Second Lead Syndrome: A Second Chance Chapter 240 - The talk of pregnancy.

The next morning when Lena woke up, Kris was already gone. She lightly rubbed her eyes and touched the side of the bed where Kris slept. It was already cold... the sun was not up yet but he was gone.

How much sleep did the guy even get? Lena stretched her arms and got off the bed. She went to get ready for the day.

Lena woke up early so she made a light breakfast and packed lunch. She also packed one for Kris so she can go visit him later on.

One thing Lena found out this morning was that her voice was completely.... dead. She did not have any meetings today so she could still go to work and do some paperwork.

James picked her up early in the morning and they went to SHYNE company.

The Shen Annual party was in two weeks, and the partnership release date for LUX x SHYNE was in about three weeks.

The clothes were already in production and would be finished by the end of this week. The models can begin wearing them and the promotion process would start.

When Lena arrived to work, she felt like there were extra eyes on her. She wanted to keep glancing over her shoulder but would that make it too obvious?

She shrugged and continue going to her office. Lena already informed Diane about her condition today. She would not be receiving any calls.

Lena had just sat down and got her paperwork set up on her table when Diane knocked on the door.

"CEO Shen is coming up."

"What?" Lena's tiny voice screeched.

After a minute, Lena heard the elevator door dinged and her father quickly got out. He immediately went to Lena's office, kicked Diane out and closed the door.

Lena did not say a word.

"When were you going to tell me?"

"About?" Her tiny voice replied.

"You... what happened to your voice?"

"Nothing."

"Don't tell me nothing." Shen Mao approached Lena and check her throat. "It Is him isn't it. Look at how much he worked you."

"Who?"

"This!" He flicked up his phone and Lena saw the perfect captured photo of Kris and her at the amusement park.

Lena scrolled down the article and it had lots of other sweet photos of them.

"How long did you stay up with him, hmmm? What did you both do all night? Your voice is dead." Shen Mao lifted Lena's head a bit and looked at her eyes.

"Your eyes are tired... what kind of monster is he? He should take responsibility. How far did you go? That bastard!"

"That bastard is my grandson." A harsh cold voice sounded from the door.

Both Lena and her father turned to look at Elder Li who was at the door. Lena spotted Diane who was feeling guilty and sad like she totally got yelled by the old man.

"Chairman Li." Shen Mao quickly greeted him. "Your grandson has no respect for the elders."

"..." Lena was quiet.

She too really did not respect Kris grandparents also. First of all, why is Elder Li here?

Elder Li walked up to Lena and looked at her carefully. "That boy... doesn't he know that he shouldn't be going so rough on you when you're pregnant?"

Shen Mao and Diane's mouth dropped. "Pregnant?!"

"How far along are you?" Shen Mao asked.

"I—" before Lena could finish, her dad spoke to Elder Li.

"Chairman Li, your son is a bastard. How can he disgrace our daughter like this and not take responsibility?!"

"I am very sorry, CEO Shen. I just fairly recent figured it out too. I was going to take him and come to visit you and your family tonight."

"Things have gotten this far, we should get them married before the bump shows or both our families would be shameful."

"Ahh! Stop it." Lena's tiny little broken voice shouted. "I AM NOT PREGNANT!!!"

"But you visited an OB-GYN doctor a few days ago." Elder Li spoke. "The report even said you went to get a pregnancy check-up."

"What?" Lena did not go for that. She went to get prescribe birth control medicine... there was no pregnancy checkup.

"Lena, you don't have to lie. I am not mad at you. Your mother would not be too."

"I am really not pregnant!" Lena's voice was dying each time she talked more. "Ugh!!"

Lena grabbed her phone and texted an emergency message to Kris. He quickly called her but she handed the phone to Diane.

Diane understood the gesture and talked with Kris.

"My grandfather is there?"

"Yes, sir. He.. he is saying Miss is pregnant but she is saying she is not. Her father is also here."

"..." Kris sighed. "Give the phone to my grandfather."

Diane politely gave the phone to Elder Li, saying that Kris was on the other line. The old man stepped out to have his conversation while Lena quietly sat with her father.

Shen Mao kept looking at Lena.. especially her stomach.

Lena glared at her father and turned away from him.

After a few minutes, Elder Li came back to the room.

He apologized to Shen Mao. "I am sorry. It seems like my information was incorrect."

"Lena is not pregnant?" Shen Mao was sad.

Diane came back to the room and brought fresh fruits and water for everyone. They all sat in silence to eat and waited for Kris to come.

There was a moment of awkward silence before Elder Li spoke again. "CEO Shen, regardless, I think the two should still get married. After all, they are already living together."

"What?" Shen Mao looked at Lena.

"No." Lena replied.

"You are saying that if I go to your apartment right now.. there is not a single item of his in your apartment."

Lena lowered her head and did not reply.

"We will get marry on our own terms." Kris opened the door and replied.
