Second Lead Syndrome: A Second Chance Chapter 267 - Good Cousin

Lena was stuck in traffic for a bit, but she finally arrived at the Casino. She actually rushed here, so she did not know where to go. Luckily, there was someone already waiting outside for Lena and led her to where Kris was.

When Lena entered the room, she immediately spotted her handsome man first but quickly turned her eyes away to Kevin instead, who was sitting on the sofa.

Lena walked over to him and swung her bag to his head.

"AH! Why are you hitting me? My mom doesn't even hit me." Kevin shouted.

"Yeah? It's because Auntie loves you too much that's why I can hit you. Seems like you don't love her back at all!" Lena swung her bag one more time. "You need a good beating, be glad I am doing it and not him." Lena pointed at Kris, who was just casually sitting, not interfering with whatever his girl was doing.

"I don't even know him. Why are you always hanging around guys... don't you already have a boyfriend?"

"We're not here to talk about my boyfriend, we are because of you. Now tell me, why are you here doing illegal businesses?"

Kevin looked up at Lena and so did Kris. Kris felt like Lena was also scolding him about illegal businesses.

"It's nothing..." Kevin replied.

"Nothing?! Well, why don't we just put you where your friends are and your parents can come to pick you up at the police station huh?"

"They're not my friends."

"C'mon Kevin. This isn't you. Tell me what is going on?"

"...." Kevin did not reply back instantly. He just looked at Lena and then at Kris. "It's private."

"Don't look at him, look at me. He is my boyfriend, he can stay here."

Kevin went back at looked at Kris anyways... Lena just called him a boyfriend. Of course... The Li family owned this Casino. He should have known when the people called him boss.

On the other hand, Kris smiled. He liked it a lot when Lena claim him so openly.

"Do you owe people money? Are you in trouble? Are you getting a bully?"

"..." Kevin avoided eye contact with Lena.

Lena sighed and sat down next to him. "You're so smart... got into a good college. You know.... you remind me of someone."

"Gary." Kevin answered.

"Yeah. Brain smart but not so street smart. Getting bully for his brains."

"Yeah... well, he's dead."

"That's because he keeps getting into trouble and doing stupid stuff. Now, what did you do? You know I will find out anyway, so might as well come clean right now."

Kevin buckled up and told Lena why he was mixed up with these people and why he was here. Lena listened and after he was done, she gave him a soft pinch to his cheeks.

"Ahhh stop it. It's embarra.s.sing." Keven slapped away Lena's hand.

"I am going to treat you like a kid until you are not one anymore. Now, I will take care of the money and your friend, so I better not be hearing from you skipping out on your family again. You hear me?"

"Yeah."

"The triplets look up to you, so be a good brother for them. You know how much work it was to make them nap?" Actually, it was no work at all but Lena wanted Kevin to feel some pressure.

"Sorry. Are you going to tell my parents?" Kevin asked.

"No. But..." Lena added. "You are going to work for Kris until you pay off whatever money you cheated from him when you start cla.s.ses here."

"Oh what?! But it's like---"

"No buts. He's going to work your *ss off so you know where the real money comes from."

"Fine.... I like you better when you were a spoiled cheeky brat." Kevin commented.

"Well, your spoil cheeky bratty cousin will not bail you out and would have gone crying to grandpa that you go in trouble. Plus, she wouldn't be dating the most handsome man in the world that just didn't turn you into the police."

Lena told him to get his stuff and meet her outside. Kevin exited the room to go get his bag that was left when he and the others were taken to the back room.

Lena watched as he left and sighed. Kris walked over and hugged her from behind.

"You're a good cousin." Kris kissed her neck.

"You think I was too harsh? or should I have hit him a bit harder?"

"Hmmm, I don't know. Only people I scold are my workers... and they get no mercy. I don't think that applies to this situation."

Lena laughed and turned around. She wrapped her hands on his neck and pulled him in for a kiss.

"Thanks... for calling me."

"Do I get a present? I worked so hard today."

"Mhmm...." Lena captured his lips again. This time she made sure it was sweet and long. She opened her mouth as she kissed his lips, on and off.

By the time they both parted, they were breathless and just stared into each other's eyes. Kris put his thumb on Lena's cheeks and caressed it.

"You like kids?" Lena asked.

"Kids? Like the little thing that cries a lot or has a ridiculous amount of energy?"

Lena laughed. "Yeah, those."

"I don't know," Kris answered. "I have not been around other kids to make an opinion on them. Only stories from other people. Can I just say I only like our kids?"

"Well, you're going to like the triplets. Just bring some candy with you."

"Yes... good idea. Bribe children with candy the same way their cousin got bride with chocolate to kiss someone else."

"Hey, hey. It was worth it... at the time ok? The chocolate was really rich and creamy."

"I know." Kris pecked Lena on the lips. "You drive safe home, I have some work to finish up here. And I'll see you tomorrow. You'll be dressed up and I'll be ready to stab people's eyes who will stare at you."

Lena told Kris to not work too late and then she left. Kevin was already outside waiting for her. Lena texted her mom if they had dinner yet. Shen Milli said they did not.

Lena replied that she went to pick up Kevin so they would be home soon. On the ride back home, Lena made sure that Kevin had a good cover story. She made sure not to scold him too much.
