Chapter 21 - You have a visitor (1/2)
The last few days had been very relaxing for Lena and her family. The Li did reestablish their business with the Shen Industry and again, their stock rose.
Her father was really proud of her and fully allowed her to take over one of the Jewelry Branches, SHYNE. Shen Mao said that it was a good position for her to build and help her mother manage the companies.
Lena will be in the office tomorrow so today was the only day she can be lazy. It was a hot and beautiful day. Lena was wearing a coral blue two-piece swimsuit out by the pool deck. She was drinking some cool margarita and secretly watching romance dramas on her tablet.
She was recently intrigued by this world's version of entertainment. She had watched every single romance drama in her world, but here, she had a whole new closet to explore! Lena was reminiscing about her life.
”Young Miss, you have a visitor.”
”Hmm?” Lena looked up from her tablet. She was so into the drama that she did not hear Aunt Mary approaching her. She took off her earphones.
'Visitor? Lena never gets a visitor anymore. She broke off her fake friendships since the breakup with Andy. She did not need those fake people around her. She was fake enough...
”Who is it? Are you sure it is not for my parents?” She took a sip from her drink, her eyes glued back the tablet.
”He specifically said your name.”
”He?”
Lena put down her tablet, grabbed her coverup and put it on. 'Gary didn't notify me before he came over. Was it an emergency?'
”Young Miss, I think you should get change before visiting your guest.”
”No need. He is my friend.” Lena smiled and walked to the living area.
Lena was hummingly walking and skipping. But she stopped dead when she stared at a man that was definitely not Gary.
”What honor do I have for the great Mr. Li to visit me?” Lena stopped smiling.
Kris looked up to Lena. He stared at her a bit, scrutinizing what she was wearing.
”Is this how you greet your distinguish guest?”
”Oh please, whether I am butt naked or in 15 layers of clothes, it wouldn't trigger you a bit, isn't that right?”
”Young Miss!” Aunt Mary scolded her.
”It's fine, isn't it?” Lena smiled at Kris and he didn't respond. Lena dismissed the workers so they can peacefully chat as she sat down across from Kris.
”What brings you here on this fine day?” She asked.
”You really have no fear, Lena Shen. Do you think that you can bribe my mother and our problems will disappear?”
”Ah… so it is about your mother.”
”Don't say it as you know her.”
”Kris… or Mr. Li. What should I call you? Mr. Li makes me feel like I am talking to my dad so I'll just call you Kris.”
Kris knew that this woman irritated him so much and he prepared to be calm… but she dared speak so openly.
”You started this you know? I only kissed you. You should be happy you got kissed by me. Honestly, it was a good kiss too! And I only kissed you because you were the most handsome man there. That's a compliment!”
