Chapter 132 - His bill (1/2)

Lena got out of work early because she wanted to shower before her daily meeting with Kris. James dropped her off as usual and left. Since thing has been fine with how Kris and Lena were, Keso should be enough for safety precautions. Ben was working today and he clicked the elevator door for Lena as she arrived.

When Lena got to her apartment, she set her stuff down and went for a cool shower. She got out after 10 minutes. She draped her wet hair in a towel. She turned on her laptop. As it boots up, she went back to the bathroom to dry her hair. She ruffled her hair as the hair drying blew her hair all over the place.

Lena combed and it let it down so it can flesh out from the hot air. She put some moisturizer on her face and went back to take a seat. She pulled up a document on her laptop and sent it to her printer.

As the printer was doing its job, Lena walked to her closet to find what she was going to wear. According to the plan that Tye made for them, today they were going to just spend some time dancing. She picked her outfit and put it on. She went to her vanity and tied her hair up.

Lena looked at the clock. She has 10 more minutes. She grabbed the paper from the printer, fold it in fourths, and placed it in her bag. She grabbed her phone and apartment keys. She was now deciding what kind of shoes to wear. She was going to be barefoot anyways so she just slipped on some house slippers.

She got to the elevator and pressed the highest floor. Kris' room was really simple from what she saw last time she was at the Li mansion. Lena was curious what kind house does he have since he lives here alone.

The elevator door opened and she walked to the door. From the outside, it looked normal like hers. She knocked on the door. There was no response. She rang the doorbell. Still no response. Lena texted Kris that she was outside his door. She waited a bit but no reply. She tried to call him but it went directly to voicemail.

”Ugh…” Lena plopped down on the carpeted floor and sat down. She tried to call him again but the result was the same. She waited for another 10 minutes and there was still no sign of Kris.

'Why is this man so late?!' Lena stood up and went back to the elevator. She hit the button to send her to the ground floor. When she got down, Ben greeted her.

”Have you seen Mr. Li come home yet?”

Ben shook his head. ”Mr. Li has not returned yet.”

Lena sighed. She walked up to the front desk. 'Might as well wait for him here.'

Kris got out of work just on time. Collin had his date so he left early and Keso drove Kris home. However, Kris made Keso stop a block away from the building. He stared at the clock as it ticked by. Lena texted him and called him a few times but he ignored it.

Keso looked at Kris through the back mirror. Did something happen between the two of them? Kris had been acting like poop since lunch…

”Kris… are you going to go yet?”

”Wait a bit more.”

”It's already half an hour past the scheduled time. If Miss. Shen gets angry, she can just pull out entirely.”

Kris looked up from his phone. ”Fine, you can go now.”
