Second Lead Syndrome: A Second Chance Chapter 128 - Not Seen Her For A Week

Collin dropped both Lena and Kris off their place and before dropping off James. Lena told James that their usual routine will start tomorrow again.

Lena was exhausted from the ride. She walked into the building while she was texting her mom that she will return to work tomorrow. The situation with her friend was all good now. She walked up to the elevators and pressed the up b.u.t.ton. The door opened and she walked in. As the door was going to close, Kris quickly entered inside too.

Lena looked up to him. He had his own elevator, why is he stealing hers. "Something wrong?"

"No."

Lena stared up at the tall man in confusion but did not ask him any more questions. She pressed her floor and went back to texting her mom. She told her that she will come visit them on Friday. When the elevator stopped at her floor, she stopped texting and got off. She waved to Kris. "See you tomorrow."

He did not respond back and the door closed. Lena turned around and continue walking to her door. What she did not see was that Kris stopped the closing elevator door with his hand. He watched her take out her keys, opened the door, and entered the house before closing the elevator door.

She tossed everything on the floor of her room and just tossed over her soft bed. She missed this place. She only planned to close her eyes a bit but she fell asleep. It was not until her alarm for the next morning woke her up.

Lena dragged her body to the bathroom to start her day. She had many things to catch up since she was gone. Her fridge was empty since she was gone and she had Noah come and take everything out so it did not spoil. She texted James to pick her up early so she could go get some breakfast.

They stopped at a local cafe and Lena got her morning coffee and some baked goods. Today, she was wearing a long black pant and white blouse. Her hair was tied up. As she walked into SHYNE's building, the employee all stared at her. They have not seen her for a week, but they felt like something has changed in their boss. She was wearing her normal clothes, but somehow, she looked for pretty and mature.

"Good Morning everyone." Lena greeted the employees.

"Good morning, Miss. Shen."

When Lena got to her floor, Diane quickly gave her a report of the things she needed to do today and her schedule for the rest of the week. Lena walked into her office and saw a pile of paperwork on her desk. It was not too much though because her mom helped her with most of them.

Shen Milli had to manage both of the companies for a long time so she was used to the heavy load. Lena still had the easy things. SHYNE was not as busy as AURA, whose target was towards the younger generations. Lena sat down on her chair and put her coffee on the table.

"Ah, I forgot something." Diane took out a card from her folder. "This is an invitation to this year's Women Fas.h.i.+on Show."

Lena took the card from Diane. In the past, she had Andy get her access to the fas.h.i.+on show. Her family was not as big to be personally invited to the fas.h.i.+on show. Her mother was not really into those type of things too. Her mom likes traditional clothing more, that is why Lena's grandmother very like Shen Milli as a daughter-in-law.

"The invitation was given to you from Ming Zhao." Diane clarified.

"Ming Zhoa?" Lena opened the card. The fas.h.i.+on show was next weekend. She wondered why Ming Zhao gave her an invitation. Was it because he put her in the cage with the b.a.s.t.a.r.d? Lena smiled. "Thanks. You can leave now."

Lena put the invitation on her drawer. She picked up the first file from the pile, and it was the project on Eva and Andy's wedding rings. It looked like they were still going to go ahead with their wedding soon. Lena told Kris that it did not matter if they got married or not, but if she can delay the wedding, it will make Eva even more wary of her relations.h.i.+p with Andy.

Lena had already finished the designs for their rings. She sent them to the production already, making sure their best craftsman was working on them. The phone buzzed in and it was Diane.

"Miss. Shen, a man said he has something to deliver to you. He said he works for CEO Li, his name is Collin."

Collin? "Send him in."

After a few minutes, her office doors opened and Collin walked in. "Good morning, Miss. Shen."

"Good morning, Secretary Collin."

Collin was holding a box. "This is the item that CEO Li asked me to deliver to you."

Lena took the box and opened it. It was the antidope. There were about 10 syringes of them. Lena did not think Kris would deliver them so soon for her.

"There is also a note. I did not read it, but Mr. Li personally wrote it this morning."

Lena say the note sticking to the top of the box. "Thanks."

Collin took his leave. Lena opened the note and read it.

"Always have one with you. Especially if you are going to see Mike Zhao tomorrow."

Lena placed the card down. 'How does he know? Is he spying on me?' Lena looked around her room as if there was another eye always looking at her.

Kris was correct though, it would be nice to have one with her. If she is going to play risky, then she also need to make sure she can protect herself. If she was going to dive into the dragon's den, she can't have James with her 24/7.
