When Lena got down to go for breakfast, her parents were already gone. She was enjoying her morning coffee and browsing at the morning news.
"Shen Wine Industry Stocks sinking like the t.i.tanic."
"Dropping my a**." Lena mumbled.
"Li Conglomerate retracts business with Shen Wine Industry!"
"Princess Lena angers one of the Kings!"
"Famous Actress Lily returns from filming overseas."
"Lena Shen moved on from Andy Yang?!"
This one has a picture of Lena sitting in the car with Gary. *Scoff* "They should at least take a picture of her good side if they want good gossip news."
"Is there anything that is interesting in the news?"
Her phone rang and she picked it up.
"You"re up early to cause trouble."
"Ah?? I didn"t sleep one bit with the task you had given me."
"I did not sleep too… Anyways, you must have found something interesting to have called me already."
"I did! Do you have your laptop that I gave you?"
"Ah.. Let me go to my room."
Lena put him on hold as she grabbed her coffee and went back to her room.
Gary specifically designed a laptop with high security for her. She used this laptop mostly for her work and everything else.
"Ok.. what"s up."
"I sent you a file."
"Ok… I received it." Lena opened the file. The file included three folders, each dedicated to one of the three kings.
"Why are the folders on the Yangs and Lis so small in size?"
"Hey… Do you know that it has only been 17 hours since I last saw you? I still have a few more hours to go!"
"And… do you know how hard it is to crack open the top technology company under the Zhao"s?! I started with the hardest first then I will go for the easy ones."
"I thought you said you can do anything."
"I can… but I need more time. I am giving you something you can work with while I crack the eggsh.e.l.ls on the other two."
"Fine. You can have another 24 hours."
"Ehehe… I love you boss. Anyways, I am not going to spoil the news but there are a lot of researches that the Zhao Corporation are doing. Some of them might interest you."
"En. K, Bye!"
Lena hung up and opened the folder for the first King, Zhao. She put her skimming skills back to use… and it was not until two more cups of coffee that she found something interesting.
"Hmm… It seems like I found my date for the Charity."
Lena quickly dressed for her adventure. For today, she wore a nice floral s.h.i.+rt with some nice shorts that she purchased yesterday.
And again, she drove her Rosé (the name of her car).
She sped her way to the Zhao corporation building. Lena was more used to driving the car now.
As she walked into the building, there were eyes all over her. Of course, she and her family are still front page news so people are obviously going to throw comments.
"Is that Lena Shen? What is she doing in our company?"
"Is she here to cause more trouble?"
"Breathe Lena. Just ignore… ignore." Lena walked to the front desk.
The front desk lady faked a smile at Lena. "h.e.l.lo, how can I help you miss?"
"I have a meeting with Ming Zhao."
Lena lied. She knew that she was not doing to be able to meet the guy without having an appointment.
"I don"t seem to see you here on his schedule."
"Hmm? Are you sure?! Let me see?" Lena quickly pushed the screen to her so she can get a glimpse of the schedule.
"Ah? You are right! My call must have not gone through!"
Lena saw that he should be arriving at the company soon from his lunch meeting outside today.
"Have Lena Shen gone stupid?" The front desk lady pondered.
"It"s fine…" Lena walked away. But to the lady"s surprise, Lena walked to sit in one of the seatings and she was not leaving.
She quickly walked up to Lena. "Sorry Miss, but you cannot sit here if you do not have an appointment."
"I do have an appointment though… sometime in the future."
The lady frowned. "You have to leave this area, or I will call security."
