A few hours earlier, a tall woman angrily walked through the hall on the top floor of Park Group and glared at the secretary who was at her desk. The woman only had to give the secretary the eye and she was allowed to push the huge wooden door to the right and enter the CEO"s office.
"I hate her! I"m so sick of her!"
Lexi Jin yelled and barged inside William Park"s office. She had slammed the door open with a loud bang, disturbing the discussion that William had with his subordinate.
William"s head snapped to the door and saw the fury on her expression. What happened this time? Turning to the man in front of him, he said, "Deliver what was promised, as for the other concerns, I"ll meet you again first thing tomorrow. You may leave."
The employee scurried away, not daring to look at the woman who just entered and closed the door on his way out. One thing that he knew very well regarding the Park Family was that they value their privacy, so whatever he saw just now, despite recognizing the woman who just entered, he could never speak about it to anyone.
Lexi tossed her purse on the sofa and stood by the window. She had her arms crossed in front of her and had a sour expression as she watched the city below her. After her shooting at the Crown Resort, she went straight to Park Group and complained to William. Since she had been gone for many years, she didn"t really have a lot of friends in the country, which was why whenever she felt bored, she would always seek out William"s company.
Walking towards her, he saw how angry she was. He didn"t like it when Lexi was like this as she would become really unreasonable. But being with her for years, he had already learned how to pacify this woman and he was not going to let it pa.s.s. So, he slid his hands on her waist before pressing a kiss on her cheek.
"What"s wrong?" he asked, her slightly sun-kissed skin from working under the light on the beach all day didn"t slip past his notice.
"I hate that stupid secretary! I want her gone!" she spat while the scene from earlier when Damien kissed Katherine in front of everyone played in her mind.
Lexi didn"t have to mention a name for William to know who she was talking about. "What did she do this time?" He brushed the hair away from her neck and started kissing her there but Lexi pushed him away, walked towards the sofa and sat there with an angry face.
"She ruined my day! She had Matthew and Damien wrapped around her finger! Even sweet Caleb was always by her side! And that stupid Damien kissed her in public! Ugh!" she groaned in frustration. "I really can"t stand her, Will. She"s too much! What do they see in her?!"
Shaking his head, he followed her to the sofa and sat next to her, clicking his tongue as he watched how exasperated she was. "Looks like my cousin has really fallen head over heels with Ms. Miller. I can"t blame them, though… I mean… who could resist her?" William recalled the times when he saw Katherine in s.e.xy dresses. Her figure was imprinted in his brain.
Lexi glared at him, irritated that he was also l.u.s.ting over that woman. How gross! "You"re not helping!" she bit out.
Ever since they were young, she had been close to the boys in the Park family. Though she had been in love with Damien, she was also really close to William. She and William were practically best friends growing up, which was why she would tell him everything. She knew that he had a thing for tall brunettes and that secretary definitely fits every angle.
"Don"t be jealous. No one can beat you." William instantly reached for her hand and kissed it. "What do you want me to do?"
Retracting her hand, she crossed her arms and slumped on the backrest of the leather sofa. She couldn"t get rid of the scene that she witnessed earlier at the resort. Damien never kissed her like that. Not ever! "How could he do that to that woman? How could he do that to me? He knew I was there so he did that on purpose! That"s right!" she bitterly said in her delusional mind.
"I don"t know... Anything! I want her gone! Out of his life! I"m so sick of her!" she fumed.
A cunning and evil smile formed on William"s handsome face. A truly sickening sight to see on him because of how his thoughts worked. He cupped her face and made her look at him.
"That will be easy. You don"t even have to sweat about it. But I can"t do it for free, Lexi… wouldn"t that be unfair?" He leaned forward and kissed her lips while his hands started to freely roam over the front of her body — this time, she showed minimal restraints.
"Are you really going to help me?" she stopped him to confirm and only saw his eyes for a brief second before he pushed her back down and hurriedly raised her skirt up. This was wrong and she knew it. But she was frustrated and William was the quick fix that was going to help her. It"s not as if it was the first time that they were going to do it, so what was one more deed to add?
"Of course, babe. When have I not? You know I would do anything for you. But I"ll just give you some information and it will be up to you what you"re going to do with it." William got on top of her and Lexi no longer pushed him away.
No matter how many times she told herself that she was never going to allow him to get his way with her again, she would always end up going back on her words, unable to resist William"s advances.
One thing that she learned while growing up - anyone from the Park family, especially the men, always get what they want.
Screw her own thoughts. She needed him now. And she was going to get what she wanted later. "You better watch your back, Katherine. I"m coming for you," she sneered in her thoughts.
