Second Lead Syndrome: A Second Chance Chapter 278 - Secret Affair

In the end, Tyler stayed in bed playing mobile games on his phone. He was up late last night working on a few things and today was his day off. After his brother have been trying so hard to climb up in ranks, Tyler had been laid back.

He was in the middle of a game when his doorbell rung. He ignored it until it got spammed. He grunted, tossed away his phone, and got up from the bed.

He walked over to the door and looked out the peephole.

Tyler immediately stepped back in shock and then looked into the peephole one more time.

"I know you're there. I can hear your footsteps." Lena shouted.

Tyler rubbed his eyes and then looked at the peephole for the third time. He saw Lena outside his room, holding a bag of what looked like food.

He was just lying about the dinner date... but she's here not and he won't let that chance go.

He looked pushed his hair back, put his hand over his mouth and breathed. 

'Ugh...' His breath smells. He didn't even brush his teeth yet. And he's s.h.i.+rtless.

"Uh... one minute okay?" Tyler yelled out.

Lena just rolled his eyes. 'Patience Lena... patience.'

One minute turned into 5 minutes before the door was finally open. Lena looked at Tyler. His hair was combed but he was still s.h.i.+rtless.

"Do you go to dinner dates s.h.i.+rtless?" Lena looked at him confusingly.

"I end up s.h.i.+rtless at dinner dates."

"...." Lena walked in and put the food down on the table. "One time only. It's not a date. And I get to keep Mr. Hu until I say I don't need him anymore."

"Ok." Tyler immediately. He already said he would give him to her for free but she is here now, so that would just be a plus. 

He blushed slightly looking at Lena set the table. She said it was not a date... but she event for some candles. "You look pretty...."

Lena stopped setting the table and looked at the foolishly in love boy. "By the way, I was never here. And if Kris hears a word about this, I am definitely not going to look pretty." 

Tyler nodded. "What would you do exactly... if Kris finds out?"

"You are never going to have kids." Lena threatened him.

"What if he hurt you?" Tyler said out of concern. Tyler knew that Kris was an impulsive and dangerous man. Sure he might get beat up or possibly killed by Kris if he found out that Tyler was doing things with Lena... But he can handle a man like Kris. However, Lena can't.

"Kris? He had never h----" Lena stopped. She was going to say 'He had never hurt me before...' But that wasn't true. Their relations.h.i.+p didn't exactly start out pretty and smooth. She cleared her throat. "He will never hurt me."

Tyler walked over to the table and sat on the chair. Lena finished opening the take out food she got and sat on the chair opposite of him. She made sure to also light the candles. Although it was not dark, the candle was just for decoration.

"Why are you even dating him?" Tyler asked, diving down to eat the food first.

"Hmmm? Why? Should I be dating you instead?" Lena ate too.

"You'll only be hurt if you are with him. Kris is not a good man." Tyler expressed his opinion. "And I am not saying this just because I like you, I just think that no woman deserves a man like him. He's not one who can truly love someone. He's too dangerous."

"So am I." Lena glanced at Tyler and then continue eating.

"No, you're a good person."

"And that's why I am not dating you. You only see me because you think I am good. What happens when I am not good? If I am good, why am I sneaking around eating lunch with you for a favor behind my boyfriend's back?"

"And... I like dangerous. It's so s.e.xy." Lena grabbed the napkin and wiped her mouth. 

Tyler continued to eat as he stared at Lena. Why did he have to like a woman who was with someone else? 

"I'll keep trying until you get married," Tyler announced. "You're not truly his until you are legally married. I won't chase after a married woman. Just you wait, you'll see that I am comparable to Kris, and maybe even better. I just haven't been motivated yet, but you... you motivate me."

Lena was the first woman to ever moved his heart. She was blunt, stubborn, cute, and someone who does things the way she likes it. Lena is the one... there is just something so strong and attractive about her. He was not going to let her go without a fight.

"I see." Lena smiled. "Good luck."

"By the way.... how did you even find me?" Tyler asked. He was not staying at the same hotel as last time. And first of all, how did Lena even know he was in City A today?

"I have my ways, and I have my secrets."

Tyler did not know if he should be happy that she worked so hard just to find him... or be concerned.

His thought was interrupted when Lena's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and his smile dropped. It as Kris.

Lena quickly picked up the call.

"Hey babe." She answered.

"What are you doing?"

"Work."

"Where are you?"

"Out. Working."

"..." There was a slight pause before Kris replied back. "Come to the company when you are done."

"Why?"

"Just come." Kris sternly replied.

Before Lena could talk back, she heard Becca's voice.

"Kris, the meeting will be starting soon," Becca spoke and Kris nodded.

"Is that Becca?" Lena asked. "Why is she there?"

"Work." Kris replied. "Make sure you come later."

After that, Kris hung up the call. Lena looked at her phone and then sat back down on the dinner table.

"Becca." Tyler said the name. "Guess he is also with a woman."

"It's not like that." Lena replied.

"I heard she's staying at the Li Mansion."

"So what."

"If you were my woman... I wouldn't let any other woman near me. Just saying."

"I told you, it's not like that, between her and Kris."

"They grew up together though. A bond like that... anything can happen. There are rumors that Kris is also more... open to females since you too. Have you ever considered that he is just using you?"

"..." Lena glared at him. "Shut up and keep eating."

While Lena was finished up her dreadful bribe to get a hold of Milo Hu, Kris was not in a good mood.

He stared at the photographs that were in front of him. It was a few pictures of Lena out picking up food and candles. And then she at Tyler's hotel room, him without a s.h.i.+rt on. What bothered him the most was how casually she went inside his home.

"How did you get these?" Kris asked Becca.

"It was sent by a co-worker. He was going to see Tyler about some stuff but turned back when he saw this. He sent it to me... knowing that I was close to you." Becca lied. It wasn't a co-worker. SHe had Lena followed, just waiting for her to make a mistake so she can put that woman down.

"WHere is Lena now?" Kris asked Collin.

"..." Collin did not want to tell Kris where Lena was at the moment. 

"Secretary Collin, did you not hear me?!"

"Miss. Shen's phone signal is at Marigold Hotel."

Kris was furious. He swiped away the photographs that were in on his desk. They flew to the ground along with other important paperwork. 

Becca's heart was smiling but her face kept her composure. "I am sure Le-- I mean the lady boss has a reason to see Tyler."

"Call her again." Kris told Collin. "I want her in my office by the time the meeting is over."

Kris walked out of his office, slamming the doors behind him. Becca followed him out as Collin stayed behind. He picked up the papers and photographs on the floor. 

'Is this... Lena's and Kris first arguement?' Collin shuddered as he called Lena again.
