Second Lead Syndrome: A Second Chance Chapter 23 - Her First Day

The next morning, Lena woke up with huge bruises on her leg. Although there was less pain than she had yesterday, she wore pants today just to make sure no one saw the marks.

Her father would turn the world upside down if he knew what happened. Luckily, Aunt Mary seem to not have said anything about what happened yesterday.

Today, she also did not take her Rose, and instead had someone drive her. Her Father had a.s.sign Lena a driver and bodyguard since she is fully entering the ugly world of business.

Her mother arrange a secretary for her which would meet her at the company today.

Today was her first day at SHYNE. She planned to arrive early but instead spent too much time on her looks this morning. By the time she arrived, it was already 9 am.

She walked into the building and everyone stopped abit and stare at her. She was wearing a professional woman attire. She was not in her bring colors nor wearing a dress like she usually would. Her hair was also tied up.

Everyone was stunned abit at Lena's new look. She looked very mature, resembling much of her mother.

They greeted her as she walked to the elevator with her bodyguard with her. She arrived to her office and was greeted by a young lady.

"h.e.l.lo Miss. Shen. I am Diane, your personal a.s.sistant."

Lena shook her hands. Diane had a strong handshake. Many people say that you can tell a lot from a person how they shake your hand.

"Nice to meet you. This here ---" Lena turned to her bodyguard. "Oh my… I didn't even get your name today."

The man showed no emotions. "James." He bowed abit.

"Ah.. James. He's my bodyguard. I a.s.sume my Father mentioned about this?"

"Yes, Miss. We have his area set up."

James went into his work area. His area included several cctv and all access to the building security information.

Lena walked into her office. She stopped and looked around the room a bit. Everything was very simple. She would need to redecorate it later.

She sat down on her desk and Diane hand her a few files.

"These are several a.s.signment that Mrs. Milli pa.s.sed over to you. She said that for the first term, your projects will be chosen by her. Based on your progress, the next term you can choose your own."

"I understand. I can look at them myself, you can leave."

Diane left and Lena sighs at the work in front of her. She has not even started, and she was already bored. Did she get serious too quick? Should she have more fun and spoil before she spent the rest of her life like this?

Lena grabbed the first file. It was the information on the SHYNE spring jewelry opening ceremony. She was planned this event well so she did not spend much time looking at it.

Next, it was a project regarding s.h.i.+pments of some pink diamond with their supplier.

Finally, Lena opened the third file and smiled.

She should have a.s.sumed that her mother would throw something challenging her way.

The third project was designing the wedding rings for Eva and Andy's engagement. Lena knew right away that this was to test her between personal and business emotions.

Lena buzzed for Diane.

"Yes, Miss. Shen?"

"Call Eva Wu and make an appointment for tomorrow so we can discuss her designs for the rings."

"Aright."

Lena sat down and started putting in some jewelry designs. Because her thoughts are mixed of hers and the old Lena, she took advantage of "stealing" some designs from her world mixing it into Lena's talent for art.

Although drawing was never her strong points in being a Graphic Designer, somehow, she enjoyed doing this. Ideas just kept flowing into her mind one after another. She was so focused on her work that she forgot about lunch.
