Chapter 316 - Mr. Unknown (2/2)

Unknown: If I want you dead, you would already be dead.

Unknown: Cafe, across the street. You can bring James along.

Lena got down to the ground floor and spotted James already out front waiting for her. Lena continued walking to the car. She stopped and looked at the cafe across the street.

A part of her was telling her something was off... but another part of her was saying she needed to meet this... person.

Lena opened the passenger door and lowered her head.

”I need to go meet someone before we go.” Lena told James. ”And bring your gun.”

James nodded. As Lena closed the door, he drove the car to a parking spot and parked there. He stepped out of the car and followed Lena as she heads toward the crosswalk.

”Who are you meeting with?” James asked.

”Unknown.” Lena replied.

Lena crossed the street and walked inside the cafe. As she entered the store, she looked to see if there was someone weird. But instead, one of the workers walked up to Lena.

”Miss. Shen?” She spoke.

”Yes, that is me.”

”Right this way, to our private meeting rooms.” The worker led Lena to a different side of the cafe. James followed closely. ”Your meeting partner ordered you a cappuccino and some croissants, is there anything else you would like to order?”

”No, I am good.” Lena replied.

The worker nodded and then left.

Lena looked at the door and then James before opening it. James was on high alert, but when the door opened, he.... was confused.

RIght when Lena opened the door, there was a young man who was casually drinking his ice coffee. On the other hand, there was an older man acting like a kid and poking the other man.

”Uh... I am in the correct room right?” Lena asked.

The older man stopped joking around and instantly sat up on his seat. He nudged the younger man who ignored Lena as he was looking at a text from his phone. Without looking up, the young man replied, ”Yes. Take a seat, Lena.”

Lena did one of her ”okay then” smile and sat across from them. James also took a seat next to Lena.

The young man did not say another word as his eyes were stuck on his phone. Somehow, this unemotional reaction from this man kind of reminded of her.... Kris, the very first encounters they have.

”I don't have all day....” Lena commented.

”Oh right.” The man finally looked up and get a good look at Lena. ”You're much more pretty up close.” He smiled.

Lena was caught off guard... not because the smile was genuine but she didn't think such personality was very familiar.

”Have we met before?” Lena asked.

”I don't believe so.” The man put down his ice coffee.

”Well then, Lena Shen, as you probably already know.” Lena stuck her hand out for a shake.

The young man looked at Lena's hand and then just look back at Lena, without taking it. Seeing that Lena was left hanging, the older man grabbed Lena's hand and shook it.

”Hello! I am Dr. Aid--Who, I mean. Dr. Who.” The older man replied.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door and the waiter brought in Lena's drink and some baked goods.

After she left, Lena grabbed a muffin and passed it to James. She grabbed a croissant for herself but did not eat it immediately.

”It's not poison. As I mentioned before, if I wanted to kill you, you would already be dead.” The young man spoke and then grabbed a croissant for himself and took a bite of it.
