Second Lead Syndrome: A Second Chance Chapter 177 - Have fun

Lena looked at Kris and faked a smile. She opened the passenger door and got in. She put on her seatbelt as Kris sat down.

"Are you mad?" Kris asked.

"No."

"You can't be mad. I didn't know Stella was bringing you along."

"Did you know that Stella was my therapist?"

"No...Yes...?" Kris did not know exactly.

"So is it a no or a yes?"

"I did not know exactly. But out of all the doctors that Tye could recommend, it would be her. So I guess, I could have known... but not 100% sure."

"I am not mad. How can I be mad with free food?"

Kris chuckled. Gary was right, Lena gets bribed to easily with food. He drove the car and they chased after the two love birds.

When they got to the restaurant, weirdly enough, Kris and Lena got there first even though the other two drove off way before them. They took their seats and a few minutes afterward, Collin and Stella arrived.

They all ordered their food and chatted about upcoming events.

"So... how did you two meet?" Lena asked them.

Stella cleared her throat. "Well... it's a complicated and simple story actually."

There was an awkward silence before Kris spoke. "Stella was the first woman that we had my physical therapy session with. Tye suggested someone that I was more familiar with so maybe it would lessen the reaction. She was one of my therapists then so I was fairly familiar with her."

Kris stopped and Stella continued. "It didn't go well. I could have lost my life, but I didn't. I spent a few months in recovery." She held Collin's hand and sweetly looked at him.

"Collin and I were not in a relationship then. But he came and visit me almost every day. He brought me flowers, food, watched movies with me and made sure my recovery went well. And the day I was discharged, he finally got the balls to ask me out. And here we are, better than ever. I am so happy that you are successfully helping Kris."

"That's such a sweet story!" Lena cheered. "I didn't know Collin was so successful!"

"Successful?" Stella pinched Collin's cheeks. "He can't even ask me to marry him yet." She laughed.

"Why is that?"

"His bunch of weirdo friends made a bet or manhood promise, whatever you want to call it, that Collin can't get engage until one of them gets a girlfriend."

"Doesn't Lay have one every week?" Lena questioned.

"Those are not love, those are lusts," Stella explained, referring to what they talked about before. She stared at Lena. "So maybe the gods will hear my prayers and make one of those single men get a woman or man."

Stella was hinting that Lena should confess to Kris quick so Stella can get engage. Lena smiled. Their food came and they ate cheerfully together. They talked about the funny things they did when they were young. Obviously, Stella and Lena did most of the talking since the men did not have much of a funny childhood.

After dinner, Kris drove Lena home. Before Lena got out of the elevator, she told Kris that she has a new number.

"I won't see you until you come back from your vacation so have fun!" Lena waved goodnight to the man and went inside her apartment.

She would not be seeing Kris for a few days but that will give her the time to deal with the situation with Eva and Andy.

The next day, Lena went to work. James picked her up. Her lip still had a small cut but she did not care. Work is work. She looked at the finished blueprint designs of the collection SHYNE would be releasing in partnership with LUX in a few months. She approved them and signed them off for their production.

She had a few morning meetings and only go a break when lunch arrived. Her afternoon consisted of calling several people and looking over some projects that just ended or will be completed soon.

As she was leaving work, Andy called her.

"Hello." Lena answered.

"I can't pretend anymore with her." Andy spoke.

Lena would not be able to pretend to love such a disgusting woman for so long too if she was him. "Will Eva be attending the Women's Fashion show on Sunday?"

"She is."

"We can go with your plan that night then."

"What I told you to do before?"

"Yeah. Fight fire with fire. You wanted the real truth and you thought of the plan. I can only help you with it so much." Lena replied.

"Let's do that then."

"Fake a business trip for a while."

"I already used that excuse."

"Well, go for a personal trip then. Tell her that you need a few days to travel far across the ocean and to bring back the perfect romantic wedding gift for her. A gift that comes deep from your heart and your long yearning search for love that you finally found in her." Lena dramatically gave him an excuse. "She's too much of a romantic, she'll take the bait."

Andy chuckled. "Will do then."

Lena left the office with James and he drove her home. Before getting out, she gave James some orders.

"Don't worry about getting a new car for me. Get the stuff ready that we need for Eva." She got out of the car. "And make sure Noah is ready on that day too. He has not been in the field for a while now."

Lena went up to the apartment. Kris changed his number too so Lena texted Keso and Collin about her plans. Before going to bed, she got a text from Kris.

Kris: Goodnight

Lena: ^-^ Have fun on your trip tomorrow.

Kris: It's going to be boring

Lena: I'll text you a lot

Kris: *thumbs up*

Lena: Don't get a tan and gn

Lena was planning to spam Kris with text all day so he would always think about her. Isn't that a great thing? Although she did not want to ruin the mother and son trip too much too.

Lena went to her room, showered, and got ready to go to sleep. After drying her hair, she picked up a dart and threw it at the target. The dart hit the target in the center. Lena had gotten one after she saw one at the safe house mansion. She had practiced her throwing skills and has now perfected it.

Lena was going to have fun her own way for the next few days. She smiled at her perfect hit. "You better watch out, I am coming for ya, Eva Wu."
