Chapter 61 - One Problem at a Time (1/2)

Lena had a great sleep. Last night she had completed the contract between James and her and the program. She felt like it was a good day today. She had not been prettying herself much since the kidnapping and she felt like she can officially get back on track.

She picked out a simple blouse and wore a black slim high waisted skirt. She slipped on a pair of small pointed heels. Lena had her hair down with some soft waves. She didn't forget to wear her safety bracelet and matched that with some gold earrings.

Lena saw the box that had the pearl necklace sitting in her jewelry drawer. She will need to go out sometimes to buy some matching earrings with that.

Lena walked down the stairs to eat breakfast and she can hear her mother's small laughter. As expected, her mom was talking with Aunt Mary while she enjoyed her breakfast.

”Are you not going to work today?” Lena asked her mother.

”No. I have a gathering with some of the madams later.”

Lena sat down by her mother while Aunt Mary served her breakfast. ”Thank you.”

”You can go and purchase your own place. Your father was just being stubborn.”

”I know he was.”

”Just make sure you come home often to visit often.”

”I am not going to go abroad or get married. I'm just trying to be more independent like you.”

”You are my daughter after all. Hurry up, your car is already outside waiting for you.”

Lena kissed her mother goodbye and left. She had a planned meeting with all her bodyguards.

When she arrived at her office, James was already there waiting for him. Instead of going straight to her office, she brought all three men to the meeting room. They felt like it was an intense situation. Noah and Kye knew that one of them might be dismissed if James joined the team.

Lena sat at the head of the table while the three men spread themselves among the long table. They were large men that needed their space. Lena placed a few files on the table and started flipping through them.

”Noah, you have two kids?”

”I do, Miss. Shen.” Noah replied.
