Chapter 47 - Best Dad in the World (2/2)
Lena could hear her father sigh heavily on the phone. ”If you don't your new bodyguards, I can change them. You don't need to bother yourself to go and re-hire James.”
”YOUR bodyguards are fine.”
”Lili…”
”Dad… you know how picky I am. You specifically chose James before because you saw that he could work well with me. He didn't make a mistake, he obeyed a command. I was the one who made the mistake to send him away from me.”
”You are blaming yourself so I feel bad, huh?”
”Is it working?” Lena smiled at her dad's joke. ”I appreciate all the care and love you had given me. You had finally started letting me be more independent, and I want you to trust me on this too.”
”You are my daughter after all… I will always believe you.”
”You are the best dad in the world.”
”Lili..?”
”Hmmm, Dad.”
”Andy's engagement is coming up soon. You don't have to attend it if you do not want to.”
Lena's heart softened. She really had the best dad in the world! ”I will go. Andy had always been there for me. I should be there for him too. Some things are just not meant to be.”
”If anyone bullies you, you tell your daddy.”
”Mhmm!”
Lena hung up the phone. It is true, Lena and Andy were not meant to be. She has to believe that, or else… she won't know what horrible things she could do.
Diane knocked on the door. ”Miss. Shen? You have an unscheduled visitor. He said that he is Secretary Collin.”
Lena smiled. She had forgotten that Kris Li was still supposed to be apologizing to her. She had been racking her brains on how to get along with him, but has she not already been doing that lately?
”Send him in.”
