Chapter 277 - Never compete with the original (2/2)
”Is there anything I can help you with?”
Lena did not reply immediately as she thought about his offer. ”No. Just make sure your punching bag isn't Keso.”
”....” Kris rolled his eyes. ”Don't do anything that will make me require a punching bag.”
Lena laughed. ”No promises.” And then she hung up the call.
When she turned around, Diane was patiently waiting for her. Diane gave her a progress report on Madam Zhao's response. Lena thanked her and then she was alone again in her office.
She looked at the pile of paperwork and quickly got to work.
Lena was busy all day. She made sure to take her lunch break but continued to work overtime like the rest of the workers. There was no time to lose when they are getting attacked.
Kris, on the other hand, focused on his own work. If Lena said she didn't need his help, then he would not interfere with her business. After all, he knew very well that his woman can handle her own problems.
Lena continued to work overtime, staying at a nearby hotel instead of going home. Since she was not home, Kris took the time to go and spend time with his friends. Collin was getting married and a married man's life was different.
They wouldn't be able to go out to drink as often and they would not be able to bully Collin much anymore.
A week quickly flew by and the release for SHYNE x LUX was in a few days.
Lena had not seen Kris for a week and she had been to busy to make time to chat with Gary. She knew that Gary wanted to talk to her about his father, but the time was just not right at the moment.
But today was the day, and Lena needed to stay on her plan if she wanted everything to pan out.
It was lunchtime when Lena called the man for the fourth time today. Luckily, he finally picked up.
”LENA!”
”How did you know it was me?” Lena replied.
”....” Tyler dare not say he saved her personal phone awhile back when he stole it from Sammy. ”Who would call me 4 times a day without knowing that I don't wake up until noon.”
”No wonder you're getting ousted as the next CEO for your father's company.”
”Hey!” Tyler shouted. ”Why would you be calling me on such a lovely afternoon anyways, Miss. Shen.”
”I need a favor.” Lena got straight to the point.
”Heh... favor? From me? Why are you not calling your amazing boyfriend?”
”If I needed my boyfriend for everything, then why does everyone else need to exist?”
”....” Creepy. But he likes it!
”I was hoping you can lend me Milo Hu.”
”Milo?”
”Yes. You must have heard about SHYNE's situation. I want the best lawyer to be defending me.”
”They have not event officially send you a lawsuit yet, why are you already preparing your legal team?”
”Becuase even if they don't send me one, I will send them one. So.. Milo, yes or not?”
”No. You already broke my heart a few times. Maybe if we go on a dinner date, I'll reconsider.” After that response, Tyler hung up the call.
However, he continued to stare at the phone, hoping Lena would give him a call back. They said he needed to play hard right? This is considered playing it hard right? AHHH! But why isn't she calling back?
It has been 20 minutes since he hung up the call. 'Call me back, please!!! I'll give Milo to you for free.....' He stared at the phone, still half-naked in bed.
