Chapter 203 - Tornado (2/2)

Lena: Did you clean up? My mom was here

Kris: No... I stole them with me

Lena: .....

Lena got up and took a morning shower. She cleaned and got ready for her morning before heading down to go eat breakfast.

James picked her up and she left to go to work. She did not have many meetings today so she decided to check up on all the departments.

Lena told Kris that he needed to have a good compromising talk with his mother about whatever they are going on about. She said that he was not allowed to see her until he got that business done. So as they planned, Lena has her meeting with Stella today. She would see Kris tomorrow instead.

Lena delivered personally the invitations to the Shen company party to several department heads and chosen workers. By 3:30, she and James left to go her appointment.

As usually, she sat outside the office. Stella usually has an appointment with a young man before her. After a few minutes, Stella opened the door and greeted Lena. Lena walked inside the room.

Lena sat down on the sofa and Stella sat down on her usually chair too. Lena quickly spotted the big shunt ring on Stella's hand.

”So he finally asked you.” Lena spoke.

”Yes.” Stella replied, holding out her hand. ”Are you busy after this? I was wondering we can go have a small drink after your session.”

”I am fine with that.”

”Good.” Stella adjusted her seat. ”Let's get it started then.”

Lena did not always want her sessions to be on her love life. So for today, she expressed something else.

”My parents...” Lena did not know how to start. ”They have been hiding something from me for a long time now.”

Lena held her hands to give her the courage to speak about it. ”I stumbled upon the truth a few years ago, but never confronted them about it. I felt like it was not a big thing... that I would not be bothered by it... but I feel like it does bother me.”

”The truth? Or your parents not telling you about it.” Stella questioned.

”I think it is more about my parents not telling me about it. At first, I thought that maybe it was to protect me? But maybe it was to protect them? I mean, I have let it go but the thought would pass my mind every so often.”

”Do you have a good relationship with your parents?”

”I do.”

”Have you ever considered confronting them? Parents are stronger than what most people would assume.”

Stella and Lena talked more about the situation. After a long session, Lena had concluded that she really should just talk to her parent about it. Stella suggested that if she was not comfortable with both, she should choose one parent that makes her feel more conformable over the other when confronting them about the situation.

After the session ended, they both just walk to a nearby bar and had a small drink. James came along but distanced himself just to make sure both women were fine.

Stella knew that Lena was an expensive wine drinker so she did not hold her money down. Lena took a sip of the drink and looked at Stella.

”So what is it that you wanted to tell me?” Lena asked.
