"I will give you his phone number. If you cannot get in, call him." Lola told so to Zoe and entered Harry's private number in his cellphone.

"Ok. Lola, if you need me, let me know. I am always by your side." Lola felt a deep affection from Zoe, but she didn't take it seriously and shook her head to wake herself up.

"Got it. One more thing…" Lola thought it was better to move from Thomas's place as soon as possible. After all, it was not convenient to live there.

"What's up?" Zoe asked. He was very willing to help.

"I would like to rent a house. Could you help?"

"No problem. What kind of house do you want? "

"Some place quiet and clean with adequate space for solo living." Lola answered. She didn't ask for much.

"Ok. I will get going later and call you by tomorrow."

After talking about some other stuff, Lola went to the Blue Island Mall and called Wendy at the gate.

Wendy had already gone home after work. She was so excited about Lola's call that she jumped off the chair immediately.

If Lola did not repeatedly guarantee that she was ok, she could hardly stop Wendy's eagerness to meet her.

"It is late today. How about talking in Wechat? I will go for you sometime later", Lola promised.

"All right. Drive safe", Wendy said. Lola hung up the phone and drove away.

The next day, Zoe dialed the number Lola gave him.

"Hello!" A colder voice came over the phone.

"Are you at work now? I have something from Lola", his directness made Harry silent for a while.

"I will be there soon, " said Harry finally.

Joey picked up Zoe on the first floor and guided him upstairs. Looking at the huge office, he sneered.

What was the use of owning such a big company, for such an idiot both mentally and emotionally?

In the office, the sneer disappeared suddenly when Zoe made an eye contact with the man smoking at the desk. He got the chills and threw the portfolio onto the desk.

"No word from her?" The man didn't hurry to reach for the portfolio, but threw a question.

"No." Zoe answered. The man silently took out the stuff in the portfolio with a cigarette in his mouth.

An apartment key, a car key, a ring, a certificate of Blue Island Mall, a property ownership certificate, two bank cards, few printed A4 papers with the title of Divorce Agreement.

With Lola's signature, the agreement showed that Lola wanted nothing from the divorce.

Seeing her signature in a delicate hand-writing, Harry took a deep puff.

She didn't want anything as if she would like to erase the marriage from her mind.

Harry's facial expression could not be seen as he kept puffing smoke.

Then he took the pen on the desk and signed his name next to the signature of Lola.

His vigorous signature meant the real end of the marriage which lasted for less than a year.

It was getting colder and colder. The good thing was that there was heating in Lola's house.

She had been here for half a month. The place was not that large, less than 969 sf, which was enough for her.

Today was her first day of period. Lola didn't feel well, so she went to a nearby supermarket to get some sanitary pad.

She went out in a hurry so that she forgot her sunglasses. Walking to the Women's Care with the head down, she suddenly walked into someone.

"Sorry!" She apologized immediately in a weak voice. But...

"Lola?" A familiar female voice came into her ears, making her numb and sick.

Her guess was right. Harry was standing beside Yolanda. It seemed that they came for the same thing.

"They would be closer to each other without her, " she thought. Lola went to the cashier after taking the pads she needed at random.

It started snowing when she came out. She tried to calm down and went back home.

Harry watched her receding figure indifferently, and walked to his car with arm around Yolanda's shoulder.
