Chapter 216 - Lady Boss

Lena does not drive much nor go out a lot from other than City A and visiting her family in City Z. She knew the big roads to go to popular places and other nearby cities but Kris was driving on small roads.

They past forests, met a small town, and continued to drive towards the mountains. They continued to drive for three hours before they were finally in the middle of nowhere. Well, it must be somewhere but Lena definitely doesn't see any houses here nor anything interesting.

They passed a gated area awhile back but they continued to drive deeper into the mountainous forest. The road finally stopped at a gate that was closed off. It was built inside a large mountain so they must be going into a tunnel next, Lena assumed.

Kris unwrapped his hand from Lena's hold and typed in some keycode in the number pad on his screen in his car. The gate opened and he drove in.

When they entered, the gate opened them to a room just to fit a large car. It was not a tunnel. Kris turned and look at Lena.

"Are you ready?"

She met his eyes and replied with no hesitation. "Yes."

After a few seconds, the room suddenly went down instead. So the room was an elevator. It was awhile before they reached the bottom. Lena did not know how deep underground they were in. They must be very deep underground, even the connection on Kris' car was not functioning.

The gate opened again and Kris drove a bit further before they arrived at a large parking lot. There were underground lighting everywhere and there were several cars there too. Some were a military-looking car and others were normal.

Kris got out of the car and opened the door for Lena. She slowly got out as she observed the place more. Even though it was light up, the place was still somewhat dark and gloomy. She looked down at her beautiful knee-length dress and her high heels.

"You're dressed fine." Kris assured her.

"Ok...." If he said so then she trusted him.

He put a hand around her waist and guide her to an elevator door. "I'll give you a tour. The journey starts here. This is my past, present, and future."

Lena stared right back at him. Without a sense of fear nor doubt, she said, "I am your past, present, and future."

Kris kissed her on the forehead and then with his right hand, scanned it on the security pad. The elevator door opened and they both walked in. The elevator was entirely made out of glass. Lena could see a ginormous room.

They were still doing down the elevator. The enormous room had several machines, jets, and other type of equipment. She spotted some people working on the floor. There were massive carts carrying weapons.

She recognized some guns that James had identified for her but the rest looks like they were heavy-duty weaponry.

"This is Area 2. The secondary underground base of the Li Family. The Li Family only had one but after I took over, I made a total of 5 areas for our security and work." Kris explained as the elevator slowly went down.

"And this is.... legal?"

The elevator stopped and Kris unwrapped his hand on her waist. He walked out first and held out a hand to Lena for her to hold it. She was still inside the elevator.

"No." He chuckled.

Lena smiled and took his hand. "I am already you raccomplice from before, remember? A little illegal doesn't hurt."

Kris held her hand tightly and raised a brow. "A little?"

"Ok, fine. like 80%."

Kris laughed at Lena. "So what about the other 20%?"

"Well that is when we drive the correct speed limit, and pay for the food we eat. You know, the other things that we do."

"Like in bed?"

"Yes, that. I am of age, you know?"

"I'll make note of that." Kris replied and led her down to the main area.

A few men hurriedly rushed toward both of them. They quickly bowed down and greeted them.

"BOSS!!"

The stood up straight and looked at the fancy woman next to their boss. Kris was sweetly holding her hand and she was very close to them. They had worked with Kris for 10 years now and their boss had never touched a woman directly.

They were very focused on checking Lena out, she awkwardly smiled. She knew that they probably had never seen Kris so close to another woman. She wanted to laugh out very loud but restrained herself.

Lena cleared her throat and held out a hand for a handshake. "Hello, I am Lena Shen."

Kris quickly held her hand back. "You don't need to shake their hands." He glared at the men who stopped checking Lena out. He all lowered their head again.

"Greet your Lady Boss."

Lena smiled. She liked that name. Not very much of her workers called her "boss" as she usually preferred being called "Miss. Shen." A few times she would be called boss but Lady boss sounds like she was a mafia queen.

The group of men quickly lowered their head. "Welcome, Lady Boss!"

"You're workers are so cute." Lena was very satisfied with the trip so far.

Kris frowned and the workers did the same. What did the lady boss find cute about them? They were big macho men who had done so many horrible things that this young lady would never have imagined.

"Am I not cute?" Kris asked.

"Well of course. When we are in bed, you're the cutest." Lena shamelessly pointed out and pinched his cheek.

She felt that with Kris, she did not need to hide. Between them, there is nothing to be shy about. She might be shy about talking with Hazel or her mom, but with Kris, she felt like she can be open and free.

"There is a bed here. We can go see who is the cutest one." Kris suggested.

"We just started the tour. You have not shown me where they eat, use the bathroom, nor kill people."

The men stared at the shameless young lady and how she interacted with their boss. They had seen Kris smiled before, but that was just his way to kill them later on. A master killer can act flawlessly if needed.

But right now, their boss was real. There was nothing fake about his attraction to the Lady Boss. The Lady Boss also have many masks of her own. Although she looked amazingly beautiful and innocent, she was definitely not all that.

She already knew that they have a place where they kill people here. Obviously, if Kris was to bring his woman here, she would already know what kind of man Kris was. Although they don't know everything about their boss, he was a man who they would not hesitate to kill another person for.

To have someone love Kris they way he is right now or just any of them, it would take a certain type of woman. Just from their small interaction with Lena, they already accepted her fully as their Lady Boss.

"Oh! Keso's here too!" Lena dragged Kris and they walked toward Keso. She released her hand holding Kris' hand and hugged Keso.

"Miss. Shen! Hello." Keso greeted her.

Kris was not much of a concern about Lena's interaction with some specific people. She was a woman who liked to hug people and shake hands with them. As her man, he should understand and accept her the way she is.

There are some types of people that he cannot allow her to interact with them in such ways. Keso was fine. He was like James to Lena, a protective big brother.

Lena released her hug from Keso and went back to hold Kris' hand.

"Is everything ready for today?" Kris asked Keso.
