RAIN
"I am here to see Mr George Kingsley."
My hands are slightly trembling but I straighten my spine as I look at the receptionist who nods and smiles waving me in.
"He is open to seeing you."
"Thank you."
My strides are sure as I make my way to George's office. I can do this.
I pause at the closed door swallowing hard and schooling my features before knocking once and getting in.
The first thing I see when I step inside the huge office is him, seated behind the massive mahogany desk, a smirk on his lips as he watches me. The office is fully furnished in black which is fitting since his heart and soul are coated in soot.
"You are the last person I expected to see," he says without bothering to stand as he watches me cross towards him.
I don't sit, so I need to get this done and leave. "Why?"
