Chapter 159 - Play all the cards (1/2)
Lena finished her bowl of noodle first and washed her own dish. She went back and sat at the table as she waited for Kris to finish his food. Kris quickly finished his food and passed the bowl to Lena. Lena stared at him confusingly.
”You want me to wash that?” She asked.
”Is that not why you are still here?” Kris thought that Lena did not leave because she was being nice and waiting for him to finish and then wash the dish since he cooked.
Lena did not complain, grabbed the bowl and washed it. She went back and sat on the table. ”We need to talk.”
”About.”
”Andy.”
Him... What is there to talk about him? ”What about him?”
”I have him turning away from Eva now. But I need to know when you are going to hit Mayor Bai so we can do it together. I also don't want Andy running wild doing his own thing.”
”So what's your plan?”
Lena told Kris that there were still some unsolved questions on her side of things. She still needed to find the real relationship between Eva and Madam Yang. Kris told Lena that on his side of things, he was ready to take down Mayor Bai. But Kris said that taking down Madam Yang should be something Gary and he should be doing.
Lena was confused why the two men were pushing her out of the plan but she did not want to ask Kris. She felt like she needed to talk to Gary instead.
Lena put on her slippers and got ready to leave. She turned back to Kris.
”Oh... I almost forgot. How about your mom? Her birthday is on Monday isn't it?”
”Yeah...” Kris was confident that there was not a speck on Lena that he would not be able to touch... but he does not know about another woman.
”Don't worry about it. We'll work it out.” Lena gave the big man a pat on the shoulder and left.
Lena went back to her apartment to get some stuff ready for her meeting with Andy. She downloaded some stuff that Noah had sent her regarding Eva and Mike's affair. She also got the medical record that Tye sent her.
She does not know if she will need to use them all to bring Andy 100% away from Eva, but she will try. Lena knew that she could not tell Andy about Gary being his half-brother because that is something Gary needs to do himself.
Lena needed to play all the cards she has.

Lena texted Andy that she will be coming to his office soon. It was better if they met in a professional setting rather than somewhere else.
Lena parked her car and walked into the tall building. She went up to the elevator and landed on Andy's floor. Sophia greeted Lena and opened the door for her.
Lena walked in and saw that Andy was standing and looking out the window. He's going to do that a lot more. He was also going to continue to ask him about what went wrong in the relationship. Lena as been through and done that.
”You sure you are ready?”
Andy turned around and saw Lena. He sat down on his chair and nodded his head. ”Yeah. It's now or never.”
Lena sat down on a chair across from him. ”The antidote. A friend gave it to me after I got hold of the pills.”
Lena did not want to go into too many details. She was ready to lie to Andy but not make an entirely fake story. Keeping a fake story to the real fact as close as possible was easier to keep the story straight for next time.
”So how did I get a hold of the pills? Mike Zhao.” Lena observed the changes in Andy's reaction and saw that he knew something about Mike. ”You should know him, the bastard son in the Zhao family. But anyway, he was a man.... how do I make this sound nicer... a man who can't keep his pants up.”
”Typical of bastards..” Andy spoke.
NOT GARY!! Lena screamed in her head. Gary was the exact opposite of Mike. ”He approached me, used the pills on me, but I escaped. Managed to grab one for my own testing. I approached him again the next time, strictly for business. I told him I wanted in on his product line so I could get information on him.”
”It was that easy.. for you?”
”He liked big boobs... what can I say.” Lena smiled cunningly at Andy.
Andy was surprised to see Lena in such a new mask. She was always very self-conscious about her bigger body parts than most Asian girls.
