Second Lead Syndrome: A Second Chance Chapter 237 - Excuses, excuses

While Lena was having her girl's night, Kris went back up to his penthouse to grab himself a drink too. He sat in his office and looked through some important documents.

After a few minutes, his phone started to ring. He glanced over and saw "Nerd" popped out. He stopped reading and picked up the call.

"What is it?"

"You sound grumpy... did I interrupt you?" Gary spoke.

"No. What do you need?"

"Is Lena with you? I tried to call her but seems like she's busy."

"She's not with me. She's out with Hazel."

"No wonder you're grumpy."

"What are you implying..." Kris raised his voice.

"Nothing... that's not why I called." Gary replied. "Have.... Lena made new enemies recently?"

"No. You see something wrong in your magical world?"

"It's not magical... and yes, some red flags. Her name has been popping up lately on my alert system. She must have pissed some bad people, they are really digging her information up."

"Block them." Kris demanded.

"Already did. I only allowed taking the simple information so it doesn't look too obvious."

"Have you trace who is searching for her information?"

"I did... well found one out of three. The other two are a bit smarter but I'll find them." Gary answered. "You want the name?"

"...." Obviously, he wanted the name.

"Hacker name Warp, the Real name Daniel Han, college drop-out but definitely made a name in the hacker society."

"I don't need the name of the hacker, I need to know who is paying him."

"I know... stop ruining my moment of intelligence."

"There was a wire transfer to his account an hour ago. I traced it to a company offshore account. Long Law firm? You know anything about that?"

"I do."

Kris could hear his elevator ding which means that Lena was probably home and looking for him.

"You want me to do anything?" Gary asked.

"No. It's a women's battle."

"What does that ----"

Kris hung up the call on Gary before he could finish his sentence. Lena opened the door to his office. Kris stood up and walked toward Lena.

"Did you just get home?"

"Yeah, I didn't see you so I expected you to be up here." Lena yawned. "Were you on the phone?"

"Nothing important." Kris grabbed Lena's left hand, looked at the beautiful ring on her finger and kissed it. "You didn't drink too much right?"

"No... but I am going to go shower and get ready to sleep. I am tired."

"Ok."

Lena parted from him and walked to his bedroom. Kris closed his laptop and carried his work with him back to his room.

"Do you have any clothes for me yet?"

Kris paused and looked at Lena. "No."

Lena looked back at him. She prepared many things for him but he was just still him. She smiled and grabbed the towel and head to the bathroom.

"You don't need any clothes if you're staying with me." Kris shouted.

"Mhmm.... excuses, excuses." Lena shut the bathroom door and Kris could hear the shower running after a few minutes.

He chuckled. He placed his work on the desk in his room and get back to looking at his documents.

When Lena was done showering and finished blow-drying her hair, she walked out to see Kris very focused on his work. She walked up to him and hugged him from the back.

"Going to sleep first. Don't stay up too late." Lena spoke.

Kris turned his head a bit just so he can give Lena a goodnight kiss. "Just finishing things up so we can go on a date tomorrow."

"Oh? That sounds nice."

"You're tired so go to bed. I won't be here long. I know you can't sleep on my bed unless I am there."

"As long as you know your woman and your bed." Lena gave him another peck on the lips and crawled into Kris' hard bed.

She pulled up the blanket on her and closed her eyes. Usually, she would never fall asleep on such an uncomfortable bed, but the alcohol must be getting to her a bit and she fell asleep after a while.

Kris finished his work and reading his documents. He put them away safely and then crawled to bed. Lena was already asleep and huddled into her cacoon, hogging all the blanket. It was not cold but Lena liked having a blanket and being warm.

Kris tugged the blanket off her, pulled her into his arms and covered both of them in the blanket. Her unconscious body could sense his presence and pushed herself closer to him. He kissed Lena on the forehead before closing his eyes and falling asleep with her.

When Lena woke up the next morning, it was already 10 a.m. Kris was not by her side and she noticed that she was completely naked!

Lena was sure she put on one of Kris' shirt before she went to bed... unless she did something bad yesterday... but that can't be... she was not even drunk. Lena tried to recall the events of after going to bed but nothing seemed to come to her mind.

"Morning." Kris opened the bedroom door and walked over to Lena.

"Did you take off my shirt?"

"You mean MY shirt. And yes I did." Kris replied as crawl into the bed and hugged his naked Lena, who was half-covering herself with the blanket. "You were very hot in the middle of the night so I removed your shirt."

"Hot.. like a warm baby... not the other hot. But you are that kind of sexy hot too." Kris kissed her open nape.

Lena pushed him away from her and got up from the bed. "Stop teasing me, didn't you say we were going on a date?"

Lena grabbed one of his robes and put it on.

"Yeah. And I also made you breakfast." Kris spoke.

Lena looked back at him. She sniffed, trying to guess what Kris cooked. "Hmm... eggs and bacon?"

"Yes. Western breakfast is easier for me...unless you prefer another type of breakfast." Kris smirked at Lena.

"No." Lena walked out of the room and head to the kitchen.

Kris followed her out. "I already ate so you can eat but I can go get you some clothes."

"Ok. But please choose something appropriate."

"No promises." Kris replied and then went down the elevator as Lena sat in the dining room and ate her breakfast.

The egg was cooked to a good texture. The bacon was a bit crispy but it was still good. Lena drank some fresh orange juice that Kris squeezed for her. After she was done, she headed to the bathroom to brush her teeth and get ready for the day.

At least Kris had a toothbrush for her.

After a while, Kris came back and he brought her a nude floral loose short with a pink plain top. He also brought along a pair of her laced flat sandals.

Lena tied her hair to a nice loose bun and got dressed. Kris stayed in the room and looked at Lena get ready from start to finish. He was admiring every single perfection in her.
