Lenora got out of her car and walked into the news station when she got a call.
"Lenora Has-"
"It's Patricia." Patricia interrupted her and thank goodness she was just about to give up her pseudo name. Although she might already know about it.
"Hello Patricia, how can I help you." She answered.
"I'm going to my fiance manor today, I was supposed to take my party planner but I don't want to. Wanna come?" She asked.
"Sure, what time?" Lenora asked.
"How about now? Text me your address and I'll have my driver pick you up." She responded.
Lenora looked at her outfit, then at the news station's building and began to walk back to her car. "Tell him or her... to come in thirty minutes." She replied.
"Fine." She said and cut the call.
Lenora got into her car and drove back home, she contemplated calling her superiors but didn't. He was the one that gave the assignment so...
"Is the manor really that far?" Lenora asked eyeing the helicopter that sat before them.
"It's time ladies, you'll need to wear hoods. Chairman Kang insists that the location of his manor remain secret, and you'll have to hand your phones to us as well." The guards informed them.
Lenora sent a suspicious glare towards Patricia, but she didn't seem to have a problem with it. Was she already aware? Still... a good seemed a little too much. And if he wanted his manor to remain secret why throw a party?
After the security procedures they were air borne. And despite the helicopter it took about thirty minutes, roughly to get to the manor. The two ladies were not strangers to luxury and grandeur but this was impressive.
Lenora eyes widened as she stared at the house, if any one thought Sky mansion was an architectural wonder then they should come see this. It was amazing.
"Hello Ladies." A deep rich voice greeted them.
Patricia looked at her fiance with a smile. The house was impressive and all but she was admiring a much more impressive view. Who knew the cold and aloof Jason Kang could look so effortlessly sexy in jeans and a shirt. His hair usually combed back danced around his forehead and her fingers itched to comb through them.
"Are you ready?" He asked, snapping both women from their trances. Patricia walked up to him and gave him a casual hug, Jason stiffened as her contact and brashness. And while that night be interpreted as surprise it was repulsion. He wanted to grab her hair and pull her away but he couldn't. He also couldn't bring himself to return the hug so he waited for her to pull away herself.
"Goodday Mr. Kang." Lenora greeted, after Patricia pulled away.
"Goodday, do I know you?" Jason asked.
"Lenora Han, nice to make your acquaintance." She said.
Jason nodded and lead them away. After Butler Choi explained everything and lead them to the ballroom and they finished the discussions. Patricia sought out Jason again but he already made an escape.
"Miss Lee, if there's anything else you need you may ask this servant." Butler Choi bowed.
"Where's Jason?" She asked.
"Oh he has some important work to do, he asked be to take care of whatever you may need." He answered.
"How about a tour?" Lenora suggested.
"Absolutely, I'll guide you." Butler Choi smiled and lead them out if the ballroom.
Patricia could care less about the tour, where was her fiance? How was she supposed to seduce him if he couldn't see her? But still she followed along the butler and Lenora. As they walked she thought saw something but when she looked again she couldn't see anyone. It was so quick she must have imagined it. Soon enough she separated from the two people walking in front of her, on her own personal tour and hopefully she would find that fiance of hers.
Jessie couldn't be more glad about her knowledge of this manor, avoiding Jason really forced her to learn the corners and turns of the manor. So as soon as she sighted the 'visitors' she turned on her heel and dashed the other way. After going through some tricky pathways she ended up on another path. Sighing in relief she began to walk. To her greatest dismay, she heard that annoying click of heels. But it sounded like just one person. The first thing she saw where were red shoes, Patricia! No way she could hide in time. There where no flower pots or tall vases in this hallway. Feeling a tightening grasp on her wrist, she yelped. Suddenly she was pulled into a dark room. Hands clasped around her mouth to keeping her from shouting again.
She heard a click and she could finally make out her surroundings. It seemed like a storage room? What was a storage room doing on the third floor? But that was the least of her problems, her biggest problem now was the man standing so close to her she could probably count his long lashes. With his hand over her mouth. She blinked at him and he finally let her go.
"What the hell are you doing?!" She yelled.
"Ssshhh don't shout!" He reprimanded her forcefully but quietly.
Before she could ask why she heard a familiar voice. "Who is there? I saw you, you'd better come out!"
Ugh! Patricia.
"See?" He whispered.
"What the hell is she even doing here in the first place!" She whisper yelled.
"I told you that I was having visitors, the question is why are you outside?" He replied.
"I thought I had time, you didn't tell me when they were coming."
"Well how could I when you were so eager to kick me out your room this morning."
"Still, how could you bring Patricia here! To your house, when I'm here!" She said forcefully.
"Ugh... she's my Fiancee, coupled with the fact that she's by duty hosting my ball. You already knew that." He stated matter of factly, waiting to see her reaction.
Jessie eyes widened with rage and she tried to shove Jason away from her but he wouldn't budge.
"She's gone let me go" she spat.
"She isn't, wait a bit longer just to be safe." He stated.
"Oh please, you just don't want me to leave isn't that right?" She scoffed.
"If you already know why are you trying to leave then?" He lowered his head and whispered into her ears. Jessie shivered at the feather light contact. "It seems you don't either." He teased, lowering his hands he snaked them around her waist and pulled her to himself.
Jessie gasped and stared at him wided eyed. "Are you still mad at me?" He asked her for the second time today.
"Of course, how could you bring Patricia here?" She said, wriggling in his grasp.
"I already told you, and it's not as if you really had a problem with it at first. What changed?" He asked. "Are you perhaps jealous?" He said with a sly smirk.
Jessie looked away, his eyes were biting holes into her, she was afraid to show any emotion. Too much was at stake.
Jason took her reaction as encouragement and trailed his nose across her neck. Smiling as she stiffened. "Don't be, she doesn't mean anything to me" He whispers as he placed a light kiss on her jaw. "You're the one I love."
That broke the spell, she used a move she learned earlier to push him away. It was supposed to put her in the most beneficial position but he was just way too strong. So they were on equal footing.
So she had to be faster, she pulled open the door and dashed out. Screw Patricia finding her, it wasn't as if she was guilty. If anyone was guilty it was Patricia, not her.

"What the hell is wrong with- ahhh!" She screamed as Jason shoved her off the side of the hallway. It was open space all through the side to the next corner, like a long balcony but with rooms. He used this opportunity to push her off, Patricia struggled to grab something in the commotion, but she couldn't grasp onto anything. Lenora and the butler screamed but they were too late, all anyone could do was watch her fall.
