Chapter 313 - Kriss desk (1/2)
Lena only stayed with Gary for a bit as she caught up on all the news she missed.
Currently, the situation between LUX and SHEN had died down and replaced with all the events that recently happened. But even if that was now buried under the top news, Lena's legal team is still pursuing charges on Mikayla and her company for the fraudulent and copyright charges.
Milo sent Lena a message that everything should be wrapped up by next week.
Lena worked on a few stuff. She also made sure to call her parents. She did not want them to worry too much about her.
It was before midnight when Lena finally got home. She was dropped off. She immediately went to her apartment and got ready to go to bed.
Gary was being moved early the next morning to a new location that he chose this time. A place with his own security and liking even though Lena just helped him bought his apartment not too long ago.
The next day past smoothly. Lena did not hear anything from Kris. No complaints. He was striving really well. Gary was mentally better again as he continued his recovery with Tye again.
Lena visited SHYNE and lunch with her mother.
Because of the recent event, Lena always traveled with James or someone from Kris' team.
”Miss, we are here,” James replied as he parked the car outside a store.
Lena glanced out her window, wondering if she was in the correct place. However, just then, the person she was meeting came outside.
”Lena! You're here! Come, come.”
Lena opened her door and stepped out of the car. ”Stella.”
”Girl, look at you. I felt like Collin grew old these past few days but it looked like you grew younger instead? What is your secret for the bride?” Stella led Lena inside as James followed them.
”You really want to know?” Lena asked and Stella nodded. Lena went close to her ear and whispered to her. ”Just restrain from ***.”
”What?” Stella was surprised. ”I think Collin and I are going to grow old really fast.” She laughed. ”Well, hurry in, we have to get your nails done!”
Stella and Collin don't have a lot of family members. And there were not very rich and famous people, so they wanted their wedding to be small and just a few close people. They are having their wedding in City H where Stella's family lives now.
She was getting her nails done here before leaving for City H tomorrow in preparation for the wedding. Everything was already set up and the weather was going to be nice.
Lena sat down and both of them got their nails done. They both went for dinner after their nails were done.
”So... how are you?” Stella asked Lena after they were done ordering their food.
”Are you asking me as my shrink or as a friend of a friend,” Lena replied.
”Both??”
”Struggling... but at the same time, I feel great. Like the more battles there are, the stronger I am. Many things happened at the same time, but I am not alone at handling them all. I have a strong family who supports me. A crazy man by my side and great friends.”
”Crazy man indeed...” Stella took a sip of her wine. ”Any talk on marriage yet?”
”HAh....no.” Lena also took a sip of her drink. ”We were supposed to look at some houses early this week... but that got pushed back.”
”Houses? Wow... how long did it take for Collin to ask me to come to stay with him? It was like forever. But even so, we didn't live together.”
”Why so?”
”Just preference and work. But life's different when you are married.” Stella's eyes brightened up. ”Ahh... I really have to thank you for that. I don't know how long I could continue to wait for Collin and his stupid bunch of idiots.”
They both laughed and then shortly their food arrived. Stella talked to Lena about how her wedding planning had been. Stella gave Lena a big hug before they both went their separate ways.
Lena was tired, but she had one final stop before going back home.
After a long day of being all over town, she was finally in her apartment. During the time she had ”grounded” Kris, she had not used the speed elevator at all.
