"Oh my goodness! Jessie what happened, who the hel- oh my gosh!" Katherine exclaimed as George Lee... George Lee, like the actual George Lee walked into through her doors with Jessie in his arms.
Katherine could not wrap her mind around what was going on. At first when a suit clad man with a microphone to his ear came knocking at her door, she never expected this... she expected another note, perhaps an explanation but never in her wildest dreams. And why the hell was Jessie letting him hold her like that? Did she not know who he was? Not only did he have the reputation of being an absolute rake, he was a Lee! They weren't people cut from good cloth.
It was the same like the devil. The saying when eating with the devil use a long spoon, when eating with a Lee- don't even eat with them.
"This is you roommate? Katherine Park?" George asked as he placed Jessie on the kitchen counter. Refusing to leave her side.
"Y-you know my name?" She stuttered in shock.
"Of course, the youngest professor in the Song hospital. I know everybody that somebody in this city." He stated bluntly.
And Katherine's cheeks unwilling reddened. How the hell was she supposed to hate him when he said things like that. Was this charming guy really the owner of an auction house?
'No Katherine no! Don't be fooled by his sweet words they are all fake!' She scolded herself.
She looked towards Jessie who looked like she had seen better days, with a bruise on her elbow. A bruise?!
"Why is she like that? What did you do to her?" Katherine asked in alarm, rushing over to Jessie.
"I didn't do anything."
"Then why is she so quiet? Why is she hurt? Jessie? Are you okay?" Katherine as the unmoving Jessie. Who finally looked at her, all along she had been staring into space, her eyes red and her lips began to quiver... again.
"Oh my goodness, Jessie what happened?" Katherine as she held her friend.
"He" sob. "he - the bodyguards" sob "... I told them I could." Sob "they wouldn't let me... and he just left me." She cried, falling forward to Katherine. But before Katherine could catch her George already did.
Katherine regarded the position with suspicion but she said nothing as Jessie was still sobbing. "I've only ever seen her cry like that once before. What. Did. You. Do?" She asked her gaze intense.
"Me? I didn't so anything. I told you before." George stated, as if the entire situation was amusing.
"I don't believe you." Katherine retorted.
"Well do you think I would offend her and she would cry into my chest like this?" He asked, dramatically caressing her hair.
"She didn't go to you, she came to me. You..." she pointed an accusing finger. "Took advantage of the situation."
George smiled, no wonder she was the youngest professor. Really very perceptive, and while he liked to be the villain, he would gladly relinquish that to Jason this time.
"She's crying because she's heartbroken." He stated bluntly.
"I'll put this in three words then. Jason did this." George replied bluntly.
Again she shook her head but not out of confusion. "He would never. Jason would never do that, make her cry like this."
George laughed. "Quite some faith you both have in this man, I'm jealous." He said, his tone light but his eyes deadly serious. "And yet he deserves none of it."
"Jason is in love with Jessie, you don't hurt people you love." Katherine defended him. "He... he loves her too much, way too much." She insisted.
George eyes narrowed and he was ready to burst out at her. How dare she say stuff like that, right before him, but Jessie was faster.
Like someone lit a fire under her she jumped down from the island and faced Katherine with a glare in her wet eyes. "Then he doesn't love me!" She spat viciously. "Because this is what he did to me." She said.
"Jessie." Katherine said softly and cautiously.
"No" Jessie shook her head. "He did this to me Katherine. I-I went to apologise and tell him I'd back off. I wanted him back but he wouldn't even see me. He told his receptionist to throw me out of the building. I was thrown out Katherine! Onto the street! Look! Look at this" she raised her bruised elbow. "Does that mean he doesn't love me anymore?" She asked in a small defeated voice and Katherine heart broke for her friend.
"Tell me!" She screamed. "Why would he do this?!" She cried. "Why?!"
Katherine pulled her into a tight hug with no words to be said. She also did not have a single idea why what happened happened. Still skceptical about the story, Jason would never do that. He wouldn't. She was sure of it, but Jessie wasn't hallucinating either.
"Are you sure it was Jason that gave the order? What if it wasn't him?" She pulled her away and held unto her shaking shoulders.
"Do you really think so?" Jessie asked, sniffing.
"Ofcourse it's him. Nothing happens in a company that the head doesn't know off." George stated behind them, quickly coming to dislike Katherine. How dare she continue to defend Jason?
"That's not true, a lot of things happen that the chairman does not of." She retorted.
"Maybe just where you work. Paul Song is the director of the song hospital isn't he? A lawyer in charge of doctors... of course he would be ignorant." George stated bluntly.
Katherine's jaw dropped. It was one thing to insult her place of work but Paul? Now that was just crossing a line!
But before she could speak he added.
"Nothing happens in my company that I don't know off." He said.
"Well you are not exactly the head of the Lee corporation now are you?" Katherine spat back causing George jaw to stiffen.
