Chapter 149


    L collected her thoughts and said to Angie, who was very concerned, "Mother, I told him that Nicole


    is my child with Thomas. I have no idea why I said so. Am I pushing him away?"


    L was deeply confused, so she could not help but speak her mind to Angie.


    Angie and Harold looked at each other, and then Harold went upstairs quietly with a frown.


    Angie let L sit with her on the sofa. "Why did you choose to work for SL in the first ce?" The


    question was right to the point.


    It reminded L of her original motivation. Yes, that was because she wanted to see Harry again.


    "You still love him, but you know that he can''t give you what you want. On the contrary, President


    Herrenes to you in the right ce at the right time. He can give you what you want. That''s why you


    are confused." Angie''s words punched L''s heart. It was true, but what should she do then?


    Angie seemed to perceive L''s unspoken question, "To be honest, they are both very decent young


    men. Normally, Nicole should not be parted with her biological father. But considering all the


    entanglements and intricacy in your rtionship, it might be better to let it be in case you and Nicole


    get hurt again. Whatever will be will be. If he is not meant to be with you, your efforts won''t make any


    difference. Time will give the final answer."


    These words gave L muchfort and helped her decide that her priority now was Nicole. As for


    Harry, she would leave it at God''s disposal.


    She would fight for whatever belonged to her, but she would not push herself too hard for what didn''t.


    As for Thomas, she had two months to consider their rtionship, hadn''t she?


    If it finally worked out between she and Harry, she would tell Thomas not to wait for her in advance.


    ...


    L put Nicole on her own bed and cuddled her tightly.


    Nicole was the person she cherished the most in her life. She would not allow anybody to take her


    away. Anybody!


    It became a sleepless night for her.


    The next day, L sighed at the dark circles under her eyes and put on light makeup before leaving for


    company.


    At the morning briefing. When L walked into the meeting room with a professional smile, everyone


    was present except Harry.


    Given the busy schedule, CEO didn''t have to attend every briefing, but Harry had always shown up.


    Today, however, Harry had beente for 10 minutes. Maybe he would skip this one.


    L made some quick adjustment and started to preside over the meeting.


    When the meeting was about to end, the door was suddenly opened. Harry, dressed in suits, strode in,


    with more intimidating manner.


    The bruise at the corner of his mouth surprised everyone. What happened to him?


    Without even looking at anyone, Harry opened a folder. "I''ll be in charge of the cooperation with


    Dawson today. Miss Shaw, get the materials prepared and go with me. Besides, the Design


    Department will now be in the charge of Miss Shaw as well. Jeremy, consult with Miss Shaw if needed.


    Over!"


    What the hell! He just transferred a verypetent staff from her!


    Other people followed Harry and left the meeting room. Only L was left pondering.


    The negotiation with Dawson was her task, but now Harry took it over. Was he nning to make her a


    mere figurehead?


    L shook her head and decided to wait and see.


    On her way back to office, she saw Harry and Julie reading from a folder and discussing.


    L passed by them without a word, pretending to read her own files.


    Meanwhile she heard Julie talking in her coquettish voice. "Boss Lewis, how did you get hurt?"


    ... A bitter smile curved L''s lips at the thought.


    Such a flirty man!


    L started to immerse herself in work immediately after she was back in office, so that she would not


    think about all the mess.


    After Joey knocked at the door and went in, Harry only took a quick look at him and then continued to


    work.


    "Boss Lewis, I just got the call from the police." Harry recalled the incident that night, so he let Joey


    continue.


    Joey wiped away his cold sweat. "All the gangsters were killed except one ina..."


    People behind this must be quite powerful since they could do away with the suspects in jail. So that


    only survivor was thest witness.


    "I see. Keep me informed!" Then Harry just went back to his work.


    The idea that L might have manipted this shed across his mind, but he soon dispelled the


    thought.


    L had been dedicating herself to work recently. Her busy schedule left her no time to think of Harry,


    other than the morning briefing when she had to meet him.


    At the morning briefing.


    Harry walked into the meeting room and started the meeting at once. "The former endorser is not


    qualified. I need a recement! Ynda and Joseph, the popr ''screen couple'' nowadays, will be


    appropriate. But Joseph hasn''t signed contracts with any entertainmentpany yet, so Miss


    Newman, you go negotiate with him."


    L went nk the moment her name was mentioned. She looked at Harry and wonder why he just


    called her name.


    Oh wait, he asked her to talk with Joseph about the endorsement. "No problem!'' She responded


    decidedly.


    "As for Ynda..." Before Harry finished his speech, Julie cut in. "Ynda is your fiancee, right? She


    will not disagree." Then she covered her mouth andughed.


    Julie''s words aroused many discussions. Although many of them knew about the rtionship between


    Harry and Ynda, it was still surprising to hear someone bringing it up.


    Only L, expressionless, was writing something there, as if it had nothing to do with her.


    Harry gave Julie a quick nce and looked at L. "Ynda will arrive in Ascea tomorrow. Miss


    Newman will also be in charge of this."

    He asked her to negotiate with Ynda? L wondered if she could restrain revealing that hypocritical


    bitch.


    "Boss Lewis, I''m afraid I can''t." Those executives around all gasped. How dare she object to CEO''s


    order?


    "Yes, you can. Hand over what you are busy with to Miss Shaw, and focus on the endorsement." Harry


    didn''t give her any chance to say no.


    "I have been working on two important projects for half a month. It won''t be easy to hand over them to


    Miss Shaw right now. Please reconsider, Boss Lewis. And as for the cooperation with Joseph, I


    promise it will go on smoothly." Others were amazed at L''s apparent anger, as L rarely lost her


    temper. She was angry, because he not only asked her to negotiate with Ynda, but also ignored all


    her endeavors on the two projects and took them away from her all of a sudden.
