Second Lead Syndrome: A Second Chance Chapter 131 - Changing

Lena just arrived back at her office. Once there, she quickly removed her heels. She walked to a pretty large dresser in her office. She took out a pair of soft slippers and the extra set of clothing she has there. She made sure her door was already locked before when she came in. Lena also made sure the camera in her room was not blinking, showing that it was off so she was cleared to change.

She did not have any meetings for the rest of the day so she wanted to change to relax for the rest of the day. She tried to loosen the strap at her back to remove the dress. She bent her arm back, trying to find the clasp.

Her cell phone rang and she looked at the caller ID. It was a private number. Lena did not pick it up. It rung again with the same number but Lena denied it. It rung another time, but this time "Kris" popped up.

Lena answered it. "Heyo!"

"Are you back at your office?"

"Yeah. Just got back."

"How was your lunch?"

"So, so. Had to play a fine lady so I didn't order meat." Lena placed the phone on the table with the speaker on. She went back to try to loosen the clasp. "How was your lunch?"

"Good." Kris looked at his untouched plate of food. It was a perfectly cooked juicy piece of steak. He was just poking at it with his fork. He slammed the fork into the center of the meat. "Do you always let a man touch you so easily?"

"No." Lena replied right away. "Well… it depends. Is he hot?" There was no answer on the phone and then Lena realized what Kris was talking about. "Wait… were you watching me?"

"No. I had a lunch meeting at the same restaurant. Just saw him walk you out." He spoke softly over the phone. It was really a coincidence that he saw Lena today. He knew that she was meeting with Mike Zhao today but not at this place. Kris wanted to treat Collin to something nice today since that had been eating so many Tye's homecooked foods for the past week.

"Oh… don't worry. I just have to meet him one more time then I'll never see him again."

"One more time?" Kris raised his voice.

"Yeah...by the way… I know it's illegal but we are already doing illegal stuff. But, do you think Doctor Tye can access Eva's medical records for me?"

"He can…. What are you planning to do with it?"

"Gut feeling."

"...." Kris removed the fork from his steak. He picked up the steak knife and started stabbing the steak in a rhythm.

"Ugh.. why is this so hard."

Kris can hear Lena grumbling over the phone. "What are you doing?"

"Changing."

"One minute." Lena muted her mic and finished changing. She finally got the dress off and put on her clothes. "Ok. Back." There was no response. Lena checked her phone to see if her mic was still off. "Hello?"

"I am here. I have to go through."

"Ok. See you tonight!" Lena hung up the phone first.

After hearing the silence from the phone, Kris closed his cell phone. He tossed the knife on the table. "Let's go."

Collin just came back from using the restroom and was about to sit down. They are going already? He was so happy that Kris was taking him to go eat such a good restaurant. He looked at his plate of delicious food and Kris' plate of… massacred food.

Kris stood up and placed his napkin on the table. "You're paying. I did not like the food here."

Collin looked at the table again at the expensive untouched food there. The bottle of wine was not even opened yet. Collin called for the waitress. "Pack them for to go."

Collin came back to the car with the packed food. Since he paid for it, he's going to share them with his girlfriend tonight. His schedule has been more open since Kris needed to go home on time so Lena and he can have their therapy session. By then, Keso would be in charge of Kris.

He carefully placed them in the passenger seat. Kris was talking on the phone. When he got to the driver's seat, Kris was already off the phone.

"Who was it?" Collin asked as he started the car and drove it back to the company.

"Hugh. Just telling the man to take control of his side of things or else I will."

Collin shuddered. If Kris gets involved, he likes using force and doing things quicker than most. They quickly got back to the company. When they arrived, Keso was outside waiting for Kris already. Keso opened the door for Kris as he got out.

"Something bad happened." Keso told Kris.

Kris looked at Keso and then continued to walk into the company. The three of them got into the VIP elevator. "What is it?"

"We got a report from the mole. He said that both the Yang and the Bai family knows about Agato land and its condition. They will be playing the same tricks on us. They want us to bid high and then they will pull out last minute so we lose."

"Tsk…" Kris stepped out of the elevator and went to his office. He was calm as he sat on his chair.

"What would you like me to do?"

Kris turned his chair to look out the window. He rubbed his chin as he try to improvised the plan. "Who currently have the highest bid right now?"

"That would be the Zhao family."

"Heh… perfect. Leak the information on the land deal. Make sure it out by tomorrow morning."

"Are you sure? That will damage the Zhao family."

"I am sure. It's the Zhao family, this won't harm us." Kris turned his chair back to the front. "And one more thing, have Lay cause more trouble to the Yang family."

"Very well." Keso head out of the room to go do what he was assigned.

"Are you going to give a heads up?" Collin asked after Keso left.

"No. He deserves what is coming his way."
