Chapter 276 - The first chapter. (2/2)

”Why?”

”I still have to give you your anniversary gift.”

Kris looked at her and still closed his eyes. Lena walked over to the bag she also brought along with her. She opened the bag and took out what seems like a book.

Lena walked back to the bed. ”Ok, you can open your eyes now.”

Kris opened his eyes slowly. He was expecting Lena to be naked but he guessed wrong.

”Um... a book....”

”Don't worry. It's a picture book. I won't force my man who never finished school.” Lena smirked.

Kris rolled his eyes and then opened the book. As he flipped through the book, a small smile formed from his lips.

”You drew this?”

”Yeah.” Lena sat closer to Kris, leaning in her head to his shoulder. ”The first chapter of our story.”

Kris did not prepare anything physical for Lena. He just wanted their first month to be memorable. He knew that Lena was not a materialistic woman. He flipped through the book again. It was short but it had enough pictures drawn just for him to recall all their events together.

There were only ten pages, no dialogue, but very well drawn. The cartoon version of him and Lena was very cute.

He didn't know Lena had such a talent for drawing. He guessed there are still so many things he needed to learn about her. He slightly turned his head and gave her a kiss on her forehead.

Lena stayed with Kris for only another half an hour before going back to her room. As excepted, her mother did come to check on her later that night. Of course, she felt like a love-struck teenager texting Kris all night until she fell asleep on him.

The next day, the family went for a long hike. Of course, the old couple continued to ride the horse carriage while the rest of everyone walked and enjoyed their day with nature.

After the hike, it was a dinner where all the men had to cook for the woman. Let's just say that no one died from the dinner. It was just a good time to laugh and be together.

After dinner, everyone went back to the Shen mansion to prepare for their departure back to City Z the next morning. Because it was Lena's last night with her family, she stayed at the Shen mansion while Kris drove back to the penthouse.

Kris would not be seeing Lena as much since both of them would be working and Lena have her release with LUX soon. Apart from that, they both needed to separate for a bit. They needed to do some pest control.

The next morning, Lena had planned to go to the office late so she can send her family off. However, there was an unexpected problem and she had to rush back to the office early in the morning.

Lena quickly rushed to SHYNE. When she arrived, everyone was already in the meeting room, waiting for her to arrive.

Diane had already given a quick summary of the events before she arrived. Everyone was very anxious.

Lena took a quick look around the room before going up to the end of the table, taking her seat.

”How did this happen??” Lena demanded answered.

”...” Everyone was struggling where to start.

”It's my fault,” Melissa spoke out first. ”I should have been using the company's secure line of the database to store my files.”

Melissa was one of the main designers of SHYNE. She had worked in the company for a long time.

”Yes, you should have.”

”I will take full responsibility. I will submit my letter of resignation by the afternoon.”

”Resignation?” Lena smile. ”Over such small matters?”

'Small matters?!' Everyone eyes widened at Lena's response. One of their competitors in the market just released 1/3rd of their designs for the SHYNE x LUX collaboration jewelry set. Their release date is in a week, and it had taken them more than a month to prepare for this release.

Not only does this jeopardize their contract with LUX but this will also put a heavy fall back for the company. How is it that their boss is not even one percent concerned?!
