Chapter 89 - Better Quality (1/2)

”She's not pregnant.” Andy firmly spoke.

”I just remember ---”

Before Lena could speak, Eva anxiously interrupted her. ”You remembered? From that day about what I said?”

Lena and both gave Eva a weird look. ”You said you were pregnant?” Andy asked her.

”I… I…” She looked at Lena but Lena kept her straight poker face. ”Lena said she remembered, so I just wanted to know if she remembered that day were we kidnapped together.” She held onto Andy's arm. ”I really tried to help her and told them to not hurt her.”

”Didn't you say you were unconscious the whole time?” Lena taunted.

”I… Andy..”

”I am sorry if I said something I should not have. I only said that you were pregnant because Hazel kept bragging about how quickly you both wanted the wedding and how Eva had been staying at the Yang mansion a lot lately.”

”She's not pregnant.” Andy swore. ”You should know why.”

Lena knew that Andy was referring to how adamant he was about no sex before marriage. ”I know.”

Lena walked and held Eva's hand. ”I am sorry for saying that. I won't listen to Hazel's nonsense again. Surely, mei-mei, I can call you that right?” Eva smiled at Lena. ”Mei-mei should be patient with big brother Andy. You should not push him for a fast wedding too, especially since there is a problem at the company now. You should be there and support him.”

”There is a problem with the company?” Eva looked at Andy concernedly.

Kris threw a curveball to the Yang family. He dug up some information on one of Andy's most famous boy bands and now the news is slowly spreading that the boys were sexually assaulting waitresses. The mainstream news has not yet released much content because Andy had shut them down currently, but he knew that it would get out soon.

Andy had to deal with this problem before it officially got leaked.

”Eva you should not worry about it too much. These are just simple business stuff.” Lena assured her. ”Andy also has me. I have helped him deal with something like this before and since I have taken over SHYNE, my business works have only improved.”

Lena walked over to Andy. ”Andy, if you need anything, remember, we are family. Don't be shy to ask for me. You know that I will always be capable to help you with anything.”

Lena intentionally rubbed some information so it gets into Eva's mind. Eva was already feeling it. Although she has Andy right with her, she cannot help Andy with anything about the company.

”Oh, Secretary Han has arrived. I will have to go greet him, excuse me.”

Lena left a distraught Eva. Andy thought that everything Lena said was pretty normal and did not think any more of it.

”Are you okay?” Andy asked Eva.

”Oh… I am fine. Let's go get something to drink.”

Lena had a grin on her face. It felt nice to show Eva that she had chosen the wrong way to be with Andy. Lena pitied Eva. If Eva had kept her kind and gentle heart to be loyal to Andy, they could have been alright together.

It felt fulfilling to know that all along, Lena had always been right about being a better quality than Eva. The old Lena had a great amount of time doubting that her defeat was because she was a lower quality than Eva. Lena felt somewhat satisfied knowing that she is doing justice to this body.

From that small conversation, Lena learned that Eva was not really pregnant. So what nonsense she was spouting when they were in that dark room was just so she could be kept alive. However, what Lena does not understand is why Madam Yang kept Eva alive?

Madam Yang was a smart and cunning woman. She would know that Eva is not pregnant. Eva must have something else against Madam Yang or Madan Yang has more use of Eva. Regardless, Lena promised herself that she will find those answers.

”Henry!” Lena hugged the man. ”And this is…” Lena paused and stared at both of them. ”Elizabeth Liu?”
