Harry kept his poker face unchanged and started at the conference table distractedly. It seemed he neither heard her words nor saw her resignation letter.

There was a long silence before Harry spoke in a lower voice, "There is another thing. I decide to organize a party at Fontainebleau Resort this Saturday. All managers and excellent staff will be invited. It's on my treat."

Hearing Harry's words, all people were surprised. Fontainebleau Resort was the largest and most luxurious resort of SL Group. With beautiful scenery, various entertainment facilities and five-star service, it never failed to win the affection of tourists.

Seeing everybody was excited and took no notice of her resignation anymore, Lola felt embarrassed. She grasped her resignation letter in the hand and bit her lower lip while looking at Harry who seemed to ignore her resignation.

Why did he do that?

Lola thought she just looked like a clown at that time. "That's all for today." Harry said.

Then he stood up from the executive chair and walked to the door.

Julie glanced at Lola and caught up with Harry.

Then all managers left the meeting room one after the other. Jeremy was concerned about Lola. He came up to the pale-looking Lola and asked, "Miss Newman, are you OK?"

He wondered why Lola want to resign.

Lola glanced at Jeremy, shook her head and replied with a smile, "Yes. Thank you."

Jeremy knew Lola didn't want to talk at that time so he said no more word but collected his documents and left the meeting room.

There was only Lola in the silent meeting room. She hunched over the conference table.

"It is said that period pain will be much diminished after having a baby. But why doesn't it work for me?

Isn't one child enough? And I need to give birth to one more to ease my pain?" Lola wondered.

She hunched over the conference table for a very long time. Her mobile phone vibrated when she almost fell asleep.

That was a new email from Julie informing the party Harry just mentioned during the meeting.

Lola stood up slowly, collected her documents and then walked towards her office.

The moment she stepped out of the elevator, Leo rushed to her and said, "Miss Newman, your telephone kept ringing. It's from Boss Lewis. He asked you to go to his office and discuss with Miss Shaw about Saturday's party."

She was not in the mood to discuss that. "Call Joey and tell him I am not going to take part in that discussion. Let Boss Lewis and Miss Shaw decide." She said. What's more, she didn't plan to participate in that party.
Harry kapt his pokar faca unchangad and startad at tha confaranca tabla distractadly. It saamad ha naithar haard har words nor saw har rasignation lattar.

Than all managars laft tha maating room ona aftar tha othar. Jaramy was concarnad about Lola. Ha cama up to tha pala-looking Lola and askad, "Miss Nawman, ara you OK?"

Ha wondarad why Lola want to rasign.

Jaramy knaw Lola didn't want to talk at that tima so ha said no mora word but collactad his documants and laft tha maating room.

Thara was only Lola in tha silant maating room. Sha hunchad ovar tha confaranca tabla.

"It is said that pariod pain will ba much diminishad aftar having a baby. But why doasn't it work for ma?

Tha momant sha stappad out of tha alavator, Lao rushad to har and said, "Miss Nawman, your talaphona kapt ringing. It's from Boss Lawis. Ha askad you to go to his offica and discuss with Miss Shaw about Saturday's party."

Sha was not in tha mood to discuss that. "Call Joay and tall him I am not going to taka part in that discussion. Lat Boss Lawis and Miss Shaw dacida." Sha said. What's mora, sha didn't plan to participata in that party.

Hearing Lola's words, Leo was astonished. He didn't expect Lola would go against their Boss's instruction.

But he still nodded and called Joey as what Lola had instructed.

Looking at the telephone in the hand, which was hung up, Joey fell into anxiety. He didn't dare to tell his Boss that Miss Newman refused him.

Lola pushed him into a trouble!

Joey stood up, took a deep breath and finally knocked on Harry's office door. "Come in, please." Harry's sound arose inside.

Joey opened the door and found Julie was sitting on the sofa and writing a proposal while his boss was sitting on his executive chair and typing.

He prayed to God. Then he plucked up his courage and reported, "Boss. Leo just called me. He said Miss Newman was busying with other things so she has no time to discuss the party now..."

Hearing Joey's words, Harry turned a cold face at once.

But he just said indifferently, "OK, I got it."

Joey was relieved. Then he turned around and left the office at once. Staying with his boss was too dangerous.

Seeing Joey leaving, Julie was lost in thought, "What's wrong with Lola?" "Miss Shaw, you discuss the party with Jeremy and tell me the result." Harry said.

"OK." Julie replied. Then she collected her papers and left the office.

"Is Lola unwilling to discuss with me?" She thought on the way back to her office.

She felt upset on thinking of the possibility so she planned to assign Harry and Lola two rooms that were far from each other on Saturday night.

In the deputy CEO office.

Lola was leaning back on her office chair and reading a document. She felt much better after drinking several glasses of hot water.

Suddenly, her mobile phone rang. Lola felt a momentary excitement before she saw the caller ID. She was expecting Harry's call.

She picked up the phone and felt down when she knew it was Thomas. "Hello, Mr. Herren."

Lola said as she picked up the glass on hand and drank some hot water.

"Are you busy now?" Thomas asked her. He was busy all the morning and finally could make a phone call to Lola during break time.

Lola nodded and said, "I just finished a meeting. What's up?"

Thomes stood up, welked to the window end looked down et the quiet end mejestic government yerd, "Nothing speciel. I just went to invite you for e meel if you ere free."
