*keep your friends close and your enemies closer*
~•~
Lee went to his company, he entered through his private elevator as he headed to the club where the party was held two days ago.
He approached the bar attendant showing him the picture of last night asking him about the lady in pink suit.
The bar attendant stared at the picture for a while before saying "The cloth looks familiar but I can't remember, they were lots of people yesterday and it is hard to tell who is who. I can't tell and her face is backing the camera. I'm sorry boss."
"Alright." Lee said, he turned around and left.
He left his club and drove to his family house arriving there he met his niece.
"Hey, why aren't you in school?." Lee bent down to talk to his little niece.
"Hey uncle." she greeted him and looked down, she stared at everywhere except him.
"Why weren't you in school?." Lee repeated himself but calmly as he wouldn't want to scare her.
"She was suspended." lee's grandma said.
"Why?." He said.
"Go ahead ask her." Lee's grandma said in anger.
He turned to his niece and she began to cry "It wasn't my fault, mummy told me not to talk to Akio, she said his mom was a slut." Lee's niece said and ran to her room.
Lee was stunned "what does she mean?."
"Well your mother is at it again, spoiling your late brother's child. Now look at what she has done this is a slap to us." Grandma said with pain in her eyes.
"Hm." Lee was in deep thought.
"We are just fortunate that the kids mother or whoever the lady is, is a nice person and she didn't meet the media company." Grandma said and held her head.
"I'll ensure to apologize to her and I'll talk to cheng." he said as he strolled to his niece room.
Grandma looked at him and smiled happily, she is really glad he was back home.
Lee went to cheng's room and sat next to her as he stared at the doll in front of them.
"Cheng." He called her softly.
"Yes uncle." Cheng replied but still covered her eyes.
"Is wrong to talk about people's life that way, you insulted your classmate who is supposed to be your friend about how he doesn't have a dad knowing fully well you don't have one either." Lee said to her calmly.
Cheng bent over to him as she cried "I miss my dad."
"I know Cheng but that doesn't make you insult others to make yourself feel better." Lee said as he held her up.
"I'm really sorry uncle lee, I don't know what came over me I shouldn't have listened to grandma, great grandma was right." Cheng said as she cried out.
"It's fine, I'll drive you to school tomorrow. Make sure you apologize alright."
"Ok uncle." Cheng nodded.
Lee coaxed her till she stopped crying and then went to his room where he saw lei waiting for him.
"Hey." Lei said when he saw lee.
"Wassup lei." Lee said as he lend by the door.
"I got a trail on the lady at the club that night." Lei informed lee about his findings.
"Really." Lee said calmly not showing any emotion at all.
"Yes."
"How did you find her lei."
"We found a lady with the same physical description you gave, she happened to be at the club that night but didn't take any pictures too and she had left earlier than the rest she isn't Asian and some guards said they saw her that night. She had all the descriptions and all fingers pointing at her, so we went into more digging and realized that she's the one, even one of the ladies in the club attested to it too." Lei replied.
"That's weird." Lee replied.
"I know but the whole discription fit." Lei tried to make him understand.
"Alright find her way about." Lee ordered.
"I'm on that." Lei replied.
"Hmm ok." He said simply.
"I heard you sighed an alliance with the lu firm." Lei said.
"Hmm." Lee replied simply.
"Why would you do that, have you forgotten what they did to you?." Lei said with pain in his eyes.
"I haven't I'm just keeping my enemies closer." Lee shrugged.
"After you destroyed his company, it took time for him to get back on his feet I even heard he sold it to a friend." Lei said.
Lee nodded softly as he didn't want to talk about the past
Lei got the message and changed the topic "Why are you here tho."
Lee glanced at him and sighed "Running away from Lisa." He sighed.
Lei burst into laughter "Lisa….Lisa, the celebrity Lisa?."
Lee glanced at him and then went straight to his bed.
Lee groaned and said "I feel empty."
"Huh." Lei was stunned by his statement who will be empty when he has pretty celebrities crowding them huh
"I also feel my house, my home is too empty." Lee murmured.
"What do you mean, are you drunk or something." Lei said.
"Lisa is forcing me to get engaged to her." Le said as he looked up to lei.
"What?? Isn't she aware you don't do commitments." Lei said calmly, as he wouldn't want anyone else to her him.
"She does."lee said as he closed his eyes.
"Then why is she insisting." Lei said.
"I don't know." Lee said
"What do you mean by you don't know, didn't she sign the documents." Lei said with a frown on his face.
"She did." Lee replied.
"So is she dumb, didn't she go through it." Lei said as he didn't want Lisa for his friend.
"Good night." lee said and didn't say anything else as he didn't wish to continue the conversation.
"Mhm." lei said and left.
