Second Lead Syndrome: A Second Chance Chapter 133 - Speed Elevator

Kris wondered what other miscellaneous fees she has been charging him with. He pressed the stop b.u.t.ton on the elevator.

"Why are we stopping?" Kris clicked a few more b.u.t.tons to override the elevator and now it was going back down. "Why are we going back down?"

Kris ignored Lena until they hit the ground floor again. The door opened and Kris got off. Ben was surprised to see them back down so quick. "Let's go."

"Go where?"

"To ride your cool elevator."

Lena looked at him in disbelief. She was trying to see if Kris was joking or not. She was serious on her charges. "No… I think I will take the money."

Lena pushed the b.u.t.ton for the elevator to close. However, Kris quickly walked in front of her, bent down a bit and carried her over his shoulders.

"Hey, hey, hey!" I am wearing a dress! Ahhh!" She held down the bottom of her dress that flared up a bit out.

Keso took the stairs to the ground floor. He saw Kris carrying Lena over his shoulder and walking toward the speed elevator. He did not know if he should interfere or not. Lena saw Keso standing and watching them.

She stretched her hand out. "Help me.. I am being kidnapped."

Lena wiggled her feet and one pair of her slippers fell out. Kris continued walking to the speed elevator. He pressed the b.u.t.ton and the door opened. He got inside and the door closed quickly afterwards. It was not until the elevator started moving that he finally put Lena down.

"You got the elevator now… that's 10k off."

Lena looked up at Kris and then back to the elevator. She noticed that the elevator was very s.p.a.cious and it only have one floor b.u.t.ton… which was the top floor. She could feel that the elevator was going very fast. Lena smiled. She wanted something like this… she needed this technology at work and at home.

Seeing her cheerfully smiling at the stupidest thing, Kris felt a bit calmer. "You want to see something else?"

"Hmm?" Lena stared back at Kris, wondering what other things there are.

Kris pressed a b.u.t.ton and in a quick motion, the back of the elevator opened the view of the building. Lena turned around and looked at the amazing view. SHYNE was not as tall as the building here, so having a higher view was definitely more amazing. It makes her feel like she was at the top of the world.

"Wahhh.." Lena felt a nice wave of happiness in her heart. "Can you stop the elevator?"

Kris pressed the stop and the elevator stopped. Lena quickly took out her phone and positioned herself for a selfie. Kris silently chuckled. This woman was weird. She winked at the camera and took a selfie of the wonderful back view. After she was done, Kris pressed the b.u.t.ton again for the elevator to continue.

When they reached the top floor, the door opened and Kris stepped out but Lena grabbed his arms. "Again. Each trip is 10k off."

Kris looked at the little kid who was overly excited about an elevator. He rolled his eyes and went back in. He pressed the elevator and it went down.

Lena turned back to face the view and closed her eyes. "Aiya! I can do this all day!"

Kris wondered how high his bill was for her to do this all day. Once they got to the ground floor, Ben was surprised yet again to see these two down here. Lena clasp her hand around Kris' arms and dragged him out of the elevator. "I need to go back and get my slipper."

She went back to the spot where it dropped but it was gone. Ben walked over. "The other man picked it up and he went up the elevator already."

"Oh.. ok. Thanks." Lena replied.

She dragged Kris back to the speed elevator. He was her keycard, so he was important. She held Kris's hand and forced his finger to press the b.u.t.ton. The elevator door opened. "This is fun! It's like you are my captive!"

Kris smiled. Just before, this woman was saying she was being kidnapped. They got into the elevator again and Lena did the same thing. She faced the window and looked out.

"Have you never been on a rollercoaster?" Kris asked.

"No." In both of her lives, she had never gone on a rollercoaster. Shen Qian was too busy to ever go out and have fun or it just costs too much. For Lena, she was too proud to go to those places. It was always crowded and the people annoyed her. She would have to mingle with all type of weirdos. "Have you?"

"No." Kris replied. "I would never do something so childish." In truth, he had no childhood. Not a good one. He spent most of his childhood in a blood bath.

"Oh... so I guess I won't invite you when I go then. It's fine... when Gary is better, I'll take him."

Lena sent a text message to Gary that they should go have fun before they die young. Kris looked over her shoulder and saw the text message. The elevator door opened and Lena hopped off. Keso was outside the door waiting for them. He wondered why it took them forever to reach up here. Did they ride the elevator in slow mode?

Kris walked out after her. "I am your teacher, so I would need to go with you. You are a kid who needs a chaperone."

"That's not good. We would be an odd number. Most rides are even."

Kris scanned his eye and fingerprint on the door and it opened. The door opened and Kris entered first. "Keso can go with us."

"You should invite Hugh. I have not met him yet." Lena entered his penthouse and Keso followed inside.

"I told you already. You'll never meet him."

Lena walked in further inside the penthouse to observe it. She suddenly stopped her footsteps. "This is your place?"

Kris came and stood next to her and look at his empty living room. "Yeah."

"You have... nothing. No furniture at all."

"I only need a bed."

The living area was completely empty except the curtains on the window. The dining room had nothing too. The kitchen only has three stools and Lena only saw three cups.

"You live in the prettiest penthouse and..." Lena shook her head. "Tsk... such a waste of beauty."
