"Affair in the Levingston office? Now when did this happen." Lewis said as he read the magazine sector of the newspaper. "I never knew that you have hots for your assistant President Levingston."
He placed the paper on the desk in front of him and observed the man in front of him. The man was frowning as he stared at the picture on his table. The picture was of two people, a man and a woman, sharing a kiss in front of the ANDEZ company. Or so it looked like. In reality, it was a trick of angle.
Beckett and his assistant came out of the office after working overnight. Before he could enter his car, the assistant tripped and fall onto him. And as an instinct, he supported her as she fell on him. Somehow, it was caught on camera and was misinterpreted.
"When is the wedding? Make sure you make me your best man." And his friend can't seem to stop annoying him with is teasing.
"Stop messing around." Beckett grumbled.
Lewis gasped dramatically and said,
"That's right. How could I forget? You're already married."
Hearing that made Beckett twist his eyebrows.
"You have a wife waiting for you at home all alone, and you're disrespecting her by cheating on her with a no name girl. This is bad young man. Very bad. Maybe I should spank your *** for it as a punishment."
Beckett rolled his eyes as he got up from his chair and went to the glass wall. He stared at the busy street in front of the office.
"Enough with this. It's giving me more headache." He sighed.
"Seriously though, how are you going to explain this to your wife?" Lewis asked.
"Once again. I don't want her to be called my wife. It irritates me." Beckett frowned.
"Just because you don't like her don't change the fact that she is your wife, Beck."
"Only on papers and it will only last for 15 more months. Then she can no longer use that title for her gain." Beckett said.
"I just don't get why you're so against her."
"And I don't get what you found pleasant in her. She is just like her father. An opportunist ready to suck on others' blood at any chance they get."
"You really hate the Aynesworth, don't you?" Lewis asked. But as he saw the look Beckett was giving him, he quickly said, "Oh! Don't answer that. That's a stupid question.
"He is using his illegitimate daughter to gain the Tx-chip. Both father and daughter are scheming bastards." Beckett hissed.
"All's done now. We can't change it anymore. Let's think of what to do now. Your wife would do something harmful if she's provoked. Better do something to keep her on bay." Lewis said.
"Women are always troublesome." Beckett sighed.
At the moment, a knock came from the outside.
"Excuse me, President." A woman's voice came.
"Come in." Beckett replied.
The woman entered the office and nodded to Beckett and Lewis.
"Sorry to disturb you, Sir. But Director John want to have an audience with you." She said.
"Send him in."
"Yes, Sir." After the words of order came, the woman went out of the room and a man who looked like he was in his fifties came in.
"Greeting President." The man frowned but still greeted.
Beckett just nodded. Lewis got up from his seat and went to stand besides Beckett.
"What does Director John wish to discuss, to meet me like this?" Beckett asked making the older man clench his jaw in anger.
"I am hundred percent sure President Beckett knows what I want to discuss." The man hissed out.
"Unfortunately, Director Johns, I don't possess the ability to read a person's mind. So, you'd have to be more descriptive of what you want to say." Beckett acted innocent.
"President Beckett, I want to ask you. What decision do you have regarding what you did with my daughter?"
"Your daughter? I'm not aware you have a daughter Director Johns, let alone do something to her." Beckett observed the anger steaming out of the man's body.
"Tanya may not be my biological daughter. But she's still my step daughter and I love her as my own. And what you did, is ruining my daughter's reputation. She's being called a home wrecker, a mistress. I hope...No you should take up the responsibilities of defiling her name." The man stood up; all his patience went out the window.
"I'm aware that you're not pleased with what the media have 'exposed'. And I believe you should have a proper conversation with you step daughter regarding what happened. I would never commit such a mistake."
Beckett said emphasizing that to have an affair with the woman would be a mistake. This did not calm down the man. Instead, it angered him more.
"Mistake?" The older man hissed.
Seeing that the conversation would lead to something disastrous, Lewis decided to bug in between the two man.
"Director Johns. Please. You don't need to worry. What happed was a trick played by the media. President Beckett has already ceased the media and the news would not be spread anymore. And a solution would be carried out to clear Ms. Tanya's name. You don't have to worry."
His words seemed to have calm down the angry father. Director Johns glared at Beckett and threatened.
"President Beckett. I hope you compensate for the wrong you have done to my daughter. You may be the President of the Company, But the Board of Directors have the ability to hold against you."
With that, Mr Johns left the room, leaving an angry Beckett and a nervous Lewis to take care of the annoyed friend.
"ZESS! Why do you have to provoke the old man?" Lewis complained.
"I just hate his guts."
"Now. Let's keep this aside. How are you going to deal with Kayla?"
