Chapter 4: Apologize

The sun shines brightly through the cracks from the curtains.. slowly heating up the face of Lena.

"Ugh" Lena tossed a few times before opening her eye. Her heads hurt a bit, probably a minor hangover since the old Lena drank a lot before causing trouble.

'Wait... old Lena?!' Lena quickly got up. Looked at herself in the mirror and held her head.

'It's not a dream... I am really just here! Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my dear god! What did I do yesterday?'

Lena pondered her actions yesterday. She also laid back on the bed going through all the memories of Lena. Her heart was pounding from all the spurge of emotions she was feeling.

*Knock knock* "Miss... your father wants you down."

"Ah, just let me shower and I will be right down." Lena smiled.

Lena got into the shower to calm herself down. She also did not shower last night when she came home so she smelled a bit. She allowed the water to run when she realized that she kissed a man she should have not touched or even looked at.

'Ugh... why did I not go for someone else...' She bumped her head on the shower wall a few times. She got out and dried herself before grabbing something nice from Lena's ginormous closet. She headed downstairs where her parents were waiting for her.

Lena quickly kneeled on the floor and pleaded. "Father, your daughter was wronged."

She had enough time in the shower to thought about how to get out of this situation. She clearly figured out who she had offended yesterday. And she knows that both of them would probably attack her father's business.

"Lena.." Her father, Shen Mao, quickly helped her stand up. "Come here... no matter what you did wrong, I can never yell at you."

Lena looked at her "father" in astonishment. 'Wow, this dad is very loving, but no wonder the old Lena was so spoiled.'

"Do not worry about the company, I can handle these small matters." Shen Mao assured Lena.

'SMALL MATTERS?!' Shen Milli was screaming in her head. Shen Milli only had one daughter, Lena, and she has caused yet more trouble for the family. This time though, it was not something simple that small discussions can resolve. The Yangs threw some warnings at their company and the Lis pulled out ALL of their business with them. It was not a small issue.

Lena smiled. She just remembered that she too has a real family. She missed them but at least she has a loving one here too.

"I am sorry Father. I will not cause any more trouble for the family."

Shen Milli stood up and went to her daughter's side. She sighed. "Lena... you should go live with your grandparents for awhile."

"No!" Lena objected.

"I know you do not like going to the vineyard... but your father needs to handle these matter and you need to--"

"No Mother! I brought this to us, I can fix it."

Shen Milli scrunched up her brows. Did her spoiled daughter who never cared about anything but fashion and Andy, said that she will fix this. Shen Milli was doubtful of her words, but the looks on Lena's eyes were strongly telling her that Lena will fix this situation.

"I know that before I was just playing around, but this time, it is something big. If you both keep hiding me away, then I will never learn. How am I supposed to take over after Father if I am useless? I am an adult now, at least for now, let me help."

"Lili... you have never dealt anything with the company tho." Shen Mao spoke. Lili was the childhood nickname he uses to call her.

"You are right Father, but you didn't spend money for me to go to school for nothing. Remember, I did study business and graduate. Even though I was not a top graduate, I did not do so bad."

"I know... but this isn't a small matter that you have experience with. I am just worry that it will stress you out more."

"I know Father. How about this, you can deal with the shareholders, and I can get the Li to retract their ban."

Shen Mao was shocked that Lena was compromising with him. He was still not sure if Lena is ready though. She has no experience in the real business circle.

"Just give me a chance. I know that if I just apologized to the Young Master Li... he will be sincere about it. After all, the Li business needs our wine industry to flourish. No other company makes as elegant wine as we do."

What Lena said was indeed correct. Although Shen Wine Industry was taking a major blow from the ban, in the long run, the Li business will have a blow too as their business heavily relied on wine.

The Shen family wine industry also has a strong and unique chemistry of wine that no other company can compete with. So even with the Li business out, there are still other companies to support them. After all, wine is a very demanded commodity in high society.

"Very well... but just this once. If the situation gets worse, you will immediately go to City Z and learn there."

"Thank you, Father, for trusting me one more time. I will not fail you." Lena smiled confidently.

"Your mother and I will go to the company. You eat first before you go out. Make sure to dress appropriately."

"Yes, I know."

Lena went to eat breakfast while her parents head to the company.

'Apology, my a**. Who does he think he is... he is playing with a "vicious" lady.'
