Chapter 111 - Eavesdropping (2/2)

Kris grabbed back the dish that both of them hated and placed it on his side of the table. ”Then I will kindly ask.”

Lena crossed her arms and waited. She stared at him with dissatisfaction.

Collin popped his head and nudged Kris for him to continue. Lena could not see him because her back was facing away from Collin. Tye also popped his head and gave Kris the ”okay.”

Kris wanted to kill both of them. ”Remember that favor I asked you to do before? I..” He paused. ”I want you to help me with that too.”

Lena stopped her angry glares. She thought that he was going to ask her to do something stupid again. She did not really expect that the conversation she had with Tye would actually make Kris ask her for help for real. Kris must have been a very spoiled child. She could tell that it was hard for him to ask for anything so nicely. She guessed that it was due to his strong authoritative personality. Sometimes, being at the top, you forget how to ask for some things nicely. Not everyone worked for you.

She smiled. She grabbed the nasty dish back and placed it right in front of her. ”You forgot please.”

Kris glared at her, but it was directed towards the two-man behind her. They were giving him the ”keep going” signal, waving their hands like crazy men.

”Would you help me with my therapy, please?”

”Ok.” Lena pushed all the dishes back to the middle of the table. She took a bit from her favorite dish, taking the last shrimp from it. She swallowed. ”But...”

BUT?! Kris was holding his patience so much and there is a but!!!!

”You have to pay me,” Lena replied. ”And you are not allowed to harm me. I will charge you for every single pain you give me.”

”What happened to being kind?”

”You are not my friend,” Lena replied back to what Kris told her once before.

”I am your teacher.”

”Yeah... but if I help you, then wouldn't I be the teacher then? Plus, you're rich and I am poor. You can spare another person on your payroll.”

”Fine.”

Lena was happy. She was getting paid for doing an easy job! Kris was not paying attention much when they were talking. When he looked back at the dishes, Lena had already picked out all the meat. He was still hungry, but he put down his chopsticks. He'll get back at her, just wait.

Tye winked at Kris and dragged Collin back to the hallway. James, as usual, had no reaction. He did not entirely know what was going on but he could make most of the conversation. He'll make sure Lena was safe at all times.
