Chapter 59
"You should trust me. Why should I help our competitor? Nonsense, right?" Lola explained to Harry in anxiety.
Looking at the worried-looking Lola, Harry asked, "Are you still angry about what happened last night? You do this to vent your anger? Do you know this formula is not just about a deal worth millions of dollars? Do you know how many days and nights Mia has spent on it?" This was the only reason that came to Harry's mind. In view of Lola's temper, he thought it's possible for her to do this kind of thing and get him into trouble.
Lola stared at Harry. She was so disappointed and got nothing to say anymore. What was she like on earth in his mind? She couldn't believe Harry didn't trust her at all.
There was a knock on the door at that moment. "Boss, Jack is here." It was Joey talking outside the door.
Then, a man walked into the meeting room. That was the man who delivered the message to Lola during lunch time.
"Justin, tell them what was going on and what did you told me this nooning." Lola recognized him immediately. She thought only Justin could save her at that point. As long as Justin told Harry what was really going on, misunderstanding would be cleared up naturally.
"Who are you? Why do you take me here?" That man threw questions and looked at Lola in deep confusion. It looked like it was his first time seeing Lola.
Harry looked at that man up and down and enlarged his face on the video, then turned the screen to
him. "You'd better tell me the truth or I don't know what will happen to you!" Hearing that cold threat, Jack became panicky at once.
"OK, Boss Lewis. I will tell you!" Jack seemed in great fear. He glimpsed Lola for a second. Harry captured his reaction clearly.
"The thing is that Miss Newman told me she was willing to sell me a mask formula and asked me to take it this nooning." Then, Jack turned to Lola who was in great shock and said in a pathetic way, "Miss Newman, I don't want this formula anymore. Please spare me."
"Stop!" Harry's tone was horrifyingly cold.
"Boss Lewis, please spare me. I have kids and elderly parents to raise and support." Jack was so scared and almost knelt down. He said, "Miss Newman, I don't want this anymore. Please take it back." Then Jack fished a paper out from his pocket. That was exactly the formula Heidi lost.
Looking at the formula, Lola fell into deep astonishment and confusion. Who set her up on earth? Harry thought Lola's astonishment was because of being disclosed.
"Lola, I am so disappointed in you. I didn't expect you would be so irrational, and did this to our company!" Harry said after long silence. Harry's words made Lola feel hopeless. She didn't know how to protest her innocence.
Harry leant back in his chair with arms crossed on the lower abdomen and legs resting on the another
chair. His eyes were closed tightly. Lola had let him down twice since last night.
He couldn't believe Lola had drowned Naughty, pushed Yolanda into the swimming pool, and even betrayed the company for revenge. "Do you have to hit back?''
Facing with Harry's reproof, Lola lost words. "Harry, It's not like that. I didn't betray our company. Someone is framing me!" She finally opened her mouth after long silence.
"Someone is framing you? Who? How could I trust you? The evidence is solid." Harry roared at his wife, as he kicked the computer onto the floor with enormous rage.
The screen flashed twice and went completely black. Lola was scared as it was the first time she had seen her husband lose temper.
Not only Lola, Joey, who was standing outside the meeting room, flinched. It was also the first time that he had seen his emotionless CEO lose temper.
Lola was sure that except Yolanda, Sara and Mike, nobody would do that to her. She took a deep breath and said, "Last night, Yolanda was framing me. Today, maybe it is Mike and Sara behind this..."
"Enough, Lola!" Harry refused to listen to her anymore. In his opinion, Lola was passing the buck.
"Harry, I said I didn't do that! Believe or not! I am done here!" Lula also got angry for Harry's attitude and distrust. She walked out the meeting room, slammed the door and went back to the Research and Development Department.
Her colleagues watched her rushing into changing room and then leaving company in her own clothes
in minutes.
Seeing Lola left, they gathered together at once and gossiped, "Did Lola really do that?"
"Unbelievable. But formulator Mia said none once entered the lab during nooning but Lola."
"I think so. If she didn't do that, no one dared to suspect her."
"But she is boss's wife. Why would she betray her own company?"
...
An announcement was released by the Human Resources Department soon. "Lola of Research and Development Department was cheated by competitor and caused massive loss to the company. Now we decide to dismiss her and request her to bear company's loss of around $ 60 million."
The Accounting Department received the remittance of $ 60 million in the name of Lola soon after the announcement was released.
Lola rushed back Pearl Spring villa by motorcycle in a great rage. Her anger doubled on seeing Yolanda who was leisurely sitting in the balcony and playing mobile phone.
"Yolanda!" Lola jerked open the door of her room and rushed to her. "How can an international superstar be so mean and shameless?"
Facing with Lola's humiliation, Yolanda didn't get angry. On the contrary, she sneered. "Don't sling mud at me! Are you nuts?" It seemed things went the way she wanted! All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
"She knows full well what I mean. I'm going to go nuts if she stays here for one more second" Lola thought.
Lola furiously ran closer to Yolanda and dragged her out of the chair. Yolanda fell down on the floor and looked embarrassed.
"Ah!" You are really insane. Bitch!" Yolanda shouted. At that moment, she got angry too. She glanced at Lola while massaging her painful knee on the floor.
"I am insane?" Lola gave her a sneer as reply and continued, "You, get out of my house right now. See how much trouble you have made?" She rushed into Yolanda's bedroom, opened all the closets and found out a luggage case. Lola threw all Yolanda's clothes into the case. Then she walked to Yolanda with the case in one hand and tried to drag Yolanda, who had got up from the floor, out of the room with the other hand.
"Let go of me, you lunatic!" Yolanda exerted all her strength to pull her hand free. Lola dropped the case away and grabbed Yolanda roughly.
"This troublesome woman must leave today." Lola thought.
Seeing that, Mrs. Herbert hurried to separate them and Betty called Harry.
"Lola, calm down. Miss Morrison's foot is hurt." Mrs. Herbert tried to stop Lola who was driven crazy by anger.
"Hurt, so what? She hung on in here to seduce my husband and humiliate and frame me on a plea of that minor injury." She thought.
