Trapped with the CEO

Chapter 98 Welcome, Boss Si

Chapter 98 Welcome, Boss Si

"What's the matter with Lola Li today?" Theron was not in the mood, thinking about what was going on.

"What's the matter? I guess the CEO and the general manager should know each other, " said Susan Du, the human resources manager. It was a woman's sixth sense.

"You don't know about it! Lola Li used to be a big star in D City. At that time, Lola Li, Harry Si and Yolanda Mo were often on the entertainment news. Then Lola Li quit the entertainment circle and disappeared completely." Jenna Zhong, the public relations manager, said mysteriously. She had recognized Lola Li long ago, but never told anyone.

"Really? I have never thought that Manager Li was a star before! But, with such a good-looking face, she is totally qualified to be a star!" said Jack Chang, the deputy general manager, a man in his forties who had always been impressed by Lola's appearance.

The executives talked about Harry and Lola for a long time. The final conclusion was: "The CEO was too frightful to be provoked, and Lola Li, who had a relationship with him, cannot be provoked either."

The next morning.

Lola got up very early. She took a look at her sleeping daughter before she started washing and makeup.

It was the first day that Harry assumed office. All the staff should arrive half an hour early to do the preparatory work. Lola must get there earlier than they do and have things ready.

She told Joseph to send Nicole to school, then left home in a hurry.

She speeded up her car to the company and parked it at an empty parking space. Walking in the 2-inch high heels, the tall and professional Lola exchanged greetings with her subordinates.

"Miss Li, good morning!"

"Good morning!"

"Good morning, Miss Li!"

"Morning!" Lola walked into the general manager's office.

She called in her assistant Leo Zhu and told him the schedule. "The new CEO will come soon. The company must be clean and tidy. The staff must greet the CEO simultaneously. And move a few green plants to the CEO's office! Last, inform all department managers to assemble in the lobby at 7:50 on time, with uniforms and work cards!"

With this, Lola asked Leo to get ready.

At 7:40, Lola personally took the lead to check the company, including all the unaccessible areas.

Lola nodded with satisfaction, and told Jack Chang to deal with the rest. She just waited for the meeting after welcoming the new CEO.

At 7:55, all the managers and the ushers were standing in two columns in front of the company, waiting for the new CEO.

At 7:58, Theron and Lola stood right in the middle of the company

The familiar Maybach stopped in front of the company on time. Joey stepped out of the driver's seat and opened the rear door.

Dressed in a business suit and a pair of black Italian handmade shoes, Harry got out of the car.

For those who had never seen him, his forbidding countenance took their breath away. He cast a cold glance at the people at the doorway and walked towards them with a briefcase.

"Welcome, Boss Si!" Lola, dressed in the general manager's uniform, wore an impersonal smile.

She took a step back to give way to Harry. Hardly had the voice of Lola and Theron faded away, the department managers and the ushers exclaimed with one accord, "Welcome, Boss Si!" And they bowed low to express welcome.

Harry had become accustomed to this kind of occasion. "The executives shall meet in the conference room in five minutes." The cold voice echoed in the quiet lobby. Lola followed him and answered, "Yes, boss."

It was not appropriate for the deputy CEO to arrange the meeting personally, so she took it upon herself.

"The general manager shall report to me. I want detailed data." Lola pressed the elevator button, walked into the elevator after Harry, and pressed the button for the 36th floor, where the CEO's office was located.

The elevator door closed. There were only Harry, Joey, Lola and Theron.

"Yes, boss!" Jesus, I have a lot of work, Lola thought. In the narrow elevator space, she seemed to have felt the familiar masculine smell of Harry.

In just a few seconds, the elevator reached the 36th floor.

The CEO's office was clean and everything was new. There were a few green plants beside the French window, which were especially conspicuous.

Harry glanced around the office and said, "Move out the green plants. Change the color of the curtain and the sofa. Now let's go to the meeting!"

"Boss, if you smoke at ordinary times, the green plants are essential!" Lola calmly looked at Harry. How could the office of this smoking addict do without green plants?

Theron took a deep breath and thought that Lola was really audacious to defy the CEO's order. He would hide his ego anyway.

Joey tried to hold back his laughter, watching his boss being cornered. He bet ten dollars that his boss would not refuse!

Sure enough!

Harry cast a cold glance at the woman behind him. The woman, however, looked him straight in the eyes with calmness, without any emotion in her eyes. "Take me to the conference room." Was that acquiescence?

Lola hurriedly turned around, walked into the elevator and pressed the button for the 22nd floor, where large conference rooms of the company were set up.

When the four people entered the conference room, all executives were already present.

"Mr. CEO!"

Lola quickly walked to her seat, which was on the left side of the CEO's seat...

Jack Chang pushed several folders to Lola, as if they were hot potatoes.

"Begin!" Harry threw a glance at the woman sitting by his side.

Lola stood up, walked to the stage, and turned on the projector. A series of data appeared on the white wall.

"This is the company earnings in the past six months, five percentage points greater than the corresponding period of last year..." Lola's introduction echoed in the quiet conference room until the meeting ended three hours later.

The executives walked out of the conference room, wiping their sweat and whispering that they were going to have a harsh time working with the new CEO.

Poker face; domineering and bossy; Asura from hell; cold and aloof; vigorous and resolute... These were all remarks about him.

Lola turned off the projector and was ready to leave the conference room.

"Miss Li, come to my office. The financial data is problematic." Harry gave an order and left the conference room directly. The two managers who had not left yet cast a sympathetic glance at Lola.

Lola rolled her eyes behind the man and dragged her feet to the CEO's office.

Joey had already found his place in the secretary division and was pulling stuff out of his briefcase. Seeing Lola, he said, "Miss Li, Boss Si is waiting for you in the office."

Chapter 107 Promotion and Pay Raise</h3><p>Lola was so embarrassed that she pinched Harry's waist sharply. But it was too late to do so. </p><p>Harold and Angie had got out of the car and Angie walked up to the kissing couple with a serious face. </p><p>She had recognized that figure. It could be no one else but her daughter. </p><p>Harry didn't release Lola until he felt someone had approached them. </p><p>Lola felt so awkward and felt like digging a hole to hide in when she recognized Angie. Being caught on the spot, she could not keep her head up, but greeted Angie in a weak voice, "Mother."</p><p>Lola blushed with shame. Angie didn't look at Lola, but stared at Harry angrily. "Good evening, madam." Harry greeted Angie in a polite manner and nodded to Harold who was standing not far away from him. </p><p>"Who are you?" Angie asked. She still stared at Harry grimly. Had been living in the army for such a long time, she was accustomed to act this way. People would show their weakness when facing her. But when it came to Harry, things would be different. </p><p>Harry didn't expect that he would be dragged into his car when he was about to introduce himself. He had no idea when Lola had opened the door of his car, nor did he thought that Lola should have such great strength to shove him into his car. </p><p>Lola locked the door of the car and walked hand in hand with Angie towards home and explained, "Mother, that man is just my boss. Don't get me wrong. Let's go home."</p><p>Harry already had a dirty look when he was dragged into the car. He became livid when heard Lola's words and thought, "I'm only your boss? Don't get you wrong? Fine, Lola! I will change your malicious mind."</p><p>Lola got in Harold's car with her mother. "Lola, is that your new boyfriend?" Angie asked. Her face was not that cold now. She understood that it was natural for her daughter to get a new boyfriend, but this time, she would like to play her role as a mother to avoid a failed marriage. </p><p>"Mother, no, he is my boss..." Lola replied diffidently. She was not sure whether she should tell her parents that Harry was the birth father of Nicole. "How could a boss take advantage of his subordinate right in front of his subordinate's house? Lola, don't be tricked by him." Angie warned. She was a bit miffed when she heard Lola's answer. After all, kissing and hand holding were only naturally between couples. If that man had nothing to do with Lola, how could he take advantage of her daughter? </p><p>"Mother, he is..." Lola wanted to explain, but had no idea what to say. She knew her mother's words were out of kindness. </p><p>"Enough. Lola is an adult. She has her own thoughts and ideas. Mind your own business." Harold said so to Angie, which rescued Lola. He knew what kind of person his daughter was and believed that she would always behave herself. </p><p>"I'm </p><p>"Ok. Got it. Thank you." Lola replied. She understood that her parents never wanted her to meet someone like Harry again, but they didn't know the only man that ever had a relationship with her was Harry... </p><p>The three went back to the villa. After checking that Nicole slept well, Lola threw herself onto the bed. She hesitated for a moment, then decided to send Harry a message, "Harry, it would be better if we do not meet each other again in private."</p><p>In seconds, she received a reply, "No way!"</p><p>Lola can imagine the expression of Harry when he was editing the text. He must be furious and was eager to kill her. </p><p>"Are you determined to revenge on me for your fiancee?" Lola asked hopelessly. Harry pulled over his car to read this message. </p><p>"Maybe she is right. But if I just want to get back at her, why do I care for her every day?" Harry thought. </p><p>"So glad that you know this." So he quickly typed a few words and sent them, but got no reply then. </p><p>Holding a pillow in her arms, Lola read the message and cried silently. </p><p>"If he did not have a fiancee, I might simply get back together with him. Even though he misunderstood me as someone malicious, I believed that time would prove everything, didn't it? But he did have a fiancee, with whom I would have lots of fights in the soon future. Whose side would he stand by? Would he be tolerant of my revenge on Yolanda?" Lola thought. </p><p>The air grew darker and darker. Lola dozed off to sleep. </p><p>Friday morning was the time for regular meetings of senior management. On that day, Lola walked in the meeting room on her heels after making sure that her makeup was perfect. </p><p>Wearing a suit, Harry also came in with a cold face two minutes ahead of the meeting time. </p><p>He threw a report on the desk, which puzzled the executives. They had no idea what did that mean but looked at one another dumbly. </p><p>Harry then began to talk, "Theron Xing, the deputy CEO of the company, has embezzled money and engaged in corrupt practices." Theron was dumbfounded and thought, "How does the CEO get to know his secret?"</p><p>"Boss, do you have any evidence?" Theron asked. He tried to keep calm, but his hands under the desk couldn't stop trembling. </p><p>Harry rolled his eyes with a cold face after hearing the question, then he turned to Jack Chang and said, "Jack Chang, the vice general manager, has harassed many female employees, accepted bribes and bought furniture for his villa with embezzled money."</p><p>"I'm innocent, boss." Jack argued. He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with a pale face and struggled desperately. </p><p>"Innocent? Evidence? Check for yourselves. Theron Xing and Jack Chang would be fired after making up for the company loss. General manager Lola Li is promoted to the deputy CEO. HR manager is responsible for the candidates of new general manager and vice general manager. Qualified candidates must pass the interview of the new deputy CEO. That's all for today. Any questions, come for me after the meeting." Harry said. He then left the room directly. </p><p>Tongues wagged. Theron and Jack hurried to check the portfolio on the desk. </p><p>Inside were the joint report from some female employees against Jack and evidence of bribery about Theron, which made the two speechless. </p><p>Firing two executives and promoting Lola to deputy CEO in less than three minutes' meeting. That was Harry's style. </p><p>Following Harry, Joey admired Harry in his heart and finally got to know the reason why Harry was so busy recently. </p><p>Lola was baffled by the sudden promotion and left the meeting room under the envious and jealous gazes of others. </p><p>In that afternoon, Lola moved to the deputy CEO office with the help of Leo. </p><p>Looking at the empty office of deputy CEO, Lola felt very complicated. </p><p>Workplace was like battlefield. It was possible that she would be fired from a high position some day. Jack was one of the examples. Actually, Jack intended to harass her one year ago. But she got away decisively. </p><p>Afterwards, Jack wanted to find fault with her to fire her. But she always behaved herself well and never gave him a chance to do so. She never expected that Harry would get things clear soon after he took office. </p><p>Thinking for a while, Lola decided to go upstairs and talked to Harry. </p><p>To view hidden contents, please check them out on our App.</p><h3>Similar Romance Ebooks to Trapped with the CEO
Chapter 108 Bitch is Bitchy</h3><p>Secretaries were all busy. Seeing Lola approaching, Joey nodded to her politely and then went back to work. </p><p>Lola responded him with a smile. Then she knocked on the door. </p><p>"Come in." The familar sound arose. She opened the door and got in. </p><p>"Boss." Lola greeted Harry, who was bending over his work, out of courtesy. </p><p>"What's wrong?" Harry lifted his head to get a glimpse of Lola. Then he bent over his work again. He didn't think she was there to thank him. Sure enough... </p><p>"Boss. I have an idea." Lola thought what she was gonna say was necessary. </p><p>"Go ahead."</p><p>"We can recruit a new person as General Manager. As for Vice General Manager, we can promote one of our department managers to this position." By this way, she wouldn't be the only one get promoted, and others in the company can distract their attention from her. What's more, someone who was really competent could get a chance. </p><p>"Any candidate?" Harry asked while signing the document. </p><p>"Yes. Jeremy Duan, the manager of Design Department. Although he is just two years older than me, he has been working in company for eight years. He is quite familiar with company's business. Besides, he is really good at management." Jeremy was a humble man. He once helped Lola a lot when she was in difficulty. </p><p>Lola had been wanting to return his favors. Moreover, Jeremy was indeed qualified to be the Vice General Manager. </p><p>"Ok. I will ask the HR Department to issue your promotions by tomorrow." Lola was astonished by Harry's decisiveness. It seemed Harry trusted her very much. She didn't know was she supposed to be happy with that. </p><p>"Thank you, Boss. Thanks for your time!" Lola turned around, planning to leave. "Wait, Miss Li." Harry put his pen down and stood up. </p><p>Seeing Harry standing up, Lola had a bad feeling. She wanted to flee away. </p><p>She moved steps to the doorway. But Harry strode forward, passed her and closed the door. </p><p>... </p><p>At that moment, Lola thought herself was a stupid rabbit that came to a wolf willingly. </p><p>"Boss Si, is there anything I can do for you?" She told herself to be calm. If he dared to offend her again, she would surely give him a crisp slap. </p><p>"Yes, of course. I promoted you. Do you have some rewards for me? Miss Li?" Harry gave Lola a hint while gazing at her. </p><p>Hearing his words, Lola smiled faintly, "Rewards? How about sending your nude photo to your fiancee?" Actually, she had already deleted that photo. </p><p>Thinking of that photo, Harry became embarrassed, "Could it be that our deputy CEO has been getting over lonely nights by watching my photo in the past years?"</p><p>Shit! "I am so sorry. That photo had already been deleted. What's more..." Lola spillt the beans. "Lola Li, how clumsy you are!" She blamed herself. </p><p>Looking at Harry's gloating face, Lola got angrier. She rolled eyes at him and turned to the doorway again. </p><p>But a trick occured to her </p><p>She stopped and turned around, "Boss, you really want a reward?" Lola asked in a tender and lovely voice which was totally different from before. </p><p>She hooked around Harry's neck and kissed him on the lips while taking a selfie. </p><p>"Lola Li! How dare you do that!" Harry growled while glowering at Lola who seemed to be quite satisfied with the photo she just took. Lola turned a deaf ear to Harry's growl. She put her mobile phone back into the pocket while stepping to the doorway. </p><p>But Harry wasn't planning to let go of her. He scooted to Lola and yanked her. </p><p>"Why? It's just a photo. Boss Si, don't waste your handsome face." Lola smiled while straightening tie for Harry. </p><p>But Harry saw through her trickery. He glared at Lola with a cold look, "It seems you don't keep my words in mind!" Harry was trying to avoid conflicts between Yolanda and Lola. </p><p>Lola certainly had been remembering his words. She threw him a glare with sulk. Then she shook Harry's hand off and ran away the office. </p><p>Looking at Lola running away again, Harry felt a little hopeless. He didn't know how to get along with Lola any more. </p><p>Lola fished her mobile phone out to watch the photo again after she came back to her office. Nice! Both of them were kissing passionately. </p><p>Then she opened Weibo and sent that photo to Yolanda's official account. In the evening, the system showed that photo was read. </p><p>Soon, Lola received a reply reading: "Bitch."</p><p>Looking at the message, Lola didn't get anger. On the contrary, she gloated, cause that word indicated Yolanda was in a rage. Ha...ha... </p><p>Yolanda clenched her mobile phone. Although the photo was sent by someone anonymous, she knew it must be Lola Li, that bitch! </p><p>"Harry promised me he won't be with that bitch. It seems that bitch is seducing my Harry again!" Yolanda thought. </p><p>Then Yolanda sent that photo to Harry with the text asking:</p><p>"Harry, how do you explain this photo? You promised me you won't be with her again!"</p><p>Harry was smoking at that time. He wasn't astonished to receive that photo from Yolanda. He knew it's Lola's little trick. </p><p>He downloaded the photo and then turned off the screen. He didn't plan to reply. </p><p>After a long time wait, Yolanda realized Harry wasn't gonna reply to her. Then she made a phone call after a deep consideration. </p><p>"Hey, our International Queen, what makes you call me?" The voice on the other end of the phone was so diaistic that Yolanda was gooseflesh. </p><p>"Julie, you have come back to A Country from Wall Street, right?" Yolanda told herself to ignore Julie's disgusting voice. She would rather to have Julie Tan, this disgusting woman, as rival than Lola Li, that bitch. </p><p>"Yes, I have been back for around half a month. But I am going back to Wall Street soon!" Julie Tan answered while fixing her wavy red hair. She had no idea what Yolanda was planning. </p><p>"Harry's company is recruiting a new general manager and it offers a higher salary than Wall Street does. You can try it." Yolanda got the information from her spy in SL Group in A Country. Lola Li, that bitch, came to work in Harry's company again and was promoted to the deputy CEO. </p><p>Hearing Yolanda's words, Julie displayed a surprised expression, "SL Group is looking for a General Manager?" That was a good opportunity. </p><p>"Yes. Since you have been a Vice President in Wall Street before, I think you are totally qualified to be a general manager!" Yolanda replied. She regretted not majoring in something like economic administration. Otherwise, she already kicked those bitches away from Harry by herself. </p><p>Julie was no stupid. She knew Yolanda would never let any woman approach his fiance, let alone her, a woman who was good at flirting with men. She must pay for it! </p><p>"Waht do you want from me?" Julie asked. She was planning to agree on whatever Yolanda was gonna say. Because Harry Si was such a irresistible lure for her. She would never give up any chance to approach Harry Si. "Yolanda Mo, don't blame me for seducing your fiance by then. Ha...ha..." Julice thought. </p><p>"There is a bitch working in Harry's company. She has been seducing Harry for years and was promoted to the deputy CEO today. I think you know what to do... I would rather have you as my rival than anybody else!" Yolanda said. Julie Tan was notoriously dissolute. Yolanda was sure Harry would never hook up with that kind of woman. </p><p>"So how about tempting Julie Tan to join in Harry's company and letting Julie Tan and Lola Li fight against each other? I would be the real beneficiary by then." Yolanda was gloating. </p><p>Read Romance eBook Trapped with the CEO on Mobo Reader App, download for free. </p><h3>Similar Romance Ebooks to Trapped with the CEO
