Having seen that Lola became very speechless, Thomas Herren gently held her hand and put the
flowers in it.
"Hmm. Don't you like it?"
Lola shook her head and said, "Yeah, but... that is too much for me... I don't think I can accept this..."
"Well, fine. You don't have to worry about that. All you are to me is more than enough." He gently cut off
her words by raising his index finger.
She just looked at him blankly and stood motionless. For a moment there, she did not know what to
say. She thought he was going to give up on her. She did not expect that Thomas would love her this
much.
Thomas put down his finger, noticed that Lola was in a bit of a trance, and grinned at her. He knew
what she was thinking. But he just can't let go of her. His mind says that he should go but his heart
strongly disagrees.
"Do you have any free time these days? How about we going out with Nicole for several days? It's all I
ask." Thomas hid his tone of desperation by smiling again.
Lola pondered a little bit, thought of his sweet words and said, "No, I know you have just resigned. But
you must still be very busy."
She refused him like she always used to do, leaving him no chance. Thomas clenched his fists in the
dark.
"Lola, he is going to be married. Can't you see that? I don't want you to be hurt again."
He asked her in a serious tone. The smile on his face was gone.
She took a deep breath and looked at him who looked angry, and replied, "Mr. Herren, I said I would
not give up."
Thomas withdrew his gaze, leaned against the back of the chair and closed his eyes. What should he
do with her? It seemed like he has done everything he could.
It was so silent in the car that the driver also became nervous. He has never seen Mr. Herren be so
angry like this.
They arrived at the pedestrian street. Thomas got out of the car and walked over to open the door for
Lola.
She promptly got out of the car, leaving the bouquet behind.
But Thomas took out the bouquet from the car and put it into Lola's hands. "Take it with you for dinner.
Please."
... "Thomas is acting rather weird. He has been so pushy today." Lola thought to herself. Thomas was
always a cool-tempered man. What was going on today?
He pulled the woman to the side of the road and let the driver drive away.
At the LM Fashion Pedestrian Zone
It was as bright as broad daylight there. It was the liveliest time of the day. Office workers were off work
and people who were not working hang out in the public places.
They walked near a small garden at the foot of the pedestrian street. Thomas talked to her toughly: "I
really like you, Lola, I've got time to deal with you. I can give you everything he gave you, I just need a
chance."
He had never been so into a woman like this. His mind was fully taken up by her when he was not
working. He thought he was slowly becoming so crazily in love with her.
Lola looked at him and lowered her head. "I only have him in my heart. Could you please just give up?
Please spare yourself of pain." It won't feel good to hurt someone who likes you.
Looking at the woman in front of her, Thomas held her in his arms and kissed her on her red soft lips.
The blue enchantress bouquet was sandwiched between them and the kiss of two pretty persons
attracted a lot of attention.
Lola struggled to free herself from Thomas, but he held her so tight that he won't let her go.
He didn't release her until he felt her tears after a long time. "Lola, I love you. Just like how you won't
give up on him, I can't just easily give up on you." A tinge of pain swept through his eyes. Looking down
at her crying in her arms, he felt a little guilty. A crying woman was always his weakness.
They separated from one another. The bouquet has been deformed. "Don't cry, please, I'm sorry." He
wiped away her tears carefully. He had no idea why he did that to her.
"Take me home." She said in an emotionless tone.
Thomas closed his eyes and said, "I will. After dinner."
Lola shook her head, returned the bouquet into Thomas' hands and walked away from him.
He abruptly caught up on her with the flowers still in his hand. But now, he realized that he should
compromise.
It was himself who was to blame. It was obvious she was not into him at all. Why should he force her
like that?
Lola threw away his hand and wiped away the tears on her cheek. He felt bad when he saw her still
crying.
"Lola, look..." He did not have the chance to finish his words. All of a sudden, they were surrounded by
five or six men wearing masks over their heads and black hats.
Seeing this situation, Thomas quickly threw the flowers on the chair and pulled Lola behind him.
"Who are you?" He asked as he told Lola not to panic.
"Hand over the woman behind you and you will be OK." A man got out a dagger, pointed at Thomas,
and shouted at him.
All the people around them were terrified and walked away from them.
You wanted her? Lola frowned and was terribly afraid. Who were these people?
"In your dreams!" Thomas let himself completely block her behind him and intently looked at the dagger
in front of him without fear.
The gangsters glanced at one another and one of them rushed to Thomas with a dagger. "Watch out,
Thomas!" Lola saw the dagger coming as soon as she stuck out her head, and quickly pulled Thomas
back.
His upper body leaned back and he parried the dagger with his arm. Blood oozed from his hit arm.
Lola instantly turn pale with fear. "Stop! I'll go with you."
Enduring the pain from his arms, Thomas kicked the gangster in his chest. "No!" He would not just
hand her over to these men.
At this time, several men dressed in plain clothes rushed to them.
All of them tried to fight against the masked men. They seemed to be martial arts experts and they
came to save them.
Just when Lola doubted who they were, the phone in her bag rang and she quickly took out the phone.
It was Harry...
Looking at the people who were fighting with the gangsters in front of her, she probably knew. She felt
a warm sense in her heart.
"Are you with him?" Harry asked from the other side of the phone. He was obviously unhappy.
"Yes."
"Lola, stay away from him." He warned sternly. Those people who were sent by Joey could be
replaced. When Lola was in trouble, they didn't go to save her at first, but called Harry for further
instruction.
Lola remembered her thoughts early that day. "I must hang up, Mr. Herren was injured." She
immediately hung up the phone and put it in her bag. At the same time, Thomas had contacted the
chauffeur.
She lifted his arm and the blood began to drip. It looked like a deep cut.
The blood made Lola feel dry in her mouth. She wanted to touch his wound but failed with fear.
"It's no big deal, don't worry." What mattered to Thomas was not the cut on his arm, but the fear on
Lola's face.
After a while, patrolmen came to their aid.
None of the bodyguards sent by Harry were injured. They seized a few gangsters and sent them to the
police car.
The chauffeur drove there as quickly as he could.
He was shocked to see that Thomas was wounded. Only today that there were no bodyguards, and
bad things happened... They should be more careful next time.
