Chapter 243 - I am an only son (1/2)
That night, Lena did not wait up for Kris as he said. She went ahead and slept on her comfy bed instead. However, in the middle of the night, she could still unconsciously feel when Kris got back and crawl into bed with her.
She would move closer to hear and fall back to sleep. The next morning, when she woke up, Kris was gone already. Lena glanced at her phone and noticed that there had not been a single call from her mother but definitely lots of text from Hazle.
Lena stretched and got off the bed. After she was done getting ready, she sat down on her chair and finally called Hazel.
”GIRL!” Hazel answered the phone. ”HOW DARE YOU!”
”You're lively this morning.”
”Oh yeah, I have a photoshoot this morning. BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT!”
”Chill woman.... I am not across the ocean that you needed to shout.” Lena replied.
”So... how much is this man paying you to be his woman? Is this why you have gotten so fast over Andy?”
”Woah Woah there, no one is paying me. More like I am stealing money from him. And no, I don't need a new relationship to get over Andy... I am long over him before I even got it in with Kris. Don't be pulling up nonsense.”
Lena could hear Hazel sniffing over the phone.
”My Lena has grown up and got herself into a relationship before me.”
”Please Hazel, if you get serious with someone then you wouldn't be changing men so fast.”
”Easy for you to say. It's complicated okay?” Hazel replied.
”You're a pretty and successful woman. You just need to get serious with a relationship instead of just hitting the hot men. We're not getting any younger Hazle.”
”Gosh... you sound like our mom's now.” Hazel shivered. Is this what adult Lena sound like?! ”SOOO.... when am I going to get to see the almighty and powerful cold CEO?”
”He's a busy man. Do you think he can just make time for you just because you are my friend? You would need an appointment, lady. And don't you dare sneak behind my back to go see him. I will kill you. Plus, how can you just see him when I barely get to see----” him lately. That was what Lena was going to say.
Lena opened her bedroom door to go out and she spotted Kris casually sitting on the sofa. He glanced up to her and smiled.
”I have to go.” Lena finished her sentence.
”Wait.. you didn't---”
Lena hung up the phone and walked over to sit with Kris.
”Morning.” Kris cuddled in Lena.
”You didn't make a sound... I thought you left already.”
”I didn't want to wake you up. And I wanted to see if your voice had gotten better... but it seems like it is perfect since you are already complaining about your horrible boyfriend so early in the morning.” Kris kissed Lena's cheek.
”Yes... and if you see him, please do tell him that he needs to give me more attention or I might go insane and throw a Lena tantrum.”
”Oh? I really want to see a Lena tantrum.”
Lena pouted and Kris grabbed her chin and gave her another kiss, but this time directly to her lips.
”I wanted us to have breakfast together today.” Kris stood up.
Lena following him to the dining room and opened her mouth in amazement. Kris chuckled and pulled the chair out for her.
”Close your mouth. I didn't cook this... I had it delivered.”
”Oh... sad. You could have told me you made it and I would have believed you.”
They both had a large and fulfilling breakfast before Kris went to work first.
When they ate together, Lena had not brought up any question regarding the events lately. Instead of going straight to his office today, Kris went down to the basement HQ.
As he stepped out of the elevator, the workers quickly greeted him. After he went into his office and closed his door, all the workers looked at each other.
They were giving each other the face of 'Even though our boss has a woman now... he is still as scary as ever.'
Kris got into this office room down here and went to sit on his chair. ”Report.”
