Semua Bab BURN FOR LOLA: Bab 71 - Bab 80

Infinity Jewels HeadquartersCEO’s Office...Noah stood at his favorite position in his large office, by the floor-to-ceiling glass wall that offered a magnificent view of Rosewoods. It was his second day away from home and also the most important day to stay away from it. After today, everything would go back to normal.He had indulged himself in more work and dropped a message off for Lola that he would not be coming home until Monday. The sky was blue and clear and the rain had long ceased. It was his birthday yet he had received no well wishes, messages, or calls from anyone which was fine by him as it was proof that no one remembered. It was in fact, perfect. That way no one would bother him. Lola had called him earlier in the day, telling him that she would be hanging out with her friends later in the evening. While Xena had called right after, with an invitation to attend their high school reunion together in three days, an offer which Noah had instantly declined. Two knock

The day after Noah’s birthday party was a Sunday and the mansion was a bit bubbly as all members of the Sanchez family were home. After joining the whole family for breakfast in the morning, Xena proceeded to drag Lola into her living quarters by hand. She had preordered outfits from Secret’s latest clothing collection and they had been delivered to the estate that morning.Noah, who had been abandoned at the table with his parents and grandfather by his wife and little sister looked at the two women who were happily walking away from the table and strangely felt that Xena was starting to spend way more time with Lola than he did with her. The two women had only just stepped into Xena’s familiar quarters when Xena hurriedly shut the door behind her and turned back to face Lola with twinkling eyes. Lola, who was starting to get familiar with Xena Sanchez’s cunning antics quickly let her guard up as she looked back at the door wondering if it was too late to back out. “Why that look?.

The long dining table had three vacant seats. Noah, Lola, and even the patriarch of the Sanchez family were missing from the table and the other three members had been waiting for them to arrive so they could start eating. Ava Sanchez, who had abandoned an important scheming phone call to show up for dinner was starting to get upset as she signaled for Mrs. Dorothy who had just walked into the dining room to come towards her.“Old master Sanchez had instructed that dinner can proceed without him and the young master, he would join in much later instead.” Mrs.Dorothy announced as she bowed slightly.“What about Noah?” Ava asked directly about her son, not bothering to also ask about Lola’s whereabouts.“The young master had just arrived but he’s with Old Master Sanchez in his study.” “I see... Thanks, Mrs.Dorothy.” Ava said as she dismissed the housekeeper while wondering what was so urgent for the old man to put dinner on hold. * * *Noah drove up to the entrance of the mansion onl

The weather was perfect and the ride home remained silent as Lola stared out from the luxurious car’s window. The scenery outside the vehicle was bustling and multiple cars drove past them as they moved. It was John who had been sent by Noah to pick her up from her mother’s apartment. Currently, the proficient bodyguard was seated beside the chauffeur in the front passenger’s seat. Lola had let down her silky red hair and had worn her green camouflage pants and black crop top which she had kept in her wardrobe back at Maria’s place since she had not left the Sanchez family home with an extra outfit the day before. The men in front could not help but sneak glances at her through the side mirrors. Their madam looked different today... she was like a wild beauty.Lola had her AirPods plugged on, but her thoughts kept drifting back to what had happened in her mother’s home that morning. She was still surprised that her mom who seemed to stay aloof from the world or at least, from the e

Aria stared at the phone in her hand for a while longer after the call with Lola had ended before letting it drop. Bang!.The mobile phone which was intact and functioning well enough less than two seconds ago now lay shattered on the floor with its screen cracked in too many places.Aria’s expression was calm as she stared at the broken object which she had destroyed herself. It was a new phone and was less than a month old but now it was no longer useable. “A pity...” She mumbled as she got up from the bed to pick up the phone from the floor. She took out the sim from the phone before disposing it directly into the trash can. Next, she walked up to the dressing table where two newly bought tickets lay. They were the tickets she had gotten earlier in the day excitedly to go to watch the Get Lit dancers perform with Lola.Aria smiled sadly as she picked them up and ran her fingers over the letterings before tearing up the tickets into pieces and disposing them directly into the trash
