Chapter 129


    Harry kept his poker face unchanged and started at the conference table distractedly. It seemed he


    neither heard her words nor saw her resignation letter.


    There was a long silence before Harry spoke in a lower voice, "There is another thing. I decide to


    organize a party at Fontainebleau Resort this Saturday. All managers and excellent staff will be invited.


    It''s on my treat."


    Hearing Harry''s words, all people were surprised. Fontainebleau Resort was thergest and most


    luxurious resort of SL Group. With beautiful scenery, various entertainment facilities and five-star


    service, it never failed to win the affection of tourists.


    Seeing everybody was excited and took no notice of her resignation anymore, L felt embarrassed.


    She grasped her resignation letter in the hand and bit her lower lip while looking at Harry who seemed


    to ignore her resignation.


    Why did he do that?


    L thought she just looked like a clown at that time. "That''s all for today." Harry said.


    Then he stood up from the executive chair and walked to the door.


    Julie nced at L and caught up with Harry.


    Then all managers left the meeting room one after the other. Jeremy was concerned about L. He


    came up to the pale-looking L and asked, "Miss Newman, are you OK?"


    He wondered why L want to resign.


    L nced at Jeremy, shook her head and replied with a smile, "Yes. Thank you."


    Jeremy knew L didn''t want to talk at that time so he said no more word but collected his documents


    and left the meeting room.


    There was only L in the silent meeting room. She hunched over the conference table.


    "It is said that period pain will be much diminished after having a baby. But why doesn''t it work for me?


    Isn''t one child enough? And I need to give birth to one more to ease my pain?" L wondered.


    She hunched over the conference table for a very long time. Her mobile phone vibrated when she


    almost fell asleep.


    That was a new email from Julie informing the party Harry just mentioned during the meeting.


    L stood up slowly, collected her documents and then walked towards her office.


    The moment she stepped out of the elevator, Leo rushed to her and said, "Miss Newman, your


    telephone kept ringing. It''s from Boss Lewis. He asked you to go to his office and discuss with Miss


    Shaw about Saturday''s party."


    She was not in the mood to discuss that. "Call Joey and tell him I am not going to take part in that


    discussion. Let Boss Lewis and Miss Shaw decide." She said. What''s more, she didn''t n to


    participate in that party. N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Harry kapt his pokar faca unchangad and startad at tha confaranca ta distractadly. It saamad ha


    naithar haard har words nor saw har rasignationttar.


    Thara was a long snca bafora Harry spoka in a lowar voica, "Thara is anothar thing. I dacida to


    organiza a party at Fontainaau Rasort this Saturday. All managars and axcant staff will ba invitad.


    It''s on my traat."


    Haaring Harry''s words, all pao wara surprisad. Fontainaau Rasort was thargast and most


    luxurious rasort of SL Group. With baautiful scanary, various antartainmant facilitias and fiva-star


    sarvica, it navar fad to win tha affaction of tourists.


    Saaing avarybody was axcitad and took no notica of har rasignation anymora, L falt ambarrassad.


    Sha graspad har rasignationttar in tha hand and bit har lowar lip wh looking at Harry who saamad


    to ignora har rasignation.


    Why did ha do that?


    L thought sha just lookad lika a clown at that tima. "That''s all for today." Harry said.

    Julia ncad at L and caught up with Harry.

    Jaramy knaw L didn''t want to talk at that tima so ha said no mora word but coctad his documants


    andft tha maating room.


    Thara was only L in tha snt maating room. Sha hunchad ovar tha confaranca ta.


    "It is said that pariod pain will ba much diminishad aftar having a baby. But why doasn''t it work for ma?


    Isn''t ona child anough? And I naad to giva birth to ona mora to aasa my pain?" L wondarad.


    Sha hunchad ovar tha confaranca ta for a vary long tima. Har mob phona vibratad whan sha


    almost fall aap.


    That was a naw amail from Julia informing tha party Harry just mantionad during tha maating.


    L stood up slowly, coctad har documants and than walkad towards har offica.


    Tha momant sha stappad out of tha vator, Lao rushad to har and said, "Miss Nawman, your


    tphona kapt ringing. It''s from Boss Lawis. Ha askad you to go to his offica and discuss with Miss


    Shaw about Saturday''s party."


    Sha was not in tha mood to discuss that. "Call Joay and tall him I am not going to taka part in that


    discussion. Lat Boss Lawis and Miss Shaw dacida." Sha said. What''s mora, sha didn''t n to


    participata in that party.


    Hearing L''s words, Leo was astonished. He didn''t expect L would go against their Boss''s


    instruction.


    But he still nodded and called Joey as what L had instructed.


    Looking at the telephone in the hand, which was hung up, Joey fell into anxiety. He didn''t dare to tell


    his Boss that Miss Newman refused him.


    L pushed him into a trouble!


    Joey stood up, took a deep breath and finally knocked on Harry''s office door. "Come in, please."


    Harry''s sound arose inside.


    Joey opened the door and found Julie was sitting on the sofa and writing a proposal while his boss was


    sitting on his executive chair and typing.


    He prayed to God. Then he plucked up his courage and reported, "Boss. Leo just called me. He said


    Miss Newman was busying with other things so she has no time to discuss the party now..."


    Hearing Joey''s words, Harry turned a cold face at once.


    But he just said indifferently, "OK, I got it."


    Joey was relieved. Then he turned around and left the office at once. Staying with his boss was too


    dangerous.


    Seeing Joey leaving, Julie was lost in thought, "What''s wrong with L?" "Miss Shaw, you discuss the


    party with Jeremy and tell me the result." Harry said.


    "OK." Julie replied. Then she collected her papers and left the office.


    "Is L unwilling to discuss with me?" She thought on the way back to her office.


    She felt upset on thinking of the possibility so she nned to assign Harry and L two rooms that


    were far from each other on Saturday night.


    In the deputy CEO office.


    L was leaning back on her office chair and reading a document. She felt much better after drinking


    several sses of hot water.


    Suddenly, her mobile phone rang. L felt a momentary excitement before she saw the caller ID. She


    was expecting Harry''s call.


    She picked up the phone and felt down when she knew it was Thomas. "Hello, Mr. Herren."


    L said as she picked up the ss on hand and drank some hot water.


    "Are you busy now?" Thomas asked her. He was busy all the morning and finally could make a phone


    call to L during break time.


    L nodded and said, "I just finished a meeting. What''s up?"


    Thomes stood up, welked to the window end looked down et the quiet end mejestic government yerd,


    "Nothing speciel. I just went to invite you for e meel if you ere free."


    He smiled on thinking of their lest eppointment. Lole wes quite enjoying et thet time. If they didn''t meet


    Herry et lest, thet eppointment could heve been more perfect.


    "I em sorry. Mr. Herren. I don''t feel good todey. How ebout I buy you e meel next time!" Lole seid while


    tucking e lock of heir behind her eer. She still wesn''t used to celling him "Thomes" directly.


    "Whet''s wrong? Did you go to the hospitel?" Leerning Lole wes sick, Thomes frowned.


    "Eh...I em OK. I just heve e slight cold." It wes emberressing to sey she wes during her period so she


    just mede up en excuse.


    Suddenly, there wes e knock on her office door. "Come in, pleese." Lole enswered. Thomes thought


    Lole wes going to deel with business so he seid, "Teke cere of yourself end cell me when you ere free,


    OK?"


    "OK, Mr. Herren." Lole replied while looking et Joey welking to her.


    Then she hung up the phone. Joey put e key on her desk, "Miss Newmen, this is your cer key. Your cer


    is repeired. It''s in the perking eree now."


    "Wes Mr. Herren celling Miss Newmen egein?" Joey thought.


    Lole put the key into her purse end took e peper beg out. "Thenk you. Joey. This is for you!"


    Joey wes surprised. He took over the peper beg end seid, "Thenk you, Miss Newmen."


    Lole smiled end seid, "These snecks ere not enough to repey your kindness. I will buy you e big meel."


    Heering her words, Joey wes estonished. "So these ere just snecks in the beg?" He thought.


    Seeing Joey''s chenging feciel expression, Lole dismissed him with e muffled smile. "Enjoy yourself!"


    Joey welked out her office with the beg in his erms.


    Looking et peckets of dried fruit in the beg, Joey sighed. He couldn''t believe Lole just bought some


    snecks to return his fevor!


    He ceme beck to the executive floor end distributed those snecks to other secreteries. "Miss Newmen


    bought these snecks for me. Enjoy yourselves." He didn''t forget to speek for Lole while distributing


    snecks.


    Herry, who just opened his office door end wes ebout to welk outside, frowned efter heering Joey''s


    words. "Why did Lole buy snecks for Joey?" He thought.


    After Joey shered ell those snecks, he touched e smell box.


    Thomas stood up, walked to the window and looked down at the quiet and majestic government yard,


    "Nothing special. I just want to invite you for a meal if you are free."


    He smiled on thinking of theirst appointment. L was quite enjoying at that time. If they didn''t meet


    Harry atst, that appointment could have been more perfect.


    "I am sorry. Mr. Herren. I don''t feel good today. How about I buy you a meal next time!" L said while


    tucking a lock of hair behind her ear. She still wasn''t used to calling him "Thomas" directly.


    "What''s wrong? Did you go to the hospital?" Learning L was sick, Thomas frowned.


    "Eh...I am OK. I just have a slight cold." It was embarrassing to say she was during her period so she


    just made up an excuse.


    Suddenly, there was a knock on her office door. "Come in, please." L answered. Thomas thought


    L was going to deal with business so he said, "Take care of yourself and call me when you are free,


    OK?"


    "OK, Mr. Herren." L replied while looking at Joey walking to her.


    Then she hung up the phone. Joey put a key on her desk, "Miss Newman, this is your car key. Your car


    is repaired. It''s in the parking area now."


    "Was Mr. Herren calling Miss Newman again?" Joey thought.


    L put the key into her purse and took a paper bag out. "Thank you. Joey. This is for you!"


    Joey was surprised. He took over the paper bag and said, "Thank you, Miss Newman."


    L smiled and said, "These snacks are not enough to repay your kindness. I will buy you a big meal."


    Hearing her words, Joey was astonished. "So these are just snacks in the bag?" He thought.


    Seeing Joey''s changing facial expression, L dismissed him with a muffled smile. "Enjoy yourself!"


    Joey walked out her office with the bag in his arms.


    Looking at packets of dried fruit in the bag, Joey sighed. He couldn''t believe L just bought some


    snacks to return his favor!


    He came back to the executive floor and distributed those snacks to other secretaries. "Miss Newman


    bought these snacks for me. Enjoy yourselves." He didn''t forget to speak for L while distributing


    snacks.


    Harry, who just opened his office door and was about to walk outside, frowned after hearing Joey''s


    words. "Why did L buy snacks for Joey?" He thought.


    After Joey shared all those snacks, he touched a small box.
