Trapped with the CEO Chapter 88

"What are you doing in the early morning?" Lola huddled herself up, reluctant to leave her cozy bed.

"What am I doing? Do you know that in less than half an hour, the filming will begin?"

Joseph's words stirred Lola, who sat up from the bed right away. She was going to be late! "Wait for me!"

Lola got out of bed, naked...What happened last night? Lola rubbed her long hair violently. Why was she naked in bed?

She took a few steps and felt well, except that her head was aching and her mouth was a bit dry.

Fifteen minutes later, Lola opened her room door. "Lola, you're not wearing makeup!" Joseph was surprised as if he discovered the new world. Lola feared that Joseph would see the mess in her room, so she pulled him to the elevator.

Lola asked the waitress in the hallway to clean up her room.

"What's wrong about me not wearing makeup? Do I break the law?" Lola answered the question of Joseph after they went into the elevator.

"No, you are so beautiful even without makeup, which is quite rare!" As a man, Joseph was a bit jealous of Lola's fair skin!

"Well, I am born beautiful!" Lola fixed her hair in the mirror.

Hearing Lola's narcissistic reply, Joseph pursed his mouth and said no more.

They arrived at the filming studio in the last two minutes, and the crew had prepared all the equipment and tools for shooting.

When the director saw that they were out of breath, he didn't say anything and started shooting.

In A Country, it took them a week to finish the shooting, all going well.

On the night before Lola left, Thomas appeared again. He said, "Lola, there are a couple of people who are looking for you. When you are back to D City, don't hang out too often, and hide your important belongings."

"... Do you know why they are looking for me?" Lola gazed at him, who Lola thought had the same purpose as the other people who approached her! What was so special about her that the President would condescend to get close to her?

Thomas listened to her question, looking out of the window into the night, silent for a long time. "Take a rest, and bon voyage tomorrow."

He turned around and left the hotel. The next day when she was about to leave, Lola found herself surrounded by a bunch of people. They were meant to protect her, or to say, to monitor her.

When Lola was off the plane, there were no fans and paparazzi, because she booked the ticket herself without anyone knowing.

Sitting on a taxi, Lola received the phone call from Mona. "Lola, where are you?"

"I just got off the plane to D City. What's the matter?" Lola pushed up her glasses.

"Tonight, the wrap party is going to be held on the cruise ship by the west coast, seven o'clock, be there on time! By the way, you need to bring a dancing partner!" Mona reminded her.

A dancing partner... "Okay, I got it."

Hanging up the phone, Lola was thinking who she should invite, when her phone rang again. This time it was Joseph.

"Lola, I'm going to be your dancing partner tonight. You are welcome!" Joseph shook his legs conceitedly.

... Lola said, "Hey kid, you have impressed me!" Fortunately, Joseph saved her the trouble.

"Kid? I am nineteen."

"You are only nineteen, why are you not in school? You silly." It couldn't be that his family was too poor to afford the tuition!

"No, I am not very busy this semester. I have taught myself and asked for leave. After I finish this movie, it's almost time to go back!"

It turned out that Joseph was an excellent student! "All right! Got it! See you tonight!" She remembered something very important, that she didn't know where her home was!

After finishing the phone call, Lola contacted Zoe and asked the taxi driver to change the route.

The red hair Zoe was waiting at the front gate of the new neighborhood when Lola arrived.

Lola trotted to him, pulling her suitcase. "Have you waited for a long time?"

"No, let's go. I'll take you in." Zoe parked his motorcycle and accompanied Lola to the apartment.

There were all newly-built high-rise buildings in the neighborhood. Zoe rented the third floor for Lola. Lola pushed open the door of her new home and was content seeing this warm little nest. Because it was a new house, everything was clean as a whistle.

"You may need some furniture and appliances. If you don't have time, just tell me. I will buy them for you." Zoe handed the key to Lola.

"Well, well, I'll pay you back later. How much have you paid?" Lola opened the floor-to-ceiling window of the living room that had a very broad view.

"It's free. Enjoy it!" With a flickering light in the eyes, Zoe didn't dare to meet Lola's gaze.

"Huh? Whose house is this?" Lola looked at him curiously.

"I... A friend of mine, he... is abroad. For now, nobody lives in here!" Zoe was acting in an odd way but Lola didn't notice that.

"All right! Then when I am free, let's go shopping together." As compensation, she thought of putting in some extra furniture.

"Uh huh. All right. I have to go back to work, I am absent without leave. Your stuff are in the bedroom. You tidy up yourself!"

Zoe ran to the door while speaking. Lola waved him goodbye and began to clean up.

At 6 pm, Lola sent Joseph her location and then put on a simple make-up. She took out the winter evening dress that she prepared before. The neck of the rice white dress was embroidered with a bowknot, which looked mature and elegant.

And after she put on a long down jacket, she got a call from Joseph.

They were all public figures and it was inconvenient to go in and out of crowded places like hotel. So the ball party was held on a luxurious cruise ship.

In the dark, the cruise ship was bedecked rather brightly. The director stood at the entrance to check everyone that was going aboard.

When Lola and Joseph arrived at the ball party, there were quite a few people. Because they were all colleagues, so they had small talks in groups instead of exchanging too many greetings.

At this time, a commotion occurred in the doorway. A female colleague screamed. "Yolanda and Harry!" Then everyone gathered around.

Joseph went to greet other colleagues. Lola, who was holding the red wine, stayed alone beside the wine table, avoiding the crowd.

Yolanda, in her black winter dress, jauntily holding Harry's arm, smiled to everyone's envy and blessings.

There was only one who stayed far away and turned her back on them. It got to be Lola!

After eating a few snacks, Joseph was nowhere to be seen.
