I walked up the steps of the library and pushed the door open, the smell of books hitting me square in the face. I took a deep breath, reminiscing the days when libraries used to be my safe place. These days, that place was turning into the company of a certain Italian.
I moved closer to the main desk where an elderly looking lady with her grey hair in a tight bun, glasses resting low on her face. My face split into a smile as I moved closer, the librarians eyes finally looking up at me.
"Hi. I'm Evangeline," I said holding my hand out and she shook it. "I'm here on behalf of the Aaron corporation. There's a warehouse my boss heard of around here that could be up for sale?"
The elderly woman shook her head at me, dropping the book she was reading on her desk. "Its not for sale," she told me.
"But it could be right?" I asked, adding a little fear in my tone. "My boss really really wants a new headquarters and this is my last chance to find one."
