Did she hear him right? To trick Harry to see me? But how? Lola was really confused as she didn't get
what Thomas meant. What should she do then?
She grabbed his hand out of desperation and innocently asked, "Thomas, sorry... But could you please
show me the way out?" She sincerely meant this as she knew Thomas had a crush on her but she
could not return the feelings. Thomas had done nothing wrong to her and had been a good friend. On
the contrary, she was doing something that would hurt his feelings right now.
Thomas grinned bitterly as he gazed at her naive look. He could tell that she was really in love with
Harry.
"You need to figure out an incident, exaggerate it and try to get the attention of the media. Of course,
you should do all this without ruining both your reputation and his. This should be planned carefully and
thoroughly. Therefore, he would have to contact you because he will definitely be concerned." He
spoke with a calm tone, hoping she would understand what he was saying. He believed in her
capabilities that she would definitely be able to find even better ways.
Lola thought about his words. Then, she suddenly realized that she actually had a picture of this in one
of her discs. It should work!
She controlled her feelings and apologetically replied, "Thomas, I hope one day, you will find someone
better than me. You are a good man and you deserve the best woman out there." Her look was sincere
and her eyes were shining.
Thomas Herren was such a nice man. One day, he would make someone really happy with all his
charm and good manners. It was a pity that her heart was already occupied by Harry. If she met
Thomas Herren first, she would definitely be with him.
Lola looked deeply into Thomas' eyes, as if they had some untold secrets.
She couldn't help but compare these two men in her heart.
Thomas Herren gave her an impression of a super mature guy with a hint of a mysterious personality.
When she was with him, sometimes she felt a little bit nervous as she could not really be true to
herself. She would always feel a bit awkward with him.
Harry Si, with his poker face and expressionless gestures, was always indifferent to everything.
However, he had warm special feelings towards her. Even though he would occasionally cast cold
glances, she could still sense his affection underneath his seemingly cold mask. Whenever she was
with Harry, she could act like herself. Just like a child, she was able to mess around and do things at
her own will. He would always be there, help her out and solve issues for her.
The thought made her guilty. Lola lowered her head and said in a soft voice, "I am sorry, Mr. Herren, I
have feelings for him. I know it is unfair to you! But I can't pretend anymore."
Swallowing down his feelings, Thomas gave her a big smile and nodded. "Lola, don't worry. As long as
you are happy, I am happy too. You don't have to do this for me." It really did not matter who would be
his future lover.
With his whole heart, he added, "If he ever marries another woman or treats you badly, I would still
keep on pursuing you! I will always be here, Lola."
Lola dodged his warm gaze, trying to focus her view on her shoes instead.
Well! If Harry ever married another woman, she would accept Thomas then.
Thomas checked the time and noticed that it was already approaching midnight. He drove Lola directly
back to the Li villa.
Lola returned to her bedroom. Without taking a shower, she rushed towards her computer. She went
through the folders and finally found the picture she was looking for.
She smiled to herself but she still had doubts as whether this picture would work the trick or not.
But, it would definitely ruin Yolanda's reputation. As for him, she was not that sure.
Lola dialed Joseph's number. He answered, with a loud music noise in the background. She thought he
might be at the bar!
"Hey Sis, what's up?" In order to better answer the call, Joseph walked out of the noisy lounge with a
cocktail in his hand. He was already feeling a bit tipsy.
Lola thought about his movie she watched earlier and smiled. "I saw your movie tonight. You did a
great job! Well done!"
Joseph had a sip from his glass and laughed loudly. "Don't tell me that you are calling me for the sake
of giving me compliments! I know you too well, Lola." It was not something she would do!
"Nope." She responded quickly.
He knew it! "Well, what do you want, my dear sister?" Leaning against the wall, he asked with a big
yawn.
"I need a number for a paparazzi. Some really good paparazzi." She thought about the picture. Four
years ago, she would never release it, but now it was good timing.
This was the first step she needed to take to deal with Yolanda. This was her time to shine.
"What for? Sis, what are you trying to reveal?" Joseph sounded very curious and cautious.
Lola paused as she did not want to share the news with her brother yet. She quickly replied, "Just give
me the number of the paparazzi. Tomorrow morning, you will be able to find out in the newspaper."
She hung up the phone. Within a minute, Joseph sent her a number via text message. She dialed the
number without hesitation.
Despite his busy schedule, he always made time for her. She had a really good brother. A female voice
spoke. Despite the late hours, she still sounded professional and alert.
Lola walked onto her balcony. While appreciating the beautiful moonlight, she said indifferently to the
phone, "Please give me your WeChat number as I wish to send you a picture now." She went straight
to the point.
The woman over the phone paused. Then she abruptly replied, "My phone number is also my WeChat
number. You can add me through that." Her voice sounded somewhat familiar.
As soon as she ended the call, Lola sent her friend request to the number. To her surprise, the profile
picture linked to the number was Lillian Ye! That was why her voice sounded very familiar!
What was she doing now? She sent her name Lola Li in the friend request.
Lillian Ye smiled as she saw the friend request. It was her!
"Hi! My old friend!" Lillian greeted her warmly. She heard about her a lot. She knew Lola was doing
great in A Country, working as the acting CEO of the SL Group.
Lola replied with a smiling emoji, "Long time no see, what are you up to these days?"
"I am working as an editor for a magazine at D City. I heard that you are doing great these days!" Lillian
vaguely recalled that Lola was the second daughter from the Li family in A Country. The famous actor
Joseph was actually her own brother... She was from a very popular family and heritage.
"I guess I am okay. Listen, I have a picture for you to publish first thing tomorrow morning. Hopefully, it
would hit the headlines. Name a price for it." Lola attached the picture from her album and sent it over
to Lillian.
Lillian soon replied with a shocking emoji, "Are you kidding me? Didn't you photoshop this? Are you
sure?"
Lola was speechless. "I don't find it necessary. To be honest with you, I need to deal with Yolanda. I
hope you know what to write in your report! I really need this as soon as possible." She hid her true
agenda. She didn't mind telling her about the whole Yolanda issue as she knew Lillian a long time ago
and found her trustworthy.
This picture would expose way too much secrets. "Your ex-husband was kind of difficult to deal with. If
our magazine is ruined because of your picture, I can't bear the consequence."
The magazine she worked for was one of the leading ones in D City. Back then, her boss invested a
huge sum of money in it. She could not risk everything just because of a single picture.
Lola thought for a moment and wondered if she should call Harry to notify him in advance. That
sounded better.
"Hold on now. I need to call someone." She quickly sent the message to Lillian.
Then she took up every courage in her and dialed Harry's number. The waiting seemed to take forever.
Lola felt really nervous.
Since he left, they never contacted each other in private. They only saw each other when they had
conference calls with other senior managers.
He finally picked up the call, "What's up?" He sounded really distant. Lola's face went pale and her
heart hurt because she thought that he did not love her anymore.
His cold voice made her wonder if she should open her mouth and tell him the truth.
It seemed that he had forgotten about her already. If he no longer cared about her, why should she
bother to do these things? Didn't she look like a fool doing all these unnecessary and irrelevant things?
Tortured by her own thoughts, Lola remained in silence until a female voice spoke sweetly over the
phone, "Harry, time to sleep! Get off from the phone."
