Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 1355

"You..." Jacquelin was rendered speechless and panting. She glared at Lena before turning around abruptly, only to stumble due to her high heels and twist her foot.

"Ah!" Jacquelin screamed as she stumbled forward, crashing into the wall.

The colleagues passing by stifled their laughter and quickly moved away.

Lena watched silently, shaking her head and giving Jacquelin a contemptuous look.

"Lena!" After Jacquelin steadied herself, she shouted at Lena's retreating figure, "You just wait!"

Lena waved without looking back and walked away with an air of indifference.

In reality, she really wanted to mess with this woman. During her days struggling at the bottom of society, encountering revolting people was common, so flipping the bird and using foul language had become a necessary skill for survival.

In theory, even a hundred Jacquelines wouldn't match up to her. Yet, she held back the urge to teach her a lesson at that moment. It wasn't due to anything else but her association with the Thompson Group. She couldn't embarrass Lina.

Also, she thought of someone in that brief moment.

She wondered whether he would view her differently when he saw her swearing. If he saw her like that, she might never get heart-shaped eggs in her plate again.

Lena turned the corridor's corner with a faint smile, quickly returning to her workstation. She focused on her work, leaving behind all her unhappiness.

After work, she saw Chris standing outside the company again.

She nodded at him, and he obediently followed as if he had been given a command. He stayed behind her until they had walked a considerable distance from the company. Only then did he gather the courage to walk beside her.

Although Lena's face showed no emotion, inside, she beamed like the sun.

"Uh..." Chris was cautious, testing the waters as he said softly, "Lenny..."

"What is it?"

Chris beamed. "You shouldn't have to go home so early, right?"

"I..."

"Let's have dinner first, and then I'll take you shopping for clothes!"

Without waiting for Lena's opinion, Chris took charge. He even dared to grab her... wrist, afraid she might change her mind.

Lena could not help but chuckle, allowing him to drag her by the wrist through the streets.

The setting sun dyed the clouds on the horizon red and gently tinted her cheeks as well.

Chris wasn't used to shopping, and Lena rarely went to busy places like this. Now, in the middle of a crowd, they both felt uncomfortable. They walked awkwardly, glancing around like aliens. Suddenly, they turned their heads and locked eyes, bursting into laughter together.

Chris led her into the DL Mall.

Although it was already part of the Hamertons' domain, the manager and employees were still slightly taken aback when they saw Chris. They all knew that this Hamerton heir never stepped into a shopping mall.

Upon seeing that Chris not only came to the mall in person but also had a young woman with him, their jaws dropped even further. They had no idea who the young lady was, but she seemed to have managed what no one else could taming the free-spirited Mr. Special Forces.

"Mr. Hamerton!" The manager bowed 90 degrees and personally greeted them, "May I ask what you'd like to buy?"

"Pick a few outfits for this young lady, as well as shoes, bags, and makeup." Chris looked at Lena and smiled lightly. "They should emphasize her temperament, highlight her beauty, and...

"I want the most expensive ones!"

The manager was briefly stunned before he grinned.

As Lena tried on clothes, Chris waited on the side, video-calling Zuko.

Originally, he intended to call him and ask for some advice. What else could he do to win over a girl's heart besides buying gifts?
