BURN FOR LOLA 130 - Lost
“CEO Sanchez?.” “CEO Sanchez...”Noah woke up his wandering mind and coerced his senses to concentrate on where he was at the moment. Not with Lola Coker or the constant reminder of her words, but in the largest boardroom in his company, where he was heading a very important meeting.“Yes? How many pieces do we have ready?.” He asked absentmindedly.The director of the marketing team who had provided an answer to that particular question barely ten seconds ago and the rest of the directors on board all stared at their absentminded CEO with widened eyes. Only Tyler had a slightly different expression on his face as he shook his head sideways instead at Noah’s unusual pathetic state.“The whole ten sir.” The director repeated and tried to push his luck, taking advantage of the CEO’s absent-mindedness to ease his task, he added. “Should we go ahead with mass production CEO Sanchez? Now that we have...”“If the whole ten pieces are ready, why are none of them here on display?.” Noah snapp
BURN FOR LOLA 131 - His Candy
James watched as Lola hung up the call and raised an eyebrow. “Is Everything alright?.” He asked out of concern for her action.Lola gave him a tight smile, “Yeah. Everything is just fine.” She said and tugged a loose strand of hair behind her ear, hurriedly lifting her drink to sip from the glass.Her eyes wandered to the phone which started to ring again and her heart skipped a beat. Two weeks. That was how long it took for Noah Sanchez to reach out to her. Well it doesn’t matter now, she had no intentions of speaking to him as well.James swallowed hard as he watched her drink. He had asked her out to see if he could take the relationship between them up a notch. “Are you in a relationship Lola?.” James suddenly asked out of the blue.Lola slightly choked on her drink as she did not expect to hear such a question from James. James chuckled and patted her on the back gently. “Did I take you by surprise? I’m sorry.” He apologized as she stopped to cough.Lola shook her head sidewa
BURN FOR LOLA 132 - Sweet Revenge
What just happened?Noah stared at Lola with hazy eyes. He burned on the inside with his desire for her, yet the little daredevil had slid off his lap in the heat of the moment, smirking like a fox as she left him hanging and confused to sink back into the passenger’s seat.“What?.” Lola suddenly asked with a frown and a raise of her eyebrow, both arms defensively crossed against her chest. “Oh, you thought a little peck-a-boo would make me change my mind about not wanting to date you?.”Noah: “.....” Peck-a-boo?. Did she just refer to his sincere confession as a childish game? He furrowed his eyebrows as he tried to make sense of the whole situation. Lola tried hard not to laugh at his helpless expression and managed to keep a straight face as she said. “It’s getting late, please take me back home.” ~Three vehicles were lined up behind the car which had halted abruptly by the roadside. The first vehicle was been occupied by some of Noah’s men including John and the chauffeur who w
BURN FOR LOLA 133 - Feelings, Not Love
Tyler laughed at the way Noah responded. He had never seen Noah Sanchez behave so immaturely but he guessed that love seemed to have different impacts on different people.“Think of it this way. You've frustrated Lola for so long because you had the upper hand, but now the tables have turned and it’s all in her favor. From the time you both met till now, every relationship you’ve built together has been bounded by a contract, purely a business. Now that you’ve accepted your love for her...”“My feelings for her.” Noah corrected interrupting his friend.“There we go again,” Tyler muttered, shaking his head helplessly. “Alright. You may be confused right now and may not realize it but I’m 100% sure that you are falling in love with Lola. Noah?. There’s nothing wrong with falling in love. I know there must be a reason behind your denial of love but just a piece of advice from me, be true to your feelings and open to its possibility.”Noah’s face darkened but he did not respond. Instead, h
BURN FOR LOLA 134 - Son-In-Law?
Lola walked out groggily from the bedroom and gave Maria an unwilling look. Her mother had suddenly turned on the music player so early in the morning after breakfast, putting on her favorite hip hop track which the both of them knew by heart on play, and had asked Lola to dance for her.Maria Coker looked at her daughter intently. Lola had changed a lot after she suddenly stopped to work at Fame Hall Entertainment as a dancer. She had found out a little too late as Lola only told her about it after a week had passed. She wondered if it was her fault, for asking Lola to hold back on displaying her talents. Maria heaved a lengthy sigh as she continued to stare at Lola. All she wanted was for Lola to be safe and now, it seemed it was finally okay to let her daughter do whatever she truly wanted.. without having to hide her talent or hold back any longer. “Come here..” Maria urged Lola over, spreading out her arms.Lola raised her eyebrows as she looked at her mother with suspicion. “You

“Uhn?.”“Steal me away?.”Maria smiled at her daughter before she looked back at Noah and said. “It’s alright dear. She’s all yours and it’s time you learn to call me mom too, or just Maria.” Lola’s eyes widened at her mom’s unbelievable words. “Mom!. What am I? An object?.” How could she sell her daughter off to a man she had only met twice? She felt wronged. “I’m not going anywhere with him,” Lola added with a pout of her lips and made to head back inside the house but Noah grabbed her hand, intertwining his fingers with hers.Noah’s palm was surprisingly warm and Lola tried to separate her hand from his but he wouldn’t let go. “Mom!.” Lola protested but Maria ignored her and instead gave Noah a wave of her hands. “She’s all yours.”“Thank you, mom.” She heard Noah say and watched as Maria grinned happily, hurriedly walking back into the house and closing the door behind her, leaving her daughter alone with Noah.“Betrayer..” Lola mumbled.Finally having Lola to himself, the man g
BURN FOR LOLA 136 - Simp For Her
Maria walked back into the house to find the music which she had wanted Lola to dance to earlier in the morning on the play. Its volume was low and it seemed to be coming from Lola’s room.“Is she dancing?.” Maria muttered, her face suddenly curving up into a grin as she lessened the intensity of her footsteps against the ground, sounding as light as possible, as she tiptoed to her daughter’s room.The door was slightly ajar and the music was indeed on inside but contrary to what Maria had expected, Lola wasn’t dancing at all but was on a call with someone, probably Aria cause she heard her mention the word ‘audition.”Maria turned to return to the living room but Lola had turned at that same moment, noticing her.“Mom.” She called out and ended the call. “You are back already? Is Richard gone?.” she asked.“Yes, he is,” Maria responded with a nervous smile. She expected more questions from Lola but the girl only nodded and returned to reading the novel on the bed which made Maria even

Noah’s eyes dimmed as he watched Lola slowly slip her hand which he had covered with his away from his hold and turned to stare fully at something outside the car’s window, still neglecting him.“Sir?. There’s been an accident four blocks ahead.” John announced after listening in on the message conveyed by the bodyguards in the other vehicle.“An accident?.” Lola finally spoke up with worry in her voice. Her eyes still lingered outside.The traffic in the area was extensive, possibly due to the accident and the street was congested. With vehicles and pedestrians and with a portion of the road blocked off by the authorities, the whole street was more rowdy than usual. But Lola was more concerned about three kids outside on the cold street. Two boys and a little girl, The younger boy was holding on to a piece of object that Lola did not recognize from far away, and the two little boys seemed to be having a heated argument concerning it, while the little girl simply watched on from the s
