Chapter 48 - Second Attempt (2/2)

”It's fine.” Lena rubbed her head like she was getting a headache. ”I did not know that asking for a simple apology was so hard for him. You can leave.”

Lena waved her hands at him, signaling him that he could leave.

”Miss. Shen.. I.”

”You have done great. If there is ever a time you get bored of working for him, my doors are open.”

Lena finally looked up and smiled slightly at the man.

”Ah.. then, I'll take my leave.”

Collin left as swiftly as he can. His job was basically done right? He should not try to cause more trouble. She accepted the gift so technically that means she accepted the apology, right?

He called his boss when he got out to tell him that the job was done. Collin had bothered Kris so much about this in the last 24 hours that the nagging worked. Kris said he can have the rest of the day off if the job was completed.

Collin was quick to leave, he can finally have some quality time with his girlfriend!

When Collin left, Lena opened the box again to admire the shiny thing. She knew that even though Kris may have indeed picked the item, he probably didn't even flinch to choose and move on to the next thing he needed to do in his life.

No effort at all. She did really just want to hear the simple words of ”I am sorry”.

Diane knocked on the door again. ”Sorry, Miss. Shen. But you have another guest.”

”Hmm? Another one?”

”He said that he is your friend, Gary?”

”Next time you can let him in even if I am busy. He is an important friend.”
