No Escape From Mr. CEO's Dangerous Love

"Does a movie date sound good to you?" Lola paused as it was already eight in the evening. Wouldn't it be too late for a movie?

Thomas noticed her look and laughed. "I have officially resigned from my job. I have plenty of time to have dates with you from now on!" Harry had turned his back from her. Everything should be back to normal, right?

Was this true? He resigned? But his job was very important to him. Lola stared at Thomas in disbelief. "Why did you quit your job? You have already invested so much of yourself in it." She was secretly hoping that he did it not because of her.

Lovingly stroking her long hair dyed in wine color, Thomas gave her a big smile. "It was too tiring. It was time for me to leave anyway. I have no regrets."

He was already thirty five years-old. He has devoted all his time and effort to the government and the country. He felt that he should do something for himself now.

Lola felt relieved as she found out that she shared the same sentiments with Thomas. She had been fully occupied these days herself. She nodded in agreement, "Good for you. It has been the same for me too."

The chauffeur took them to Grandix Mall. Thomas had his sunglasses on as he walked side by side with Lola. There was an obvious awkward connection between them. Together, they went up to the top floor.

Inside Grandix Cinema.

Yolanda and Joseph didn't do film together anymore. They each had their respective films in the prime time shows.

Without any doubts, Lola chose to watch the film Joseph starred in. It was a comedy.

Lola told Thomas to wait for her as she went to get them popcorn and soda.

She smiled at him and explained: "They are essential for watching a movie! Popcorn and soda! Without both of these, it will be really boring just sitting and watching." Thomas smiled in glee when he saw her charming, enthusiastic look.

"This is the first time I came to watch a movie. I don't know about that!" The old version of him had absolutely no time for this kind of activities. He was traveling between countries and cities, dealing with all kinds of public affairs. It was a time-demanding work.

His presence in the cinema turned several heads. Some young girls seemed to spot him and they kept casting flirting glances at his direction.

The movie would start soon so they hurried into the viewing hall.

He had an eventful past and now the only thing he wished for was a simple life. He wished for a life where he get to accompany the one he loved, occasionally go to the mall with her and enjoy a movie or two. This was what he longed for.

On their way to the hall, Thomas held the popcorn between his arm and chest so that he could hold the soda in his left hand and use the right hand to hold Lola's hand.

Lola blushed and tried to get free from him. She could not deny that this was very sweet. However, he insisted, so they walked into the hall hand in hand. The hall was almost full. Most of the audience were girls and some couples were there as well. They came to watch Joseph, a very famous acting superstar in the entertainment industry.

Lola sighed in silence. She would like to clarify something with him before it was too late.

The movie started. Joseph's role in the movie was a young man whose previously rich family became very poor. Joseph's character in the movie went to Dubai to find his loved one when his family went into bankruptcy. Gone were the days when he was just a spoiled brat with huge wealth. He was now a humble man who had to work with his bare hands.

He met a girl on his way. All kinds of funny incidents happened along the journey Finally, he found his lover in Dubai but it turned out that she was already married. She turned her back on him when she found out that his family has ran out of money. He became depressed but found solace in the girl that he met on his way there.

This was a romantic comedy. The girl on their way to Dubai confessed her love to him but he turned it down.

With a broken heart, Joseph returned to his own country. Starting again from scratch, he made his fortune through several years of hard work. In the end, he became a self-made billionaire. His ex-girlfriend changed her mind upon seeing him become successful again. The girl he went to Dubai with accompanied him during his days of hard work. But she left him without notice when he finally became successful. It was all very ironic.

Joseph's role came to a conclusion when the girl who accompanied him when he had nothing was actually the one he needed to cherish most in the world. He looked for her everywhere and after two years, he found her working in a restaurant somewhere abroad. The movie had a happy ending.

The early parts of the movie were very amusing while the latter part was quite emotional and moral. Joseph did a great job in playing the role. He interpreted the main character vividly. The audience was enchanted by his fine acting.

The movie was indeed a success. Lola overheard some comments from the audience when she was slowly leaving the hall with Thomas. Their compliments to her brother made her heart jump with joy.

It was almost eleven in the evening now. The streets had hushed to sleep and most of the stores had closed. They didn't go straight to the car. Instead, they strolled on the road while the chauffeur followed them not far from behind.

"Mr. Herren." Lola opened her mouth. She drew out all her courage as she knew she had to face this matter urgently.

Thomas turned his face to her and smiled gently. He could tell from her look what she was about to say to him. He had prepared for this.

"Yes?" He had a fun evening. He was willing to accept whatever came in his way. His smile faded as he turned his head away from her.

"I still can't forget about him. But at least you can forget about me! I'm sorry." She spitted it all out as she bravely looked up at his handsome face.

Sure enough!

Thomas's face was expressionless. He paused, stared at Lola for a moment, and opened his mouth: "Even though he is going to get married soon? Lola, you have to move on too."

"Thomas, sometimes, I really wish that Yolanda could disappear from the world. She has taken so much from me." It was because of her that she could not be with the one she really loves.

Thomas held her trembling hand tightly as he gazed at her pale face. "Lola, don't be silly, you still have Nicole! You have to be contented with that because she also needs to see you happy and fulfilled."

Of course, she knew. Her sweet Nicole. If she ever killed Yolanda, she would be brought to justice and then Nicole would no longer have her as her mother. But she can't be that kind of a mother and a person that Nicole would follow…
