Chapter 107 Promotion and Pay Raise


    L was so embarrassed that she pinched Harry''s waist sharply. But it was toote to do so.


    Harold and Angie had got out of the car and Angie walked up to the kissing couple with a serious face.


    She had recognized that figure. It could be no one else but her daughter.


    Harry didn''t release L until he felt someone had approached them.


    L felt so awkward and felt like digging a hole to hide in when she recognized Angie. Being caught on


    the spot, she could not keep her head up, but greeted Angie in a weak voice, "Mother ."


    L blushed with shame. Angie didn''t look at L, but stared at Harry angrily. "Good evening,


    madam." Harry greeted Angie in a polite manner and nodded to Harold who was standing not far away


    from him.


    "Who are you?" Angie asked. She still stared at Harry grimly. Had been living in the army for such a


    long time, she was ustomed to act this way. People would show their weakness when facing her.


    But when it came to Harry, things would be different.


    Harry didn''t expect that he would be dragged into his car when he was about to introduce himself. He


    had no idea when L had opened the door of his car, nor did he thought that L should have such


    great strength to shove him into his car.


    L locked the door of the car and walked hand in hand with Angie towards home and exined,


    "Mother, that man is just my boss. Don''t get me wrong. Let''s go home."


    Harry already had a dirty look when he was dragged into the car. He became livid when heard L''s


    words and thought, "I''m only your boss? Don''t get you wrong? Fine, L! I will change your malicious


    mind."


    L got in Harold''s car with her mother. "L, is that your new boyfriend?" Angie asked. Her face was


    not that cold now. She understood that it was natural for her daughter to get a new boyfriend, but this


    time, she would like to y her role as a mother to avoid a failed marriage.


    "Mother, no, he is my boss..." L replied diffidently. She was not sure whether she should tell her


    parents that Harry was the birth father of Nicole. "How could a boss take advantage of his subordinate


    right in front of his subordinate''s house? L, don''t be tricked by him." Angie warned. She was a bit


    miffed when she heard L''s answer. After all, kissing and hand holding were only naturally between


    couples. If that man had nothing to do with L, how could he take advantage of her daughter?


    "Mother, he is ..." L wanted to exin, but had no idea what to say. She knew her mother''s words


    were out of kindness.

    "Enough. L is an adult. She has her own thoughts and ideas. Mind your own business." Harold said


    so to Angie, which rescued L. He knew what kind of person his daughter was and believed that she


    would always behave herself.


    "I''m worrying about you, L. I understand that you want to remarry a man for the sake of Nicole and


    yourself. Be careful and let us know this time, ok?" Sitting at the front passenger seat, Angie turned


    around and said so to L. She was very concerned and worried about L.


    "Ok. Got it. Thank you." L replied. She understood that her parents never wanted her to meet


    someone like Harry again, but they didn''t know the only man that ever had a rtionship with her was


    Harry...


    The three went back to the vi. After checking that Nicole slept well, L threw herself onto the bed.


    She hesitated for a moment, then decided to send Harry a message, "Harry, it would be better if we do


    not meet each other again in private."


    In seconds, she received a reply, "No way!"


    L can imagine the expression of Harry when he was editing the text. He must be furious and was


    eager to kill her.


    "Are you determined to revenge on me for your fiancee?" L asked hopelessly. Harry pulled over his


    car to read this message.


    "Maybe she is right. But if I just want to get back at her, why do I care for her every day?" Harry


    thought.


    "So d that you know this." So he quickly typed a few words and sent them, but got no reply then.


    Holding a pillow in her arms, L read the message and cried silently.


    "If he did not have a fiancee, I might simply get back together with him. Even though he misunderstood


    me as someone malicious, I believed that time would prove everything, didn''t it? But he did have a


    fiancee, with whom I would have lots of fights in the soon future. Whose side would he stand by?


    Would he be tolerant of my revenge on Ynda?" L thought.


    The air grew darker and darker. L dozed off to sleep.


    Friday morning was the time for regr meetings of senior management. On that day, L walked in


    the meeting room on her heels after making sure that her makeup was perfect.


    Wearing a suit, Harry also came in with a cold face two minutes ahead of the meeting time.


    He threw a report on the desk, which puzzled the executives. They had no idea what did that mean but


    looked at one another dumbly.


    Harry then began to talk, "Theron Xing, the deputy CEO of thepany, has embezzled money and


    engaged in corrupt practices." Theron was dumbfounded and thought, "How does the CEO get to know


    his secret?"


    "Boss, do you have any evidence?" Theron asked. He tried to keep calm, but his hands under the desk


    couldn''t stop trembling.


    Harry rolled his eyes with a cold face after hearing the question, then he turned to Jack Chang and


    said, "Jack Chang, the vice general manager, has harassed many female employees, epted bribes


    and bought furniture for his vi with embezzled money."


    "I''m innocent, boss." Jack argued. He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with a pale face and


    struggled desperately.


    "Innocent? Evidence? Check for yourselves. Theron Xing and Jack Chang would be fired after making


    up for thepany loss. General manager L Li is promoted to the deputy CEO. HR manager is


    responsible for the candidates of new general manager and vice general manager. Qualified


    candidates must pass the interview of the new deputy CEO. That''s all for today. Any questions,e


    for me after the meeting." Harry said. He then left the room directly.


    Tongues wagged. Theron and Jack hurried to check the portfolio on the desk.


    Inside were the joint report from some female employees against Jack and evidence of bribery about


    Theron, which made the two speechless.


    Firing two executives and promoting L to deputy CEO in less than three minutes'' meeting. That was


    Harry''s style.


    Following Harry, Joey admired Harry in his heart and finally got to know the reason why Harry was so


    busy recently.


    L was baffled by the sudden promotion and left the meeting room under the envious and jealous


    gazes of others.


    In that afternoon, L moved to the deputy CEO office with the help of Leo.


    Looking at the empty office of deputy CEO, L felt veryplicated.


    Workce was like battlefield. It was possible that she would be fired from a high position someday.


    Jack was one of the examples. Actually, Jack intended to harass her one year ago. But she got away


    decisively.


    Afterwards, Jack wanted to find fault with her to fire her. But she always behaved herself well and never


    gave him a chance to do so. She never expected that Harry would get things clear soon after he took


    office.


    Thinking for a while, L decided to go upstairs and talked to Harry.
