Chapter 345


    She learned now that she was actually forced to be thispany''s boss.


    Harry had left for three days, leaving no information about hising back. He had promised to never


    give up on her. But why did he break his promise, just several dayster?


    L snickered, "Indeed, boys will be boys. Their words can never be trusted."


    "... There will be an international coffee contest next week in Uthana. Many coffee manufacturers will


    attend from all around the world. The organizingmittee has sent you an invitation. Will you


    participate?" The shop manager had asked L just as Joey had instructed him to.


    ''International coffee contest? In Uthana?''


    "Where exactly is the location?" She asked calmly.


    "The venue is said to be at the International Friendship and Culture Center in the New District."


    ''New District? It is not far away from the mansion. Should I go or not?'' pondered L.


    But after a while, L nodded a yes. That was too good of an opportunity to miss.


    After that, the manager returned to the coffee shop and called and reported to Harry the whole story.


    Hearing of her consent, Harry smirked; he hadn''t sponsored the contest for nothing after all.


    After hanging up the manager''s call, he dialed her number.


    Seeing who the caller''s ID was, L somehow felt a little bit nervous.


    But when the phone rang for another third time, she answered it.


    This time L went silent. "L, the SL Group will host its anniversary in Ascea the day after


    tomorrow. Can I invite you to attend the ceremony?"


    She heard Harry''s deep voiceing from the phone''s speaker.


    Indeed, thepany''s anniversary was just around the corner. In the past four years, she had always


    attended its anniversary, every year with a new identity.


    She missed the days in the SL so much. If it weren''t for Harry, she would have never left there.


    But what about this year? He invited her to join, but with what identity? And it seemed she was in no


    position to attend the ceremony any longer.


    "No, I couldn''t. I no longer work in the SL." There was nothing she had to do with the SL now.


    Harry smiled. How could she have forgotten all about the betrothal gift he had given to her? "With a


    20% share in the SL, you are a major shareholder. So you technically still work in the SL."


    When she heard this, L was quite surprised. She had given back the document and rejected his


    favor. Howe she was still a shareholder?


    "I''ve returned that document to you..."


    "Yes, you have. But before you did that, I had already made you a shareholder." He put a cigarette in


    mouth and then lit it.


    Hearing the lighter''s crack, she frowned. ''He must be smoking again, '' she thought.


    After this, she said in a harsh and cold tone, "Boss Lewis, I can''t stop you from smoking outside. But I


    hope you can refrain from smoking when Nicole is around you..." Nicole was too young to be exposed


    to Harry''s cigarette smoke.


    A big smile crept on Harry''s face. Dragging a long puff, he then stubbed the cigarette. "I am all yours.


    You can interfere in all of my businesses, as long as you want to." She gave him orders, and that


    sounded great.


    ... L became speechless.


    "About the anniversary, I... I will not be present there. Goodbye, Mr. Lewis." On the other side, she


    didn''t want to hear any gossips.


    Because of Harry, her reputation was basically in tatters now.


    "Don''t hang up!" Harry''s worried and swift order made her pause just in time.


    Was he being hard on her? Suddenly, L felt uneasy.


    "Boss Lewis, is this the right attitude for a pursuer?" She didn''t know why she had asked such a silly


    question.


    Harry giggled, making L blush on the other end of the line. She then realized that her words


    sounded as if she already had said yes to his court.


    "Sorry. I will never be hard on you, ever!" He would talk sweet to her, as long as she wanted.


    L tapped her flushed cheeks, thinking that they were just talking about the anniversary before, and


    now they came to touch on another, different, topic.


    "No, I''m good, Boss Lewis. Goodbye!" Without even waiting for Harry''s reply, she hung up the phone


    immediately.


    L looked at the blooming flowers outside in the park. Why did her cheeks flush and heart race


    whenever she met with him? Did she still love him? No, she couldn''t. She said to herself, ''L you


    can''t forget what happened before.''


    Then she remembered how he tormented her until she became so heartbroken that she jumped for her


    death...


    The Wechat app beeped with a new message. She opened it and saw that the sender was Harry.


    "Be prepared. You will attend the anniversary as my date."


    ... She texted him back quickly, "Boss Lewis, I can''t ept your invitation for the anniversary."


    "The decisiones unterally." His words seemed so magic, and he couldn''t take no for an answer.


    So, L naturally replied, "Okay."


    Shocked about her reply, L hurriedly clicked on the cancel button.


    But it was already toote, and Harry texted back, "I''ve already seen your reply. Wait for me, I''ll pick


    you up, my queen." Harry smiled from ear to ear.


    He now could be sure that she still loved him. And he had to move even faster to get back with her


    soon.


    Nicole was his little princess, but L was his girl, his queen. All his happiness came from her.


    L on the other side almost copsed on her chair, ming herself for not being able to reject him.


    ''I must be a masochist, '' she thought.


    An SL invitation letter for their anniversary was too valuable to be bought with money.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Normally, the invitation was sent to the SL''s executives, exceptional employees, and to some other


    partneringpanies.


    On the day of the anniversary, L was sitting with Nicole inside the LN coffee shop, browsing the hot


    topics on Weibo.


    It wasn''t long until the news of the uing SL anniversary ceremony trended as the second most


    talked about headline on Weibo.


    Over the past several years, Harry had seldom appeared in public. But in thest year, he had stayed


    in Ascea. So this year, the question whether Harry would attend the ceremony, became another hot


    topic.


    Around four o''clock in the afternoon, L was filled with both nervousness and expectation. As the


    night came closer and closer, the feelings grew more and more intense inside her.


    Would hee? The clock showed that it was almost five. Maybe he wouldn''t?


    While she was pondering, the ss door of the shop opened, and Harry walked inside; she was just


    thinking about him.


    "Hello!" The shop''s assistants greeted Harry with excitement. He was rumored to be courting their


    boss, L; that was all what the staff was gossiping about.


    When Harry showed up at the door, L noticed him instantly.


    While he was approaching her, L''s heart raced faster and faster. She closed her eyes while still


    sitting in the chair and pretended she didn''t notice him.


    Seeing that L wasn''t paying attention, he put on his exclusive smile, which was just for her, and held


    her up from the chair.


    His gentleness had already mesmerized a lot of female customers in the shop.


    "He is so handsome!" "Indeed,ing here actually offers us a chance to see Harry."


    "Right. I didn''t wait here in vain for several days after all."


    "I have to hurry and take a picture of him! Oh my god, what a rare opportunity! Is he really smiling? He


    is so bloody handsome!"
