Chapter 220 Thomas Herren''s Resignation


    Soon enough, L''s WeChat app stopped working.


    ...


    She cast it away in distress. It may have crashed because of the barrage of messages that she


    received. It would be wiser to concentrate on her work first.


    Around noon L turned her phone on again to search for a nearby restaurant for her lunch. She


    clicked open the Weibo app and was surprised of what she saw.


    The headline was Thomas Herren''s resignation. The inte was full of its coverage. It became a


    nationwide issue.


    L''s attention was caught immediately. She stopped chewing her food as she quickly browsed


    through the news. It shocked her that Thomas Herren had officially resigned from his post today and


    was now taking a back seat and working on some minor governmental issues. It was really true. She


    actually thought that Thomas was just bluffing...


    But he really quit his job! It stirred the world that he just suddenly decided to resign from the position of


    the president.


    Major news tforms were reporting the matter in details.


    Many citizens felt greatly sorry that their handsome and kind president decided to fade out of the stage.


    Thomas Herren was not just a physical specimen, he was also efficient in what he does.


    Right at that very moment, the beloved former president was dialing L''s number.


    He couldn''t help but think about her all the time. Without even noticing himself, he already dialed her


    number. His heart still screamed for L. All these years...


    "How about going to the mall tonight? Will that be okay for you?" His tone was casual and joyful. L


    could sense his smile just by hearing his voice.


    She thought about it and happily epted his offer. "Sure. But I might be finishingte today. There''s a


    lot of work to do." She had a spoonful of her lunch, a te of pae, which she ordered just moments


    ago.


    This Thomas, he just wouldn''t stop chasing after her! Why always her? He could always win anybody''s


    heart. She needed to have a word with him tonight. She needed to stop this. She didn''t want to waste


    his time...


    "It''s okay, I wille and pick you up." Thomas sat in the armchair on his balcony. He had never been


    this rxed. His job always forced him to be alert and mindful of everything.


    L finished the call by confirming that she will indeed go with him. Then she quickly ate up the


    remaining food and returned to herpany.


    As she was about to enter the building, she ran into a woman.


    L examined thedy in curiosity as she didn''t know why she would stop in front of her like that. The


    chubby woman was in her thirties and was wearing a piece of dark blue dress. She had a pair of white


    wedges on her feet and a matching bag of the same color in her hands.


    The woman looked sad at first but her eyes were shining with excitement when she recognized L.


    L was very famous in the area.


    "Hello, sorry to bother you. I know you are very busy. But are you Nicole''s mother?" Marry Li asked


    L as she gazed at her with glee. L was very elegant and she dressed in style. She could tell that


    Nicole inherited her taste for sophistication.


    Nicole? Was she the mother of that boy? She must be the one then.


    L nodded: "How can I help you?" She had a hunch what the woman was after but she still asked her


    politely. She didn''t want to sound rude.


    Marry''s tears instantly streamed down her face. She cried and begged, "Oh, please! I apologize to you.


    Could you please tell Nicole''s dad to spare my husband? We are very sorry for causing inconvenience


    to you and your daughter." Her husband was fired by hispany for some random reason the other


    day. What''s worse, most majorpanies didn''t wish to hire him at all. Harry Si was the only person


    who can influencepanies that much. He was very powerful.


    Marry was not stupid. She figured out pretty soon what was going on.


    But she dared not to tell her husband the truth. She had to find L in private to solve the issue. It was


    their fault and she needed to take an initiative. She waited outside the school for several days. It turned


    out that Nicole''s grandparents or uncle would always apany Nicole every day. She never got the


    chance to meet Nicole''s mother.


    Eventually, she found out an information from the headmaster that Nicole''s mother was the female


    acting CEO of the famous SL group. Marry was utterly shocked.


    She had never been this sorry as to cross and argue with someone like her - ady from the famed Li


    family!


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    She tried to find L in her office. But the security wouldn''t let her in. She thought the only way to meet


    L was to bump right into her and talked to her in front of the office building.


    As soon as she learned from the security man that this stylishdy was L Li, the female CEO, she


    quickly walked up to her. The first impression of L overwhelmed her.


    L was so charming and full of character. Marry Li felt humble in front of her straight away. Moreover,


    she was not arrogant and proud.


    L heaved a sigh and replied, "Nicole''s dad did that. You need to talk to him, not me." Sheid


    emphasis on the words, "Nicole''s dad."


    Marry''s tears wouldn''t stop as she had absolutely no idea who Nicole''s father was. She made a


    sessful effort in finding out about L Li but for that mysterious man, she knew she had no chance.


    Where the hell could she find him? Marry wiped her tears with the back of her hand and begged even


    harder, "Please, Miss Li, I know you are kind-hearted. Could you spare my husband please?" Marry


    was so sad that she was about to kneel in front of L.


    L quickly stopped her as people around them had already turned heads. Many people passing by


    were casting questioning looks in their direction.


    L felt absurd to be stopped by a crying woman under the broad light.


    "Stop it right now. Just go home. I will talk to Nicole''s dad. You don''t have to worry about it." L


    couldn''t bear seeing Marry behaving like that. She gave up and agreed to her.


    On hearing her promise, Marry instantly lit up. A big smile spread over her face. She bent down in front


    of L and thanked her over and over: "You are such a wonderful person! Thank you Miss Li, thank


    you!"


    More and more heads turned. L felt awkward by the situation. She quickly waved Marry goodbye:


    "No worries. Please just go. And take care."


    Marry went away with tears on her face. She had decided that the first thing she would do when she


    got home was to transfer her son to another school. They should stay away from the Li family as far as


    possible.


    Later on, everyone at Nicole''s kindergarten learnt that Nicole Li had powerful parents. Her


    grandparents and uncles were also powerful. They had never seen her father but no-one dared to call


    her a fatherless bastard anymore.


    At 7 pm.


    L''s phone suddenly rang. It was Thomas. She quickly signed the documents at hand and pressed


    the loudspeaker button.


    "Are you done at work now?" His voice was peaceful and soothing. For a moment, she thought she


    was speaking to Mike.


    She nodded then she realized he couldn''t see her. L quickly replied, "Soon."


    "Alright, I will see you downstairs then."


    L abruptly packed her stuff and walked out of the office building with her bag. On the square outside


    of herpany, a man in a blue striped shirt and ck trousers was standing and waiting for her. He


    looked charming with his hands in the trousers'' pockets and a big handsome smile. He was looking


    straight at her.


    As L walked into his sight, his smile grew even bigger.


    L returned him a sweet smile: "Sorry for keeping you waiting. I appreciate youing here to fetch


    me."


    Thomas shook his head. "No big deal. How about dinner with me? What do you fancy tonight? I''ll let


    you choose." They walked towards the limo parked by the roadside. Thomas waved at the driver as he


    personally opened the back seat door for L.


    L said thank you to him in a soft voice. She couldn''t deny that Thomas was really sweet.


    When he joined her from the other side of the car, she said: "Anything will do. Surprise me."


    Thomas looked at her and said: "I thought hotpot would be your best option." He remembered that was


    what the due diligence report wrote.


    L thought for a second and agreed: "Why not. There is one that I would like to try. Right on the high


    street." She rmended with great interest.


    Thomas asked the chauffeur to head for the high street. Then he turned around and fetched a big box


    for her. His eyes were shining with excitement, "Open it! I hope you like it."


    L was surprised. She took the box and gazed at the wrapping. She was feeling both excited and


    anxious about this. It was a delicate square-shaped box with a beautiful white bow on top of it.


    The box was huge. She opened it and found a bunch of rare blue roses inside. They were really


    beautiful. She counted them and realized there were 19 roses on the box.


    "I had them air-transported from Japan earlier today. Do you like them? I hope you do." He was very


    satisfied and fulfilled to see L be surprised with joy.


    L was truly moved. How she wish it was Harry who sent her these roses.
