Femme Fatale: The King's Deadly Temptress

Chapter 30: Do You Want to Be Punished?



Chapter 30: Do You Want to Be Punished?

Katherine followed Damien to the right-wing of Hillcrest Hospital to meet Dr. Evans. As they entered the bright and huge lobby, a male's voice called from behind. "Kath!"

She turned her head and saw a tall man running up to her. He was panting when he reached her side and started, "I've been calling you for days. Why aren't you answering?"

"Adam." Surprised to see her friend in the same hospital, Katherine walked closer, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm visiting a friend. Did you lose your phone?"

"Umm No-"

Confused, Adam continued to question her, "Then why aren't you taking my calls?"

Damien scrutinized the man who was demanding answers from Katherine. He didn't intend to, but his expression looked very cold as he looked at Adam from head to toe.

Katherine started to panic especially when Adam turned to the man next to her. "Who's this?"

"This is Mr. Park, he's my boss," she answered quickly, not giving Damien the chance to make up stories again.

Turning to the tall, brooding man next to her who was giving her the 'Who the hell is this' look, she quaked, "Excuse me, President Park, I just need to talk to my friend for a while."

Not waiting for Damien to answer, Katherine pulled Adam away and brought him to a corner to talk to him. She left Damien in the middle of the lobby bothered by that strange man with her. She hasn't been back in his life for that long and there's already a second fly he has to swat?

Crossing his arms in front of him, Damien waited for the two to finish their conversation. His facial expression was unreadable but if he thought that his silent curses in his mind were safe, that's where he was wrong.

A loud mocking laugh sounded from his side but he didn't even bother to turn.

"If someone were to tell me that I would see Damien Park with this expression, I wouldn't believe him." Dr. Jeffrey Evans nudged his friend Damien who was soaking in vinegar at the moment. "Is this the secretary that Caleb told me about? My man she is fi-"

Jeffrey choked on his words when Damien turned his face and gave him a cold glare.

Raising his hands before him, Jeffrey tried to survive from his friend's fury. "Woah I'm just complimenting. She's all yours," he said with a snicker.

"Jeff, I trust you with this. Help me," Damien said in a low voice.

Patting Damien on the shoulder, Jeffrey could not say no to him. "Anything for you, brother."

..

"Who was that?" Damien questioned as soon as Katherine came back to his side.

"Just my friend Adam. We live in the same neighborhood." She forced a smile, wishing that he would stop asking her questions.

"Ah so that was Adam." Damien said indifferently but it only made Jeffrey chuckle. How could he forget the Adam that caused him to overreact in the elevator?

Hearing the way he said it, Katherine blushed at the memory of her climbing on his body. She wished for the ground to just swallow her at that moment.

Not wanting to dwell on it anymore, Damien introduced his friend to Katherine. "This is Dr. Jeffrey Evans, he'll be your doctor starting today."

"A pleasure to meet you, Dr. Evans. My name is Katherine Miller." She extended her hands and shook with Jeffrey. The doctor was a couple of inches shorter than Damien and was skinnier. He had dark hair, dark eyes, and tanned skin.

"Katherine, huh?" Jeffrey glanced at Damien and raised a brow. "I swear I have heard that name before"

"Well, it's a common name," she shrugged. She didn't notice that Damien shook his head at his friend.

"A common name maybe, but not a common face." A teasing smile appeared on Jeffrey's lips as he avoided looking at Damien who was already giving him a glare.

"Have you received the files?" Damien interrupted.

"Yes. I may need to go over them first so why don't we go to my office and discuss it further?"

Tapping the screen on his phone quickly, Damien turned to face Katherine. "I have to go meet someone. I'll just send a car to pick you up in an hour."

"Wait, you're leaving me?"

"I'm sorry. This is urgent. Don't worry, Jeffrey is going to take care of you." Damien looked at Jeffrey in the eye and continued, "I trust him."

Jeffrey gulped at his words. It didn't sound like a statement, rather it sounded like a threat. "Heh of course."

Although that may be true, Katherine still felt uncomfortable that Damien was about to leave her alone. 'I thought you were going to do this with me' she said in her thoughts.

Damien placed his hand on the small of Katherine's back and brushed his hand gently that she felt warm on that spot. "I will see you later." He gave her a gentle smile before he nodded at Jeffrey.

Katherine's session with Dr. Jeffrey Evans didn't last that long. He only did routine questions and wanted to get to know more about her. He also asked further questions about her visits with her previous doctor.

Just like Damien, Jeffrey had doubts but he did not dare say it to Katherine. He had to speak to Damien first. So after less than an hour, Katherine was already on her way back to the office.

When she returned, she received a text from an unregistered number.

Unknown: [ Are you back? ]

Wondering, Katherine typed in her reply.

Katherine: [ Back where? Who is this? ]

At the backseat of the Jaguar, Damien clenched his jaw and narrowed his eyes. "Why does this woman not have my number? It's been days and she doesn't have my number?!"

Damien furiously typed his response.

Unknown: [ Kitten, how come you haven't saved my number yet? You have phone numbers of several men on your phone but not mine? Do you want to be punished? ]

Real Immature. Damien can be really immature.

When Katherine read the text, her eyes almost popped from shock. "What?! Several men!? Ha" She wanted to curse but could only glare at her phone. Damien was the only one who calls her Kitten. Realizing that it was her boss, she swallowed her annoyance and replied calmly.

Katherine: [ I'm back at the office. ]

King Damien: [ Good. You don't have to wait for me. I'll meet Mr. Picard tonight for dinner. I'll see you tomorrow. ]

Reading his text, a bright smile appeared on her face. It was Friday and she didn't have to stay so late. Though she didn't really have anywhere else to go, she was glad not to have any more tasks to do.

At midnight, Katherine went to the snack station to get some water. She had another bout of a nightmare. Waking up in a cold sweat and a rapid heartbeat, she couldn't sleep anymore

She filled up the glass in her hand with water from the dispenser and chugged it down. And when she turned around to go back to the storage room, what she saw in front of her made her drop the glass to the ground, smashing it into pieces.

Standing before her was none other than her boss, Damien Park.

Under the dimly lit room, Damien's expression turned dark as he asked, "What are you doing here?"
