Beckett still remember it to the date. He was wrong. She was not a scheming bitch. She was a shameless scheming Bitch.
"I'll never accept her as my wife. She is just a piece on my board. I only need her to find out what happened that time. Then I'll no longer have any use of her." Beckett said in a cold tone which even scared Lewis.
"See man. I obviously don't know what happened before we met. But I don't think you should judge her. I mean... I hang out with her sometimes, and I don't think she's that bed." Lewis voiced out his opinion.
"She's a fucking bitch who acts really well. How do you think she made Grandpa like her so much that he's against me now?" Beckett argued back. "And nobody should trust your taste on woman. Your ex-girlfriend sold nude pictures of you two_"
"Ahh!" Lewis shouted, stopping him from finishing what he was about to say. "Please, don't remind me of it. I still have nightmares of that girl. Who knew a sweet looking girl like her would turn out to be psychotic girl?" He shivered as he remembered the terrifying memories of him being tied in a bed, nude, with the girl clicking pictures.
"Whatever." Beckett just scoffed at his friend. "Arrange a press conference at around 3. Also call Tanya. She should be present there." He ordered.
"Yes Boss." Putting up a fake salute, Lewis went out of the room.
Beckett was about to do some paper works when his phone rang. He picked up the phone from the table and checked the ID of the caller and instantly cursed as saw who called him.
"What?" He replied in an indifferent tone.
"Come here now." A woman's voice came.
A beeping sound came from the phone. Beckett glared at the phone as he grumbled, "She just hang up the phone after saying what she wants."
"It's her?"
"Yeah."
"What did she say?" Asked the curious Lewis. His eyes eager to listen what Kayla ha to say regarding he scandal. Too bad. Beckett had a different plan for him.
"Call up the Head of PR." [PRD_ Public Relation Department]
"B...but..." His protest came to its end even before it began when he saw the 'deathly' glare of his boss aka his best friend.
"Okay Boss." His fake enthusiasm running wild.
After discussing with the Head of PRD on what to do, Beckett ordered Lewis to arrange a press conference at 3 in the afternoon.
"Also contact Miss Tanya. She has to be present in the conference."
"Okay. Do you need anything?" Lewis was concerned for his friend who was having his first scandal. Well. It's the first after that happened to Beckett.
"..." Beckett didn't reply to his question.
"Beck?"
"Just send me a cup of coffee."
"Okay. I'll g_"
A knock came on the door. One of Beckett's Secretary came in.
"President. There's a... problem." She said unsure how to present the disturbance which was happening outside the office.
Beckett didn't say anything, just waited for her to say what the problem was.
"Its Mrs. Levingston...."
Beckett frowned showing his dislike as soon as she said that.
"There's a lot of media member outside. They're creating a lot of_"
Before she could finish what she wanted to say, they heard noises outside.
"Mam! Mam! Please stop!"
Suddenly the door of the room opened. There she was, with all her head held high. The proud wife of Beckett Levingston, Kayla Levingston. She looked straight at the person she was looking for, her eyes keeping locked on him as if she was staring at her prey. Beckett was the same. He didn't hide the aversion he felt when seeing her. This left the other people present in the room in an awkward position.
"Amm! Hey Kay!" Lewis tried to suspend the tense atmosphere but got ignored instead.
"I told to meet me two hours ago."
"I was busy."
"Busy getting into your_" Kayla stopped herself seeing there were other people there.
"Leave us." Beckett ordered. Lewis and the Secretary went out.
"Why did you come here?" Beckett asked her.
Kayla gave him a look before asking him, "Really? You're asking me why I came here? The whole nation is talking about how my husband is having an affair with one of his secretaries. I even called you. And you're asking me why I'm here. What do you think I am doing here?"
"You sound as if I cheated on you."
Beckett's statement gained a questioning look from his wife.
"Yes. You cheated on me by having an affair with your stupid secretary." Yelled Kayla.
"We were never a couple to begin with." Beckett argued. "So, me having an affair with someone should never be a bother to you."
"But other don't know that. In their eyes I am your wife. And I don't want my husband to be a cheater. You may be okay with staining your name with some bitch like her. But I'm not. I don't even want to be mentioned in a same sentence with that girl."
Kayla Ainsworth, now Kayla Levingston, is one prideful woman. From the day Beckett met her, he always doubted her being an illegitimate daughter who grew up in the dark side of the country as mentioned in her report.
'Why is an illegitimate child like yourself so prideful?' Beckett wanted to ask. But he assumed that she forgot her hard living and thought of herself as a princess of the Ainsworth family as she was the family head's only daughter.
Seeing Beckett chose to be silent, Kayla said what was in her mind. "And I'm sure Grandpa will think the same as I."
Beckett saw her threat. 'Is she really threatening me with my grandfather? Knowing him, he'll rather disowned me than seeing her for who she is?'
Beckett calmed himself down. He knew that if Kayla said anything about him to Grandpa, which he knew would-be no-good things, he would be in a deep mess. And he still remembered what his older brother told him.
"Beck, the Ainsworth may have a connection to what happened 13 years ago"
