Chapter 24 - Mike Zhao (1/2)

Diane saw that Lena was very focused so she only brought her some light snacks.

*Bzzzz*

Lena's phone vibrated. It woke her up from her concentration. It was Gary texting her. She decided to call him instead.

”Lena?” Gary answered.

”Hmm? What is the emergency? You are always interrupting me.”

”A red alert.”

”Red what? I don't speak geek language.”

”You promised to take me shopping but it has been a very long time.”

”.....”

”Are you free tomorrow?”

”I can't. I am officially working at SHYNE now so I am not as free anymore.”

”You are working?”

”What? Do you think I can't work?”

”No… then how about lunch?”

”I can tomorrow.”

”En.”

She hung up the call and plop her head down on her desk. She was just thinking about some stuff while relaxing. Before she knew it, she was already sleeping on her desk.

Diane came to check on her to update her about the appointment with Miss. Wu but decided to delay it. Lena was sleeping so soundlessly that she did not want to interrupt her.

Ming Zhao left his office early because tonight they were having a family dinner. His grandparents will be there and his new older brother too.

He had a place of his own that he spent most of his time alone, but his mother has not been in the best condition lately so he had been going home often.

By the time he arrived at the mansion, his grandfather was already cheerfully conversing with his older brother, Mike.

Ming Zhao greeted the elders and his parents. He went to his room to change into something comfortable before heading down. Everyone was already sitting at the dining table waiting for him.

”I am so glad that everyone is here. I hope that you are feeling comfortable in your new home, Mike?” Elder Zhao spoke.
