Lena's Homeless Sacrifice

Chapter 13 - Lena's Decision

Lunch time eventually arrives, and Kara, Keiran and Jess all eat some Big Belly Burger. Kara did ask Keiran what she wanted to eat for lunch, but the homeless woman wasn't really sure, and didn't feel too comfortable picking what the three of them would be eating for lunch, so Kara eventually made the decision for them. Thankfully, the decision seemed to be a good one, as Keiran was very happy with her burger, telling Kara just how nice it was, while Jess also enjoyed her burger too. Then to top it off, ordering Big Belly Burger was a success because they sold some dog treat cookies which Kara ordered and gave to Krypto for a snack over lunchtime, which he enjoyed very much.

While Kara, Keiran and Jess eat their lunch, the trio have talked about a few light topics, and during it all Keiran has got more and more comfortable with Jess. Keiran very much has begun to understand that Jess might be one of the sweetest people that she has ever met, as she always gave Keiran her complete attention while she was talking, and engaged with her in discussions about the topics she talked about.

Eventually, 1PM draws near and the three ladies finish their lunch, with Kara asking Jess to take their rubbish and throw it away in the trash outside of her office. In reality Kara's reasoning for asking Jess to do that was so she could talk to Keiran and ask her if she is comfortable spending the next few hours with Jess, and not having to ask the question in front of Jess and make Keiran uncomfortable, and like she has to say yes.

"Hey." Kara smiles at Keiran, once Jess leaves the office.

"Hi." Keiran smiles back.

"So, will you be okay spending time with Jess over the next few hours?" Kara asks.

"Uhhh, yeah." Keiran replies, nodding her head, "She seems very nice."

"Oh she is." Kara agrees, "I don't think I would survive being a CEO without her."

Keiran chuckles.

"I'm sure you'd find some way to manage." Keiran replies, with a smile.

"Thank you." Kara says.

Kara and Keiran then remain in their moment until Kara looks at the time on her phone and realises she has to leave for her meeting.

"Well, I have to leave for my meeting now. I'll be back just after 4. If you need anything, please, just ask Jess for it, no matter what." Kara says.

"Okay." Keiran nods, "Thank you Kara."

"You're welcome." Kara smiles as she stands up from the couch. "Actually, maybe Jess can take you on a tour of El-Corp while I'm gone. You can leave Krypto in my office while you do, and lock the door. The only people who have access to the key to my office are Alex, Jess and I, so he will be safe."

"Yeah..... okay..... I think I'd like that." Keiran smiles, politely.

"Good." Kara smiles back and then checks the time again. "Now I really have to get going or I'm going to be late. I'll see you in a bit Keiran."

"Okay, bye Kara. Have fun at your meetings." Keiran says.

"I'll try to." Kara replies.

Kara then leaves her office, even though she really doesn't want to, and not only because she very much dislikes meetings. Kara just really doesn't want to leave Keiran's side for too long, but she knows she has to, she just hopes nothing happens while she is gone that might scare the homeless woman off or something.

**************

Over the next hour, after Kara leaves her office, Keiran spends time in Kara's office, still on the laptop that the CEO had provided her with, looking up a few things to keep her entertained. At the same time, Keiran strokes Krypto, who has once more taken a position on the couch next to Keiran. Over the hour Jess pops into the office on a few occasions, just asking Keiran if she needs anything, which she politely responds by saying she doesn't.
