Lena wanted to sit down and search more but her stomach protested. Lena went back to the kitchen. She spent a good amount of time making herself a beef and shrimp dish with a side of leafy greens. It was a bad habit of hers when she was by herself, but she brought the food to her living room work area. As she ate, she was also browsing the internet for information on Bai Wentao.
She ate her last piece of shrimp and settled her back on the sofa, still sitting on the floor. She tilted her head back on the seat and stretched her arms.
The year that Madam Li had her accident, it was also the same year that Kris"s father was running for mayor. He withdrew from the election after his wife was in a coma. The Bai family also ran for Mayor that year, but it was Bai Wei, the older brother of Bai Wentao that ran. Bai Wei did not win mayor that year but w.a.n.g Yong did.
The Li did suspect that w.a.n.g Yong might have been a.s.sociated with the accident but there was no evidence or motives. However, what if it was the Bai family instead? Bai Wei became mayor after w.a.n.g Yong and Bai Wentao succeeded after him. If Lena recalled, Bai Wei only left the office to prepare for his running in the presidential election.
Lena definitely felt a big conspiracy building up here. If her enemy has connections with the Bai Family, then they need to be extra cautious of Madam Li"s every move. Lena had never paid attention to these big players, but for sure, Kris will know more about them. She will tell him the results tomorrow.
Today was a long and rough day already. She attended the birthday party this morning, played a spy in the afternoon, and babysat Kris, again, in the evening.
Lena picked up her plates and went to wash them. She went and clean the bathroom in the hallway before going back to her room for a shower. As expected, Kris left a mess again. The sink and the floor were wet. Her rug was pulled up, probably from him struggling with the pain on the floor.
She picked up the suit jacket, but this time just tossed it in the trash. He won"t miss it.
Lena went back to her room and straight into her shower. She took off her clothes and enjoyed a nice long warm shower. When she got out, she was looking for her phone. She remembered it last when she called Collin.
She spotted it on the floor by her bed. She picked it up and then remembered that she never really hung up the call on Collin when Kris tossed her over. Her eyes widened. They did have not heard their conversation… did they?
----- Back to Kris
Kris grabbed the bag from Lena and left. His three musketeers trailed behind him. He hit the elevator door b.u.t.ton and it opened. They all entered the elevator. Although the elevator was s.p.a.cious, with all four of them, it felt like being squeezed into a tiny room.
"Why were you guys here so late?" Kris spoke.
"What do you mean?! We got here as fast as we could!" Tye replied.
Actually, Collin and Tye could have been here sooner but after hearing what Kris said, Tye forced Collin to drive the speed limit.
"I am very. I had to go pick up the antidope hence my delay." Kye clarified his excuse.
"How did you know where to get the antidope?
"Do you remember the love pills that Hugh was working on?" Tye asked.
Kris looked at Tye. No wonder the pills looked familiar to him, it was that stupid friend of his. "What is he doing now?"
"Trying to figure out how the pills got out."
The love pills were made only to be used for couples who have trouble with s.e.x. Once the pill is consumed, it takes awhile for the body to react to it. The pill only triggers your s.e.xual desire and initiate contact. After that first few minutes of satisfaction, the drug is gone.
The drug is only made for people who are already in a relations.h.i.+p. So mostly after that first few minutes, they can continue the rest themselves without the effect of the drugs. Hence why it"s name, the Love Pill.
However, during the development stages, they found out several side effects. First, the pill forces the body to produce hormones to trigger the mind"s secual behavoir. During this phase of production, the body will experience intense pain. Secondly, the effects can be spread by bodily fluids in the first hour of intake. That means that if one person kisses the other, the other person will get aroused too.
They found out that the second person won"t experience the pain. So currently in the stages of researching, Hugh wants to know why the second person doesn"t experience pain and if that can be fixed into the person who takes the pill.
The pill was unstable and in its early stages of research so it was not introduced into the market yet. The original idea was to not make this a date **** drug. The Love pill can only be digest with its whole pill form, not powdered or in aqueous form. But if it can spread like that, it would ruin it"s purpose of being called the Love pill.
"So.. what"s in the bag?" Tye was curious. "You never told me you did anything else apart from waking up in the same bed as her. Did you get naked too?!"
Kris slapped Tye on the back of his head. "Perverted doctor."
The elevator door opened and they all stepped out. Tye touched the back of his head and looked at Collin. Collin just shrugged, not daring to say more about what happened in front of Kris.
"You know… I expected to arrive to both of you on top of each---"
Kris smacked the back of his head one more time.
