“I need to speak with Mr. Castile, please.” I smiled, holding a white box.

“Do you have an appointment?”

“No, I don’t.”

“Mr. Castile is available by appointment only.”

“I just need five minutes,” I said.

“No.”

“Can you please just call down to his office and tell him that Samantha is here?”

“No.”

“I’m sorry. Did you just say no?” I stared at her.

“Mr. Castile doesn’t accept unscheduled visitors.” She stared back, her extra-long, fake eyelashes distracting me.

This woman was nothing short of a human brick wall.

“Okay.” I nodded. “I understand.”

“Good.” The blonde smiled.

I turned around and took a seat in one of the gray chairs by the wall.

“What are you doing?” she asked.

“Waiting.”

“You cannot wait without an appointment.”

“Sure, I can.” I crossed my legs.

“I’m calling security,” She reached for the phone sitting beside her.

“Go ahead,” I said.

The elevator dinged, and the doors opened. I couldn’t believe it when I saw Weston step out.

“Weston,” I said, jumping up from my chair, gripping the white box tightly.

He turned and stared at me. “Samantha? What are you doing here?”

“I tried to come down to your office to speak with you, but your dragon over here wouldn’t let me.”

He looked at the blonde and walked over to her.

“Miss Hollis is allowed to come down to my office whenever she pleases,” he told her.

“Even without an appointment?”

“Yes. Even without an appointment. Follow me, Samantha.”

I turned to the blonde dragon and did something I couldn’t believe I'd done. I stuck my tongue out at her.

“What did you want to speak to me about? And what’s in the box?”
