Lena told Gary to leave first but he was reluctant to let her go meet Kris Li by herself. Even though she had her own bodyguards, he still needed to make sure he was with her.
He was at least able to force her to complete her paperwork before leaving that evening. They headed to Li Group company but was told that CEO Li was already out for the evening.
With that, there was only one other place that Kris Li could be at, Red Moon Club.
Lena was able to enter the club easily since she was a frequent member of the club. She quickly entered the club with her men and headed straight to the VIP lounge.
She knew which room Kris was in. It was quite obvious with all the cool looking men outside the room. Lena walked up to the room to be stopped by one of them.
"Tell him that I want to talk to him." She raised her hands up. "I"ll be sure to stay 3 feet away from him at all times."
"Keso, let her in." Kris"s voice could be heard through the big doors. The man stepped away and opened the door for Lena.
Lena glanced back at her bodyguards. "You two can stay out here."
She walked into a luxurious red and black room that was only slightly lit. She blinked a few times to adjust her eyes to the setting. She spot Kris sitting down in the end by himself, drinking casually.
He twirled his gla.s.s around. "Did you not like the gift?" He asked sarcastically.
Lena sat to the side with Gary. "It was perfect."
"What do you ------" Before Kris could finish, the door slammed open with a breathless Lay.
"BOSS! Miss. Lena is in the bui..l...ding…" Lay"s voice died down when he spotted Lena, who was already sitting comfortably. "Nevermind, don"t mind me."
He was about to walk out when Kris spoke his an angry tone. "Stay."
Lay cleared his throat and sat across from Lena. "Good evening, Lena Shen."
Lena nodded at Lay but gave her attention back to Kris Li.
"You knew that there was a second hit on me." Lena spoke first.
"Not at first. When I visited you that day, I had high hopes of a worthless woman lying before me." His nonchalant and cold tone gave Lena a fright.
His eyes were extra dark and scary in the large empty room. "To my surprise, you were not scratch one bit. I had already suspected something by then."
"So?" Lena asked.
Kris finally looked at Lena, eye to eye. He also finally spotted Gary with her. He at first a.s.sumed that it was one of her bodyguards that entered the room with her. This woman is full of surprise isn"t" she. He slightly smiled.
"After I left, I finally looked into the real situation. My people would never have failed me so badly. A failure is equivalent to death."
Kris poured a gla.s.s of wine and slid it across the table to Lena. However, she continued to stare at Kris for him to continue.
"I could torture and kill a woman, but I would never defile a woman."
Somehow, with his cold tone of voice and deathly stare, Lena believed him.
"Do you know who is behind the other group?" She asked curiously.
"Why would I tell you? They are none of my business and so are you."
Lena finally took the gla.s.s of wine and took a sip. Yummy. The wine had a very exquisite taste.
"So you do know?"
"I do."
Lena placed the gla.s.s down and turned again toward Kris. "What would it take for you to tell me?"
Kris was finally interested. His eyes perked up and his sly smile returned. "I want him."
"Huh?" Lena followed Kris stare at Gary. Did he want Gary? What for?!!
