I have to look up Edwards work address online, but once I do, I head out and take the bus over there.
When I get to his work, I start to get nervous, but I convince myself it's the best way to handle things.
For once I feel like I'm doing the right thing.
Inside the building, I head over to the desk where his assistant is sitting.
"Hi, is Edward available?" I ask his assistant. She looks up from her phone at me.
"He's with a client right now. Is he expecting you?" she asks, her tone bored.
"No...he's not. I was supposed to call but I thought...well, I was in the area." I cringe internally at my lie. "So...here I am."
"Yes," she says, looking at me snidely. "Here you are."
"So, can you let him know I'm here at least?"
"Normally Edward doesn't like to be interrupted. I'm sure if you just wait here he'll be done eventually."
"Oh..." I trail off, feeling chastened. "I can wait."
She looks back down at her phone and I know I've been dismissed.
Twenty minutes later, his office door opens and Edward exits with a man and woman.
He looks tired, but he smiles at them and shakes their hands before they leave.
He's about to go back in his office when he glances over at me and then does a double take.
"Bella? What are you doing here?"
Lots of you thought this was a bad idea. Let's hope things go well!
See you later today!
