Love’s Final Reveal

Chapter 137

Scott’s mouth twitched, and his displeasure was evident..

“Really? It sounded to me like your conversation had nothing to do with business. And if it was a partner, you weren’t exactly being friendly. That’s not how you should treat a business contact, is it?”

Lola was momentarily stunned. Scott’s words left her speechless.

“Layla, you’re not telling me the truth, are you? Who was really on the other end of that call?”

Scott seemed determined not to let this go. “Layla, are you seeing someone?

“If you have someone you like, you should tell me. Don’t worry. Just be honest with me.”

Scott’s words seemed generous, but his eyes grew colder by the second.

Lola shook her head vigorously. “I don’t! I’m not seeing anyone, Scott. You have to trust me!”

Although Lola couldn’t lie, when she spoke the truth, she would look straight into the other person in the eye

Scott’s anger, which was about to erupt, subsided slightly.

“If it’s not that you like someone else, then what is it that you can’t tell me?” he asked.

“Who was the person who called you just now? Tell me. The Jensens has many business partners, and if it’s someone I might be able to help you.”

His reason was solid, leaving Lola with no room to argue. If she didn’t speak up now, she’s being unreasonable.

“It was…” Lola found it difficult to say Dominick’s name, hesitating and feeling deeply conflicted.

“Miss, the lemon water you prepared for Mr. Jensen is chilled and ready. Come and try it, Tina chimed in at just the right moment, smiling as she broke the awkward tension.

With Tina here, Scott wouldn’t ask anything more, even if he was

s upset.

“Oh, coming,” Lola responded slowly. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Mr. Jensen, Ms. Lewis has prepared some lemon water for you. She knows you love it, Tina said with a smile. “Come on over Scott’s expression softened slightly. In front of outsiders, he always maintained a composed and elegant demeanor, so he nodded and agreed, “Alright, I’ll be right there,”

As Lola followed behind, she gave Tina a questioning look, wondering why she had shown up just in time.

Tina raised her eyebrows at Lola and mouthed. “We’ll talk later.”

Scott absently stirred his lemon water, searching for an opening to resume his questioning. But with Tina around, it wasn’t

convenient.

“Tina, do you have any other responsibilities besides looking after Layla?” Scott asked slowly, placing his cup on the table. Tina replied calmly, “Of course. I need to keep Ms. Lewis entertained, make sure she’s well–fed, and happy.”

Scott nodded thoughtfully. “It’s getting late. Shouldn’t you be getting lunch ready?”

Tina glanced at her watch. “Ms. Lewis is a late breakfast eater, so she usually has lunch around two. If you’re hungry, Mr. Jensen, I can ask the kitchen to whip something up for you.

“Do you want to eat now? Tina’s response was flawless, but Scott could barely contain his frustration.

Lola checked the time. Twenty minutes had already passed since Dominick had given her an hour. If she didn’t show up soon, he might come looking for her himself.

“Tina, Tim feeling a bit tired. Could you make the bed for me? I’m ready to sleep

Clupter 137

Scott’s eyes flickered slightly. “Layla, I just remembered something very important.

“We made a promise under that big tree. Every year on this day, we would go to the maple tree and make a wish.

“I remember you said that as long as we were together, we’d always go back to that tree to make our wishes. And whenever we were feeling down, that’s where we’d go to talk. Now that we’re older and you’ve got your memories back, don’t you think we should go back and visit it?”

Lola looked slightly puzzled. “Maple tree? I don’t remember any maple tree.”

She couldn’t recall anything like that.

Scott’s face fell. “Layla, it seems like you’ve forgotten our past. I thought you would always remember.

“That was the happiest time of my life. It was just us, our own little world.”

Lola hadn’t forgotten everything from her childhood. She remembered the important things, at least. But she couldn’t remember a word Scott had said.

“Scott, let’s go to the maple tree to make a wish later. I’m not feeling well right now. Besides… I just…”

“Oh, Ms. Lewis, the lady of the Huston family mentioned she’d stop by yesterday. She should be here in half an hour, so you might want to skip the nap and get ready.

“After all, you’re the new president of the Lewis Group. You don’t want to be accused of being rude if you miss an appointment..

“It’s best to dress formally. Ms. Huston is quite distinguished, so you want to make a good impression.”

Lola was a little taken aback by Tina’s advice, but she quickly caught on.

“I understand. I’ll get ready as soon as possible.”

Tina’s explanation was flawless, and Scott couldn’t find any fault in it.

Still, he couldn’t help but ask, “Layla, do you really want to meet this Ms. Huston, or would you rather take a walk with me over to the maple tree?”

Lola paused, sensing there was more to his words.

She seemed to understand what he was truly saying.

Scott

must have noticed, too, but Lola had no choice.

“Scott, I’m so sorry. Can we go to the maple tree another time?”

Scott gave a bitter smile. “I see. If you’ve made your choice, then I have nothing more to say. I’m leaving.”

Lola watched Scott walk away, a whirlwind of emotions swirling inside her.

Tina, thank you so much for today. But…how did you know?”

Lola was curious about how Tina had managed to help her just in time.

Tina seemed to know something, yet at the same time, she didn’t seem to know anything at all.

“I’ve been your housekeeper for quite a long time. Whenever there’s a question you don’t want to answer, you make this face, Here, let me show you.”

Tina exaggeratedly mimicked Lola’s expression, and Lola’s tension eased. “Alright, Tita, enough joking around. Tell me, do you know something?”

Tina’s eyes flickered for a moment before she smiled and said, “Of course not!”
