Chapter 254 - On and off relationship (2/2)
”Yeah, I don't know her.”
”No... you do. She was gone for a long time because.... she fell on you. You... like disfigured her, or so that's what the rumors said. She got plastic surgery.”
”Disfigured? Now, I do remember something like that... she lived?”
”You... seriously. Are you going to say I lived too?” Lena glared at him. It was in the past... but she still remembered that he once put a hit on her.
”We don't speak about that... it's my greatest mistake.” Kris replied. ”But if you want me to confess and apologize until I drop dead, I will do so, only for you.”
”That's not it... I am just astonished at how unforgetful you are of people's face.”
”Only to those that do not matter. They are insignificant.”
The lights started to dim as the event start. There were a few talks, short introductions and then the movie trailer was released. The event went on for an awhile before it was time for some Q&A with the cast.
After it ended, there was some light refreshment for everyone as they all chat more about upcoming dramas and congratulate the crew and casts.
As for Lena, she did not want to stay longer. She had an exhausting night before, and she just wanted to go home and rest well. Too much standing was not too good on her current condition.
”Are you tired? We can go home so you can rest.”

”Naw... it's fine. I'll go home myself. You'll only stay here for a bit anyway. You can finish your work, then come home and be with me, win-win.” Lena smiled at him.
”Okay... But take my car. I don't want you to take a taxi home.” Kris handed Lena his parking ticket.
”What about you?”
”Don't you worry about me. I'll make sure not to get a ride home with a random stranger though.” He pulled Lena in closely and kissed her forehead once be she left.
As Lena drove home, she stopped by the grocery market to pick some quick things. They were going to her parents on Sunday. She still needed some stuff for the fridge to cook for Kris and her tomorrow.
She only got one bag of food so it was easy for her to carry it up. She entered the elevator and pressed the top floor for Kris' place instead of hers.
As the door open, and Lena stepped out, she noticed that the light in Kris's room was lit.
'Is he home already? I didn't even take that long at the grocery store.' Lena wondered.
She turned on the light in the kitchen and placed the bag on the counter. She slowly walked to Kris' bedroom door and opened the door.
What she saw was not Kris... but an unknown woman in his room. Her hair was wet and she was wearing one of Kris' shirt. She was drying her hair with a small towel. She must have just got off the shower.
The woman turned to Lena. ”Who are you?!?”
”Me?” Lena scoffed. ”I should be asking you that. Who the f*ck are you?”
