Chapter 100 - Gossip (1/2)
Lena looked back at Kris. He seemed so confident about his workers. Lena would not want to work with such a strict boss, but the no gossip rule was nice. SHe would need to make sure her workers ensure her privacy too.
”Who's Hugh? Doctor Tye mentioned him a few times too… Kept saying something like we are similar. Hugh's a girl?” Lena changed the topic.
”No. He's a man.”
A man? Lena was confused about how she can be so similar to a man. Maybe the man is girly? Or was she manly?!
She looked down at herself. No... she was pretty and looked pretty. No way she is manly. It can be something else about both of them. ”Am I going to meet him sometime?”
”No.”
”Ok, then. Can I go visit Gary?”
”No.”
Lena walked furiously toward him. ”What?! You can't keep me away from him…You said ---”
”If you want to visit him, you'll need to do something for me.”
Lena's eyes widened. Of course, it was too easy when Kris said he can take care of Gary. He was using Gary as a hostage now, the same way she was using Madam Li. ”I am a nice person… you can just kindly ask me. You know? Like how I am kindly asking you to go see my friend?”
”My mom's birthday is coming up. Since you are close to her, find out what she wants.”
”That's it?” Lena thought that the man was going to ask her to do something impossible. ”What did you give her last year?”
”A pure breed dog… But I did not know she was allergic to dogs. She had always said she wanted company and since I cannot give her kids, I gave her a dog.”
”AHahahaha.” Lena laughed uncontrollably and placed one hand on the desk and the other on her stomach. ”A dog…. Ahahah.. You're the dog!”
”I guess you are not serious with visiting Gary.”
Lena stopped laughing and cleared her throat. ”Don't you worry, I am a professional. I can get you your answer in 24 hours so you better prepare for my visit soon.”
Lena grabbed her purse from the chair she sat on. ”Are you going to send me out? I have not gotten back to you for the flick. We must always be equal.” She demanded.
Kris reluctantly got out of his chair to walk her out. As they walk side by side, Lena continued to sense the stares from the workers. ”Are you sure they don't gossip?”
”I am sure of it.” Kris stressed.
He walked her just to the hallway. It was only a few feet to the elevator from here. James went to the elevator first and was holding the door. Lena look at the elevator then back to Kris and smiled. Kris saw her eyes sparkled for a bit.
