Chapter 7 Drive Me To The Hotel Tonight
"Tell me your address," said Jacob, pushing her into the car.
It was the first day that Lola came back from abroad today. Flora Lin sent the address to her mobile phone, but when she took out her mobile phone from her bag, she suddenly found that her mobile phone was powered off!
'What should I do?'
"You can drive me to the nearest hotel."
"Hotel? Do you want me to take you to a hotel?" Jacob leaned over to her and squinted his eyes, with an evil expression on his face.
Lola's heart was beating wildly, but she acted as if nothing was on her mind. She just didn't look at the man's eyes and said, "No! Send me to the gate of the hotel, I'll check in by myself! I don't remember my address, so I have to stay in the hotel for one night. My agent will come to pick me up tomorrow.
Jacob sneered, "Well, so you have time to listen to me tonight. I have something important to discuss with you!"
Regardless of whether Lola agreed or not, he sped up and looked straight ahead.
Although Lola didn't know what he was going to say, she soon recognized the direction he was driving toward. "You want to take me to... There?"
With a sly smile on his face, Jacob said, "It seems that you remember everything clearly."
"Stop the car."
She said loudly.
Instead of stopping the car, Jacob sped up again. Lola's expression changed slightly. "I ask you to stop the car! If you don't stop the car, I'll open the door and jump off! " "Jump off? Try it!"
With sharp eyes, Lola said resolutely, "Fine!"
After this word, she turned around and unfastened her seatbelt. As soon as she opened the door, she was pulled over by the man, "Louisa, are you crazy?"
"Louisa has been dead for a long time! I've told you many times that my name is Lola! Please call me Lola! Mr. Jacob! "
She was never willing to go back to that nightmarish place!
As long as she thought of it, her heart was deadly hurt as if it would be torn to pieces.
Seeing her tearful eyes and resolute expression, Jacob quickly stepped on the brake. Lola got out of the car without hesitation.
"What are you doing now! Lola, do you want to hit the headlines on the first night you come back? If you walk on the street dressing like this, many people will take notice of you!"
"That's enough, Jacob. I don't need you to care if I'm on the headline or not!"
"Don't get me wrong. I never care about you! What I care about is... You have to cooperate with me on one thing!"
Lola stopped and looked back at him, "What? Is that what you want to tell me?"
Jacob nodded and said, "Grandma will be back in a few days."
Hearing his words, Lola's eyes suddenly became bright. She looked at the man in surprise and said, "You mean grandma has recovered, right?"
The only thing she worried about in the past few years was the grandma. Fortunately, she could get news about grandma from time to time, which made her feel at ease. Otherwise, she really felt sorry for grandma.
"She has almost recovered, but... She can't be stimulated. That's what I want to discuss with you. Grandma didn't know you have left in the past two years. She thought you were studying abroad. "
With surprise, Lola frowned slightly, "You said I was sent abroad to study, right?"
She knew it since Jacob didn't deny it.
Grandma's body had been badly hurt before, so she couldn't be stimulated any more. Therefore, although the Gu family all had known about their divorce, they just kept it from her.
"I want to see grandma."
She missed grandma very much.
"You can see her. I won't stop you. But you have to cooperate with me. You can't tell her about our divorce. You should pretend to be my wife in front of grandma and let her rest assured." Jacob looked at her deeply and said, "You don't want grandma to get sick again, do you?"
Lola lowered her eyes, frowned and thought, "But it won't be concealed for a long time."
"Don't worry. Grandma just stays here for a few days and then she will fly to Switzerland. We just need to pretend for a few days."
"I can't!"
She suddenly shook her head violently and opposed his suggestion. "I can't do this!"
"Why? Are you going to irritate grandma?"
Lola's eyes turned red. The only thing she could do was to shake her head. She saw a taxi not far away and immediately hailed it. She got on the taxi quickly before Jacob could react. "Louisa, stop!"
Looking at the direction where the car was leaving, Jacob was so angry that he kicked the tire with his foot. "Shit!"
While in the taxi, Lola was crying like the rain fell, and the endless pain came... She didn't want to be Louisa anymore! But he asked her to pretend to be his wife?
No way!
She couldn't stand it!
No matter what happened, she didn't want to get close to that villa or the wedding room!
Lola held her body tightly, with her nails deeply sunken into the skin of her arms, but she didn't feel any pain.
When Flora Lin found Lola, she saw that Lola was crying so sadly that her makeup was messed up. Without asking anything, she immediately covered the coat on Lola's shoulder and said, "I'll take you home." The so-called home was just an apartment that Flora Lin found for Lola to live in.
It was already two o'clock in the morning. After taking a shower, Lola walked out of the bathroom. She, with long legs, stepped on the carpet, but her feet were covered with thick gauze.
"Don't worry. My feet don't get wet. And that is just a small wound. It doesn't matter, and there is no problem with attending ribbon-cutting ceremony today." Lola said expressionlessly. At this moment, she looked different from the tearful women who had just come out of the taxi.
"I know you are aggressive, but you have to take care of yourself. I canceled an interview this morning and put it off until tomorrow. While for the ribbon cutting ceremony this afternoon, you should still be present as planned."
"Okay."
"And your signing of the contract..."
Lola waved her hand and pinched her forehead. "Flora, since I have given you full authority on the matters about my career after my returning home, that means I trust you. You can make a decision on this matter. Several companies are not bad. You can decide by yourself. After all, you know better than me about the domestic situation."
Flora Lin's eyes widened and said calmly, "Fine."
"But remember to stay away from the Gu group..." Lola couldn't help but remind her. After all, the Gu family was a famous family, and she still didn't want to have anything to do with it. Especially Jacob.
Flora Lin nodded and said, "I'll try my best to get away from it. But are you really not going to take advantage of the power of Jacob to get a high position in the future? After all, he is a good tool. Many people want to get close to him but all fail. Your previous identity is actually very good for hype!
"Stop! Flora, I've told you many times. Don't do anything I don't like! Otherwise, even if you work for him, I won't save your face! I hope you can realize that you are my agent and don't do anything harmful to my image. As for the Gu family, the further we stay away from, the better. "Lola said word by word, clenching her fists.
"Okay, I can't change your mind."
"Yes. I insist on it. "
Whereafter, they discussed the following work arrangements. By accident, Lola picked up her mobile phone and read the news. As expected, she was on the top trending topic! Fortunately, her tangle with Jacob was not exposed.
At this moment, Flora Lin's phone rang. Lola took a look at her, and she immediately opened the door and went out, while Lola turned off the light to sleep.
In the darkness, Lola picked up her phone and dialed a familiar number. But there came a voice, "The subscriber you dialed is busy now..."
She smiled bitterly and put down the phone.☐☐☐☐☐☐
