When Lola finally woke up, she found herself again on a plane flying to Ascea. She had been on this occasion for two times.

Even Lola herself was confused at this. Did she really sleep so soundly that she felt nothing when Harry dressed her and carried her out of the manor? Or maybe it was because Harry looked after her in a very gentle way.

The plane landed on the backyard of the Newman villa, where Lola got off with her legs already shivering.

She endured the pain and didn't go to the hospital yesterday. The pain seemed to be getting worse today, so she went directly to the garage and drove to the hospital at once after she got off the plane. She was bracing for the worst...

......

She registered and asked for a specialist treatment, paid the medical expenses, and went back to the company.

Lola sat in the deputy CEO office, and tried to refresh herself by closing her eyes. After a few minutes, she took out her phone, took a photo of her medical record and sent it to Harry. She was gnashing her teeth in anxiety.

"Harry! You must reimburse ten times the medical expenses!"

In mere seconds, her phone received a message. It indicated that Harry had transferred 50 million dollars to her......

What? Wow! The medical expenses only cost her 500 dollars. She just teased him into paying ten times the original amount and that would just cost 5, 000 dollars. But he gave her 50 million dollars instead! How many banks does this guy own?

It was such a large amount of money that she can squander the money for many years even if she does not go to work.

However, her melting heart calmed down when she remember that Harry gave her a shock yesterday at the meeting. He straight up embarrassed her.

Sitting up straight, Lola called Leo on the internal line, "Please ask Joshua from the Design Department to come to my office!"

She would solve the recent three problems one by one. She hoped to finish and solve these issues today.


She felt guilty of it because she thought that she was a bit negligent of the happenings around her.

She determined to rectify the company's ethos and punish the black sheep.

Joshua came over right away. It seemed like he was in a bad mood.

"Miss Newman!" Joshua greeted Lola politely as he knew clearly about the reason why Lola called him in.

A funny person suddenly became so courteous. Lola felt a little unaccustomed about this version of Joshua.

"Have a seat. I bet you know the reason I called you in.", said Lola. She stood up, poured him a glass of water and placed it in front of him.

"Thank you, Miss Newman. And yes I know that." Everyone in the Design Department ignored him and gave him a hard time for what happened recently.

Lola sat opposite Joshua. It was the first time that they had talked in such a calm and serious manner.

"I can give you an opportunity to explain. So tell me everything and don't you dare hide something from me.."

Joshua seriously looked at Lola and said, "Miss Newman, do you believe in me? Do you trust me?" In his opinion, he can explain to her only if Lola was willing to believe him. Otherwise, what was the point of explaining this to her?

Lola nodded without hesitation and answered, "Although I don't contact you very often, I believe you did not do this because you have a similar character to my brother who is very honest."

Looking at Lola, Joshua was so moved by her words since she was the only one to believe in him. It means a lot and he knows that he owes this woman a lot.

Joshua returned to the Design Department after they intently talked for about an hour in the office.

"Oh, the thief has come back from the CEO office!" Seeing Joshua walking out, a male colleague mocked him without mercy. He was getting used to it, anyway.

Another male colleague followed suit. "I think that the thief has hooked up with Miss Newman. You're getting rid of your dues by cheating, right?"

"Ha ha ha!" Several male colleagues that gathered in the tea room laughed bluntly.

Clenching his fists, Joshua flushed in anger because his patience had reached its end! He was innocent! Why did they keep on insulting him! Why didn't they try to investigate first? He could bear the insults before, but they had gone too far this time! They must have inner motives to say that he hooked up with Miss Newman!

He darted forward. When he was about to smack his colleague with his fist, a voice behind immediately stopped him.

"Joshua!", Lola shouted at him. She had already predicted that many people would gossip if she called Joshua to the office.

It happened exactly as she expected.

Seeing Lola, a few people in the design department became so nervous and immediately became respectful. "Miss Newman!" After the greetings, they proceeded to their seats, carrying their cups.

"Stop!", Lola called out.

Standing still with their heads bowed down, they were so scared because they thought that they are doomed.

Lola took a few steps forward, pointed at one of the people and sternly asked, "What's your name? Who told you Joshua hooked up with me?"
