Windows of the Heart

Chapter Five

A Provocative Encounter

Megan's hand cupped on her chin, staring intently at Hyun-Ki; then slowly taking off her shoe, tapped and brushed her foot on Hyun-Ki's leg. Hyun-Ki, looking straight at her, acting ignorant but enjoying her playful flirting; all this did not escape Rielle's glowering sight, seeming jealous, on their playful naughty behaviour.

Later that afternoon, everyone gathered in the CEO's office to give way for Mr. Kwon's request of an audience with Hyung-Ki. Mr. Kwon Nam-Joon came in with his two assistants, Megan and Rorie to discuss with Hyung-Ki about marketing their new products. Rorie is preparing their presentation on the product bundling on gadgets and laptops to launch in the market; while Hyun-Ki, Megan, and Mr. Kwon Nam-Joon sat facing altogether at each side of the conference table with eyes on the presenter. What is interesting in this situation was that while Rielle was standing at the far side of the table, took her attention at Megan, that she cannot avoid her eyes from what both Megan and Hyun-Ki are doing. Megan's hand cupped on her chin, staring intently at Hyun-Ki; then slowly taking off her shoe, tapped and brushed her foot on Hyun-Ki's leg. Hyun-Ki, staring straight at her, acting ignorant but enjoying her playful flirting; all this did not escape Rielle's glowering sight, seeming jealous, on their playful naughty behaviour. She slyly thought of offering them coffee while entertaining a stupid idea; but then went through with it though, that when she was near Megan to serve her coffee, recklessly slipped the cup from her grasp, spilling down to Megan's lap.

"That's better, huh! Good for you!" she said herself while Megan screamed from the hot coffee spilled on her, "Why you stupid, reckless bitch!" she yelled at her.

Everything was disrupted by the commotion caused by Rielle's foolishness. Everyone was muffled but with quick response Rielle quickly grabbed a tissue rubbed on her spilt lap pretending to be apologetic but deep inside her, she was grinning with what she did. Mr. Kwon, Megan's boss, hushed her to watch her word; meanwhile Hyun- Ki was looking at Rielle suspiciously, knowing in his thoughts, that Rielle intentionally caused trouble. He came upon her at the corner of his eyes watching Megan's flirting. When everything was settled, all went back to their normal presentation and discussion showing Rielle writing down their discussions. Hyun-Ki did not ever take off his sight at Rielle, somehow amused but worried by her shrewd motive. The meeting ended by 5pm and everyone were leaving but Megan and Hyun-Ki. He was busy on the phone at that moment. Thinking that she and Hyun-Ki were left alone in the room, made a passionate move on Hyun-Ki.

"Your place or mine?" She whispered on Hyun-Ki's ears, seducing and coaxing him.

She leaned her body close to Hyun-Ki's while standing his side by the wall, he cannot refuse her amorous tempting seductive moves, he slowly inch his hand on her thigh. As he is about to reciprocate her encouragement, Rielle inconspicuously appeared by the door of the pantry of the CEO's office, holding a tray of pastries to bring out from the room into her office to share them with her staff. She was so embarrassed by that malicious sight that she dropped the tray which made the two lovers shockingly surprised!

Astonished but with presence of mind, Rielle swiftly picked up the tray, repeatedly apologizing then passed by them quickly through the door while covering her face with the tray. The two were left in extreme silence, somehow annoyed but both laughed it out sprightly.

Megan grabbed his arms and whispered in a soft seductive voice "I miss our togetherness. Make love with me again, Hyun. I want you to be with me tonight" a look of yearning from Megan that Hyun-Ki seemed tempted, wanting to give in to her teasing so that both left the office quietly.

Meanwhile, Rielle was full of that scene back in the office with Hyun-Ki and Megan having that passionate intimacy, she can't help that hint of jealousy pinching her heart. Then deep in her thoughts she can't take off from her consciousness that sticky stare Hyun-Ki had given her in the restaurant that day, the way he gently held her while getting in the car, the way their faces almost touched each other when he put that seat belt around her, that manly scent of his when they were so close together.... aaah! why is she so infatuated of him! She was confused and was not even sure if he had a feeling for her or just a fling because recalling that scene with him and Megan, all she felt was an aching heart. She felt hopeless, crashed, broken.
