Chapter 186 - Her date today (2/2)

”You wait here, I'll drive the car around.” Ming said.

He ran out in the heavy rain to go to his car. He was soaking wet but one person getting wet was better than two. He drove the car around and Lena goes inside. She looked at Ming and he was wet, his clothes dripping onto his seat, soaking it.

He drove Lena to her apartment and the rain has stopped by then.

”You're drenched. Wanna go inside to change before you leave?” Lena offered.

”It's fine.” Ming sneezed.

”See you just sneezed. You'll get sick and then Madam Zhao will force me to marry you. Come inside and get change.”

Ming looked at Lena then nodded. He drove his car further and used the outdoor parking. They both walked to Lena's apartment together.

Kris was busy the whole day. Apart from him being irritated today, he tried to keep it down the entire day. He had meetings with his shareholders today, regarding their rise in stocks and their international companies.

Later that night, he had a meeting with his private security team. He was yelling at them for that one day his mother went missing for a few hours. He doubled up the security on Madam Li. He just got rid of Madam Yang and agitated the Bai family. Although they don't know yet, it was good to always be cautious.

Kris got out of his last meeting. He walked into his room with Collin following him in. Kris looked at the clock and it was 8:30 p.m. He looked at his phone and there was still do text from Lena. He sighed.

Collin cleared his throat. Kris ignored it and send Lena a text.

Kris: Did you eat yet?

Collin cleared this throat again.

”What!” Kris shouted.

”Uh... Today is Friday.”

”I know that.” Kris sounded annoyed.

”Miss. Shen has her date today...”

”What?” Kris stood up. Of course, Gary mentioned it once too. He had been so occupied with Lena's weird behavoir that he forgot that she had a date. ”How long ago?”

”Uh... I think an hour and half ago?”

Kris instantly dialed Lena's phone number. She should be home already.

”Hello?” The phone got connected but a man's voice spoke.

”Who's this?” Kris asked.

”Who are you?” The man replied.

Through the phone, Kris heard Lena's voice shout.

”Ming-ge! Are you still in the shower?” Lena yelled, but Kris could only hear her faintly.

”Not yet, I was waiting for you!” Ming shouted back.

Kris instantly hung up. He grabbed his overcoat and ran out of the door.

”Where are you going?!!” Collin shouted.

------

Ming smiled at the call that just got disconnected. Obviously, he knew that the caller was Kris, his caller ID showed up. He just couldn't help but tease the man. Payback...

”I already put the clothes on the bed. Did you not see it?” Lena spoke through the door.

”Uh... Oh.. I see it now.” Ming lied.

”Well, hurry up... I need to sleep!”

Lena was confused. Inviting him in for a free change of clothes turned to him needing a shower before leaving. She already offered him clean clothes, she could not be mean and deny the poor man his shower too. Lena already rejected him twice now.

Ming already finished changing his clothes before he picked up the call. Lena must have left her phone in the guestroom when she brought him clothes and a towel.

Ming got out. He thanked Lena and left. Lena went to clean the guestroom a bit and noticed that she had left her phone there. She checked it but there was nothing. Ming already erased the history.

It was a bit humid after the rain. Lena changed into a sleeveless, silk nightgown. She flopped onto her bed and tried to finish her romance movie.
