Chapter 94 - Embrace all of that (2/2)
She must have been tolerant of him because she can relate somewhat to him. Not to the same level, but to some extent. Everyone is not always as they are seen out in the public. She too puts on a mask to survive. Knowing from how much and strong the Li family was, Kris must have put on a heavier mask.
”What are you feeling?” Lena questioned.
”Good.”
”Don't start calling me mom now…”
”Should I call you Lena then?” Kris joked.
”Yes, you should.”
”We are not that close.”
”Why is it so hard for you to make friends?”
”I have more friends than you.”
Oooff. Lena took that blow harshly. ”Then you should be my friend then. I need more of 'em. I have been so nice to you and all you have done to me is….” Lena took a moment to think. ”Now that we are even... You had done nothing actually.”
Kris smiled behind her and let her loose. He gently walked out of the bed and stood up. ”They are here.”
”How can you tell?”
Just then, there was a knock on the door. ”This never happened, okay?” Kris left to go open the door.
Lena laughed to herself and trailed behind Kris. The door opened and a man she never met before rushed to bro-hug Kris. Without warning, Tye suddenly jabbed a needle right in his neck.
”What the hell?!” Kris pushed Tye.
”Antidope.”
Lena could tell why Kris had the soft personality he has. Although he was thick-skinned and has gone through whatever hell he went through, everyone still treated him like a precious family member. The way Collin worked with him and how Keso protected him.
Seeing them, Lena missed Gary. She wished that he was here to cheer her on too. Lena cleared her throat. ”Hello, I am Lena Shen.”
”Ah! The famous Miss. Shen. I am Doctor Tye, but you can just call me Tye.” Tye winked at her and extended a hand for Lena to shake. Before she could take it, Kris slapped Tye's hand down.
”We're leaving.” Kris spoke. ”Thanks… for today.” He walked out first and Keso followed behind. Tye and Collin said goodbye to Lena then turned around too.
”Wait.” Lena went to her doorway closet and grabbed out a bag. ”It's your clothes, from last time. I laundry them already.”
Kris grabbed the bag from her hands.
”And... you are really banned from my house from now on.”
Lena closed the door and slid down to the floor. 'Aiyaa… why is my heart beating so fast.'
She stood up and walked back to now finally cook something for her to eat. She could hear her stomach growling when she was with Kris. She hoped that he did not hear any of it.
Lena walked past her work area but at the corner of her eyes, she saw that the computer had stopped running the phone number. She walked over and saw the name that popped up..
Her heart stopped for a few seconds. ”Bai Wentao…. Isn't that the mayor of city A?”
