Chapter 56 - New Partnership (1/2)
”When we met with Kris Li, you said his enemy was your enemy. Is it someone from the Yang Family? Andy?”
”No. Andy is a smart man, he wouldn't do something so careless. And besides, Andy and Ming Zhao have no relationship for Ming Zhao to be helping him.”
”But you do have someone in mind? I can tell from the look of your eyes.”
”I do, but I will let the opportunity arise to confirm my assumption. At the moment, I will play defense.”
Lena plopped herself back and lay down on the sofa. ”Are you tired? I can get the guest room ready for you.”
Lena was tired… from all the crying. ”Nah… I am going to leave.”
”Did you not say you wanted to stay overnight?”
”I just wanted to brawl out my feelings to a friend. Plus, I don't have any clothes here and I have to work early tomorrow.”
”It's late.” Gary said worryingly.
Lena got up and walked towards the window. ”As I assumed, they are still out there.”
Gary got up too and looked out with her. He spotted a black car, hiding peacefully in the dark, not too far from the apartment.
”Where is your bathroom? I'll stay here for a bit until my eyes are not red and puffy then I'll leave. Just in case they think you did something bad to me.”
Lena also did not want to show people her in a vulnerable state too. She washed her face and Gary brought her some snacks and they sat and watched some late night news.
Lena was feeling more cheerful and relaxed. It was a good thing to release all that stress. She stayed for a while longer. When it was 3 am, Lena turned off the television. She looked to her side to see Gary already cuddled up on the sofa and asleep.
She smiled. She went to find his room so she could grab a blanket for him. However, lots of his rooms were locked with a security passcode, so Lena just rolled her eyes.
'What did he have here that is so important?'
Lena walked back to Gary who was still sleeping soundlessly. She bent down on the floor and stared at his baby face.
”Thank you.” Lena whispered. ”Thank you for not leaving me.”
