Second Lead Syndrome: A Second Chance - Chapter 293

When they reached home, they both went to Lena’s apartment. Lena sat on her sofa while Kris reheated the food. He wanted Lena to eat something before she went back to bed.

Lena yawned several times. She was getting really sleepy but Kris was right, she needed to eat something before sleeping again.

“About the case, leave it me, I can handle it for you.”

Lena had a spoonful of rice in her mouth. She looked at Kris for a dumb second and then her mind exploded. For her… it’s been like months but for everyone else, it had just been a few hours.

Of course, she forgot about the case… her mind was only thinking of Kris.

She quickly chewed the rice and swallowed it. “It’s fine. I can deal with it. It’s very small, and you’re busy.”

“I am busy… and it is small, that’s why I can take care of it. I wouldn’t be CEO Li if I can’t take care of you and this. Beside, doc said nothing stressful for you.”

“This isn’t stressful.”

“Becca will be here later.”

“WHAT!”

“See, stress.”

“This…” Lena pouted.

“The bomb was made by Becca.. but I feel like she’s not that stupid to leave her evidence to obvious. She will be coming by here when you’re asleep.”

“….” Lena continued to eat. “Just… just don’t kill her in my house, okay?”

“Okay…” Kris smiled.

“You can have the case. But… You can’t keep me out of the loop. I need to know every detail.”

“Sure… but only after the two weeks.”

“Kris!” Lena shouted.

“You can play games all day.”

“Games can be stressful if you suck at it and people call you a noob.”

“You can draw then… take the time off and draw.”

‘Hmm… that’s does seem like a good idea.’ Lena thought. “Okay.”

“I will call your mother and tell her about your break. I’ll also stay with you for the two weeks until you’re good too.”

“Ahaha… That’s funny. A high CEO like you can’t just take a two-week vacation. Tyler Huang will take that time to take you out.”

“He can try me.” Kris took a sip of water. “Do you not want me to stay with you?”

Lena stopped eating and looked at him. ‘Of course, I want you to stay with me…’ But she knew that with Kris… she also can’t be that greedy.

“Can you stay with me… until then?” Lena asked.

“Of course I can if you want me to.” Kris smiled.

“Yes.”

After their meal and coming into an agreement on how things were going to be for the next two weeks, Kris tucked Lena into bed. Lena was too sleepy to shower and sleep so she just went to bed She knew that she will wake up later at midnight anyway, and she can take a shower then.

Kris stayed with Lena until she was asleep. Even then, he continued to stay with her until Becca texted him that she was on the elevator right now, going up to his penthouse.

Kris: Stop at Lena’s floor. We will chat there.

Becca glanced at the text she received from Kris. She was hoping to get some alone time with him, but he wants her at the bitch’s place? What is that Lena up to now?

Becca: Okay

After a few minutes, Becca arrived on the floor. before she can even get to the door, Kris already opened the door. Kris did not want Becca to ring the bell or knock on the door in case it wakes up Lena.

“Gently close the door.” Kris spoke and then walked to the living room. He sat down on the sofa as Becca entered the room.

Becca did not sit and just stood up.

“Lena is sleeping, I don’t want to raise my voice.”

“Did… did I do something wrong, Boss?”

“Depends.” Kris looked at Becca then took out a file of the paper. “There was a bomb at the Marriot where one of the lawyers and a key witness in the case Lena’s involve in.”

“Yes, I heard it on the new today.”

“Since you are an expert in a bombing, I was hoping you can look at these photos and tell me about the bomb.” Kris threw the file onto the table.

“Yes, boss.” Becca bent her knees on the floor and looked through the photos.

She organized the photos and then stopped. “What is this…? Is this a joke?” She looked at Kris.

“You should tell me.” Kris spoke softly.

“I….” Becca knew what the situation was. She immediately bent her head down to the floor and bowed down. “I didn’t do it, boss. Trust me. I have nothing to do with this.”

“But that bomb is yours… you’re telling me that someone else was able to copy your signature?”

“I DIDN”T DO IT!” Becca panicked.

“Shh…” Kris took out the gun he had sitting on the side of the sofa and put on the silencer. Without even lifting her head, Becca knew what Kris was doing. “Didn’t I say Lena was asleep?”

“…” Becca was scared. She knew how scary Kris can be. “I really did not do it. The bomb is indeed mine, no doubt, but I have nothing to do with this.”

“Lena said I shouldn’t make a mess here… but it only takes a few hours to clean off the mess, right?”

“Tyler Huang,” Becca exclaimed. “Since you have my task with infiltrating the Huangs, Tyler is the only one who knew that I can make bombs. To keep up with my identity and have his trust… I have made three bombs for him.”

Becca waited for Kris to say something but he didn’t. She still has her head down low, not making a single movement.

“I… I know he likes the Lady Boss… and he.. he knows that I have been with you lately. I think he is trying to frame me to make a good impression for the Lady Boss.”

“What? You’re saying that he will get rid of you for Lena?”

“Yes… that’s what I would do.” Becca lifted her head a bit. “Kris… you know I have feelings for you. But I will also never harm you. I would also get rid of anyone who comes between you and Lena.. if that makes you happy. That’s love… crazy love. I would have killed Tyler already but we need him… to get the information we need.”

There was a long silence while Kris thought through what Becca said. “You have 24 hours to prove that Tyler planted the bomb. And I need to know what he is doing with the other two. If not, I want you to retrieve those back in your possession. Do. You. Understand?”
