37 Chapter 37 Seeing Harrys Mother for the First Time (2/2)
After work, Lola remembered that Harry wanted to keep a low profile on their marriage. Therefore, she rode on her motorbike and headed straight back home without notifying him.
When Harry completed his work, he remembered that it was Lola's first day in his company. But at that time, Lola had already been playing with her mobile phone in bed.
Harry seemed really busy. He was seldom home, except for Saturdays and Sundays, and he spent all the other time in his office.
Lola had seldom seen him even though they were in the same company.
Until one day, when Lola was curiously observing Heidi doing experiments with some formula, some colleagues aside talked in whispers, ”Hey, you know what? The CEO's mother was here at the company today.”
”Really? I don't know that! Did you see her?” asked May Zhang with curiosity.
”Yes, I saw the 'queen mother' on the ground floor right when I was going to send some materials to another company.” Star Liu recalled the scene where she saw the CEO's mother in admiration, with her fingers rolling her hair.
Queen mother?
”But I heard that the CEO's mother left with an unhappy face!” What a bunch of shrewd observers they were. But, come to think of it, wasn't this queen mother her mother-in-law?
...
That night, Lola received a WeChat message from Harry, saying: ”Let's have dinner tonight, together with my mother.”
...
Lola was caught completely off guard by this message, for she never thought that she had to meet her mother-in-law!
After work, Lola got changed and went upstairs to the CEO floor secretly.
Except for Joey, others went off work. Upon seeing Lola, Joey greeted her hurriedly.
”Madam, you are here.”
”Yes! Is your boss still busy?” Glancing at the closed door of the CEO office, she thought it would be better to knock at the door first, for fear that she might walk in on some embarrassing scenes like last time...
Instead of opening the door for her, Joey simply said: ”Madame, the boss said that you may enter the office directly when you arrive here.”
Lola then pushed the door open and found that Harry was still busy with his work, as was expected.
Seeing her come in, he did not say anything, but also did not make Lola wait too long. Completing the work promptly, he turned off the computer and went to the garage with her.
”Well, shall we go and buy a gift? This was her first time to see his mother after all. A gift was necessary.
”All right!”
Harry drove to a mall nearby, where Lola selected a pair of gold earrings inlaid with jade as a gift to her future mother-in-law. With this elegant and classy gift, Lola went to the garage arm in arm with Harry happily.
”Your...mother must be very beautiful!” In the car, Lola looked at the extremely handsome Harry carefully and felt that she must be right!
”She is also your mother. When you see her...try not to think too much.” After a pause, Harry held her left hand with his right hand at once.
Lola felt a little bit puzzled. Try not to think too much? She was her mother-in-law...
