Chapter 319 - Why you need me (1/2)

Lena, Gary, and James had to stop at the hotel to drop off their luggage and then Lena wanted to go look at an artwork gallery. It was just something she recently found out and since she was flying out to City H anyways, it would be something to kill while the wedding arrives.

”So.... when are you going to tell him about it?” Gary asked.

He was already caught up with everything he missed when they were on the plane. Lena told him to relax and look at the content when he has time. Gary knew that Lena was extra worried about him now, but honestly, he's fine. If it was anything he needed, it was to get back to his normal routine.

”After the wedding,” Lena replied.

”Is that for him... or for you?”

”Both. If I told him right now, how much do you want to bet that he will lock me in a room and go do some mo jo sh*t?”

”....” Gary turned around and looked out the window.

With Lena, Kris is a saint... but even so, a person cannot run and hide from their past demons.

”I contacted my father.” Gary replied. ”Tye also thought that it would be a good thing to do to get some major sources of my stress removed.”

”Oh, and how did that go?” Lena was curious.

”The person you shot didn't die.” Gary assured her but Lena already knew that. If the man died.. then he was not worth to be considered a son of Chen Xu.

The car stopped as James parked the car. He got out first, tossing the keys to the valet and went to the trunk to take out the luggage.

”Whatever you talked about, I will side with you.” Lena smiled.

”Even if my father wants to go against the Li family?” Gary asked.

”Does he?”

”No. But that's not the point.”

”Then sure. I'll be the first one to shoot Kris for you.” Lena teased him.

”You're not a very sharpshooter.”

”Says the person who can't even hold a gun. And for your information, I shot that man with a clean shot.” Lena opened the door and got out. ”But no really, I wouldn't shoot Kris for you but you get the point.”

Gary chuckled. ”Yes.. I know.”

They all carried their own luggage to their hotel rooms. James and Gary had adjourning rooms while Lena's room was adjourned with Kris. James and Gary were on a different floor so they separated at the elevator.

Since Kris decided to tag along with Lena, that saved James from spending a boring time looking at photos. He could so a stakeout... but pretending to like the artwork is a whole new category of looking.

When Lena entered her room, it was very large and clean. She set down her luggage and unpacked it. She got her dress out and hung it in the closet.

After she was done, she headed over to the door that connected her room to Kris's. She opened it to see if Kris had already opened his door. As expected, he did.

As she walked in, Lena could hear the shower running.

Lena knocked on the bathroom door, signaling Kris that it was her. She then hopped onto his bed and turned on the television, waiting for him to be done.

After a few minutes, Kris came out of the bathroom. He didn't even bother to cover himself as he quickly dried his hair with a towel.

Lena gave him a glance and then went back to watch the television.
