a/N: I don't own Glee or any of this characters, if I did then the show would be called "Klaine and the Klainers". And wouldn't sing.
Rachel Berry, Burt Hummel and Finn Hudson walked through a large corridor, following a tall, red-haired young woman. They got to a large room with two desks opposite each other, one had nothing on it and the other one had a big computer, and many papers and books around. There was a big door in between the desks. The woman turned around to face her guests, looking slightly worried.
"Mr. Hummel arrives at nine, if you are going to wait for him please sit" she pointed to the couple of chairs in front of the empty desk. "You might wanna know that he is very private and does not like uninvited people in his office, I can…"
"We are his family, he is my son and this is his brother!" Burt said pointing at Finn. "I am sure he won't be mad about seeing us."
"Which is why I let you in; if you were not his family I would have called security." She turned around and headed for the desk full of papers. She started organizing them when her phone rang.
"Kurt Hummel's office… No he is not available, who is…?" she wrote something down on a post-it. "Right, I'll leave word, thanks for calling Vogue." She hung up and started typing quickly on her computer. Finn looked confused, but Burt and Rachel seemed rather worried.
After about five minutes a short man, probably in his mid-thirties came into the office, she looked at the young woman in the desk and left her a large bottle of Evian and two empty glasses. He was walking out of the room when his cell phone beeped. After reading the text he just got, looking slightly alarmed he turned to the woman.
"Lauren, his chauffeur just text messaged, he is parking the car." The woman named Lauren looked up. "But, he- He is not supposed to be here until nine." she said. "It seems that he decided not to attend the book-signing" he sighed "we should have foreseen it."
"Oh god. Ok Jeremiah, tell everyone he's coming. I have to organize the office and we need to get his coffee, tell Chris to run and get him a starbucks, hot starbucks." Jeremiah walked out of the office and Lauren started to pick all the papers up, outside the office all the workers were rushing and cleaning, trying to make their workplaces look neat. Lauren had just finished cleaning up her desk when the elevator's door opened.
A man stepped out of the elevator, walking steadily through the corridor. Kurt Hummel took off his Chrisitan Audigier glasses and put them in his pocket. Lauren ran to meet his boss at the office door. Kurt looked around the office and said:
"Is there some reason that my coffee isn't here yet?" Lauren looked at the door and then at Kurt. "Well, Christian went to get it, but we didn't know you were coming early today so…". He interrupted her "Details of your incompetence do not interest me, call Jeremiah I need to talk to him about the exclusive for Gwyneth and I need his sketches for the next week's edition." With that he opened the door in between the desks, taking little notice of his family sitting in one of them, and closed it after getting in. The door had a big golden plate on it reading "EDITOR IN-CHIEF".
Lauren looked shaken, she grabbed her phone and called Christian immediately. Burt, Rachel and Finn looked as equally shaken and surprised. It had been 2 years since Kurt had visited any of them. Lauren looked at her guests, and then knocked her boss' door. After a few moments she got out of Kurt's office and looked at Burt. "Mr. Hummel says he'll see all you now."
Burt, Rachel and Finn walked inside a big office, with a large desk in the left hand, a balcony and a round table in the middle of the room. Kurt was sitting in his desk, reading The Times. He didn't look up, he just said "Rachel, please close the door." His voice was cold and distant, nothing like it used to be during High School or College as far as Rachel could remember.
Rachel closed the door and the three of them stared at Kurt, who was still reading the news. Finally Kurt folded the newspaper and looked at them. "Okay, let's break this awkward silence, why are you here?"
"Son, we just came to visit you." Burt said, still refusing to believe that his son was being so rude to them.
"I'm afraid I don't have time right now, father. I have an important meeting today."
Finn looked at his step-brother, "Dude we came all the way to New York to see you, can't you make an exception?" Kurt looked at him. "No, Finn. I can't afford to miss this meeting, it is very important; it will include many international designers and press, which will put Vogue back in the spotlight. I have a lot of work to do today."
Burt looked deeply saddened by this. "Son, at least consider dinner with us today, we haven't seen each other for years" his voice broke, Burt looked like he was holding tears.
Kurt didn't look at his father; instead he just started typing in his computer. "No, I am very busy today. I am sorry but I can't."
"Kurt, Finn and your father came to see you all the way from Ohio, I think you can be able to at least go out to dinner with us." Rachel looked really angry and sad.
Kurt groaned, "Fine, I'll go. Tomorrow, dinner at the Mai-Sen-To, it's the best Japanese restaurant here. I'll tell Lauren to make reservations for us."
"Okay, that sounds good, but get five reservations, we told Blaine he could go too." Kurt looked at Rachel. "I will get four reservations, for us. I don't want anybody else, especially not him. And now please go, I have lots of work to do."
Rachel tried to argue but Kurt called Lauren and asked her to go with them to the exit and to get her just four reservations for the Mai-Sen-To for the next day.
Yea, you can hate me. I know I made Kurt look terrible but you'll see why when you've read the next chapters.
