Second Lead Syndrome: A Second Chance Chapter 185 - Order you some dinner

Mayor Bai's trial was private. It was not until later that evening that the public got his sentence. He was charged with multiple offenses, but due to his influence, he paid a hefty amount to not be jailed and instead do community work. He was removed from office and someone else took over for him until re-election.

Lena procrastinated at work, watching the broadcast. And then, she left early to go home. She finally started texting Kris again after the 24-hour break. Lena planned to deliver him dinner for a few more days... and then go on a 72 hours strike and then ask him out on Sunday. By then, he would miss her so much he has to say yes, right?

Lena squealed as she brought her grocery bags into her house. She started cooking the dinner since she will be making on for Collin too. Lena has to make it for someone else too so it does not look so weird that she was just bringing Kris food. It would be too obvious.

This time, she did not give Collin nor Kris a heads up. Last time Collin picked her up, he told her that her security scan was already in place so she could come anything she wanted to.

Lena packed just two boxes, one for Kris and one for Collin. As she walked out, she smiled. Her revenge was done and now she's blossoming her love life, her life has brightened up.

She hummed as she walked to her new car. She missed her red rose car but she went with dark silver this time. It would stand out less than her previous one.

When she arrived at the Li company, Lena made sure her hair was perfect and her face did not have any weird marks on it. She grabbed her bags of food and left the car.

When she arrived down to the base area, she greeted several of the outside workers then walked up to Kris' office. She knocked twice then poked her head in. "Hello!"

Kris popped his head out too to look at Lena. Collin was sitting in front of him, blocking his view of Lena's face. Collin turned around too.

"Lena, you didn't tell me you were coming." Kris spoke.

"I brought you dinner."

"Oh.." Kris replied. He already ate dinner so he was not hungry.

"CEO Li already had dinner already. But I have not." Collin spoke, blowing up Kris' cover.

"Oh..." Lena looked at her two hard work packed food for Kris. "I personally cooked them today though."

At the moment Kris registered her say "personally cooked them," he slapped Collin in the back of the head. "Don't worry about Collin. He doesn't know that I am still hungry. It's a good thing you are here." Kris smiled at Lena, who smiled back.

Lena walked over and placed the food out on Kris' table. "I know you like lots of meat like me but I added more vegetables today. You need to be healthy."

Kris opened his container of food and smiled. "Thanks."

Lena clapped her hands together. "Can I bring you dinner tomorrow too? Same time."

Again? Well, obviously Kris was jumping up and down in his mind. "Yeah."

Lena was not going to stay again. She started to walk out but then turned around. "By the way, who was the woman who testified against Mr. Bai?"

"His wife."

"His WIFE! Wow, such betrayal." Lena waved goodbye to them and closed the door.

She hummed her way back out, thinking about what she was going to cook tomorrow. She needed to feed Kris healthy stuff so he would plump and good to go for her.

Collin was about to take a bite of his food before Kris stole it away from him.

"You don't get to eat this." Kris asserted.

"What?! Yesterday you shared though.."

"Yesterday, she bought them. Today, she cooked them. It's different. You can go have your dinner break."

Although Kris was very full from having his dinner just awhile ago, his stomach could always go for more of Lena.

Again the next day and at the same time, Lena came over to Kris' office and brought him dinner. This time, she made dinner for only him. She made his a good variety of meat dishes and a few side dishes of vegetables. She also brought over warm soup and a homemade sweet tea drink.

As usual, she did not stay over and left after she brought them.

The next day, Lena went to work as normal. It was the start of her 72 hours strike on Kris. She already purchased the perfect outfit to ask the man out and the perfect excuse to lure him. Lena had waited for her entire past original life, whatever the correct term is now, waiting for a man to ask her out, so she was not going to do that again.

They live in a modern growing society where women ask men out and propose to them, so Lena was confident enough.

Lena walked into her office and saw a vase of red and pink roses on her desk. "Diane, why are there flowers in my office?"

"They are from me."

Lena turned around and spotted a handsome man on her doorway. He was cunningly hiding there so she would no see him when she walked in.

"Ming Zhao."

"Hello! Do you like them?"

"They are pretty, but what are you going here?"

"I think two weeks is long enough to start pursuing you now. Did the flowers make you fall in love with me yet?"

Lena shook her head. "No... not even 1%."

Ming walked closer to her. "Well, I will still send you flowers every day." He smiled.

"I don't think that is how it works."

"Ah... but we are still on for our date tomorrow, right? I'll turn that not even 1% to 50% tomorrow. See you then, my fiance." He winked at her and left.

Lena stared at the vase of roses. If Ming brings her flower every day, it won't work on her... but isn't she kind of doing the same thing with Kris.... bringing him food every day. Would that not work on him?

Lena was doubting her plans a bit but then shrugged. No one should be able to deny her food. Her food is not her singing.

That night, Lena left work at her normal time and went home.

On the hand, Kris had not eaten all day, expecting another great dinner from Lena. He waited and waited.

"Do you want me to order you some dinner?" Collin asked.

Kris shook his head and looked at the clock. It was just 7 p.m. "Maybe she's just late today."

A few hours past and Lena did not show up. Collin knocked on the door again. "Do you want me to order you dinner now? She never said yesterday she was coming today again."

Kris threw his entire cup of pens at the door and Collin left. Collin did not know if he was angry because he was hungry or because Lena did not bring him any food today. Collin decided to not tell him about the roses that got delivered to Lena today... he still wants to live.

Kris texted Lena but she did not reply back.

"ARGH!" He slammed his head on his desk a few times. "Why are women so strange!"

His phone got a ding and he quickly looked at it. But it was just Collin sending a text.

Collin: Do you want me to order your dinner yet?

He slammed his head back on his desk.
