Second Lead Syndrome: A Second Chance Chapter 47 - Best Dad In The World

The company was alerted and live today when they all saw that Lena returned from her break. Most workers had changed their views on her knowing that she had a huge success with the latest launch. There were a few who still believed she was leeching off others, considered she was not here during their busiest hours.

Lena strode in with her usual flair and confidence, with two new bodyguards trailing behind her. They were not as handsome has the previous one, but they made her look even more unapproachable.

When Lena arrived at her floor, Diane was already outside of her office.

"Good morning, Miss. Shen."

"Good morning."

Lena walked into her office and Diane followed behind. She sat on her desk, ignoring the thick files that were there.

"How have things been?"

"The sales are rising. And the international designs are also a big hit."

"Mhm…" Lena listened as she started skimming through her own paperwork.

"And, the rings for Miss. Wu and Mr. Yang are completed."

"Ah… I had forgotten about that. Bring them to me."

Diane quickly left and returned with a box containing the rings. Lena slowly opened them. She took each ring out of the boxes and inspected them.

"You can leave. Make sure to contact Miss. Wu that the ring is ready." Lena returned the rings to their boxes and handed them back to Diane.

Although the rings were to her perfection, but they were not hers. Her heart was still silently in pain even though she had told her brain multiple times that she was over him.

Lena buried herself into her work. She has no time for some useless heartache. She worked fast to catch up on her work. When it was noon, the phone call she was waiting for arrived.

"Dad…"

"What are you thinking?!"

"I am sorry, dad. You daughter is being selfish."

Lena could hear her father sigh heavily on the phone. "If you don't your new bodyguards, I can change them. You don't need to bother yourself to go and re-hire James."

"YOUR bodyguards are fine."

"Lili…"

"Dad… you know how picky I am. You specifically chose James before because you saw that he could work well with me. He didn't make a mistake, he obeyed a command. I was the one who made the mistake to send him away from me."

"You are blaming yourself so I feel bad, huh?"

"Is it working?" Lena smiled at her dad's joke. "I appreciate all the care and love you had given me. You had finally started letting me be more independent, and I want you to trust me on this too."

"You are my daughter after all… I will always believe you."

"You are the best dad in the world."

"Lili..?"

"Hmmm, Dad."

"Andy's engagement is coming up soon. You don't have to attend it if you do not want to."

Lena's heart softened. She really had the best dad in the world! "I will go. Andy had always been there for me. I should be there for him too. Some things are just not meant to be."

"If anyone bullies you, you tell your daddy."

"Mhmm!"

Lena hung up the phone. It is true, Lena and Andy were not meant to be. She has to believe that, or else… she won't know what horrible things she could do.

Diane knocked on the door. "Miss. Shen? You have an unscheduled visitor. He said that he is Secretary Collin."

Lena smiled. She had forgotten that Kris Li was still supposed to be apologizing to her. She had been racking her brains on how to get along with him, but has she not already been doing that lately?

"Send him in."
