Chapter 256 - Think again

"Let her go." Kris commanded.

With his fierce instruction, Lena immediately let the woman go. Lena quickly walked over the woman, who was sprawled onto the floor. Lena ran and hugged him.

"I was so scared!!!" She whimpered...obviously not real.

The woman got up, panting as she patted her chest. "You, you almost killed me!"

"Becca!" Kris shouted her name.

"You know her?" Lena stopped hugging and looked up at him. "I was so scared for my life, and you know her?! I thought I was the only woman allowed here!"

"Babe... you are the only one allow up here." Kris consoled her, trying to hug her again but Lena refused it. He glared at Becca, who stared at the couple with ill-intent. "You dare break into your boss' private home?"

"I----" Becca looked at Lena, who obviously smirked for one second then hid it. 'This woman! She is faking her stupid act so Kris is on her side. He was right to say that she was a danger to him.'

"I am sorry, boss!" Becca held her stomach to which both Kris and Lena saw that she was bleeding. "I got hurt and almost compromised my mission. I had to go somewhere safe, I thought you would be with your mother so I snuck in..."

Kris looked at Becca, but his expression was stern, not showing what he was even thinking about.

"Ah.. I am so sorry." Lena spoke. "I didn't know she was injured and I... I even hurt her some more. I didn't know she worked for you."

"It's not your fault." Kris patted Lena's head then kissed it. "It's my fault for allowing someone inside to scare you."

"I am very sorry for scaring you, Miss. Shen. You were only defending yourself, my stab wound is only minor to your health and security."

Lena looked at Becca and saw that this time, the woman smirked at her. 'This woman... does she think playing compliant will work on Kris? Please, I am the ace of babying my man. You'll never achieve that.'

"Lena... Why don't you go get some warm water and the first aid kit?" Kris asked.

"Ok."

When Lena left, Kris closed the door tight and then turned to look at Becca. His unemotional and sweeter side immediately turned cold and infuriated.

"You dare lie in front of me?!" His words send down a cold shill down Becca's spine. "Tell me, why are you here? What is so important that you disobeyed commands and to even jump out of a helicopter to enter my home?"

"I..." Becca instantly got onto the ground. She knew that she needed to choose her next words wisely. "Ace. I heard that he came back and approached you. If he is here, then I should be here with you. We don't know what he is up to."

"We?? Do you seriously think that your presence here can change anything? Ace is not a threat to me, but people who cannot obey my commands are."

"Please, I won't do it again. Tyler is in City A so I needed to be here. I was careless when I tried to enter his underground base to steal some information."

"Why are you so careless all of a sudden? You have been tasked to stay close with Tyler for almost two years now... I have told you countless time to be patient. This isn't something you can mess up."

"I understand... It won't happen again. I will not jeopardize the mission." She got up.

"And..." Kris walked closer to her and Becca swallowed. "How do you even know... Miss. Shen?"

Becca slipped and called Lena that before. "The news... and the men at work."

"I see... and are they the one who helped you hack into the system too?"

Becca's heart stopped. How did Kris know?

From her reaction, Kris got his answer. He grabbed her neck and squeezed it. He was hurting her but she did not make a sound...

"Did you think that because I can touch women now... I'll be soft on you?" Kris squeezed her neck more. "I don't like people who are disobedient to me. You will call her Lady Boss, and no other names. You should know very well what I do with useless people."

Lena knocked on the door and Kris released his hold on Becca. Lena opened the door and brought in some hot water and the first aid kit.

"You can leave them there, she'll take care of herself." Kris spoke and held Lena's waist. He walked them out of the room and closed the door.

Becca watched them leave and clenched her fists... her nails digging into her skin.

Kris sat on the sofa with Lena and hugged her tightly from behind. He smelled her sweet scent and sighed.

"I was so scared... what would I do if something bad happens to you?" Kris whispered to her ear.

"Tsk...before it was a woman posing pictures with you and now there is a half-naked woman in your room. The question is... what should I do to YOU?" Lena replied.

Kris smiled and held her tighter. "You can do anything... like ANYTHING." He nudged Lena's butt.

"The doctor said none of that. I guess that is your punishment."

"But really though..." Kris loosened his hold on Lena. "I like when you are cute and cuddly, even if you are just pretending."

"Did you know she pointed a gun at me?"

"What?!" Kris got serious. 'That woman.... I need to punish her severely after today.'

"And I landed a good hit on her. Did you see her face?" Lena smiled.

"You knew her though... didn't you? The moment you saw her."

Lena turned around and looked at Kris. "Of course, you showed me a picture before, that day you took me out to the middle of nowhere. She looked prettier in the pictures... just saying."

"She disobeyed my commands, jeopardizing her mission and disrespected her lady boss, I'll make sure she gets properly disciplined and punished." Kris kissed Lena's cheeks.

"I am not going to tell you how to handle your own people. But I can tell you how I am going to handle you."

Lena placed a hand on Kris's neck, and pulled him close for a kiss. She captured his lips.

"Is this. How. You are. Handling me?" Kris spoke, in between the kisses.

"After. You just look very bad*ss hot right now."

Kris smiled at her before capturing her lips. Unlike her, he dived in deeper, spreading the hint of wine that he had before rushing over here.

Lena could taste the sweet wine from Kris. She heard the door open from the bedroom, and that only made her tug Kris closer to her, deepening the kiss between them.

Kris also heard the door open and Becca stepping out of the room. If Lena wants a show, he does not mind. He put tighten his hands on her waist and bent her over a bit, just so he can get a deeper kiss from her.

Becca did not think they would continue when she entered the living room, but they kept going, ignoring her like she did not exist.

It was not after a few long minutes that Kris finally let Lena go. She was breathless and he was... well, just the usually him, like a man who could never get enough.

"You're done?" Kris still nibbling a few kisses on Lena's forehead. "You can leave then. Stay at the safe house in City A for awhile if you want."

"It's late." Lena pulled away from Kris. "And she's hurt. She should stay here tonight."

Kris looked at Lena in confusion. 'Doesn't she want her gone....? What are you up to this time... you mischevious tigress.'
