Let's Get Married

"Your presence is not mandatory, It’s up to you." Says Rex with malice. Mind games are his specialty.

Lily desperately wants to shout but she keeps it together and remains professional, "Five years ago, you took the victim side claiming it was the right thing to do, what about now? Shouldn’t you be doing the same and treat me as such?"

What hurts Lily the most is that the victim takes a back seat. Davy's case must be solved. What Rex did is nothing else but forcing her to choose between facing him and giving up the case.

Lily doesn’t want to give up, she confronts him.

"Are these games fun? Are all my efforts and hard work so insignificant to you?" Lily goes rampage, "What President Rex thinks is none of my business, but the case itself yes!"

Being unaware of the apology statement he ordered Kevin to make, she completely misunderstands Rex’s actions.

Rex is caught off-guard, he was expecting some anger but not that much, all he wanted is to make her go see him, and then he can explain it all.

"Such determination suits you quite well." Says suddenly Rex full of confidence.

Lily feels like the ground vanished under her feet after that sentence, and panics.

She squeezes her phone and looks at the clock. It is three o'clock in the afternoon, not too late, so she decides to take the matter in her own hand going straight to the point, it's better to strike while the iron is hot.

Lily is no longer afraid, she takes the courage and says “Are you available now President Rex? I’d like to speak about the details of the case."

"Always for you." Keeps up Rex with the mind games.

Lily’s worst dream, "Alright then, when are you available?"

The table is turning and now she is asking for favors. She acknowledges that no matter how angry she is, she must be humble in order to win in the long run.

"Well," Rex takes his time to answer her, and then, after a long while, "Come to my house. It’s the best way."
