 Sorry, I Can't Drink

Four years. They had been engaged for four years! Harry delayed the wedding again and again no matter how their families urged him.

At that moment, Yolanda realized Harry had never forgotten that woman.

She clenched her fists. "Then let that woman disappear for good." she sneered.

Lola was called over to the conference room for an emergency management meeting the second after she arrived at the company by the deputy CEO Theron Xing.

Seeing all executives were present, Theron Xing went straight to the point, "The CEO of SL Group, our big Boss, Harry Si is coming to take over the company as CEO. Please get yourself ready.

He looked round the whole meeting room and added, "I have seen Boss Si twice. He is demanding and hard to get along with. His cold eyes and poker face can freeze you even miles away. So you'd better be on the ball after his arrival!" Seeing all people displaying a terrified look after hearing his words, he smirked.

"When will him take office?" A manager raised a question which all the others concerned. They were all wondering how many peaceful days left.

"Very soon. Boss Si is handing over his work in D City. According to his high work efficiency, I think he will arrive here within three days!" Speaking of that, he was thinking was there anything he didn't do well in. If so, he needed to make up for it as soon as possible.

"Miss Li!" Theron called Lola who kept silent throughout and looked distracted. "Yes, Mr. Xing."

"Prepare a banquet to welcome our CEO. All people here will attend. Get moving." Theron ordered. Theron's unprecedented cautious attitude made everyone panic in the following days.

After the meeting, Lola came back to her office and sat down. "Take office within three days? How come our calm boss became so eager? Now that Harry Si is coming with Yolanda Mo, I will face them!" She sneered.

In order to make herself stronger, she had been working hard since she joined in SL Group three years ago. Luckily, the former Acting President thought highly of her competency and promoted her to General Manager.

The show was going to be on soon. Who's gonna be the winner and who's gonna be the loser? It's as plain as the nose on the face...

In No. 888 Room of Westin Hotel.

Lola was wearing a white dress, a red wind coat and a pair of new-fashioned wedge heels which quite matched her clothes.

With the color reviver balm, her light make-up looked exquisite. Lola sat down at the seat which was farthest from the seat for the guest of honor.

Eight department managers, two deputy managers, one general manager and one deputy CEO were all present, waiting for their CEO.

At seven o'clock pm.

The door was opened from outside on time. The man who was stepping in exuded a strong sense of domineering. All people were on tenterhooks. They stood up at once to show their respect to the man.

"Boss Si, welcome!" Theron scooted to the man who kept a porker face and walked him to the seat.

After greeting, Theron started introducing the others to Harry. Lola was sitting still and listening.

When it came to Lola, Theron said, "Boss Si, this is our General Manager, Lola Li. Although she just joined in our company three years ago, she had been promoted to General Manager because of her outstanding competency."

"Three years... Miss Li is excellent indeed." Hearing that low and masculine voice again after years, Lola lifted her lips slightly.

Other male managers nursed a little grievance. "Why Boss Si just nodded indifferently when it comes to them, but praised Lola? Young and beautiful ladies are in high favor for sure!" they thought.

How they wish they could be young and beautifu!

Other female managers who were in their thirties and fourties all blushed. Boss Si was so charming that their heart started beating faster the moment they saw him.

"Thank you Boss Si. It's my honor to work for SL Group." Lola replied simply without even looking at Harry.

Noticing the atmosphere turned a little embarrassing, Theron introduced another manager immedately. After that, all of them came to toast Harry one after another.

Lola looked much more indifferent against the enthusiastic others. She didn't join their toast, but ate and sipped juice sometimes while sitting there.

Theron poured some Baijiu for Lola and asked her to toast Harry.

Lola put her chopsticks down and looked at Theron, "Sorry, I can't drink these days."

Lola was supposed to say that to Boss Si. But she was looking at Theron, who was embarrassed by her words. "What is wrong with Lola Li? She is good at socializing and able to get along well with all colleagues in company. Why she is so weird today?" Theron wondered.

Theron didn't insist on that. He turned to another manager and asked him to toast Harry.

The banquet could be regarded as a success cause everyone fully took part in and enjoyed it, except Lola of course.

Theron dragged Lola to walk Harry out together after the banquet. There was a little flush on Harry's cheeks. He dank a little bit too much that night.

It was getting late when they came out. Joey was standing beside the Maybach, waiting for Harry.

Seeing long-lost Lola, Joy nodded at her.

Theron was confused. "CEO's assistant seems to know Lola. Does CEO already know Lola before too?" he thought.

Then Joey opened the door for Harry.

"Mr. Xing, I forgot my phone in the hotel. Could you please fetch it for me?" Harry turned to them suddenly.

"Sure. Please wait a minute."

Theron trotted back to the hotel at once. Lola was not willing to stay alone with Harry, at least at that time. She was planning to follow Theron, When Harry called her, "Miss Li, how about getting in for a chat?" Harry was leaning against the door of the Maybach and squinting at Yolanda who looked more mature than she was four years ago.

"No. Boss Si, you'd better have a good rest!" Lola refused without turning back to him.

Hearing that, Harry just smiled without saying anything further. Since he had been in A Country now, he had a lot of time.

Then they saw Theron running out of the hotel hall with Harry's mobile phone in his hand. The mobile phone was ringing.

"Boss Si, someone called Yolanda keeps calling you!" Harry threw a clod glance at him. Theron realized he shoudn't have watched Boss's privacy.

Hearing what Theron just said, Lola went straight to her BMW parked nearby and left despite that the big Boss was still standing there.

Theron was more confused with a little anger. "What the hell is wrong with Lola Li today? She has been so impolite to the big Boss." He thought.

Harry hung up the phone indifferently. Then he got in the Maybach after Lola's car ran out of his sight. "Goodbye, Boss Si. Have a good rest!" Theron waved at Harry.

After seeing big Boss off, Theron went back to the private room cause other managers were still there.

They were devouring food. They didn't dare to eat with abandon in front of the big Boss. Now, since the Boss had left, they finally could fill their belly.
