Second Lead Syndrome: A Second Chance Chapter 244 - No comment

Kris walked over and sat on his desk chair. Ace also sat down on the chair across from Kris.

"I expected to see a picture of Lena here, but I guess you have not changed anything in here yet." Ace said.

"What are you really here for?"

"To apologize. Regarding the information that I gave to your grandfather." Ace explained.

"And what did you expect to gain from that?"

"To get you married, of course!" Ace smiled. "Your woman has so many men chasing her, you need to up your game before she is whooed away."

"You think a simple man can easily whoo her away?" Kris snickered.

"I was just trying to help you... but it didn't work out so I came here to apologize."

"I don't need you interfering with my life, Ace. I gave you a clear warning last time. Stay away from me and Lena."

"Fine. Then, I will give you a clear warning too. I am not sure Lena is someone who can stand up next to you. I will support her regardless because she is a special woman to you... but others may not be as kind as me."

Ace walked out the door and left.

'Others...' Kris does not need anyone to approve Lena... only he needed to approve her.

The next morning, Lena had breakfast with Kris again. Last night he did not come home late but rather even brought her flowers. Lena was questioning at how good her man was at hiding his feelings from her...

Lena had taken off work today because she had personal things to do. She also gave James the day off. However, she still had to make a quick stop at her office to grab a few items.

Lena went into her office, grab the folder she needed and walked out. As she was leaving, she could feel an intense curiosity of eyes staring at her. Lena stopped and looked at Diane.

"What is it?" Lena spoke.

"Ah.. nothing Miss. Shen."

"Really?" Lena asked again. "I feel like you have been waiting to say something to me lately."

Diane cleared her throat and moved closer to Lena. "Is it true.... that you are dating CEO Li?"

"That was it? OF course."

"Aiya! See I told you our boss was really dating him and the rumors were not just rumors." Diane screamed at the other ladies in the office.

"Ah... then boss! Chairman Li was here the other day.. did he disapprove you of seeing his grandson just like the dramas?!" A female worker screeched.

"Obviously you have been watching too many dramas. He wanted me to marry his son.. not break up with him."

"OMO!" The female worker used a Korean expression. "Then boss.. would we be invited to your wedding soon?"

"No comment." Lena shrugged and walked out to the elevator.

After she left, the girls all squealed.

"Did you see that? She said no comment... so she is really going to get married?!"

"I saw her wear a ring the other day!!"

"Me too! But she was not wearing one today? You think she is keeping it quiet too like her dating life?"

"I wouldn't care! Our boss is dating THE KRIS LI... of course, I would be hiding him away from everyone too if I was dating him... aiya... she always ends up with good looking men."

"I know, right? She was with CEO Yang and now hit another jackpot with CEO Li. I must pity CEO Yang... his fiance ran away from him... and now his ex is having a better life than him."

"I know right... but hey.. he is single again... maybe he'll be at the boss' wedding and we can get to see him too... ehheheh..."

The girls gossiped non-stop until Diane finally scolded them to go back to work.

Lena got out and drove to an outside market to pick some fresh fruits before going to visit Madam Li. She did ask if Kris had told his mother about dinner at her parent's house this weekend but Kris just kept making out with her all night long... seriously.. that man had been so bi-polar lately.

Lena did not mind it though... she guessed that she was a good stress reliever for him.

She married at the Li mansion and parked her car. She was immediately greeted by the head housekeeper.

"Good morning, Miss. Shen."

"Hi... Is Madam Li home? Sorry I did not call ahead."

"Yes, she is..." The woman led Lena to the living room. "Please sit. I will go tell the Madam that you are here."

Lena placed the fruits on the table and sat down, patiently waiting for Madam Li to arrive. After a few minutes, she appeared.

"Lena... I was just about to come to visit you today."

"Is that so?" Lena smiled and gave Madam Li a hug.

"I heard father came and gave you a visit at work the other day..." Madam Li sat down.

"He did. Nothing that I can handle."

Madam Li nodded approvingly.

"I picked up some fresh fruits at the market today for you." Lena spoke.

"They are lovely. You know how to pick your fruits..." Madam Li signaled the worker to take the fruits and put them away.

"I actually came here today to see if Kris told you yet... about the dinner at my parent's house this weekend."

"Depends on how you define told... I got the new... but from a stupid text message." Madam Li looked displeased. "Who knew that having another woman in his life means his mother is insignificant. Seems like he had forgotten who had been with him all his previous years."

Lena chuckled. "He has just been busy lately."

"Of course... he better be." Madam Li was hinting at him being busy giving her grandchildren. "By the way Lena, are you free today?"

"I have taken the day off to rest and recover."

Madam Li grinned. Of course, Lena should take more days off to rest and recover. If her son had been busy as he should, then surely Lena need all the days off she can get.

"I was hoping you can come with me to visit an old friend."

"Certainly, I can." Lena replied.

Since Madam Li was going out, she needed to have her driver with her. So Lena sat in the car with Madam Li and her driver drove. Lena had noticed that although Madam Li had her unusual health complications, she was a very strong and athletic woman regardless.

You would not expect her to have any health conditions if you look at her.

When they arrived, Lena did not expect them to be at a small shrine. The area was beautifully decorated and the garden was well tamed.

Lena silently followed Madam Li as they arrived at a small house. Madam Li took off her shoes and went in, and Lena did the same.

"Lady Wu." Madam Li greeted the old woman.

Again, Lena silently followed Madam Li's lead.

"Madam Li... I see that you have brought her with you."

'Me?' Lena sat down but she felt like this was not the simple "meeting an old friend" scene.

Lena looked at Lady Wu who was obviously looking Lena from top to down. She was also nodding her head.

'Is she.. a matchmaker?' Lena was a bit uncomfortable with all the staring but she kept her goody two shoes face on.

"Young lady... come here. I want to have a closer look at you."

Lena was reluctant but she moved closer to the old lady. Lady Wu help Lena's chin and turned her head side to side as she looked at Lena.

Lady Wu was sure her gift was correct about Lena having such a dark soul... but the woman in front of her had nothing but a strong aura of blessings. Finally touching her, Lady Wu can feel why her senses were all mixed up.

"When is your birthday." Lady Wu asked.

"Oh.. um.. August 15th XXXX."

"Hm....Not that one... I am asking for YOUR birthday."

"Mine... but my birthday is really August 15th."

Lena looked at Lady Wu and could feel what the woman was suggesting.... she must be asking for Shen Qian's birthday... not Lena... that means that she knows.

Lena looked at Madam Li and did not reply back.

Lady Wu also looked at Madam Li. "Madam.... if you don't mind, I would love to observe the lady alone... without interference of another energy."

"Ah... very well, Lady Wu." Madam Li excused herself and left them both alone in the room.

"She had left." Lady Wu looked at Lena. "Now... tell me. When is your birthday."

"May 4th XXXX."

"What time were you born?"

Lady Wu continued to ask Lena questioned and she answered them all to the best of her recollection. In the end... Lady Wu burst into a loud chuckled and Lena was even more concerned about her life....

This was not the first time she saw a crazy lady... why are all spritual old woman so creepy looking.

"Now tell me... little one. Who told you that you were blessed?"

"I don't know. It was an old lady at a shrine for the deity of Sheming."

"Shemin...? AHAHAHAHAHA.." Lady Wu laughed. "I thought that the old lady was already dead."
