Chapter 178 - Womens Fashion Show (2/2)
”Kris Li is attending the event too? That is surprised, the place is so full of a young woman.” Madam Zhao expressed. Lena was also surprised. She was sure Kris would not be attending the event today. That was not part of the plan.
”Of course he is attending the event with me and Lena.” Madam Li went close to Lena and grabbed her arm.
Lena fell like these two mothers were fighting to see who sons were better in general.... or better for her?
”It is alright indeed.” Madam Zhao turned to Lena and hold her other arm. ”Lena dear, why not come to my house tonight to celebrate the fashion show afterward?”
”I--” Lena wanted to say ”I have to go slay a baby dragon today.” but even if she couldn't, Madam Li spoke first.
”Lena is already eating at my house tonight with my son.” Madam Li tugged Lena a bit to her side.
”That is alright, Lena can come to STAY at my house the next day, even SLEEPOVER if she wants to. Don't you worry dear, I'll call and invite your parents for dinner that day after this.” Madam Zhao tugged Lena to her side.
”I.. uh..” Lena was not a rope for this tug of war. SHE HAS DRAGONS TO SLAY! For the first time, free food was not on her priority list.
”Ming Zhao!” Lena yelled for Ming when she saw him walking down the corridor. Luckily he heard her delicate voice and walked over. He grinned when he saw her between two Madams...
”Greeting Madam Li. Hello, mom.” Ming greeted them. ”If you don't mind, I have some business with Lena.”
”That's right, that's right, you both go. Just come back before the show aye?” Madam Zhao spoke and let go of Lena.
Madam Li did not want to let go, but her son was not here so she lost this round. Madam Zhao victoriously smiled as Ming took Lena away.
”I hope Madam Li and her son enjoy the rest of the show.” Madam Zhao spoke and left.
Madam Li composed herself. She raised a hand and waved for her bodyguard behind her to come closer. ”Call Kris to come here this instant! If he does not come here, he will get married tomorrow!”
”Yes, Madam.”
Madam Li walked to her seat and calmed herself down. The guard called Kris and Kris was utterly confused. In the past, Madam Li's of a threat would work with Kris but, of course, he would not come this time, he would love to get married tomorrow... to Lena of course. But he knew something must have happened.
The call ended and the bodyguard reported to Madam Li that Kris will be here shortly.

”Collin, turn around the car. Head to the Women's Fashion Show.”
”What about Gary?”
”Keso is with him, everything should be fine on their end. But, something must have happened at the fashion show.”
”I'll step on it.” Collin stepped on the gas and turned around, heading back to City A.
Kris texted Gary and Keso the change of plans. He wondered what happened that his mother used her old threats again. He texted Lena just in case. There has been no reply from her since this morning. He looked at his empty good morning text.
