Love’s Final Reveal

Lola didn’t express her thoughts as she watched the sun setting through the floor–to–ceiling window,

It was almost evening, and by tomorrow morning, the company might look entirely different.

“Hey, Layla, let’s get going. Melissa has got a feast waiting for us. Time to head home.” Melissa was the housekeeper.

Ethan called out to her as he entered the room, seeing Lola lost in thought.

“Ethan, I want to stay at the office for a while. You go ahead.”

Lola’s face was pale, and it looked like she was in a bad mood. She didn’t even want to go home for dinner.

Ethan couldn’t help but wonder if they had pushed her too hard.

“Layla,” he said gently, “don’t worry about the company so much. What’s done is done. Just take care of yourself, okay?”

Ethan couldn’t quite understand Lola’s sour mood.

Taking over a company just to watch it crumble a week later would definitely leave Lola feeling guilty for the Lewis Group for quite a while.

“I want to stay here and find a way to save the company, Ethan. can’t just watch it run down

Tll be fine. You go ahead. The driver is waiting outside. Nothing will happen to me.”

Ethan felt uneasy. But he suddenly thought of something and reluctantly nodded. “Just don’t overwork yourself. And call me if anything comes up, alright?”

Once Ethan left, there wasn’t anyone left in the company she could talk to.

Lola felt a weight in her heart pressing her hard, leaving her powerless even if she wanted to do something.

“Ms. Lewis, another company just sent a notice. If the project falls through, they’ll demand we pay the penalty tomorrow,” the assistant rushed in and reported.

“What should we do now? The company simply can’t afford this penalty. If we don’t pay, we’ll definitely end up in court, and that would be even worse for our reputation.”

The assistant sighed, “Ms. Lewis, payday’s the day after tomorrow. The employees are probably in the dark about this whole mess. If they find out we can’t cover payroll, they’ll riot.

“If the employees go on strike, the company is going to shut down…”

The assistant’s words dealt a fatal blow to Lola.

She opened her mouth, but no words came out. A wave of helplessness washed over her, leaving her on the verge of tears. The weight This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

weight of the situation suddenly crashed down on her fragile shoulders.

Lola felt deeply guilty when she thought of the employees who couldn’t get their salaries and their disappointed looks.

In the end, her gaze landed on the documents in the trash can.

Maybe cooperating with Dominick could really solve the company’s current problems… Even if he was unreliable, at least Ethan was trustworthy.

Ethan had indeed said that this cooperation would only benefit the company without any drawbacks.

The contract could be legally bulletproofed, leaving no room for manipulation. So….for the sake of the company and the employees, why not take this chance?

Lola bit her lip. She was no longer the lady of the Lewis family but the head of the Lewis Group now.

Meanwhile, Dominick was socializing. This was a major cooperation, or he wouldn’t be here himself.

“Mr. Sinclair, it’s been hard to see you. We’re glad you are here today. It shows how much you value this collaboration. Don’t worry. There won’t be any problems with this project.”

The man sitting next to Dominick was also a business tycoon from Aerionia. He was fawning over him, cautiously trying to win his favor and keep promising he would do better this next.

The manager nearby was stunned. He had no idea how this young man managed to make their boss act so humbly.

“As long as this cooperation goes well, I’ll consider it again next time,” Dominick responded indifferently.

“Mr. Sinclair, how about this? I know a fancy club. When we are done here, let’s go there and have some fun. It’s on me!”

Dominick wasn’t interested in such places. Even if he agreed to the partnership, it was purely on business. In the business world, no one could be his true friend.

Before Dominick could reply, he suddenly got a message on his phone.

He glanced at it and then stood abruptly, leaving the private room without a word.

“Mr. Sinclair? Where are you going? Did I say something wrong? Did I upset you! Please, I’ll fix it. Just tell me!” the businessman pleaded, scrambling after Dominick

But how could he catch up with Dominick? By the time he reached the door, Dominick was long gone.

Meanwhile, Dominick was speeding through the streets. He completed a journey that usually took thirty minutes in just fificen

From a block away, he spotted Lola’s figure waiting outside the company.

Dominick parked his car, composed himself, and walked over with a stern face.

“So, have you decided to collaborate with me?”

Lola’s face was devoid of any expression, and her voice was calm Yes. Let’s go upstairs and discuss the details.”

A sense of amusement flickered in Dominick’s eyes. “Alright, next time, just come straight up. No need to wait out here.

“I’ve already let the front desk know. They won’t give you any trouble. You have special privileges.”

Lola was already wary of Dominick’s special treatment. She shook her head, backing away. ‘No, thanks. Let’s keep things

fair.

Her resistance and distance were no surprise, and Dominick wasn’t worried. He would solve these problems in the end.

“Come on in

Although it was warm all year round, the nights could still be chilly.

Dominick noticed Lola’s thin dress and frowned, shrugging out of his jacket.

“You’re always getting sick. Don’t you need to wear a bit more?”

His jacket carried a faint, cool fragrance that Lola always found familiar. She used to think it was because he was a gentle person, giving a sense of familiarity.

But now, in this situation, the once pleasant scent felt particularly cold.

“I’m good.”

Lola took off Dominick’s jacket, handed it back, and walked past him into the company.

Dominick arched an eyebrow, trailing after her.

“Did you see that? He just brought a girl in. She looks young, not like a business partner. Could she be his girlfriend?”

The two receptionists were surprised to see the usually aloof Dominick with a young girl.

“She could be. But are they fighting? Why are they standing so far apart!”
