Chapter 7 - The Three Kings (2/2)

”I want all the information you have on the three kings.” She clarified.

Once again, Lena has asked him to do the impossible.

”That is… if you are skills are top notch as you said.” Lena taunted him.

”Heh… of course. But are you not afraid of them? The Lis already banned doing business with your father.”

”Afraid?” Lena stared at Gary seriously. ”Not one bit. If I have wronged someone, they should wrong me… not my family.”

Gary had never seen Lena so strong-willed and not faltering at all. He likes this side of her a lot.

”Now, can you do it or not? I can always ask someone else who is top notch.”

”Hey, you can't find anyone better than me. I will absolutely do it with perfect scores.”

”You have 24 hours then.”

”??!!!!” 24 hours to dig up the deep and dark into the THREE KINGS! It seems like he won't be getting much sleep tonight also.

Lena finished the scones and her cappuccino arrived. She took a sip and smiled. 'Ahhh… sweet caffeine. Home sweet home.'

Gary was awestruck to see her smile so beautiful and relaxed.

”Are you free today?” She asked.

”Hmm?” Gary snapped out from his daze.

”Are you free today?”

'FREE??!! She just assigned him an impossible task and he has only 24 hours to complete it. Of course, he is not free.'

”I want to go shopping today. Seems like you need a… makeover too.” Lena stared at what Gary was wearing one more time.

'Shopping with Lena? Does that mean she is going to pick out some clothes for him?! Screw the job and 24 hours… he can do it in 1 hour with his eye closed.'

”En. I am free.”

”Great!” Lena tossed her keys to him. ”You are driving.”
