No Escape From Mr. CEO's Dangerous Love

Chapter 175

"Zoe, I'm telling you. The Newman family has strong connections in Ascea; they're quite a powerful force there. If you could manage to marry Ms. Newman, it would be terrific. Now that Harry has a fiancee and Thomas is impeached by the officials due to Lola, it's the perfect timing for you to get Lola" said Andrew. He had spent a great sum of money only to get such poor information and this fact angered him greatly.

Zoe scornfully glanced at Andrew and said: "You shouldn't bother yourself with all these things. You should better mind your own health!" Andrew was now in the final stages of his cancer and was scheduled to go into surgery in a couple of days' time.

Zoe closed the CEO's office door and walked straight to his motorcycle.

He had already been in Ascea for a couple of years, but for transport he preferred the motorcycle over the limo the Dawson family offered him.

In Lux Bar.

Not so many guests were in the bar as it was still early, but the flow of soothing pop music songs which filled the air made Zoe feel quite relaxed and at ease.

He found a quiet, discreet booth in a corner, sat down and ordered himself a shot of liquor. Then he started texting his whereabouts to Lola.

Another half an hour passed and Lola finally showed up. Now the bar was crowded and was almost full.

She found the booth Zoe was in, sat down and casually put her bag behind her back.

"Hey Zoe, are you on a diet recently? How is it that you lost so much weight?" asked Lola. Lola leaned over and carefully examined Zoe under the bar's colorful lights.

Zoe touched his chin, which looked skinnier than before, and shrugged his shoulders: "Maybe it's because of all the busy work I'm doing that stresses me out and that I'm not used to it quite yet!" He wouldn't mention the real reason to others.

Lola, on the other hand, was still as charming and delightful as he saw her last time, a long time ago.

"You should eat more. You really lost a lot of weight! You look way too skinny now!"

Zoe brushed her off by nodding his head and calling the waiter for more liquor. He wanted Lola to order something to drink so that they could avoid this topic.

Lola ordered herself a glass of Night Elf. The cocktail was low in alcohol and tasted sweet and not very spicy.


She leaned over to him and whispered in his ear in a mischievous manner: "If I'm drunk later, you can call Harry and tell him to pick me up!" It was clear that she had it all planned out from the very beginning, even arriving at the bar by cab.

In the dim light of the bar, there was something strange in Zoe's eyes. However, Lola didn't seem to notice.

"Good!" began Zoe, "How are things with you two now?" He acted as casually as possible as he asked her.

Lola gave him a weary smile and her sad glance made Zoe feel sorry for her.

"What's going on between you two anyway? Look at yourself, I feel so sorry for you!" He curled up his lips in defiance.

Lola lightly smiled back at him and said: "A lot of things happened, but I believe that eventually there will be a happy ending between the two of us!" She would definitely have to work harder for their love!

Zoe also smiled. In fact, as long as Lola was happy, he would always feel rest assured that all was well.

Lola felt at ease now and was acting herself with Zoe, and the two chatted happily for over two hours. She did not avoid talking about Nicole with him. All night long she constantly mentioned of Nicole and Harry.

She was so fixed on talking about her own issues that she didn't pay any close attention to Zoe's appearance.

When Lola was on her third glass of Night Elf, her face was already flushing red.

Zoe was listening to her with a gentle smile on his lips. He couldn't help himself but think that Lola was such a beauty when she was talking with such excitement.

But when she was sad and her eyes were full of sorrow he turned gloomy as well, as if he was sharing her state.

He enjoyed looking at her and listening to her with the utmost interest. For him, this was blissful.

"Zoe, I think I'm drunk! Make the phone call, now!" Lola now leaned against the bar and took out her cell phone. She unlocked it and handed it to Zoe.

The screen picture was that of a sweet girl with a beautiful, radiant smile. It must be her daughter, Nicole! How cute she was! She looked very much like her!

He flipped through the contacts and saw a number registered for Lewis. He dialed it.

The phone was soon connected and Zoe heard a deep male voice, but not as cold as it usually was. This really must be love, Zoe thought. Harry was well-known for his ruthlessness, but now it seemed that he treated his special girl with great gentleness and care.

"Lola's drunk. We're at the Lux Bar. You should come and pick her up!" Zoe spoke with calm on the phone and his voice sounded just like four years ago.

"Zoe?" Harry's voice was not quite sure of who was speaking on the other line.

How come Zoe was with Lola? For a moment, Harry thought he was back at Dreles.

"It's me, " said Zoe. "Lux Bar, booth 9. She's already asleep." A bitter smile spread across Zoe's face as he silently gazed at the now sleeping girl.

She looked both sweet and sexy.

Harry was working on his computer in the office lounge and wasn't planning on returning to Crescent Spring this night.

As soon as he ended the call, Harry shut down his computer, took his briefcase, and drove towards the Lux Bar in a hurry.

But before he arrived at the bar, Harry took out his phone and quickly booked a room with the Sea View Hotel.

Lola was, indeed, quite drunk. When she saw Harry coming in, she jumped up and down in delight and even dragged him on the dance floor.
