Second Lead Syndrome: A Second Chance Chapter 132 - His bill

Lena got out of work early because she wanted to shower before her daily meeting with Kris. James dropped her off as usual and left. Since thing has been fine with how Kris and Lena were, Keso should be enough for safety precautions. Ben was working today and he clicked the elevator door for Lena as she arrived.

When Lena got to her apartment, she set her stuff down and went for a cool shower. She got out after 10 minutes. She draped her wet hair in a towel. She turned on her laptop. As it boots up, she went back to the bathroom to dry her hair. She ruffled her hair as the hair drying blew her hair all over the place.

Lena combed and it let it down so it can flesh out from the hot air. She put some moisturizer on her face and went back to take a seat. She pulled up a document on her laptop and sent it to her printer.

As the printer was doing its job, Lena walked to her closet to find what she was going to wear. According to the plan that Tye made for them, today they were going to just spend some time dancing. She picked her outfit and put it on. She went to her vanity and tied her hair up.

Lena looked at the clock. She has 10 more minutes. She grabbed the paper from the printer, fold it in fourths, and placed it in her bag. She grabbed her phone and apartment keys. She was now deciding what kind of shoes to wear. She was going to be barefoot anyways so she just slipped on some house slippers.

She got to the elevator and pressed the highest floor. Kris' room was really simple from what she saw last time she was at the Li mansion. Lena was curious what kind house does he have since he lives here alone.

The elevator door opened and she walked to the door. From the outside, it looked normal like hers. She knocked on the door. There was no response. She rang the doorbell. Still no response. Lena texted Kris that she was outside his door. She waited a bit but no reply. She tried to call him but it went directly to voicemail.

"Ugh…" Lena plopped down on the carpeted floor and sat down. She tried to call him again but the result was the same. She waited for another 10 minutes and there was still no sign of Kris.

'Why is this man so late?!' Lena stood up and went back to the elevator. She hit the button to send her to the ground floor. When she got down, Ben greeted her.

"Have you seen Mr. Li come home yet?"

Ben shook his head. "Mr. Li has not returned yet."

Lena sighed. She walked up to the front desk. 'Might as well wait for him here.'

Kris got out of work just on time. Collin had his date so he left early and Keso drove Kris home. However, Kris made Keso stop a block away from the building. He stared at the clock as it ticked by. Lena texted him and called him a few times but he ignored it.

Keso looked at Kris through the back mirror. Did something happen between the two of them? Kris had been acting like poop since lunch…

"Kris… are you going to go yet?"

"Wait a bit more."

"It's already half an hour past the scheduled time. If Miss. Shen gets angry, she can just pull out entirely."

Kris looked up from his phone. "Fine, you can go now."

Keso rolled his eyes. Kris was so bipolar. The parking lot of the building was underground. Keso dropped Kris off the front of the building and then went down to park the car. When Kris entered the building, he heard a loud laughter. He knew exactly whose laugh it was. He saw Lena wearing a beautiful floral dress. Her hair was tied up and it had a bow on it.

Lena was standing but leaned forward to the front desk. She was talking to a young man.

"AHH!! Don't kill me.. Please let me win once!" Lena screamed. Her eyes were glued to the gaming app she was playing. She was just chatting with one of the front desk workers and he showed her a new game. He was on break so they played a few rounds together while Lena waited for Kris.

Lena was never good at games but it was very fun! She did not win any rounds yet but the young man was being really nice to Lena, teaching her how to play and offering some beginner tips.

"Aiya! I died again!" Lena pouted.

"Ahaha… Miss is really pretty but that doesn't mean I will let you win so easily." The young man spoke. He quickly lowered his head when he saw Mr. Li coming inside the building. "Welcome back Mr. Li!"

"Mr. Li!" Lena copied the young man and greeted Kris.

So.. he was back as Mr. Li now huh...Kris continued walking ignoring Lena but she trailed along with him. She made sure she will get to ride the VIP elevator today so she walked very close to him. However, to her dismay, Kris walked up to the normal elevators and pressed the button to go up.

"Is your elevator broken?" She asked.

Kris walked inside the elevator as it opened. "No."

Lena had a confused expression on her face. Why was he riding these then? She walked in with him. The door closed and Kris pressed the top floor. Kris continued to look straight ahead and paid no attention to Lena. Lena grabbed out the paper from her bag and a pen. She wrote something down, using her palm for support.

"What are you writing?"

"Adding a charge to your bill?"

"My bill?"

"Yes, your bill. I will give you a weekly bill of all the charges for all the pain you gave me."

Kris scowled and stared at Lena. "What did you just add?" He looked down at the paper but Lena hid it from him.

"10k for letting me wait and another for delaying more time by not taking the cool elevator."

"What kind of pain are those?!"

"Mental and physical pain! I am growing older every second and I am wasting it waiting on you!"
