Chapter 253 - He's not my pet

When they both met up, Hazel took Lena out to get a professional look done. Although the event was nothing major for Lena, it was a good time for Hazel and Lena to just hang out.

Lena never went to many VIP private stores to get her to look done unless she as with Hazel.

'Should I start investing in a VIP membership... since I am with Kris now?' Lena pondered as she flipped over the fashion magazine, waiting for Hazel to come out of the changing room.

"Are you seriously wearing that?" Hazel came out of the dressing room.

"Yes...?" Lena glanced down at her dress. It looked completely fine to her. She told the dresser that she did not want something too fancy. It's not her star debut, she was just a guest.

"Your Kris will be there. You need to dress to impress."

"I only need to impress him, not anyone else."

"Good. Then I'll choose something to surely impress him. C'mon!" Hazel dragged Lena back to the changing room and picked a different dress for her.

Finally after another hour of final touches, Hazel and Lena arrived at the movie premiere. There were many reporters there as the cast had many famous actors and actresses.

Lena texted Kris before and he replied that he would be coming a bit late.

Hazel got out of the car first, catching the attention of the reporters and paparazzi.

"It's Hazel! She staring in Miss. Lui's next film."

The lights start flickering toward Lena as she got out of the car next. She had been to many events with Hazel, but she'll never get used to the lights.

As she stepped out, she wore a long, one-shoulder dress, with an opening just the correct length to showcase the beauty of her legs: strong and sexy.

"Look! It's Lena Shen."

"Isn't she dating Mr. Li now? I need to get a picture of her."

Lena smiled at the cameras and walked slowly with Hazel. Hazel would stop every so often to allow them to take photos of her, thus Lena too.

"Why isn't she here with Mr. Li instead?"

"She always comes to these events with the actress, they are best friends."

"Eh? Maybe her relationship with Mr. Li isn't as good as the rumors."

Hazel and Lena finally walked past the entrance. Hazel quickly held Lena's hand.

"Don't listen to them... they only want hot news. Plus, if you ditched me for him, I would chop off his ding dong and you would leave him so quickly, you won't remember him."

"Geez... And I thought Kris was possessive. My girlfriend is on the same level."

"Of course! You attract devils." Hazel smiled.

They stopped and had a chat with Elizabeth and Henry before they entered the event room. Hazel quickly mingled with some models and actresses as Lena trailed along.

"Hazel!" The girls greeted her.

"Lily..." Hazel smiled back at her. "Didn't think you would be here."

"Why? Becuase you caught the role of Director Liu's next project instead of me?"

Hazel smirked back at the actress. Of course, Hazel loves snatching things from Lily.

"You probably only got the role because of little Miss. Shen. Her secretary is dating the director."

"Excuse me, Lady... He's not my secretary nor is he a secretary. I would watch what you say in front of me." Lena remarked.

"Please... don't call me lady. You think that your pretend boyfriend is Kris Li now, that you can throw your shades around? You didn't even come to the event with him... and you call yourself dating him."

"I didn't see a law that says girlfriend must-attend events with boyfriend." Lena turned to Hazel. "Did a new law gets passed that I did not know about?"

"You---" Lily pointed her finger at Lena. "Of course it's not a law."

"Well then, I don't see why it is your business to say whether I attend events with him or not."

Lily put her hand down and walked closer to Lena. "I was just trying to help you keep up your image. You lose your first man to pauper... maybe because you didn't keep him close enough to you."

"...." Lena stared at the woman.

"Aw... You must of not heard. Didn't you know Kris Li arrived with a different woman?"

'Someone else..?' Lena's heart stopped for a second. 'He told me he was going to be late... He did not mention coming with someone. He wouldn't lie to me.'

"So.... He can come with whomever he wants to, the same as me. Plus, he's not my pet that I need to chain around and have him walk next to me.?"

"Who's your pet?"

All the girls looked at where the voice came. Kris casually walked in and toward them. He smiled at Lena, put a hand on her waist, brought his head to her, and gave her a kiss on the forehead.

"What did I miss?" His hand was still on her waist.

"CEO Li!" Lily greeted him first. "We were just talking. Didn't you come with Nina Long?"

'Nina? Isn't she that stupid lawyer that I met when I was at the Elder Li's house?' Lena glanced at Kris. She was curious too.

"I did?" Kris replied, pulling Lena closer to him. "I came alone. Unless you were talking about that weird girl who kept posing pictures with me. I didn't come with her... she probably just want some front-page news because I am amazing like that."

Nina waiting on the streets until she knew that Kris' car was arriving. She purposely arrived on time with him so she could take some pictures with the man. When they entered the event room, she went to grab some drinks for them.

As she was bringing them back, she heard what Kris said... she immediately felt shameful and turned around.

Lily, on the other hand, just awkwardly smile. "I see... ahaha.... why didn't you come with Miss. Shen?"

"Was there a new law that passed about couples attending events together? Am I getting charged?" Kris glanced at Lena and then at Hazel.

Both of them tried not to laugh.

"Ah.. Since you are here, I'll let you spend time with Miss. Shen... I have something to do anyways." Lily quickly left.
