Dr. Linda looked up from her charts. She was a bit amazed that such a cold man was so worried about a small thing.
"Is it normal?" Lena asked.
"Have you experienced bleeding before?" Dr. Linda went put on some gloves.
"It was my first time."
"Bleeding is fairly normal from your first time. I can give you a quick checkup if you don"t mind."
Lena sat back on the chair as Dr. Linda put a cloth over Lena, for privacy. Kris continued to stand next to Lena.
After a quick examine, Dr. Linda discarded her gloves. "I didn"t see any tearing or physical symptoms of infection. I will prescribe you a cream to alleviate the pain, but overall, I think you just need a few days of rest. And during that time, you should refrain from any s.e.xual activity or intense exercise that puts more pressure on the pelvic muscles."
"Thank you." Lena responded.
"I don"t see anything concerning at the moment. I can see that you can walk fine and the bleeding is very minor. If you continue to bleed or experience more pain, you should come back for a thorough exam. You can pick up the cream in the pharmacy."
After they were done and ready to leave, Kris picked up Lena again. He thanked the doctor and head out the door.
"What are you doing? I can walk fine, you worry too much." Lena nudged him but he still kept a tight hold on her.
"I have the right to worry."
"You"re acting like I am pregnant."
Kris stopped walking and smiled at Lena. "You never know..."
He carried her to the pharmacy, picked up the cream, and they both went back to the car. He started up the car and drove.
"You should not go to work today. And I don"t think you should go to the movie premiere tonight too."
"Wow... you are really overthinking." Lena glared at him. "I will not go to work, agree. But, I am still going to attend the movie premiere. I am going to be sitting the whole time anyway... and it will be out first outing event in public, even though we"re not arriving together."
"Fine..."
"See.. compromise. You win, I win." Lena pinched his cheeks as he drove.
Kris was driving Lena back to the apartment, but at that moment, his phone rang. Lena hit the answer b.u.t.ton on the car and Kris answered.
"What is it?"
"CEO Li... I have been trying to call you for the last hour." Collin spoke. "Did you not remember that you have your charity meeting this morning?"
Lena glanced at Kris... he lied to her. He said he had nothing this morning.
"I forgot about that." Kris replied, knowing that Lena was looking at him right now, but he kept his eyes on the road.
"Forgot? You"re not a forgetful---" person...
"I was with Lena." Kris quickly interrupted Collin.
"Oh..."
"When was the meeting?" Lena spoke.
"Oh.. Miss. Shen, you"re here too." Collin realized that he was on speaker now, with both of them. "It was scheduled to start half an hour ago, but I pushed it back."
"Okay, we"ll be there in 15 minutes."
"Alright then."
Lena hit the end b.u.t.ton and sat on her seat. "You"re not sending me home. You have a meeting to go to."
"Where are you going then?"
"With you, to your work." Lena smiled. "Isn"t it nice? I can stay with you all day long at work instead of getting bored at home being all alone."
"Fine."
Kris sped his way to his company. He parked in the CEO designated parking spot and stepped out of his car.
"Morning, CEO Li." A worker greeted him.
Kris nodded at him. And he walked over to open the door for Lena but she was already out and walking inside the building.
Kris quickly rushed up to her and picked her up, swinging her into his arms. He smiled at her and continued to walk inside the building.
"You---"
"My house, my rules."
Lena did not struggle.
As they walk inside, the doorman, smiled at the CEO and then greeted Lena. Lena smiled back at him.
Kris walked slowly, showcasing everyone his pretty woman, but Lena just thought that she was a bit heavy for him. As they got inside his private elevator, Kris was still not letting Lena go.
When the door closed, all the female workers huddled up and looked at the elevator fo up.
"Did... did you see that?"
"Oh my! The news was not fake!!"
"They really are a couple then... Did you see him smile.. he was smiling, right?"
"Yeah! They look so cute together."
"Don"t you think she is being sa.s.sy?" A voice emerged from the group.
The girls turned around to see a woman who they were not familiar with.
"What do you mean?" One of the female workers questioned her.
"I mean... what kind of woman chase her man to work, he"s here to work, not play around."
"Play around?" The female workers look at each other.
"Hey... do you think he"ll start promoting female workers from the secretarial department? Since he has a woman with him now, that means us female workers have a chance to get promoted, right?"
The girls got off-topic, ignoring the sa.s.sy part and focused on the idea that they can get promoted now... to work at the top floor and have a higher wage.
"You"re right?! I should get back to work and make sure I look good in front of my supervisor."
"AHH... I still have a report to finish."
The girls split up and the woman who called Lena sa.s.sy bit her lips.
"Tsk... stupid workers."
She had plans today inside the Li Company, but after the scene she saw earlier, she decided to turn back. She walked out and got into her car. She grabbed her phone and made a call.
"I am in City A." She spoke.
"Already?" A man"s voice could be heard. "You"re not supposed to be here until next month."
"Things came up.."
"Like what things?"
"Like... did you know your woman came to work with my boss today? He carried her sweetly inside. How does that sound, Tyler?"
"So she is seeing him... that will complicate the original plan."
"So what? I can get rid of her easily. Piece of cake."
"Becca!" Tyler raised his voice over the phone. "Don"t you dare you touch her. Do whatever you have to do, but at no circ.u.mstance can you touch her. Do you understand me?"
"...." She did not reply immediately. "Whatever you say."
