Chapter 26 The Clause

• ROBINS MOTORS COMPANY, LOS ANGELES.
• It took Darby a long while after staring hard at the tall building to realize it wouldn't be so easy to meet with the CEO of such prestigious company. Sighing in frustration, she knew it would be foolish for her to turn back after driving for such long minutes while enduring LA's lunch traffic. Taking a deep breath, she walked in squaring her shoulders. She approached a guard and asked where the CEO's floor was and he responded politely to her surprise. Getting into the elevator, she pressed the button for the thirteenth floor, anxiety gripped at Darby’s body and she hoped fervently that she wouldn't regret not waiting for Leo to get back to her himself. At the same time it's about her son and she needs to let Leo know that he can't mess around with her boy.
• The elevator bell dinged notifying her of her destination, stepping into the floor Darby felt clueless on what to do or where to go. Different people kept moving back and forth. Summoning courage she approached a young man probably a year younger than she was, he looked disheveled and his glass looked slanted. She felt pity towards him, wondering how much work he is burdened with for him to look so detached.
