Chapter 15

The Taurus building always felt so close. The cab ride was an eternity though. My stomach turned and made me shift in my seat. Thoughts raced through my head. I wasn’t sure if I was getting sick or angry or anxious. I was confused about what to make of everything.

I called the number on the phone and a woman responded. It was Robin, the young woman who greeted me just a few minutes ago. She set up the appointment with Lee without a hassle. Just like that, I was headed for the biggest building in the city where the richest man resided.

I checked my messages and Noah still hadn’t responded. I had to assume he was busy with work, his phone drowned out by today’s choice of music. It didn’t matter if he responded to me. Just as long as he got the message in case anything were to happen. There was no telling what I was walking into. For all I knew, this meeting was just as dangerous as meeting with Victor Castle himself.

When I arrived at my destination, I hesitated for a moment before stepping out of the cab. The Taurus building looked even taller when you stood right next to it. From the right angle, it was tall enough to block out the sun. Even bending your neck all the way back, you still weren’t able to see all the way to the top. It was a wonder how something like this was built. Lee’s success was undeniable.

A rush of cold air welcomed me into the building. Inside, you wouldn’t have even known that the city was suffering from one of the most brutal summers on record. It only seemed appropriate that anybody in here was so distant from the rest of the city’s inhabitants.

Soft music wafted through the air. It was subtle and barely there, not loud enough to mask the sound my flats made against the cold, marble floor. Wealthy business types sat on the couches and chairs. The crowd was a far departure from what I was used to seeing. There was little else interesting except for an information desk in the distance where two security guards sat.

I approached the two men and saw that they were more interested in what they were watching on TV. I stood at the counter and one of the men finally looked up to acknowledge me.

“Sign-in here,” he said before I could get anything out.

He tossed a clipboard at me and I scribbled my name onto the sheet of paper. The guard took the clipboard away from me and looked at my name for a second.

“What are you here for, Miss… Cooper, is it?”

“I have a meeting scheduled with Lee Taurus.”

The guard glanced up at me. His eyes shifted to me in a way that made him look skeptical.

“Hold on one second.”

He grabbed a phone, his eyes still locked on me.

“You got any ID?” he asked.

I pulled out my driver’s license and he examined it while he spoke on the phone.
