Chapter 138 - Blindfold

After the long trip, it was time to go home. Lena still had her meeting with Kris. Since they both drove separately here, they both went their own ways. Lena parked her car in the underground parking lot and head up to her apartment. She took a quick shower and then called Noah to send her the video on the argument between Andy and Eva.

After the call, her hair was still kind of wet but she went up to Kris' penthouse regardless. She knocked on the door and Keso immediately opened the door.

"Hello, Keso!"

Lena walked in and noticed Kris sitting down on the sofa. A SOFA!!!

"Mr. Li! Your brain got smarter!"

Kris scowl at Lena not because she told him that he got smarter, but because she is still calling him Mr. Li. He stood up and walked in front of Lena. "Why do you call me Mr. Li?"

"Because we are not friends?"

"Are you friends with Keso?"

"Keso let me call him Keso, isn't that right Keso?"

Keso looked at Kris then back at Lena. He nodded.

"See, Keso lets me call him Keso."

Kris was getting irritated by the name Keso. "Then we are friends, you can call me Kris."

Lena squinted her eyes at Kris…. He did get smarter today. She was just gone for 24 hours and Kris has evolved. "Ok. You are allowed to call me Lena too."

Kris smiled at the approval. He walked back to his decorated living room. He had a team of professional decorate his house in the time that Lena was not here. He felt that since he may be staying here more, he should make this place more lively. He felt kind of sad seeing Lena sit on the ground every time she was tired.

"Oh… And I sent you your first paycheck too."

Lena's eyes lite up. She gave him his bill on Thursday and they had a minor argument on what was valid and what was not valid as pain. Of course, Lena won. Lena was not in need of money, but the more the merrier. She could always buy new dresses. She needed a new dress for the Woman's Fashion show next week.

Kris could see that Lena was very happy to receive the money. Did she like money that much? She was not even poor.

"Let's play a game." Lena started the session.

"A game?"

"Yeah." Lena walked up to Kris. "You will be blindfolded and I will lead you throughout your house. You can get to learn more about your house."

Kris paused. Him being blindfold. He felt that Lena would do something to him.

"It will also build your trust for me. Because you have to trust me that I will not lead you into a wall."

"I am fine with that." Kris smiled.

Lena does not know that even if Kris was blindfolded, he can tell if he was going to hit a wall or not. The darkness was not an obstacle to his movements. Kris went to his room and brought back a cloth. Keso tied it on Kris' eyes. Lena moved her hand on his face to make sure that he was fully blind.

She grabbed his hand and the game began. Kris could feel her warm hand holding his. Her hands were smaller but he gripped her hands so she would not lose him. He closed his eyes, even though he was blindfolded. He could smell the rosey body wash from her. Her hair was still somewhat wet when she came in, so she must have just gotten out of the shower.

Just a few minutes into the game and Kris already tripped and fell on Lena. In Kris hallway to his bedroom, there is a step that a person has to take. Lena warned Kris where they were going and for him to light up his steps. But somehow, he still tripped and his weight came crashing over Lena.

"Idiot! I said to lift your feet not slide it."

Kris was thinking too much about their hands that he did not hear anything Lena said before.

"You're heavy. Get up… up!"

Kris removed his blindfold and saw that he was squishing Lena on the floor. He fell down on her back and she was wiggling like superman on the floor. Kris propped his hands and slowly got off Lena.

"You are a bad leader." Kris spoke.

Lena stood up and pat her clothes. "Me?! Put your blindfold back on." Lena put his blindfold back on and tightly tied the knot on the back.

This time, Lena went so slow… Kris felt like he should drag Lena around the place instead. Each time they entered a room, Lena would ask questions on why things were placed here and tell Kris to feel his setting. After going around the room, Lena would stop holding Kris. She spun him five times and tell him to walk out of the room himself.

Kris felt like this was another childish game but this was more fun than dancing. After the game, they should be dancing but the dancing room was not full of exercise equipment. Lena shrugged and said that the game was enough.

"I feel like you don't need anymore," Lena told Kris as they sat in his living room.

"Why so?"

"I think you can touch me fine. I think what you need is to try it with someone else."

"Yeah." Kris looked up at Keso. Keso had said the same thing to Kris this morning. "I have a business trip tomorrow until Friday."

"Oh? So I won't see you then. You should try to work hard... the birthday is coming up soon, right?"

"Yeah." The birthday was coming up soon. Although Kris felt comfortable with Lena now, he does not know if it is the same with someone else.

"By the way, you have any guns here?"

He looked up to Lena. "Why?"

"Just wondering if you have a secret stash. James is teaching me guns. He said that most men have a secret stash of guns."

"I do. You wanna see?" Kris stood up. Lena smiled and followed him.

"Is it hidden in your closet?"

Kris laughed. "No."

He walked up the stairs to the rooftop. Lena was more curious where this hidden stash was. When Kris was blindfold, she was already searching his house for a secret button. Kris obviously felt that Lena was acting weird but he did not know that it was about a secret stash of guns.

They walked to the hot tub. Kris put his arm into the water and hit a lever. At that moment, the hot tube moved from its place secret room with a staircase was seen.

"This is better than in the dramas."

Lena followed Kris. The steps down were steep so Kris went first and held a hand for Lena. She took it. Keso also followed them in. He himself has not been in Kris' secret room. Only Collin and Hugh had.

When they finally reach the bottom, Lena could see a bunch of guns handing in locked containers. There were several computer screens too. Lena tried to picture where this room would be located relative to Kris' penthouse but she could now.

Kris opened a drawer and it displayed a collection of pistols. "You want to hold one."

"Sure."

Kris handed a gun to Lena. Lena took it and look to make sure the safety was on. She would not want to shoot something already. The gun was lighter than the ones James showed her earlier today. She looked sideways on the gun and it had an engravement on it, Reina.
