Cosset You Forever

Chapter 58 Laboratory Bench Was in a Mess

Hardly had Yolanda got her plan started when Harry and Lola had a quarrel. Yolanda thought if she continued her tricks, they definitely would break up. A marriage without love should not be maintained, Lola!

Lola went to a breakfast shop by motorcycle to grab a bite, and then rode to work.

When it was time to have a lunch break, Lola had not finished her work. So she decided to have lunch later. All of her workmates in the department had left.

At this moment, a man who she hadn't seen before came in. "Miss Li, the manager needs the formula that Supervisor Heidi wrote this morning. She needs it now."

"Who are you?" Lola looked at the stranger, feeling confused.

"Oh, I am new here. My name is Justin Wen." Lola nodded without a doubt and went to the research lab.

According to company's regulations, without the permission of the department manager, no one shall have access to the research lab alone except the formulators. Before Lola entered the lab, she wanted to ask Justin Wen whether he needed anything else.

But when she turned around, Justin Wen had gone and couldn't be found anywhere. "Well, it should be ok if I take the formula out as soon as possible!" thought Lola.

Lola went in, found the formula Heidi wrote this morning and took it out.

After coming out, she found Justin Wen waiting at the exit and trotted to him. "What are you doing here? Should I hand the formula to the manager or leave it to you?"

"Oh, I just wanna have a smoke here. Leave it to me. Get your things done first!" Justin Wen raised the half-smoked cigarette in his hand, ready to leave with the formula.

"H'm, well, I get going." Without thinking much, Lola went back to her seat. But she felt a little hungry soon. So she simply tidied up the desk and left for lunch.

After she came out of the elevator on the first floor, Justin Wen emerged suddenly from nowhere, and walked side by side with her.

"Miss Li, are you going to have lunch?" Justin Wen asked with a smile.

"Yes. You have delivered the formula to the manager?" Lola saw nothing in his hands and thought he had handed it in.

"Yes. Lunch together?" Justin Wen touched something hidden in his pocket on the sly, with a guilty conscience.

To have lunch with a man she didn't know? She didn't think it was a good idea. "Sorry, I have made an appointment. Excuse me." Justin Wen disappointedly parted Lola at the gate of the company.

Lola smiled and went to lunch by herself. She didn't sense that something was wrong.

After two o'clock in the afternoon.

Heidi opened the door of the lab from inside. With her eyes running down the office, Heidi snapped, "Who entered my lab today?"

After hearing that, Lola, who was printing materials at the moment, lifted her hand, "It's me, the manager asked Justin Wen to fetch the formula you wrote in the morning."

"Justin Wen?" Heidi gave a dubious look at Lola's innocent face, "Who's Justin Wen?"

"He's the new employee, you don't know him?" Lola had a bad feeling…

Heidi asked Lola to go to the manager's office together. The new manager was a woman, named Helen Zhuang, who had been working in the company for many years. She was also confused after learning what happened, "I didn't ask anyone to fetch the formula!"

The two women both looked towards Lola. She suddenly got a nasty shock. At this time, another formulator Mia Wu shouted loudly, "Who had been to the lab and moved my stuff?"

Helen, Heidi and Lola went out of the office in a hurry, and found Mia angrily hurl questions at the others.

"Apart from formulators, who the hell had been to the lab and moved my stuff?" Mia Wu asked loudly again.

"I had been there, but I didn't move anything." Lola replied, which attracted the attention of all the others.

Lola followed Helen and Heidi to see what happened in the lab. She was completely dumbfounded by the sight. All formulas on Mia's laboratory bench were in a mess and became illegible. What's worse, a lot of plant extract were mixed in a bottle.

Heidi lost her formula, and Mia's laboratory bench was in a mess. Lola was taken as the only suspect.

That was really serious. The lost formula could result in great loss of orders, let alone the laboratory bench in a mess, which would cause innumerable losses. Lola still felt perplexed. Helen Zhuang had phoned Joey to report the whole thing.

After a short while, they all were called over by the CEO to the meeting room.

When Lola went into the meeting room, Harry was watching the surveillance video that Joey presented. Lola turned out to be the only one who went into the lab during the lunch break. Worst of all, she glanced around the office watchfully before entering the lab, as if she was afraid of being found out.

When she came out, there was a piece of paper in her hand, and then, she went to the exit at the dead spot.

Another video showed Lola went out of the company with a man. Harry knew that man - a formulator of a peer group.

As the video played, Harry turned ghastlier and ghastlier, while the others dared not utter a word.

When the video was over, Harry stared at Lola, "How do you know Jack Liu?"

Lola was confused, "Who's Jack Liu?"

Harry scrutinized her face, turned the laptop around by a hand, and pointed to the man on the screen.

"Is he Justin Wen, a new employee?" Lola looked at the man in the video who left the company with her together, and still could not figure out what happened.

"Miss Li, you are CEO's wife, how could you help our competitor to do that?" Mia Wu blamed Lola furiously for she had destroyed all her efforts.

"I didn't!" Lola got heated. She was trapped by someone who she didn't know. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"I'll investigate it. Go back to your work. Lola stays here." Harry ordered lightly, with his forehead resting on the right hand.

Once they all left the room, Lola explained anxiously, "I didn't know him, and did nothing to Mia's laboratory bench."

"So, he asked you to fetch an important formula, and you followed what he said even though you didn't know him, right?" What he said hit home.

"He said he was a new employee, and the manager asked him to get the formula. I didn't doubt him…" Lola answered in a low voice. She finally knew she fell into a trap.

How to prove her innocence now? She must find that guy. "I'm going to find Jack Liu. He can prove my innocence."

"Joey had called him. He'll be here soon. I'm waiting for your explanation." Harry looked at Lola with a cold gaze, which seemed to be strange. Lola could hardly stand it.
