Chapter 283 - Mings Girlfriend (1/2)
After the whole fashion walk was done, there was a small after-party with light snacks before the event officially ended.
The Zhao family already left first, and Madam Zhao had told Lena the location of their dinner. Lena sent Angel off before heading out herself. However, as she exited, she was flooded with reporters.
”Miss. Shen, is it true that a portion of your designs is copies of last week's fashion jewelry release?”
”What do you have to say about copying other people's designs?”
”Why did you continue to release the designs?”
”Are you responsible for the damage to the partnership?”
”What do your partners have to save about SHYNE duping other artists' designs?”
James and additional event security blocked the reporters as Lena continue to walk past them and into the car. She did not say one word nor did the other people.
When she got inside the car, she immediately called Kris. He didn't answer so she called him again. When she called him the third time, it was not Kris that picked up the call.
”Miss. Shen?”
”That's indeed my name.... but shouldn't you be calling me Lady boss, Becca?”
”Ah, forgive me, Lady boss. It's just hard for me to remember such a temporary name.”
”Where is Kris?”
”Kris? He's busy.”
”Busy with what?” Lena asked.
Becca walked over to the bathroom door and knocked on it.
”Kris? Do you want me to bring the clothes inside or should I just leave them out here?” Becca spoke loudly, obviously making sure Lena heard it.
”Just leave it out there. I'll be done and out soon.” Kris replied to which Lena heard it softly.
Before Becca could make another comment, the phone call got disconnected.
When Kris got out of the bathroom, he was in a bathrobe. He was drying his hair with a towel.
”Where's Collin?” Kris asked.
”Oh, he's getting your clothes right now.”
”Then why did you even ask me where to put the clothes if you don't have it. Tsk...” Kris snickered. ”Why are you even here in the first place?”
”Oh, CEO Huang wanted me to make sure you were alright. We already fired the waitress that served you the drink.”
”That old man worries too much. It's just a drink.”
”In the past, you would have immediately removed the waitress. She stained such an expensive suit of yours.” Becca pointed out.
”In the past, you wouldn't be so bold to just walk into my room like this.” Kris glared at her. ”Get out. Tell CEO Huang I am fine and I will see him at dinner.”
Becca nodded and then left the room. Kris walked over to the table where he left his cellphone. He was sure he heard Lena's ringtone calling him. When he checked, there were no logs but he was sure Becca probably did something.
He grabbed his phone and immediately called Lena, however, it rang but no one picked up. He called her again.

”Are you going to pick that up?” James spoke from the driver's seat, seeing Lena casually ignoring the phonecall and touching up on her makeup.
”Not important.”
James knew it was Kris' ringtone. Did those two get into a fight?
James drove into the restaurant and parked. He got out and opened the door for Lena. Lena shut off her phone and got out of the car.
”You don't need to pick me up after I am done. I'll have someone drop me off.”
James nodded.
Lena walked inside the restaurant and the waitress immediately recognized Lena. She greeted Lena and took Lena to the private room that the Zhao reserved.
When the door opened, Lena got inside. She spotted that CEO Zhao, Madam Zhao, Ming and Mike was also there.
It's been a while since she saw that bastard.
”Hello.” Lena greeted them.
Madam Zhao immediately signaled Lena to sit next to her.
After a few minutes, the food arrived and everyone casually chatted and ate.
”It's been years since I saw my wife walk down the walk, she said it was your idea.” Zhao Lin spoke.
”Madam Zhao suggested that I walk, but I felt that she was more suitable and experienced,” Lena replied.
