Chapter 11 - Family Dinner (1/2)
”No need.” Secretary Han stepped back a bit.
”You sure? You won't get a chance like this again. To hug someone as pretty as me.”
”I am here for the food, not for hugs.”
”Suit yourself.” Lena walked in with her parents not noticing how red Secretary Han was already.
'Ahh… dammit. She looks prettier with casual clothes. I shouldn't have said anything.'
Shen Mao treated Secretary Han as his own son. His father worked alongside him for a long time but sadly died because of early illnesses. Throughout the years, Shen Mao had a strong relationship and trust with the Han family. Henry's mother died while giving birth to him, so he was raised without a mother. Shen Mao promised to look after Henry when his father passed.
They all sat down in the dining area where the food was already placed and ready for them.
”I heard you came to the company today.” Shen Mao started the dinner conversation.
Lena sneaked a glance at Secretary Han to see if he may have told her father about the details of her visit. Seems like he did not. She relaxed a bit. It was not like she was hiding something from her father, she just did not want to make him so anxious and worried about what she was doing.
”I just came to take a glance at the situation. I didn't stay long since you were in a meeting. By the way, how was that anyways.”
”Could have been worse. The shareholders are giving me 1 month to find a proper investor into the company that can replace the loss we will have in the next term.”
”Do not worry Father, I have already thought about the perfect apology for Mr. Li.”
”En… I trust you.”
Lena smiled. She was happy that her dad has sincere trusts on her. 'I won't fail you… we won't.'
”The annual charity event is also in a few days. It is not the best timing, but you would be needing to attend that.” Shen Milli spoke,
”That's right! I have forgotten…”
”In the past, you have never attended it, but I think this is an opportunity for you to learn and get your image fixed.”
”Yes, you are right mother.”
