Lena saw that she was being greedy. She took the last meat but she had not eaten it yet. Seeing Kris stopped eating, she placed the piece of meat on his plate. "I'm full."
Kris internally looked at the meat in disgust but he manned up and picked back up his chopsticks and ate it. "Thanks."
"You said thank you." Lena pointed out. Kris did not even know that it slipped out of his mouth. "You should say please and thank you more. People would not fear you so much."
"I will do as you say, Teacher." Kris played along as Lena had done with him in the past.
Lena smiled. She gulped down her glass of water and stood up. "I am going back to check on Gary. Tell me when we start therapy."
When Lena went out of the dining area, the hallway was already cleared. The three men were hiding in a different room. Lena walked happily back to Gary's room. She ate and she was in a good mood.
'Should I go and sing again?' Lena wondered.
Kris stood up from the table. He walked to the hallway and opened the door the three men were hiding in. James bowed his head to greet him then left the room to go and watch Lena. When James left, Kris shut the door. Collin and Tye knew that they were in trouble.
"Hey Kris, you did a good job!" Tye tried to smile.
Kris stared at him with no expression. Tye held his breath. He could feel the piercing eye stabbing his every bone.
"When do you want to start?" Tye continued.
"Where is Keso now?" Kris asked Collin.
"He is finishing up the task you gave him. He will arrive tomorrow morning."
"We will start the moment he arrives."
"Good! I will go prepare Miss. Shen for the session then." Tye tried to leave by Kris pulled him back to his original place.
"I am hungry. Go cook me something to eat."
"You just ate!"
"Did you see how much that woman ate?!"
"She said you should use more thank you and please. As your therapist, I agree with her." Tye nodded but Kris gently knocked him in the head with his knuckles. "I will go make you something then."
"I don't want your damn salads though."
"I don't have any more meat. I used all I had on her already."
Kris opened the door. "I don't care if you have to drive 8 hours to go buy meat. I want meat." He closed the door and left.
Tye grumbled in complaint. Only Hugh and he knows how to cook properly. The dishes that they ate before was not Madam Li's but what Hugh made.
"You go buy meat. I will cook." Tye tried to divide the work to Collin.
"Can't. I have a company to run because the boss had decided to take a vacation." Collin left Tye alone in the room.
The nearest store was an hour away. Tye did not want to go but he needed to anyways. If Kris was going to stay here for a few days too, he needed to feed two carnivores.
-----
As Kris demanded, the moment Keso arrived, their first physical therapy session began. Tye prepared Lena on some procedures and precaution. They spent a good amount of time talking last night about what she should and should not do.
Today, Lena was wearing similar to what she was wearing yesterday. They were just different colors. Kris wore a dark blue shirt and black pants.
Lena helped the nurse wash Gary and then they all went to the room next door to have their session.
"We will start small first." Tye spoke. He looked at Keso and James to make sure the two big men were on standby if anything horrible happens. Tye was giving all his hope that this would work. After all, this woman was a goddess, was she not?
Lena and Kris stood up in the middle of the large empty room. There were standing opposite of each other.
"Miss. Shen, try just tapping his shoulder. Like a nice pat."
"Ok."
Lena brought up her left hand to pat Kris on his right shoulder. Before she could even touch him, he swatted her hand.
"Ow." Lena stared at the man who had no reaction at all. "That will cost you 20,000."
Kris looked at the woman she was a crazy woman. "That is a ridiculous amount."
"Tye told me to charge you high so you will think twice before you do it again. Don't make me go higher, I am already generous with the amount."
Kris glared at Tye. 'This will be coming out of your paycheck!'
"Again!" Tye yelled. He felt like he was a movie director.
Kris composed himself for a pat. 'She's just like Hugh!' He tried to use that method again. At least she has her hair up today.
Lena quickly patted Kris' shoulder. It was less than a second.
"Miss. Shen, try a bit longer."
Lena looked up at Kris and she bit the bottom of her lips. This time she patted him again for a few seconds. She released her stress when she did not get swatted.
"I need a break." Kris spoke.
"Already?!" Lena was shocked. They just started and he was already needing a break? This was going to be more difficult than she imagined. Oh well, Tye told her to be patient and she will be.
Tye, on the other hand, got very worried. "Are you having trouble breathing? Are you feeling a shake coming? Are you going to faint?" He walked up to check Kris.
Kris shook his head. "I just need a break." He walked out of the room and went to a smaller room where the resting area was.
Lena was confused but she continued to stand there. Tye went and chase after Kris to make sure he was alright. Collin was not here, he was busy having a video conference.
Tye walked in the small room and closed the door. He saw Kris on the sofa. He noticed that Kris was not shaking or having any visible concerns. "Are you okay?"
"I feel like I can't breathe correctly." Kris replied. Tye walked over and sat beside Kris. He took his pulse and can tell that it was higher than normal.
"Just relax, we can try again."
Kris took in a deep breath. "Can we cover her face or something?"
"What?"
"I can't look at her. She keeps making these weird faces."
Tye's heart stopped beating because he was really concern about Kris. But, Kris needed a break because he could not look at Lena?! He told Lena to have patience but maybe he might run out of patience first. "We can't cover her face. You need to see that she's a woman."
At the word woman, Kris reacted and his hands started shaking a bit. Tye held it down. "Remember Kris, this is not for her or for us. It's for you."
