ログインLexi watched the top-of-the-world reaction from her friend. Fortunately, they were the only ones in the café. But that doesn't mean there weren't waiters around. As the waiters stared at them, Lexi apologised on behalf of Elena before turning to her friend." Elena, are you trying to bring Chen's business down?" Lexi asked, rolling her eyes as her hand remained on Elena's mouth.Elena tapped on Lexi's hand, indicating she was going to be calm. As soon as Lexi removed her hands, her eyes bulged out. " The MAXWELL REED OF REED CORPORATION? Girl, you are truly fire!"Lexi chuckled at her friend's reaction. Well, it's expected because of Rex family background and also their history together. Although Lexi doesn't know if Elena was surprised because it was Max Reed or because she was married to her enemy?Or could be both.Elena chipped in again, this time she leaned towards Lexi," Wait, I remember that devil was your arch enemy back in colleg
The call ended and Lexi quickly went to take a shower. She had already scheduled a meet up with Elena that morning. Before Ethan would come back from his business trip, she was going to make sure all the documents are ready. She need that position in his company. When she got out of the shower, she put a call through Uncle Joe to pick her up at the mansion. It was already past eight and she promised Elena she would be at the Cafe by nine. Making her way out of her room, she bumped into the housekeeper, Mary. As soon as Mary saw her, she looked scared and guilty. Lexi squinted, her eyes taking in Mary's hiding something behind her back. Her tone was icy and she stared at Mary," Should I do it my way or you will come out clean yourself?" Mary stuttered, taking two steps back. She knew underneath the understanding attitude of Mrs Blackwood, there was something the housekeepers couldn't voice out to anyone.
Lexi watched as Ethan walked into his bedroom, barely concealing his excitement. His excitement of what he could get from her. She couldn't believe she had missed all these signs all these years. It was so obvious Ethan only saw her as a tool, a financial one.To these bloodsuckers she was still that lovestruck naive little wife. The one who would do anything to secure Ethan's smile. As she was about to leave, she saw replies from the messages she sent earlier. " Sent. And ready for the next round."And another message: " Aren't you glad I am your cousin?"And the last, cold yet endearing: " Got it. Be safe, Mrs. Reed."Her eyes lingered a little longer at the last one, Henry's words replaying in her head. She still couldn't point why she suddenly decided to strike the deal with Max that night, it just seemed like the only thing she could think of.But was it actually the right thing?Lexi made her way towards her bedroom so she could have a good rest. Her body was aching all over s
The atmosphere dropped, Ethan confused expression fixed on Lexi who was obviously smiling at him for a positive answer. At first, Ethan thought he heard wrong. " My company? You never bother yourself with these things." Lexi pouted, her expression turning tearful." So, you wouldn't?"Ethan was a little reluctant, but he decided to play along. He could just arrange a position for her, something he could control her movements. It wasn't going to be a hassle as long as her suspicion of him and Sophia could be sorted out. Seeing her looking downcast, Ethan immediately replied," Of course I can. You are my wife and also the co-owner of Blackwood Corporation, why wouldn't I give you a position?"" Oh, honey! Thank you!"Lexi let out a bright smile and before Ethan could continue, she quickly added," Can I get the position of a business consultant?"Ethan went quiet for a moment. He took a glance at the enthusiastic look on
Lexi let out a faint smile as she watched Sophia stutter. She knew what Sophia actually wanted to say but would that white lotus actually dare to say it? Even if Sophia actually dare to, would Ethan let her do it?So much was at stake and these two wouldn't want to waste their years of plotting!Confessing after being caught? That would be quite a show.Lexi continued smiling, her eyes resting heavily on Ethan and his lover. Scratch that, his legal wife. She couldn't believe she had lived in oblivion all these years. Seeing how Ethan was so commited to Sophia, how could she not even have a guess?Right now, they looked more of the couple than she could ever look with Ethan. Clenching her fist, she walked slowly and sat opposite the two of them. " I...we...it was just a..."She almost rolled her eyes at the white lotus performance of Sophia. Why the hell was she still stuttering?" Cat caught your tongue, Miss Mendez? Yo
Lexi's hands shook uncontrollably, still it clutched tightly on her phone. She stood there, frozen, the phone was like an accessory in her ears. She wanted to breath, to speak out and to ask questions yet she continued shaking.The voice. It couldn't be. She thought she had left that part of her life behind. The memories, the pain, the anger...she couldn't let it resurface now. It was a chapter she had carefully locked away after her mother's death.This was certainly not a coincidence. " You are dead to me. Don't ever call me or you will regret it!"" Lexi, please...I am still your..."Lexi forced herself to move, the hurting in her heart moving faster than the words of the person on the other end of the phone. The click sound was enough to tell her that she had the right to cut off whoever wants to hurt her again.As she cut the call, she tossed it on the bed, her cheeks suddenly getting wetter. She continued taking
