Trapped with the CEO

"Don't you eat something?" While having fun eating, Lola looked up at Harry who hadn't touched anything in his bow yet.

Harry took a look at the pot and shook his head. "No. You go ahead." He replied softly.

Lola picked a fish tofu out of the pot and put it into his bowl. "Have a try."

Looking at the expectant face, Harry put the tofu into his mouth. He had never eaten that before.

"How does it taste? Like it?" She remembered he took her to eat hot pot several years ago. At that time, he just watched her eat and didn't eat anything himself. She must persuade him to eat something this time!

Harry didn't want to let the excited woman down. So he swallowed the tofu whole and nodded. What the hell did he just eat? He would purchase this shop and reopen it, in case it caused him more trouble!

Again Lola got him a seafood meatball and then glared at a girl at the next table. She had noticed the girl, who turned around to peep at Harry again and again in the past half an hour.

After having the hot pot, Harry, who had a dull ache in the tummy, went shopping with Lola and drove her home.

At the gate of Li's Manor.

Lola managed to get out of the car after she kissed him as he required.

Harry didn't head for Storm Nightclub before watching her enter the manor.

When he arrived, everyone else had been in the private room.

Without a word, Samuel Shao took up three prepared cups of baijiu from the table and handed them to him.

In a good mood, Harry promptly knocked back the baijiu.

Eason Bo looked at Harry up and down. Harry wasn't frowning as usual. Instead, he was wearing an obscure smile. Eason then asked, "Harry, were you with a girl today? It is rare to see you in such a good mood."

Hearing this, everybody turned to Harry, who didn't deny but nodded.

He was indeed very happy to have stayed with that woman!

"Hey, what's going on?" Samuel Shao patted Harry's shoulder and guessed it must have something to do with his ex-wife.

Harry ate some fruits and glanced at Samuel. "Have a guess."

...

Was he Harry? Was he the Harry they knew?

"Harry, my Muse subdued you, didn't she?" Never would Ella Bo forget that day four years ago when a beautiful woman quarreled with the horrible Harry in the CEO office of SL Group in D City.

She was in a cold sweat from fear when her Muse not only smashed up things, but also yelled at Joey for not watching over his boss and letting his boss seduce young girls.

She snorted with laughter when she thought about that.

Everybody, eyebrows raised, looked at the only girl in the private room. Joey, sitting beside Chuck Si, was casual at the moment. It also reminded him of the past. The girl Ella just mentioned should be Lola.

"Do you mean the one who blamed me for not watching over my boss?" Joey stared at the whisky in his glass indifferently.

Ella Bo nodded. She wasn't seducing Harry deliberately that day. She had no choice.

Harry smiled slightly. "She's your Muse?"

Oh, then everyone knew who she was.

Ella Bo nodded happily. How scary Harry was! Her Muse didn't fear him, but even dared to quarrel with him. "Superwoman!" Ella really admired Lola.

Speaking of that, Joey raised his wrist to show off his watch in front of Ella. "Look, a watch from your Muse!"

...

Samuel, Ella, Eason and Chuck all focused on Harry as if he was cuckolded.

His smile stiffened. He didn't bring it up because Joey wasn't wearing the watch lately.

Now since he saw it, he grabbed Joey's arm, removed the watch and threw it into the garbage bin.

"Harry Si, that's the most expensive gift I've ever had!" Joey stared at the luxury watch in the bin with a deep regret and clapped his hand over his chest.

Harry replied indifferently, "Will you care about something only worth tens of thousands?" Joey could have a gathering with them here today. He was not just Harry's assistant.

Watching the dramatic scene, Eason swept his arm over Harry's shoulder. "Hey, you can't be chasing the same girl, can you?"

Harry immediately shot a warning gaze at Joey. Joey put up his hand at once. "I swear, I don't have feelings for your ex-wife. The only feeling I have towards her is admiration." Dared he steal Harry's woman? No, he didn't want to ask for trouble.

Harry took a quick look at him and felt satisfied. "Should we go to buy you a watch later?"

Joey was shocked, "Forget it. I'll claim it from you!" He would think it over which luxury watch he was going to buy.

Samuel took up the whisky bottle and filled their glasses. It was a rare chance of getting together. "Let's get hammered!"

They proposed a toast and drank it bottom up. Samuel noticed the wine left in Ella's glass and said, "Take it easy. Don't get drunk."

Ella nodded. Her face was flushed, but no one saw that in the dim light.

They returned to seats. Eason started to sing love songs when Samuel stood up, "I'm going to the men's room."

After a little while, a small figure also sneaked out of the private room.

Outside the men's room.

A man and a woman, who just came out from the private room, stood at the door. "Samuel, I have something to tell you." Ella lowered her head and stared at the toes.

She seldom got the chance to meet him. Now she had to let him know what she thought.

Samuel stared at the girl in front of him, who he always treated as his little sister. "What's up, Ella?"

Ella nerved herself. "Samuel, I... I like you, for many years." Even she couldn't remember how many years ago she fell in love with him. Five or six years, probably.

Samuel fell silent at her words. Ella Bo was the sister of his buddy. She was a shy girl, as timid as a hare. How to refuse her?

The silence lasted for long when Ella Bo pinched the hem of her blouse. Finally, she said it out! But, she wondered if Samuel would...

Samuel opened his mouth. "Sorry, Ella."

He just said sorry. It disconcerted her.

"I have a girl in my heart." He told the truth directly, although he failed to be with her right now. But he couldn't accept Ella when he liked someone else.

"Samuel, I don't care..." It was long before she could talked again. Her heart was badly hurt.

Samuel looked into the pale Ella. He wasn't hardhearted, but he still replied, "But I care." If he accepted Ella, that would be unfair to any of them.
