James dropped Lena off outside the apartment as usual. Lena greeted the doorman, the front desk person, and walked to the elevators. The elevator doorman knew exactly which floors Lena lived in. He pushed the b.u.t.ton for her. They both waited for the elevator to come down.
"Welcome back Mr. Li."
Lena turned her face to the voice of the front door man. "Kris?" Lena called him out. He walked to her. "Why are you here?"
"I live here. Can I not be here?"
"What?! Since when?"
"Since forever."
"Then why did you use my shower this morning! You made me wait so long!" Lena"s loud voice echoed through the large empty floor and the staff stared at them.
Kris ignored that comment and walked past her to go to his private speed elevator. Lena followed him, trying to match his footsteps. He stopped and press the b.u.t.ton and the elevator quickly opened.
Lena stared at astonishment. Her elevator is not even down yet! Where did this weird thing appear from?!
Kris entered and quickly closed the door. Lena jumped back. Then she pressed the b.u.t.ton and expected the elevator door to open as quickly as when Kris did it. It didn"t. She pressed it again and It gave her a red blinking "no access" reply.
"Ah?" Lena was confused. She walked back to Ben, the elevator doorman. "What is that elevator?"
"That is Mr. Li"s private elevator. Only he and a few people can access it."
"Private? Can I get one for mine floor too?"
"Sorry Miss. Shen. Only one was built when the building was designed. And Mr. Li purchased it already."
*DING*
Her elevator finally arrived. Lena entered and thanked Ben. She will have to be faster next time to use it with Kris. It was a technology that she had not seen before in any of her worlds.
Lena entered her bedroom and tossed herself to her soft bed. She was tired, but there was no time to be idle when your enemy was still lurking around. Lena decided to take a nice warm bath to refresh herself. She took off her clothes and gently got into the shower. She washed her hair first before was.h.i.+ng her body. She still needs to take care of her wound.
After making sure she was cleaned, she headed to grab her tower. She stopped and stared confusingly at the empty hanger. "Hm… I am sure I always put it back here.."
Then it struck her… the scene from this morning. "Argh."
She had more towels, but that particular one was her fluffy towel and there is no other like it. Lena angrily walked to her shower cabinet to grab a new one. Her long black hair was dripping water onto the floor.
Lena suddenly slipped and fell entirely on the floor. Her flawless skin was kissed against the cold floor. She did not tip due to the wet floor, but instead slid and tripped over something. Her right hand was also tangled on something too!
Lena glanced at her hand and.."UGH!" She tossed it to a corner and looked at what other things she landed on. She stared at a white colored s.h.i.+rt and an expensive black suit pants. She shook the clothes off her leg and kicked them to join the corner with the other piece of garment.
She stared angrily at the three happy pair of family, the s.h.i.+rt… the pants.. And the…
"AHHH! I swear he is never coming inside my house again!"
She quickly stood up, grabbed a towel and left her contaminated bathroom. She walked to the hallway bathroom to re-wash her body. She opened the door to be greeted by her fluffy towel, neatly draped on the hanger.
She shut the door immediately. Lena walked back to her room to dry herself. She did not bother for that second wash. She has more important matters to worry about than get herself frustrated over such small things.
She got into her comfortable pajamas and walked to her desk. She saw her hand sanitizer at the corner of her desk and pushed a lot to her hands. She rubbed her hands together until the alcohol was gone.
Lena started up her laptop. It had only been a day since the cameras were installed, but Lena was curious to see if anything had happened.
Kris has them set connected and saved to his private database but he gave Lena access to them, as well as Noah who was now the technical person.
Lena watched the videos in speed mode and only stopped if something interested her. She spent two hours already skimming through the 24 hours. So far, she knew that Eva stayed over that night after dinner. Despite some obvious gestures that Eva was throwing at Andy, they both slept in different rooms in the end.
Lena was somewhat happy to know that there are still some original Andy left in him. After a while, she paused on something. The videos have no audio detection because the cameras were too small to have both functions. However, they do have high detail quality.
Madam Yang visited Eva during the night and they both chatted about something. Madam Yang did not look happy but she gave something to Eva. Lena could not make out what was it that Madam Yang gave her.
Lena"s laptop does not have any high stuff to zoom in video contents and still maintain the digital quality. She will give the time stamp and camera number to Noah so he can check that out.
Lena also noticed that Madam Yang called someone right after visiting Eva. Madam Yang was in her office. After the phone call ended, she threw the phone in her trash. She angrily walked to her desk and knocked down a few items off it. Something about that phone call definitely made her angry.
Lena continued to take note of everything she thought was interesting or that she needed more information. She had a feeling that the phone call was something important. For this one, Lena wanted to do it herself, and she already had an idea how.
She shut down her laptop and tossed her body onto the bed. She covered herself with a warm blanket and tried to go to sleep. She did not want to think about Madam Yang or the nasty clothes she has to clean tomorrow.
Lena did not want to have a housekeeper. She was a capable woman who can pick up after herself. She does her own laundry, cooking, and cleaning.
