Second Lead Syndrome: A Second Chance Chapter 200 - Proposals

Kris stared at his cellphone that Lena abruptly hung up on him. 'She was staring at someone? A man too... which handsome man dare compare himself to me?!'

Kris quickly pushed his work aside and accessed his laptop. He traced the signal on Lena's phone to locate where she was. He immediately hacked into the weak security system of the restaurant and scanned all the cameras that were near bathrooms.

He spotted his sweet tigress just the moment when Tyler pulled her to him, as she crashed into him. There was no audio and he could not make out the full conversation but he could read the end of Tyler's lips.

At that moment, Kris saw Lena pulled off and twisted Tyler's arm. She made sure to step on his feet really hard before leaving the man. Kris spotted Tyler's reaction and what he said afterward when Lena left.

"That Tyler sc**bag. You're right that she is the one, but only one for me."

Kris exited out of the security on the restaurant and called Collin in. Collin knocked on the door and entered.

"Yes, CEO Li?"

"Don't we have a proposal from the Huang company?"

"Yes. It was a proposal collaboration for the new club that will be built in City D. They have until the end of next month to deliver the complete proposal."

"Who is currently lead on that proposal from their side?"

Collin quickly searched up the information on his tablet. "It would be the Tyler Huang, the first son of CEO Huang."

"Inform the CEO that the Li group will only look at their completed proposal if the second son was leading it. And move up the final deadline to be in two weeks."

"The second son? But haven't you been supporting Tyler Huang as the next CEO?"

"No." Kris went back and looked at his paperwork. "I want to get rid of him."

Collin was confused. He was pretty sure Kris was rooting for the first son to be the next CEO of Huang company. Why the sudden change? He turned around and left Kris' office. He needed to immediately inform the other side about the change in terms of their proposal.

Collin just sat down for a few minutes and Kris buzzed him again. He got up from his seat and entered the office again.

"Yes?"

"I forgot another thing." Kris demanded. "Also make sure to blacklist Tyler Huang and his friends from all of our casinos and clubs."

"Not just City A? Do you want all of our casinos and clubs?" Collin confirmed.

"All."

"Very well."

"And Collin." Kris looked up to him. Kris called him by his name, so it meant that Kris was going to say something personal. "Take the rest of the day off or even the rest of the week. I want you to propose to Stella tonight."

Collin dropped his mouth. "AH! Tonight?!" He got flustered. "Isn't that a bit too... quick?"

"What do you mean? She has been waiting for the damn ring for a while now."

"But... I don't think... I.." Collin was quite nervous. Even though he had prepared for this day for a long time now, it is still a big thing. You can never be 100% prepared for a marriage proposal.

"Just do it." Kris instructed. "If you don't do it tonight then make sure to be busy for the rest of the year."

Collin swallowed... It is still just the middle of the year. "Ok...."

"Oh and you got her the big ring right?" Kris asked.

"Yes."

Kris smiled. "Good."

"Kris, thanks for the support."

"Support? I am not supporting you. I want you to do it for me so when Lena sees her tomorrow, she'll see Stella's big ring and want one too!"

Collin rolled his eyes... and here he thought his buddy was giving him a push of motivation and courage to get on with the engagement. It was all for Kris' own good. "You just dated... for like what? Three days... and you already want to put a ring on her?"

"So... it's just a ring. You can be engaged for a long time before you get married." Kris replied. He was going to wait with going public or even anything after that, but it seems like it was true that more people will swarm over non-single ladies than when they are single.

"Yeah... that's what you think but after she gets the ring, she will start demanding for babies!" Collin suddenly raised his voice as the thought about Stella and him having a child.

"I don't care. Are you saying I will be a bad dad?" Kris asked.

"No... but what if you have a daughter?"

Kris looked up. He has not thought about that... what would happen then? He smiled. "I want a baby."

Collin pointed at Kris. "Kris! You can't. You've only been dating for just a few days! You can't jump the gun!" Collin used his dad tone to advise Kris.

Kris grinned even wider. He got up from his head and started to walk out. Wouldn't his daughter with Lena just look like a mini Lena? He can hug two instead of one! He had never thought about that! It would be a big and easy accomplishment.

"Where are you going?" Collin interrogated.

"To do research."

"Research? You don't need to do research. You spent a good ---" Collin stopped himself. It wasn't a good month at all for Kris that year. Collin had almost brought up a bad memory for Kris.

Kris stared at Collin. Collin could see a deep shade of darkness from Kris's eyes.

Kris blinked but then smiled. "What were you thinking? Of course, I was going to do research on your bachelor's party."

"Isn't Hugh hosting it?"

"No. He's banned for awhile. He had been meeting up with us too much in such a short amount of time."

Kris opened his door and walked out a bit. "Oh... but he did make sure to tell me to hire some str*ppers for your party." Kris smirked and then slam the door shut.

Collin was going to yell but with the door open, they were still at work. He opened the door and saw that Kris was already inside the elevator. Collin knew that Kris has been happier than before, but some of his smiles are to hide the demons inside of him. He had never expected that Kris would fall in love.

And now lately, Kris' mind has been extra polluted with Lena. At that thought, Collin widened his eyes. Of course, how can he forget, he can advise Kris... but in reality, it might be Lena who may be pushing the gun.

He needed to call Stella. As a friend and someone that Kris looked up with respect, Collin does not really want to interfere with Kris and his love life. However, Kris was not normal. If Kris was not careful, he will eventually break Lena apart.

Collin: We need to talk.

Stella: Babe! I told u many times - don't use that phrase

Collin: Oh. Forgot.

Stella warned Collin before to not use the phrase "We need to talk." in a relationship because it was a very stressful phrase. In most relationships, it could be the start of a breakup. It makes the situation sound like something bad was going to happen or something overwhelming was going to get exposed.

We need to talk. Boom! Breakup, or move in with me, or let's get married.

We need to talk. KAPOW! I have cancer, I am pregnant, or I cheated on you.

Yeah... a woman hearing that phrase will explode her mind the entire day with questions, wondering what the man will say. And the other way around too.

Collin finished up his paperwork and task that Kris gave him. He delivered the rest of the work to his own workers.

"Simon, here are the paperwork for tomorrow's meeting. Make sure to get it compiled and cleaned up. "

"Yes, Secretary Collin." The man, Simon, grabbed the files from Collin. "Uh... Can I also be invited to your stripper party?"

Collin scowl, grabbed the files back and scroll them and hit Simon with it. He tossed it back on Simon's desk and left. No wonder everyone was staring at him, it was because of what Kris said. What if Stella hears about this!!
