Chapter 268 - Mojo tiger (2/2)
They walked and join the rest of their family as they greeted the guests.
Everyone was complimenting Lena's dress and how Shen Milli was so thankful to have a great daughter like her.
Lena continued to put her public face but inside, she was silently waiting for Kris to arrive. When everyone stopped talking for a bit and looked at the door, Lena thought that maybe finally the Li family was here.
Sadly... it was just another big shop family, the Zhao's. They walked over to Lena and her parents.
”CEO Shen! You always know how to throw a good party.” Zhao Lin spoke.
”So glad you and your family can make it.” Shen Mao replied back.
”Our partnership has continued to grow both of our companies, we should continue to support each other.”
”Absolutely.”
The elders both separated from the children when they continued to talk business. Lena's eyes were still glued to the door.
”Are you waiting for Kris?” Ming Zhao asked.
”No.” Lena replied. ”He'll come sometime, whenever. You know... big shots never come on time or it's not cool.”
Ming Zhao laughed... he never usually come on time to events. He did not know if Lena was just making a general comment or referring to him.
”Well, if you are not waiting for someone, let's go get a drink.”
”It's over there, you can go yourself.”
”You're supposed to put your good hostmask on.”
Lena rolled her eyes and him but reluctantly lead them both to the drinks. She grabbed one for herself and handed the other one to Ming.
”By the way, where is your brother?”
”He was here... probably saw someone to hook up with and left. Why you ask?”
”Just wondering.” Lena casually shrugged.
”What about me? You can ask about me. I have not seen you since... since you broke up with me.”
”First of all, we were never a thing so we can't break up. And second of all, I have so many handsome men around me, I can't keep track and give them all attention. You know Kris is like a mojo tiger?”
”A mojo tiger...?” Ming cleared his throat.
Ming drank his glass of wine. Lena and he talked about the progress of Project Crystal and how Madam Zhou's fashion industry was doing. They were now at the opposite end of the room from the entrance.
When the Li family entered the event room, Lena did not immediately spot her man because she was laughing at Ming's jokes. However, the rest of the room defnitely felt the intense and powerful aura from the family.
Kris wore a light gray suit, matching with Lena's grey-blue dress. His mother had her hand on Kris arm, the first time that Kris had ever escorted her mother like that. The crowd was very cautious and that sight did not get missed.
Madam Li had a big grin, she was so happy that she can forever attend events being escorted by her son, just like any other old Madam her age. Even though Madam Li's smile was so big, Kris' face was dull as usual. No smile, no fear, no emotions.
His eyes glanced through the crowd but somehow, he could not spot his tigress.
”Auntie.” A soft voice spoke.
Everyone finally spot a tall young woman next to Madam Li, opposite of Kris.
”Who is she? I have never seen her before.”
”She called Madam Li, Auntie.... could she be from the Wang family?”
”The Wangs...? I don't remember seeing someone like her before.”
The crowd started to murmur as Madam Li released her hand from Kris' arm and looked at Becca. ”I am going to go talk with my friends, you young people can stop following me.”
Madam Li spoke as if both of them wanted to follow her. Kris was ready to dump his sweat mother with her old lady crowd and go find Lena... and Becca was the one who was ready to follow Kris everywhere he went.
