Chapter 256 - Think again (1/2)
”Let her go.” Kris commanded.
With his fierce instruction, Lena immediately let the woman go. Lena quickly walked over the woman, who was sprawled onto the floor. Lena ran and hugged him.
”I was so scared!!!” She whimpered...obviously not real.
The woman got up, panting as she patted her chest. ”You, you almost killed me!”
”Becca!” Kris shouted her name.
”You know her?” Lena stopped hugging and looked up at him. ”I was so scared for my life, and you know her?! I thought I was the only woman allowed here!”
”Babe... you are the only one allow up here.” Kris consoled her, trying to hug her again but Lena refused it. He glared at Becca, who stared at the couple with ill-intent. ”You dare break into your boss' private home?”
”I----” Becca looked at Lena, who obviously smirked for one second then hid it. 'This woman! She is faking her stupid act so Kris is on her side. He was right to say that she was a danger to him.'
”I am sorry, boss!” Becca held her stomach to which both Kris and Lena saw that she was bleeding. ”I got hurt and almost compromised my mission. I had to go somewhere safe, I thought you would be with your mother so I snuck in...”
Kris looked at Becca, but his expression was stern, not showing what he was even thinking about.
”Ah.. I am so sorry.” Lena spoke. ”I didn't know she was injured and I... I even hurt her some more. I didn't know she worked for you.”
”It's not your fault.” Kris patted Lena's head then kissed it. ”It's my fault for allowing someone inside to scare you.”
”I am very sorry for scaring you, Miss. Shen. You were only defending yourself, my stab wound is only minor to your health and security.”
Lena looked at Becca and saw that this time, the woman smirked at her. 'This woman... does she think playing compliant will work on Kris? Please, I am the ace of babying my man. You'll never achieve that.'
”Lena... Why don't you go get some warm water and the first aid kit?” Kris asked.
”Ok.”
When Lena left, Kris closed the door tight and then turned to look at Becca. His unemotional and sweeter side immediately turned cold and infuriated.
”You dare lie in front of me?!” His words send down a cold shill down Becca's spine. ”Tell me, why are you here? What is so important that you disobeyed commands and to even jump out of a helicopter to enter my home?”
”I...” Becca instantly got onto the ground. She knew that she needed to choose her next words wisely. ”Ace. I heard that he came back and approached you. If he is here, then I should be here with you. We don't know what he is up to.”
”We?? Do you seriously think that your presence here can change anything? Ace is not a threat to me, but people who cannot obey my commands are.”
”Please, I won't do it again. Tyler is in City A so I needed to be here. I was careless when I tried to enter his underground base to steal some information.”
”Why are you so careless all of a sudden? You have been tasked to stay close with Tyler for almost two years now... I have told you countless time to be patient. This isn't something you can mess up.”
”I understand... It won't happen again. I will not jeopardize the mission.” She got up.
”And...” Kris walked closer to her and Becca swallowed. ”How do you even know... Miss. Shen?”
Becca slipped and called Lena that before. ”The news... and the men at work.”
”I see... and are they the one who helped you hack into the system too?”
Becca's heart stopped. How did Kris know?
From her reaction, Kris got his answer. He grabbed her neck and squeezed it. He was hurting her but she did not make a sound...
