“Right, so I’ll distract the receptionist while you go look for paperwork,” Rebecca declares, her hands gripping the steering wheel.

“Why can’t I distract her while you go into the office?” I groan.

“Because you’re his daughter. She knows you.”

“She doesn’t,” I tell her, eyeing her up and down. “And with your clothes and looks, she’ll believe you’re his daughter more than she will me telling her I am.”

She rolls her eyes. “I’ll get a read on her. Maybe I can get her to distract herself and then I can come help you.”

I inhale, running my sweaty palms down my jeans. “Let’s do this.”

We get out of the car, and I can’t help but scan the area, searching for Andrew’s car, but I don’t see it in the small carpark. The noise from inside the warehouse echoes with machinery and men chatting or yelling to one another.

“Do you have the memory stick I gave you?” Rebecca whispers, leaning in close when men stop to watch us walk up to the reception building. We ignore the catcalls and keep going.

I push my hand into my pocket, gripping the stick between my fingers. After I told her about Jaxon mentioning the memory stick being encrypted, she came up with the plan to plant a fake one. We are hoping Andrew will think it’s a glitch since he must have a simple way to access the original memory stick. It might buy us a day or two, depending on how good his tech guy is. I just hope we get the information we need before he realises we set him up.

“I do.”

Rebecca straightens before pushing open the door, the bell above the door ringing. The blonde-haired receptionist looks up, a smile on her face. “Hello, I’m Jessica. How can I help you today?”

I give her my best smile. “Hello,” I greet.

“You look creepy,” Rebecca mumbles, coughing to cover it up.

Relaxing my smile, I step forward. “I’m Andrew Black’s daughter. I’ve come to drop something off.”

“His daughter?” she repeats, her lips parted. “He hasn’t mentioned you or your appointment. He’s not in today.”

She reaches for the phone and I quickly rest my hand on top of hers. “He hates being disturbed while he’s golfing with colleagues. I only need to drop this off. Which way is his office?”

Rebecca comes to stand by my side, dropping her bag on the table with a thud. “Listen, Jess, we don’t have much time. We’re going shopping.”

Jessica isn’t paying attention though; her eyes are on the bag. “Is that the new Chanel handbag?”

“It is. Did you see the new line?”

“New line?” Jessica breathes out.

I quietly step away from them, leaving Rebecca to talk clothes, and head into the back hallway.

I bite down on my bottom lip when I see a few doors. I’m not sure which one will be Andrew’s, and I don’t have much time. I also can’t risk someone being in one of the other rooms and asking questions.

I walk down the hallway, then roll my eyes as I come to a stop in front of one of the doors.
