Chapter Twenty One

Rory was working hard at the internship at one of Logan's fathers newspapers. She was enjoying the work. Loving the challenge and couldn't wait to one day be a writer for a big newspaper. For now though she contented herself with running errands. Sitting in on meetings and doing other jobs round the office.

'Hey ace slow down' Logan said stopping her in her tracks by putting his arms round her waist.

'Logan I'm working' Rory smiled but pulled away.

'I miss you. You're always here.' Logan complained.

'I'm coming out with you tonight. Remember drinks with Colin, Finn and the others' Rory said picking up a pile of papers from a desk and heading towards the stairs.

'Where are you going? I want to see you' Logan said grabbing her hand.

'I need to take these papers to 4' Rory said nodding to the papers in her free hand.

'4? What's 4?' Logan asked not letting go of her hand.

'The 4th floor. Come on I'll be done around 6. We'll have drinks then we'll head to Honor's party.' Rory said pulling her hand free and heading to the stairs again.

'Actually Honor wants me there early so I'll be skipping drinks. Could you meet me on the yacht?' Logan asked her.

'Yeah of course.' Rory said eager to get away and back to work.

'OK I'll let you go.' Logan said kissing her then heading away. He stopped and turned back to her. 'By the way how'd you get out of Friday night dinner? I know your grandparents like me but I thought it was impossible to get out of it.'

'Dinner! Oh no. I forgot to ask my mum to get me out of it' Rory said shaking her head.

'Rory' Logan said sounding a little annoyed. 'You promised Honor.'

'I know I'll sort it. I may be a little late. If I go to my grandparents and excuse myself before desert.' Rory said looking back to him.

'We sail at 8.30' Logan reminded her.

'I know. I'll be there' Rory said opening the door to the stairwell.

'Ace you know how important this party is to my sister' Logan said. He was starting to annoy Rory.

'I'll be there' She repeated.

'Alright. I'll see you there.' Logan said walking back to her and kissing her then heading off again.

'Ah Rory. Just the girl I wanted to see' Mr Huntzburger said as Rory arrived of 4.

'Me? Do you need something?' Rory asked politely.

'We haven't really had time to talk about your progress here. Step into my office' Mr Huntzburger said opening his office door.

***

Rory arrived at the party looking pale. Mr Huntzburger had pretty much told her she'd never make it as a journalist. He dashed all her hopes and dreams in a few small sentences and she'd just sat there and took it.

'Ace! you're here early! How'd you get out of your grandparents?' Logan asked walking up to her.

'I just didn't go' Rory said visibly upset.

'Hey ace what's up?' Logan asked.

'Can we get out of here?'
