Chapter 164 - Evening event (1/2)

Lena waited patiently for Kris to come back with his medicine. She was a bit surprised that he had medicine, considering last time he did not. But she guessed, he was finally stocking his house with daily things.

Lena could finally see Kris' head popping out of the stairs after a few more minutes. He walked over to Lena and handed her a chapstick. She looked at his amazing medicine. 'Did she had a chapped lip?'

She took his offer anyway and put it on. When she was done, she handed it back Kris.

Lena smiled at him. ”Thanks. It's late now, so I will go. I still have my shooting lesson tomorrow with James. See you later.” She walked down the stairs.

Kris stared at her until her figure left his sight. He glanced down at the chapstick he gave her. He uncapped it and then put it on his lips. 'Would this be considered an indirect kiss?'

He sighed and laid back on the lounge chair as he stared into the night sky. Tomorrow is going to be a rough day.

Lena grabbed her pot and rice container and left the penthouse. When she got back to her apartment, she cleaned up her mess before going to take a shower. She still had to listen in to spy on Eva and Andy tonight. Andy told her that he will stay with her tonight to talk a few things to her about the ”wedding.”

The next day, Lena met up with James as usual at the shooting range. They would be working on her aim today. Their lesson for tomorrow would be pushed for another time since she would be going to see Gary on Sunday.

James told her that it takes a while to know how to aim and shoot. And even so, each gun is different and knowing how to adjust to each difference and still be able to aim, that take skills.

Lena was able to hit the target's body today but not always hit where she wanted to hit. She continued to practice though. Practice makes perfect.

James and Lena both stayed later than usual to practice. They also worked more on some of Lena's self-defense skills. Whenever she had free time, she had been working on her upper body strength.

When Lena drove home, she was exhausted. Even though she was ready to crash on her bed, she knew that Kris was going to try touching another girl today. She needed to be there to support her friend. Today, James also tag along in case it gets ugly.

She just finished taking a shower when the doorbell rang. James went to get it while Lena got dressed. James knocked on her door and she opened it. He was carrying a box.

”What's this?”

”Keso brought it here. He said that Kris will be going to an evening event.”

Lena looked at the box and then took it from James. She closed the door and then opened the box to see how amazing Kris' taste in women's fashion was. Inside the box, a beautiful twilight gown greeted her. She took out. It was just like the night sky she kept looking out of Kris' rooftop.

Good taste. His future girlfriend would be proud of him. She put it on and quickly did her hair and make-up. Keso texted her that Kris already went ahead since it was not good for them to arrive together. However, Kris still wanted Lena to see his progress.

Lena doesn't know why he would choose something so out of the scale… she hoped that he would not push himself too much tonight. Tye said that pushing himself could lead to bad relapses.

Lena put her hair in a fish braid at the back and clipped it with several beautiful pins.

James drove Lena to the place. It looked like a friend's party. There were many young men and women here in the area. Lights were everywhere. An invitation card was also inside with the dress. Lena showed her card to the guard and she was let him

James was also dressed too, but he went through a different way to go meet up with Keso.

Lena used to attend many of these events, but her life was not about this stuff anymore. If she found no benefit from attending this event, she would not come. There have been a few times she went with Hazel since she could meet top stars.

Lena grabbed a glass of drink from one of the workers and walked her way toward the inner part of the party. This was definitely an exotic place for her. There were people dancing on poles and women in swimsuit at the pool.

She finally spotted Kris with a few men she does not know and there were ladies there too. He seemed like he was having a nice time but Lena knew the mask they needed to wear for these types of events. Smile and pretend like you are an amazing person.

Kris met her eyes and Lena smiled at him. She gave him a wink and walked elsewhere to watch him far afar.

Before she could sit down, a man approached her.

”You must be... Lena Shen.”

Lena looked at the man. He was cute. ”Yes, that's correct. Sorry, but I don't think I know you.”

”Not from here.” He stuck his hand for a handshake. Lena took it and they both shook hands. ”Your friend calls me Young Master Huang.” He laughed.
