Chapter 121
“His assistant said that we could have the contract notarized. So, there should be no problem with the contract. I want to hear his explanation,” Lola said firmly.
“Layla, Ethan has already made the decision. Why do you still insist? Jenna seemed a little impatient.
Ethan pondered for a long time before saying, “This is Layla’s first decision. Since you have decided, then I won’t insist. Go ahead. Let’s see if he has any more excuses!”
Jenna frowned, “Ethan, why did you agree to her? How will this work? Layla has no experience. You should know better than
she!”
“Jenna, it seems you really don’t want Layla to see Dominick?” Elan looked at her suspiciously.
Jenna hesitated, changed her attitude, and smiled, “Of course I don’t. There might be some ambush, or this could be Dominick’s another plot. After all, we now fully understand what kind of persoft he is.”
Jenna found a good excuse for herself. “But if you want Layla to give it a try, I’m fine. However, I need to go with Layla, as I have more experience. If we encounter any traps, I can help her
Ethan smiled meaningfully. It’s okay. I have time. I can go with Layla.”
“Ethan you are very busy so that I will go with Layla. You could stay here and take a rest.”
Ethan sneered inwardly, Jenna can’t sit still anymore. She should be terrified that something unexpected will happen to the plan
“You stay in the company. I have personal grievances with Dominick, and if I see him, I plan to punch him.”
Jenna tried to say something but failed to utter any words.
With Ethan so insistent, if Jenna opposed again, her purpose would be too obvious..
“Okay, you’ll go with Layla. Be careful. If you need anything, call me anytime.”
Ethan said with a plastic smile, “No problem.”
On the way to the Leroy Group, Lola had mixed feelings,
She felt that something was wrong with Ethan, but she couldn’t accurately determine what it was.
“Ethan, if you see Dominick, will you really hit him?” Lola asked a trivial question in the end.
Her lovely question took Ethan aback. He smiled and said, “Of course. Dominick played me, and I’m very angry, Shouldn’t I hit him? Do I still have to be friends with him?”
Lola lowered her eyes, unable to describe her feelings.
The car stopped downstairs at the Leroy Group, and Ethan seemed very familiar with this place, leading Lola unimpeded to the top floor.
“Layla, this meeting room is empty, wait here. I have to find Dominick!” Ethan led Lola into the meeting room and said.
Lola was seated like a puppet by Ethan. She nodded but looked worried. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
After Ethan lefi, Lola looked around the meeting room.
The meeting room was truge, and the frontmost position should belong to Dominick.
She thought, ‘Strange, there is actually a pot of gardenia flowers on his seat.”
Lola got up and walked over slowly.
The flower was in full bloom, lush and emitting a faint fragrance.
The decoration of the meeting room was all gray and black, very solemn. So, such a pot of flowers looked somewhat out of place here.
Lola remembered the last time Dominick told her that he also liked gardenia flowers very much.
Lola b
bent down and sniffed it. A familiar feeling overwhelmed her.
“If you like it, I’ll give it to you.”
Suddenly, a male voice sounded above her. Lola was startled, inginctively looked up, and saw Dominick’s deep eyes.
Lola straightened up in surprise. Dominick, who had disappeared for more than half a month, the Dominick whom Ethan had been looking for, suddenly changed roles and was now standing in front of her.
Lola was in blank. The perfect face carried a faint smile, and there was an inexplicable tenderness in his deep eyes.
His expression was like that of seeing an old friend again after a long time.
Lola’s first thought was, ‘How could a person like him do such dropicable things?
“What’s wrong? Have you forgotten me after not seeing me for more than half a month? Dominick smiled and teased.
“You…” Lola calmed down and said calmly. “Mr. Sinclair, where live you been? Can you explain the recording?”
Dominick thought about the solution he had discussed with Ethan yesterday. He didn’t want to talk about what he had been through, nor did he want Jenna’s true face to be revealed so quickly to avoid more problems. If this led to Lola’s past being revealed, it would be difficult for him to explain.
“I just went on a business trip. Did you miss me?” Dominick walked gracefully towards Lola and said in a deep and charming
voice.
Lola was taken aback. With such a good–looking face and seductive words, Lola found it hard not to be attracted to him.
She avoided Dominick’s gaze and spoke somewhat unnaturally. No, I didn’t. Mr. Sinclair, was that recording real?”
Lola waited firmly believing that Dominick would give her the answer she wanted..
for his answer
“Oh, you mean that recording.”
Dominick seemed indifferent. “That was just me talking nonsense. The situation forced me to say such things. I had no choice.”
“No choice?”
The answer was not what Lola wanted. She had thought that Dominick would explain that it was a misunderstanding.
So, his explanation meant that he indeed said those words.
Lola was very disappointed but tried to appear calm.
“Mr. Sinclair, I didn’t expect you to think like this. I thought you and Ethan were best friends, and you wouldn’t do such a
thing.”
Dominick frowned. He didn’t want Lola to misunderstand him, but he couldn’t explain himself.
“Lola, you’re still young. There are many things you don’t understand. But I can assure you that this cooperation is only beneficial for the Lewis Group, and there are no downsides.”
Dominick was sincere, but she only had one thought, ‘Did Dominick really say those hurtful words?”

“Mr. Sinclair, I thought you are a noble man. I didn’t expect… Lala felt so complicated, and she decided to leave. “Let’s stop here. I’m leaving.
