JK grabbed Alex's wrist in a hard grip and moved her hand away. Damn it if that did not seem to excite her more.

“Come on beautiful, I just want to touch….I'll make it  worth your while,” she promised.

He shook his head. “Jin is my boss and my friend. I'll not have him walk in on me with his soon to be wife on her knees.”

She gave a hard laugh and moved into his chest to  whisper, “Don’t overestimate your worth. I would not be the one kneeling.”

She seemed to realize that she had crossed the line when he dropped her wrist and moved past her.

“Don’t be mad,” she coaxed. “I am sure SeokJin won’t mind sharing.”

“I thought you said you were going to marry him “he accused.

“Oh, you sweet, sweet innocent child,” she said, causing him to clench his teeth till they hurt, “of course I am going to marry him. Then I will get pregnant so he will have his heir. I am not too choosey as to the brat’s father, but he probably will be. Then after the kid is born, I will be free to have him, his money, his company AND as many lovers as I like.”

He took a deep breath before he spoke. He was furious for his friend. But Alex was not finished yet.

“He will probably go back to that pathetic Kim SongDae.  She has no other prospects and will take him, even if he is married. And then I will be free to…....explore",” she paused for a second, assessing him again.

She moved back toward him and leaned forward so that her breasts were clearly on display.

“In fact I think I need you and your delicious friend Taehyung to visit me….tonight maybe? It will be very…..pleasurable,” she practically purred.

“I am sure we would enjoy that,” he said, successfully distracting her with the possibility.

All eyes turned to Tae in the control room.

“What the hell Kook?” he muttered, “leave me out of this!”

Laughter spilled around the room, breaking the tension.

“So, let’s get this meeting finished then,” JK said, hoping to start the questioning.

Jin took that for his cue and walked in the room.

Alex immediately shifted her focus to him. It was frightening how quickly she changed her attention.

After waving her away and asking her to take a seat, Jin joined them in a small seating group.

He wasted no time.

“Alex, I told you we needed to look to our future. I also told you I needed to fully disclose the nature of the threats to my company. I fear you will not want to proceed with any connection with me or KimCom once it has all been revealed.”

Her reaction was award winning perfect, a small gasp, a slight frown of concern.

“Truly Jin, it cannot be as bad as all of that, plus I have done some investigation of my own” she responded.

Jungkook's heart raced at that.

Jin began to tell her the story as they had planned and she listened and nodded as the leaks and emails were revealed. Finally, she stopped him.

She reached and put her large bag on the table in front of her and reached for Jin's hand.

“Jin, I am so sorry to be the one to tell you this. I had my suspicions at the time of the first leak, but I could not be certain,” she stated.

“How did you find out about the first leak?” JK asked her.

She answered immediately, “Mr. Kim, Jin's father called me and told me. Then he asked if I could come help Jin. He knew even then that my family’s influence would go a long way to help the situation.”

She was lying, smoothly and without overthinking it, but she was lying.

Jin nodded his encouragement and she took a big dramatic breath and waited.

“SeokJin, I know who is responsible for this. I should have told you sooner, but I just found proof,” she revealed. JK was holding his breath for her to continue.

“Jin…it is Min Lyra….and I am not convinced SongDae was not behind it at first, but Min Lyra did the damage,” she said.

The control room was silent as they waited to hear this play out.

Both of the agents were cleaning forward, intently concentrating on the feed.

“I know I asked you to hire her and I feel responsible! I thought she was some poor pitiful girl from the country who got in over her head in the city. I wanted to help her,” she said, her voice dripping with pity.

JK's fists were clenched tightly, his control starting to fray. All Alex's attention was on Jin. She was selling her story, trying making sure he was taken in.

“But…. that girl…she is no innocent!! You will be shocked when you see what she has done…pictures and videos…” she said in mock shock.

“No….” JK burst out, losing his patience thinking about Lyra in the control room, hearing all those lies, surrounded by strangers. He could not know that Dae had wrapped her arms around the girl and Tae had moved to set beside her, giving her encouragement as the scene unfolded.

“Oh! I forgot you took her to the Gala. Pity dates never work out you know! Maybe you should get tested dear.” Alex said with malice.

Jungkook’s rage had grown to that spot where he had tunnel vision, laser focused on the task at hand. Alex would not have the satisfaction of another reaction from him until this was over.
