The younger guard pulled his companion aside and said sternly, “Keep your mouth shut. If the chief hears that, you’re gonna get fired.”

Realization struck the older guard. What am I doing? Why did I say that out loud? Now, this bumpkin knows I had no idea what our president’s name is. If he tells her that, I’m gonna get fired. How am I supposed to be a guard if I don’t even know who the company’s boss is?

The guard looked at Thomas closely, and he felt a sense of relief. No way he knows our president. Look at him. He looks like a hobo. The president is the most gorgeous woman in Irieson, and this bumpkin is nothing.

She’s the president of one of the top five hundred companies in the world, and this guy is just a bumpkin. No way he knows her. So why is he here anyway? And why is he seeking an audience with the president?

Is he some guy from a construction site here to whistleblow someone for money? The company’s starting to expand into the construction industry, after all. The guards exchanged a look and thought that wasn’t impossible.

The older guard cleared his throat and looked at Thomas cautiously. He was worried Thomas might do something stupid in the heat of the moment. “Why do you want to see her?”

Thomas smiled. “She told me I could come to her if I run into any trouble, and now I’m in trouble.”

“You ran into trouble?” Thomas’ answer only served to confirm the guards’ suspicions. I knew it. He’s here for trouble.

“Just tell me where she is and I’ll find her myself.” Thomas had no time to argue with these guys. Chloe’s still waiting for my news. I gotta see if Olivia can help me out.

The guard peered at Thomas again. Once he confirmed that Thomas was lying, the guard said, “Miss Pearson isn’t around. You need to leave.”
