Chapter 88 - Too much like a woman (1/2)

The days quickly when every day was a warzone. It was the day of Elder Zhao's birthday. Even though Ming Zhao had personally invited her to attend, she was hesitant to go or not. She did not want to steal his thunder for that day.

However, her parents decided last minute to go visit her grandparents since her grandpa was not feeling well. She wanted to go too, but Shen Mao said that she needed to attend the event to represent the Shen Family. The Zhao family has done a lot to them and they should be respectful and fortunate to them.

For this event, Lena chose a twilight blue dress, with tulle. As always, she chose the most elegant jewelry to match her outfit. She decided on a set of jewelry that will showcase their next seasonal items from AURA.

For her hairstyle, she let it down with some simple curls. She had her front bangs clipped up nicely to the side. She finished her looks with a gentle sweet make-up application.

James texted Lena that he was outside and had already picked up the gifts from the Shen Mansion. Lena quickly grabbed her purse and put on her shoe.

As she arrived on the ground level, she also saw Kris's elevator doors opened. He stepped out dressed in a navy blue suit. He was finishing up buttoning his cuffs.

”Hello, Mr. Li.” Lena greeted him.

Kris looked up to see Lena. He had not seen her dressed up in awhile. She mostly wore her business attires and have her hair up. Today, her hair was down and her eyes sparkled with her dress. Kris nodded at her and buttoned the last of his cuff buttons.

”You are dressed…. Quite extra today. Will you be attending Elder Zhao's grand birthday today too?”

Kris did not respond but instead kept looking at her long hair. ”You look prettier with your hair up.” He finally spoke.

”Hm.. why? I like it down more.” Lena touched her hair.

”You look too much like a woman with your hair down.” Kris remembered how Tye told him to always think that Lena was Hugh from now on. Just like a man, he said. But with her hair down, she definitely does not look like a man.

Lena was a bit agitated by that comment. 'Is he implying that I look like a man?'

Lena let out a small scoff. This morning, she pulled herself together to pick up the things that he ignorantly left in her home. She even laundry them and put them in a nice bag. She was going to return them to him, but now, she is just going to throw them away.

”Well… Your hair is getting longer now. Are you not going to get a haircut?” She replied.

Kris ignored her comment and walked off. Lena's widen her eyes a bit. He does this too much.

”I guess I'll see you there then!” She yelled out to him. He was already out the door and into the car. Lena gracefully walked, taking her time to get inside her own car.

”You look nice today, Miss. Shen.” James greeted her and opened the car door.

”Thank you, James. You are a true man who knows how to compliment a woman.” Lena smiled and got into the car.
