Chapter 279 - A couples fallout (1/2)
Lena rushed back to the Li company after Tyler gave her Milo's contact and address.
It was Collin who greeted her when she arrived at the top floor. Collin said the meeting will end soon but Lena waited and waited in the office. It wasn't until two hours later that Kris finally entered the room.
Kris walked into the room as he was talking with Becca.
”I want the final paperwork sent to me by early tomorrow.” Kris spoke.
”Yes, CEO Li.”
”And I want to personally visit the Casino the day after.”
Becca nodded.
”Wednesday?” Lena stood up from the desk chair.
Kris finally glanced over and spotted Lena in the room.
”Didn't you promise already to be at the SHYNE release event with me?” Lena pointed out.
”I did?”
”It was just yesterday night. You said you have booked that date for a few weeks now just to attend the event.” Lena was a bit annoyed and it showed in her tone.
Kris turned to Becca. ”Is it possible to reschedule?”
Becca shook her head. ”Mr. Huang's schedule is only open on Wednesday. He is going overseas the day after and his schedule is booked until the Casino's grand opening.”
”It's fine.” Lena spoke. ”Work is work. You had this project way before we dated.”
”Are you sure?” Kris asked.
Lena nodded, but she looked like she somewhat hopped Kris would still attend the event with her.
”Alright then, book it Becca.”
”Very well then.” Becca smiled. ”Will you still have dinner with Auntie Li tonight? Or since Miss. Shen is here now, you will have dinner with her instead?”
”Dinner?” Lena questioned Kris in a dark tone.
Kris walked over and sat on his chair that Lena just stood up from. ”Yes. I'll be going back to the mansion to have dinner with my mother.”
”Should I go too?”
”No. Seems like you have very busy with work lately. You should go home and rest early.”
Lena looked at Kris. ”Ok.... Will you be home tonight?”
”I don't know. Depends.”
”What's wrong with you?” Lena bluntly asked Kris.
”What's wrong with you?” Kris repeated back.
Lena furiously sat on the desk, ignoring that Becca and Collin was still in the room.
”Is this about lunch?”
”What about lunch?”
”Don't act stupid with me. I had lunch with Tyler Huang, so what? I needed something from him so I offered him lunch.”
”At his hotel room?” Kris raised his voice slightly.
”AHa, you were stalking me. Don't you trust me? If I said it was for work then it's work. End of story.”
”I do. That's why I am not even mad at you.”
”You are mad at me.”
”Does it look like I want to smack your head on my desk right now? I think I am very calm.”
Collin swallowed his fear. It does look like Kris wanted to smack someone's head to his desk right now.
”Fine!” Lena pointed at Becca. ”Then why is she here?”
”You should know very well she is work for the Huang. She's here for work.”
”She looks like your secretary. Doing a job that Collin should be doing instead.” Lena added.
”Collin is busy with his wedding preparations. And besides, a woman can be my secretary. Don't you trust me?” Kris used Lena's word back at her.
”I am leaving.” Lena flung hair and started walking out. ”before I smack your head on your desk.”
Lena slammed the office door hut before leaving. The workers all stared at the door... somehow the pity how much the door had been slammed today. They feel like they were not going to have a very good time for the next few days.
Once Lena left, there was a small silence in Kris' office.
”Are you just going to let her leave like that?” Becca spoke first. ”A man should chase after his woman.”
