The lobby on the first floor was empty. Lola took the elevator directly to the 28th floor where the president office was located. As soon as she got off the elevator, she heard Mike informing the media, "I will soon be engaged to Sara Ellsworth, daughter of the president of Ellsworth Group. Thanks for your best wishes. Thank you!"

He will soon... be engaged to Sara Ellsworth... daughter of the president of Ellsworth Group! Sara? Her bestie over the past 11 years?

Another bomb was dropped on Lola. Zoe, behind her, turned furious after hearing those words and intended to beat him.

Lola plucked hard at his hem of clothes and shook her head at him, as she wanted to learn what Mike would continue to say.

"Mr. Braxton, it is said that you are dating Carl Nixon's daughter, Lola. Now you are going to be engaged to Miss Ellsworth. Can you explain that?"

Mike, being the General Manager of Nixon Group at the young age of 24, was listed among the most desirable golden bachelors in the upper class. Not to mention, his gentle, learned and refined appearance made him more popular to girls. That was also the reason why Lola liked him in the first place, wasn't it?

"Yes, I was dating her. But it's been a long time since we broke up." Mike answered the media, with a consistent gentle facial expression and a soft tone.

What he said, however, pierced Lola's heart like a sharp knife.

She suddenly recalled that she felt uncomfortable right after drinking the glass of red wine that Mike handed her, and it was Sara that walked her upstairs.

"Hahaha..." Sneer came from behind, which was so loud that everyone in the hall can hear it, when the reporters took close-ups of Mike.

All of them looked back curiously and found that the woman who sneered loudly looked familiar.

"Lola! She is Lola Nixon! Carl's beloved daughter!" An experienced reporter recognized Lola. Just then, all reporters ran to her, and Lola was closely surrounded.

Mike's face didn't look very well when he saw Lola. Why was she here in the company? Where had she been after drinking the red wine? Mike didn't love her at all. What he desires was her body, and he was so close to get that last night. But he could not find her after greeting Carl, wasting such a good chance. Damn it!

"Miss Nixon, why do you laugh?"

"Do you know anything about President Nixon?"

"Why did you break up with General Manager Braxton?"

The reporters kept raising questions. Lola looked at nothing but Mike's displeased face, staring at him as if he was her enemy.

He made no explanation. Could she draw a conclusion that Mike and his father robbed her father's company, abandoned her who has nothing at all then, and was going to be betrothed to her best friend?

She could not blame on anyone else, because Zoe had warned her that Sara was not pure-minded and she ignored it.

"What do you guys want to know? I will tell you anything. Why did we break up? Well, do you know what I nicknamed him? Three-Sec Braxton! Yes, he lasts short in bed. An apple of Sodom. And Sara Ellsworth, a home wrecker, had an affair with Three-Sec Braxton when we were still together. Now they join hands to frame up my dad and occupy his company. I will be at daggers drawn with them from this moment on!"

Everyone kept silent within a few seconds after Lola finished talking. Mike looked at her with a twisted face. One third of what she

said was correct. And how dared she call him Three-Sec Braxton? They had been together for three years. He really should have screwed her to show her if he can only last for three seconds.

"Lola, I understand how you feel right now. Nevertheless, you are over the top by making things up like this. Conclusive evidence against Mr. Nixon has been provided. My father and I are very disappointed too. And Sara..." Mike adjusted his mood and resumed his gentle voice. But before he could finish it, Lola went into the president office directly with the help of Zoe, not giving him even a glance.

In such a case, the reporters had to focus on Mike again.

In the president office.

Zoe didn't go into the office together. Instead, he waited outside.

Lola gently pushed the door and walked into the room. Carl, sitting at the desk and resting his forehead in the right hand with eyes closed, was immersed in thought.

"Dad..."

"Lola, here you come." Carl smiled, which brought tears to Lola's eyes, as his smile was so unnatural that it was uglier than crying.

"Dad, don't be sad. Grandma and I will stay with you, OK?" Lola tried to make her voice easy and relaxed, but she failed and sobbed when she saw some grey hairs on Carl's head.
