Gossip

Lena looked back at Kris. He seemed so confident about his workers. Lena would not want to work with such a strict boss, but the no gossip rule was nice. SHe would need to make sure her workers ensure her privacy too.

"Who's Hugh? Doctor Tye mentioned him a few times too… Kept saying something like we are similar. Hugh's a girl?" Lena changed the topic.

"No. He's a man."

A man? Lena was confused about how she can be so similar to a man. Maybe the man is girly? Or was she manly?!

She looked down at herself. No... she was pretty and looked pretty. No way she is manly. It can be something else about both of them. "Am I going to meet him sometime?"

"No."

"Ok, then. Can I go visit Gary?"

"No."

Lena walked furiously toward him. "What?! You can't keep me away from him…You said ---"

"If you want to visit him, you'll need to do something for me."

Lena's eyes widened. Of course, it was too easy when Kris said he can take care of Gary. He was using Gary as a hostage now, the same way she was using Madam Li. "I am a nice person… you can just kindly ask me. You know? Like how I am kindly asking you to go see my friend?"

"My mom's birthday is coming up. Since you are close to her, find out what she wants."

"That's it?" Lena thought that the man was going to ask her to do something impossible. "What did you give her last year?"

"A pure breed dog… But I did not know she was allergic to dogs. She had always said she wanted company and since I cannot give her kids, I gave her a dog."

"AHahahaha." Lena laughed uncontrollably and placed one hand on the desk and the other on her stomach. "A dog…. Ahahah.. You're the dog!"

"I guess you are not serious with visiting Gary."

Lena stopped laughing and cleared her throat. "Don't you worry, I am a professional. I can get you your answer in 24 hours so you better prepare for my visit soon."

Lena grabbed her purse from the chair she sat on. "Are you going to send me out? I have not gotten back to you for the flick. We must always be equal." She demanded.

Kris reluctantly got out of his chair to walk her out. As they walk side by side, Lena continued to sense the stares from the workers. "Are you sure they don't gossip?"

"I am sure of it." Kris stressed.

He walked her just to the hallway. It was only a few feet to the elevator from here. James went to the elevator first and was holding the door. Lena look at the elevator then back to Kris and smiled. Kris saw her eyes sparkled for a bit.

"So… I will see you tomorrow at your place then?" She spoke loudly.

"What?" Kris replied in a soft voice. Lena ignored that and kept her smile. She went to her bag and pulled out a handkerchief. She handed it to Kris who was confused but took it.

"I'll miss you." She spoke again in her loud voice. She had heels on today, but she still tiptoed a bit and quickly gave Kris a peck on his left cheek.

Before he could react, she was already running away, waving her hand. "Bye babe!"

Kris eyes grew wide. No wonder that damn woman gave him a handkerchief and that stupid sly smile of hers. He should have known she was up to something bad. He saw her mouthed "Gossip" right before the elevator closed.

He quickly wiped his cheeks and tossed the handkerchief to Collin, who stood silently in his spot.

"Tsk.." Kris sneered but went back to his office and slammed the door shut.

Everyone just stared at the elevator then back at the door. 'SO IT IS TRUE!' There is definitely something going on between their boss and Miss. Shen. Their boss has been so weird lately, could this be it! Can they finally have women working with them now? It was so hard to see other people working with hot woman, and they have to suffer Kris's wrath every day.

Collin was considering if he needed to call Tye or not. In the end, he decided not to. Collin was about to toss the handkerchief int he trash but Kris unexpectedly opened the door.

"Give me that back."

"Huh??" Colling was puzzled.

Kris walked out, aggressively grabbed the handkerchief from his hand, and went back to the office with another slam on the door. Collin needed to text Tye immediately! Gossip time!

Lena was in the elevator evilly giggling to herself. James did not really see what happened because there was a pot of tree blocking his view. But just from Lena's smirk… he knew that his lady boss was up to no good again.

"We are going to Gary's house."

"Alright."

"I have to go pick up some stuff. I am going to go visit him." Lena evil laughter faded and she sweetly smiled. She missed Gary and his cheerfulness.

They drove to the apartment. Usually, Noah would be here but it was the weekend. Lena used the key on the door and opened it. It has been a while since she was here. They place look normal.

Lena head to one of the rooms. It was Gary's fishes. She learned that he had a big collection of fishes and they had been helping feed them. Lena grabbed the container of fish food and dropped a few into the tanks.

Lena then went into the computer room. It was the other room they were able to unlock. She went into it to grab a few items she personally needed. After that, she went to the living room. She grabbed Gary's favorite figurine. She also grabbed a picture of Gary when he was young and was standing with his coach. Lena had always thought that Gary was an orphan. He only ever talked about his coach who had looked after Gary a lot when he was growing up.

Lena grabbed the items and locked the door before leaving again. She told Kris that she only needs 24 hours to do her task, and she was going to keep that.
