Lena had a great sleep. Last night she had completed the contract between James and her and the program. She felt like it was a good day today. She had not been prettying herself much since the kidnapping and she felt like she can officially get back on track.
She picked out a simple blouse and wore a black slim high waisted skirt. She slipped on a pair of small pointed heels. Lena had her hair down with some soft waves. She didn"t forget to wear her safety bracelet and matched that with some gold earrings.
Lena saw the box that had the pearl necklace sitting in her jewelry drawer. She will need to go out sometimes to buy some matching earrings with that.
Lena walked down the stairs to eat breakfast and she can hear her mother"s small laughter. As expected, her mom was talking with Aunt Mary while she enjoyed her breakfast.
"Are you not going to work today?" Lena asked her mother.
"No. I have a gathering with some of the madams later."
Lena sat down by her mother while Aunt Mary served her breakfast. "Thank you."
"You can go and purchase your own place. Your father was just being stubborn."
"I know he was."
"Just make sure you come home often to visit often."
"I am not going to go abroad or get married. I"m just trying to be more independent like you."
"You are my daughter after all. Hurry up, your car is already outside waiting for you."
Lena kissed her mother goodbye and left. She had a planned meeting with all her bodyguards.
When she arrived at her office, James was already there waiting for him. Instead of going straight to her office, she brought all three men to the meeting room. They felt like it was an intense situation. Noah and Kye knew that one of them might be dismissed if James joined the team.
Lena sat at the head of the table while the three men spread themselves among the long table. They were large men that needed their s.p.a.ce. Lena placed a few files on the table and started flipping through them.
"Noah, you have two kids?"
"I do, Miss. Shen." Noah replied.
"Kye, you yourself come from quite a strong family background. Why be a bodyguard?"
"What your family background does not define you. My pa.s.sion is to protect." Kye responded.
"You two are so tense. I am not dismissing anyone from their job." Lena clarified.
Both of them relaxed a bit internally but their expression was still stern and alerted.
"Noah will pick me up early in the morning and leave by the afternoon. Kye and James will be my afternoon to evening bodyguard. I do not like overworking my people nor steal their time away from their families."
"You both were with me 16 hours a day, every day. You should have a normal work schedule like anyone else. You are risking your life to protect me every day instead of being able to protect your family. I know each of you signed up for this when you choose this career, but it doesn"t mean that you need to be deprived of your own life." Lena explained.
"We are thankful to be working for the Shen family." Both of them replied.
"I will be going on vacation in the next coming days. Only James will accompany me by then." Lena handed Noah and Kye some papers. "During that time, I want both of you to do security for my new home."
Lena had already purchased a floor from the most luxurious apartment building of City A, Crescent View Apartments. Lena was able to do a bit of bribing for one of the wealthier couples living there for them to sell their place.
Lena was keen on getting this place due to its high security and just because she can. Why go for something lower when you can aim for the best.
Although the apartment had its own state of the art security, it doesn"t hurt to have your own security too. The files Lena handed to Noah and Kye had some blueprints on some security installations.
"I already have a team set up the area already. I just need your own expertise to make sure there are no weak spots. All cameras and emergencies are linked to your phones and tablets.
All of my GPS locators are also linked in. You will also have direct access to my daily schedule and location regardless of you being active or not."
"We will make sure the area is secured when you get back." Noah replied.
"Where will miss be going?" Kye asked.
"Up north to City Z. The cold will be coming and I want to visit my grandparents." Lena answered. She had made last minute plans to go help Henry with the problem. She had many things going on, but family comes first and she will tackle them one problem at a time.
