When the door opened on six, I burst out of the elevator, running to the desk.
I pushed the ‘door close’ button constantly, ignoring the frowns sent my way. I endured the slow ascent upward, trying not to snarl at people as they got off on other floors.
My head fell back on my shoulders, as I inhaled a deep breath and counted to ten. Didn’t they know I was in a hurry? I pressed six on the panel, then hit the ‘door close’ button, even though people were still filing in. The doors opened, and I cursed under my breath as I waited for people to exit. I jumped in my car, speeding toward the hospital. I heard my name being called, but I ignored it. I was on my feet, rushing out of the restaurant without another thought. My heart beat frantically, hands clenching and unclenching at my side, thinking about the call I received while having lunch with a client and Graham. I tapped my foot as I waited for the elevator. I glanced over my shoulder as I hurried away. Park my car and bring me my keys.” I pushed past him. Think of it as a reward for a job well done. I shoved the money into his hand, smirking as his eyes widened at the sight of the cash.
I had no idea how much it was, but to this kid standing in front of me, blocking my way, masking his youth by pretending to be forceful, I was certain it was a fortune. Reaching into my pocket, I grabbed a wad of cash. I was lucky I remembered to take the keys.Ī security guard stopped me before I made it to the sliding doors of the hospital, holding up his hand. Flinging open the door, I lunged out of the seat, not even bothering to shut the door behind me. My tires squealed and left black marks on the pavement. Turning into the large entrance of the hospital, I slammed on the brakes so hard my car shuddered.
