Second Lead Syndrome: A Second Chance Chapter 140 - Shooting

The next day, Lena woke up early to go back to the shooting range. Today, they would start shooting. She had her hair tied up, wore long pants and a nice comfortable shirt. James already prepared the rest of the materials for her.

James was outside, waiting for Lena. When she parked her car, she quickly got out and followed James to the shooting area. James chose a good starter gun for Lena.

He gave Lena the gun. "Before you shoot, your posture is very important. The recoil may be intense for you for the first few times, but you will get used to it."

James stepped back and pulled out a long stick. Lena knew then that she was going to get smack if she did something wrong.

"You try. I will tell you how your posture is."

Lena nodded. She put on her eyeglasses. She did not put on her ear protection yet so she can hear James. There was no one else in their shooting range so for now, it was fine not to wear them. She stared at target and raised her arm. She straightens her back like what Kris told her to do yesterday. James was amazed to see such a good first try.

He tapped her shoulders with the long stick. "Relax a bit. You don't have to be too aggressive. But don't go to weak, or you will falter when you shoot."

He grabbed his gun and went to the stall next to Lena. "Put on your ear protection." Lena did as she was told. "Watch me."

He slowly raised his arm, looked straight at the target and shot at it. He got a perfect hole to the head of the picture target of a human. After he took the shot, he took off his ear protection and Lena did so too.

"You see that. Just aim, shoot, and follow-through. However, you won't be shooting just yet." He walked over to Lena. "I will show you how to pull the trigger properly. It looks easy but there is a proper way to pull a trigger. You don't want to release it too quickly or hold it too long."

James changed his gun to something else. The new one was unloaded. "Come close and look at how I pull the trigger."

Lena moved closer so she can see his finger on the trigger. James pulled it several times until Lena could follow the general motion.

"You try now." He handed the gun to Lena. Lena followed his motion. She can feel that her fingers get tired after a lot of tries.

"That's good. Now you can shoot. Watch me again." They both put their ear protection back on. James grabbed his original gun and stood again. James took three shots at the target. He looked back at Lena and nodded at her.

Lena took the nod as the signal for her to try now. She grabbed her gun that was loaded. She made sure that the safety was off. Lena took a deep breath. She got back into her posture. She paused before she took a shot at the target.

She did to falter back that much but it was an intense recoil on her hand. She looked at the target and she did not even hit it.

"Don't worry about the aim yet. Shoot a few times so you get used to the recoil." James yelled so she could hear her over the ear protection.

Lena shot at the target again and again. She tried to get it to hit the target and adjust per position to better balance her body to withstand the recoil from the gun.

After she emptied the gun, she stopped. She took off her ear protection. "How was it?"

"Pretty good. How do you feel?"

"Fine."

"Shoot another round and we'll take a break."

James told her how to reload her gun. They tried that a few times and then Lena went for another round of shooting. After the small break, James taught her how to aim. Even though Lena followed his instructions, she did not do so well. James told her that they will practice more.

After a good first day, Lena went home in the afternoon. She went back to her apartment to view the videos on the Yang family. She popped some popcorn and sat in the living room to watch the drama she missed.

Noah already made the video nice for her so she did not need to scan through useless hours of nothing. She played the video. Although there was no voice, she could guess what was mostly happening.

It looked like Andy showed her about the changes that Lena made on his rings, where he did not want 5 diamonds. Looks like she did not go well with that, knowing that it would not match hers. They argued about more stuff.

Eva walked out of the room and was angry. Andy, however, sat back on his chair and started working.

Lena was quite sad... there was no slapping or throwing things. She did not finish her popcorn. She sat back and watched an episode of a drama just to finish her popcorn. After that hour break, she got up to go get her stuff ready for tomorrow.

She smiled at her tools. Tomorrow will be fun!

The next day, Lena went to work as usual. Because she had her meeting with Mike Zhao later at the night, she dressed up normal for work. The production for Eva's and Andy's rings will be done on Wednesday. Lena did not want to notify them, she wanted to deliver them personally to Eva.

Lena got off work early so she could go get extra pretty for the night. She came home and hop into the shower. She dried her hair and curled it nicely. She put a somewhat heavy make-up. For her dress tonight, she wore a wine red, off-the-shoulder dress. The bottom flared down, just a few centimeters above her knees.

She put on a 4-inch, black high heels. She fancied the rest of herself with jewelry. Lena got a nice pendant on her neck, two rings on her right hand, and a pair of ruby earrings. She did not forget an alluring perfume on herself before going down to the parking lot.

Lena would be driving herself to meet up with Mike, but James should be there already to set things up. With her sexy get-up, she matched perfectly with her Rose.

She arrived at the different five-star restaurant than the one they had met before. This one had a hotel above it. The hotel and restaurant were also owned by the Zhao family. Of course, Lena already did her research ahead and knew that Mike Zhao already booked a room for them.

James already went in to clear the room. Knowing how dirty the man played, he must have cameras set up in the room.

Lena drove her car upfront and got out. She tossed the keys to the young valet boy. She gave him a nice tip, making sure he takes good care of her car. She walked in and went to the restaurant front area. They immediately noticed Lena as she walked closer to them and they quickly came to greet her.

"Miss. Shen, Mr. Zhao is already waiting for you."

Lena smiled at the young waitress. "Ok."

The waitress led Lena to a small private outdoor dining area. Lena could see that Mike Zhao was dressed very well and already sipping on some wine as he waited for her. He stood up when he saw Lena coming his way.

"Lena!"

Lena walked up to him and greeted him intimiately. She came close up to him, giving him a slight western greeting by kissing the man slightly on his cheeks.

"I hope I did not make you wait too long." She smiled.

"No. Not at all. You look..." He observed Lena from top to bottom and back up. "very stunning tonight."

Lena gave him a slight pushed on his shoulder. "Oh don't you worry, I'll look more stunning later on."

The man's eye glistened from that note. He pulled out the chair for Lena to sit on then went back to his own seat.
