560 Arent you romantic, Miss Wang? (1/2)
Meanwhile…
”Yes, thank you.” Inside the locker room, Lexi nodded her head despite Aubrey Ning not seeing her from the other end of the line. After a second, she bid her farewell and thanked Aubrey Ning again before hanging up the call.
Aubrey Ning was still with the ladies and could not go back to the locker room. Fortunately, it wasn't locked, and Lexi could get in. She also didn't bother to change as she promised to buy an extra set for Aubrey Ning.
Grabbing her handbag out of the locker, Lexi then placed her office clothes earlier in the spare paper bag that Aubrey Ning mentioned. After checking once more, a satisfied smile formed on her lips as she nodded.
With that, Lexi then left the locker room. However, just as she left the locker room, Laurel Wang was heading in her direction, probably going to one of the locker rooms in the area. Yet, Lexi didn't want to bother and continue with her tracks.
Just as the two women got closer, Lexi's strides were put on a halt when Laurel Wang blocked her way. ”Miss Wang, what is it that you want?” looking at her in the eye, Lexi arched her brows as she showed petty emotions.
”Huh,” Unlike her gentle pretentious act earlier and all their encounters, Laurel Wang bore a hateful sneer as she scoffed. Her eyes were burning with rage, that was slowly devouring her own soul. ”Miss Yang, you're in my way — move.” Slowly, Laurel Wang's sneer faded.
Her remarks, of course, made Lexi's brows creased. Obviously, the one on the way was Laurel Wang as she deliberately moved to Lexi's path. But now, she was shamelessly accusing that Lexi was the one who blocked her way.
Surely, she wanted trouble. Unfortunately, Lexi was done playing with her. Therefore, to make things easier, Lexi shrugged her shoulders and stepped aside. However, just as she did, Laurel Wang also stepped to the side.
”Haha,” seeing that Laurel Wang was burning her rope of patience, Lexi could not help but chuckle. ”What is this, Miss Wang? Don't tell me you want to cause trouble?” Amused at the complete change of the said woman's attitude, Lexi cast her a blithe smile.
”Miss Yang, don't overthink. I am merely asking you to move aside — don't block my way.” Smiling, Laurel Wang feigned innocent as she almost repeated the same words she said earlier.
Who would believe her? She's obviously there to trouble Lexi and is now playing words with her.
”Miss Wang, were your words pertaining to this path or to something… someone else?” Slowly, the corner of Lexi's lips curled into an amused smile. ”I can step aside and you can block my way the whole day. However, too bad because I can only give way in this simple situation.” Upon saying her last remark, Lexi took a step forward, yet Laurel Wang didn't take a step back.
Lexi understood the meaning behind her words; Laurel Wang had decided to go all out. By the looks of it, Laurel Wang was tired of playing the innocent lady as she finally showed her actual colors in front of Lexi.
