Chapter 237 - Excuses, excuses (1/2)
While Lena was having her girl's night, Kris went back up to his penthouse to grab himself a drink too. He sat in his office and looked through some important documents.
After a few minutes, his phone started to ring. He glanced over and saw ”Nerd” popped out. He stopped reading and picked up the call.
”What is it?”
”You sound grumpy... did I interrupt you?” Gary spoke.
”No. What do you need?”
”Is Lena with you? I tried to call her but seems like she's busy.”
”She's not with me. She's out with Hazel.”
”No wonder you're grumpy.”
”What are you implying...” Kris raised his voice.
”Nothing... that's not why I called.” Gary replied. ”Have.... Lena made new enemies recently?”
”No. You see something wrong in your magical world?”
”It's not magical... and yes, some red flags. Her name has been popping up lately on my alert system. She must have pissed some bad people, they are really digging her information up.”
”Block them.” Kris demanded.
”Already did. I only allowed taking the simple information so it doesn't look too obvious.”
”Have you trace who is searching for her information?”
”I did... well found one out of three. The other two are a bit smarter but I'll find them.” Gary answered. ”You want the name?”
”....” Obviously, he wanted the name.
”Hacker name Warp, the Real name Daniel Han, college drop-out but definitely made a name in the hacker society.”
”I don't need the name of the hacker, I need to know who is paying him.”
”I know... stop ruining my moment of intelligence.”
”....”
”There was a wire transfer to his account an hour ago. I traced it to a company offshore account. Long Law firm? You know anything about that?”
”I do.”
Kris could hear his elevator ding which means that Lena was probably home and looking for him.
”You want me to do anything?” Gary asked.
”No. It's a women's battle.”
”What does that ----”
Kris hung up the call on Gary before he could finish his sentence. Lena opened the door to his office. Kris stood up and walked toward Lena.
”Did you just get home?”
”Yeah, I didn't see you so I expected you to be up here.” Lena yawned. ”Were you on the phone?”
”Nothing important.” Kris grabbed Lena's left hand, looked at the beautiful ring on her finger and kissed it. ”You didn't drink too much right?”
”No... but I am going to go shower and get ready to sleep. I am tired.”
”Ok.”
Lena parted from him and walked to his bedroom. Kris closed his laptop and carried his work with him back to his room.
”Do you have any clothes for me yet?”
