Second Lead Syndrome: A Second Chance Chapter 11 - Family Dinner

"No need." Secretary Han stepped back a bit.

"You sure? You won't get a chance like this again. To hug someone as pretty as me."

"I am here for the food, not for hugs."

"Suit yourself." Lena walked in with her parents not noticing how red Secretary Han was already.

'Ahh… dammit. She looks prettier with casual clothes. I shouldn't have said anything.'

Shen Mao treated Secretary Han as his own son. His father worked alongside him for a long time but sadly died because of early illnesses. Throughout the years, Shen Mao had a strong relations.h.i.+p and trust with the Han family. Henry's mother died while giving birth to him, so he was raised without a mother. Shen Mao promised to look after Henry when his father pa.s.sed.

They all sat down in the dining area where the food was already placed and ready for them.

"I heard you came to the company today." Shen Mao started the dinner conversation.

Lena sneaked a glance at Secretary Han to see if he may have told her father about the details of her visit. Seems like he did not. She relaxed a bit. It was not like she was hiding something from her father, she just did not want to make him so anxious and worried about what she was doing.

"I just came to take a glance at the situation. I didn't stay long since you were in a meeting. By the way, how was that anyways."

"Could have been worse. The shareholders are giving me 1 month to find a proper investor into the company that can replace the loss we will have in the next term."

"Do not worry Father, I have already thought about the perfect apology for Mr. Li."

"En… I trust you."

Lena smiled. She was happy that her dad has sincere trusts on her. 'I won't fail you… we won't.'

"The annual charity event is also in a few days. It is not the best timing, but you would be needing to attend that." Shen Milli spoke,

"That's right! I have forgotten…"

"In the past, you have never attended it, but I think this is an opportunity for you to learn and get your image fixed."

"Yes, you are right mother."

"Shall I have Secretary Han to accompany you?" Her dad asked.

"I would not mind if I am needed to accompany you, Miss. Shen." Secretary Han spoke.

Lena looked at Secretary Han. 'He would be a nice man to accompany me but…'

"No need. He is better to be by Father's side. I can find someone else to accompany me. And if not, going alone is perfectly fine."

They chatted a bit more on lighter topics. The environment was so warming, not reflecting any bits the storm that came hit them.

"You guys can leave first, I will send Secretary Han out." Lena smiled as they finished their dinner.

Her parents went up to their room together and she walked Secretary Han out. He parked his car just in the driveway, so it was not a long walk.

"Do you have the report?" Lena asked.

"Yes, of course."

Secretary Han unlocked his car and open the pa.s.senger door. He went into his suitcase and grabbed out a memory disk.

"The report was too large to be printed. I compiled them all here." He knew that if he had printed them and handed them to Lena in paper form, it might be suspicious. He handed it to Lena.

"It is encrypted with your login to the company's server."

"As expected, Secretary Han is very thorough. Well then, good night and thank you for doing this for me."

"Good night then."

Secretary Hand got into his car left. Lena rushed to her room to review the content. She plopped the disk into the laptop and began a.n.a.lyzing the reports.

She doesn't have an Eidetic memory, but she has great skimming skills that she had learned in college in both of her "lives."

Lena stayed up all night, looking through the company report and searching for any information that she can use to her advantage. When the sun rose, it was a signal that she needed to stop. She closed her laptop and went to take a shower to wake her up for the next day.
