Trapped with the CEO Chapter 70

The decoration of Thomas's villa was quite simple. Walls were stuck with pattern wallpaper in light black and white. Most furniture was in black, gray and white.

In the spacious drawing room, there was a clothes stand hanging with a dozen of expensive formal dresses. Beside the clothes stand were several men dressing up in unique style. They were waiting for Thomas's command. On seeing Lola coming in, Thomas who was sitting on the sofa leisurely with a Pad in the hands stood up to welcome her at once.

"Lola, come here and pick dresses." Thomas led her to the clothes stand.

By the touch of it, Lola could tell that those dresses were quality. The dresses she wore for parties before were fancy enough, but those in front of her at that time were even more exquisite.

Lola compared those beautiful dresses in different colors carefully and picked two at last, one in pure white, the other one in hot red.

"Go to the room to the right upstairs and make up. I will await you here." Then Thomas turned to servants and asked them to lead Lola upstairs.

Lola nodded and followed servants upstairs.

"This room should be Thomas's bedroom." Lola thought. The decoration was in the same style as the drawing room. The closet and sofa are both in white. On the bed was a neatly folded creamy-white blanket.

Since there was no dresser available in Thomas's room, Lola sat at a table nearby.

Then three styling designers came to her soon after she sat down, and started to discuss what color of lipstick and eyeshadow they were gonna use to match Lola's dress.

Two hours later.

Lola in a hot red dress got in Thomas's car heading to the charity gala.

On the first floor of Telles Hotel.

A charity gala held by the government of both D City and A Country was about to begin.

Hotel staff members were busy making the final preparation to make this party perfect, cause all guests invited were either super rich or famous in D City and A Country. Not only business tycoons, super stars but also the President of A Country would attend.

Thus all waiters serving tonight were picked from experienced staff and went through demanding training and times of skill assesment.

Just after 7 p.m., pairs of meticulously dressed men and women arrived at the hotel successively. All waiters were on the ball at once. They were requested to provide guests with best service.

Several minutes later, a man and a woman stept into the hotel and drew all people's attention.

The woman was in a long purple tee dress with delicate make-up on the face. Her hair was rolled up into a bun. All those made her noble and graceful.

And the man arm in arm with her was in a fancy suit and a pair of shining leather shoes. He looked cool and arrogant.

"Yolanda and Harry make a perfect match!"

"Yes, I think so, the prince and the princess. All netizen are talking about them recently. I guess that they are going to get married."

"Wow, I am so envious of Yolanda, dating with the prince charming!"

"God. I get no chance..."

Seeing Harry coming in, a man from the organizing party came up at once to welcome him, "Good evening, Mr. Si and Miss. Mo. Welcome!"

Whatever Harry and Yolanda did, there were always eyes staring at them with interest, envy or something else. They nodded at that man out of courtesy and then be led to the VIP section.

Harry asked Yolanda to sit down for a rest and then went to other guests for social engagement.

Looking at the handsome Harry who was talking with business tycoons and famous stars with ease, Yolanda smiled out of happiness.

"Lola, you see? All people think I am the one matchs harry best. Where are you hiding now?" She thought with a sneer.

Several minutes later, a low but audible voice shifted all guests' attention to the door, "The President of A Country is coming!"

Hearing that, Yolanda who was chating with a rich woman stood up immediately to show her respect to the President.

The hotel door was opened slowly. Then a woman in a red dress, arm in arm with a man in a black suit, showed up.

Actually many guests knew this woman. Her long black hair was plaited into a complicated but good-looking braid, hanging down on her bare fair back.

Her light and delicate make-up plus her bright smile made her attractive. In that long red diamond-decorated dress, she looked more than gorgeous. Everybody could tell that twinkling dress was pricey.

The black crystal high heels really suited her. Arm in arm with a noble man, she elegantly walked into the hotel hall.

"She is so beautiful! Who is she?"

"Is that Lola Li? The princess of the bankrupt Li Group? When did she hook up with the President of A Country?"

"Lola Li? What a beauty she has turned into!"

...

Seeing Lola was with Thomas, Harry clutched the wine glass in his hand.

He was in rage, as Lola held another man's arm and showed up in public!

How dare you! Lola Li!

Thomas led Lola to a small stage. Then he looked down at the guests under the stage. He saw Harry of course, but he chose to ignore Harry's angry stare. "Thank all of you for attending this charity gala...." He made a brief opening speech in a gentle voice.

Looking at the woman who was holding the President's arm with a bright smile on stage, Yolanda clenched her fists out of rage.

"Lola Li, when did you hook up with the President? It seemed I underestimated you before! You have predicted Harry is about to dump you, so you go to seduce the President first?" Yolanda thought. She was full of anger at that moment.

Harry was looking at his mobile phone when Yolanda came to him. She was relieved

Cause Harry was calm and didn't seem to notice Lola.

All guests went back to their seats after Thomas's speech. The auction would start soon.

The first item for acution was a bracelet with kallaites. It belonged to a Queen of the United Kingdom.

The opening bid was RMB 100, 000. It was the mayor of D City finally won it with the bid of RMB 1 million. The mayor sent this bracelet to his wife then.

Seeing that, many guests started to flatter the mayor and praise him for his deep love for his wife.

When the second item was displayed, Lola's eyes flashed with suprise. She was sure that it was exactly the ink wash painting on the wall of Li villa's living room cause it was herself who framed it.

That painting wasn't drawn by any famous painter, but by her deceased grandmother.

"This is a ink wash painting by the deceased Cathrine Rong. The starting price is RMB 50, 000."

Thomas knew Lola wanted that painting cause she had been staring at it since it was displayed on the satge.

"One hundred thousand." It was Harry started the first bid leisurely.

"Two hundred thousand." It was Thomas this time who bid in a deep but elegant voice.

"Five hundred thousand." Harry, who had been watching his mobile phone in the hands, bid without looking up.

"One million." That was a competition between two powerful men. All guests were astonished by their bid and burst into an uproar.

That painting wasn't worth RMB one million at all, but the bid was continuing on.

"Two million." Hearing Harry's bid, Yolanda secretly plucked Harry's sleeve to remind him that the painting wasn't worth that much money.

"Five million." Tommy followed without any hesitation.

"Ten million." Harry kept up with Thomas's bid. Hearing Harry's bid, guests seemed to be more excited and also confused. They all could tell that Harry and Thomas were competing for someting.

Their discussion became more and more heated. "What on earth Mr.Si and President Herren are fighting for?"

Mintues later, a voice arose and shocked almost everyone, "Twenty million." Lola tugged at Thomas's sleeve slightly and whispered, " This painting is not worth so much."
