I walk out of the house

I walk out of the house. Walking out of his life, for good.

I never wanted to come back, ever. My blood was boiling from all the anger I was feeling. I hear someone walk out behind me, and I relax upon seeing David.

"I'm giving you a ride" he says and walks to his car

"There really is no need, I'll take a cab" I say crossing my arms

"Alex, please get in the car" he says opening the door for me

I stop being too stubborn and get in. He also gets in and drives out of the driveway.

"Where do you want to go?" he asks softly, turning to me as we exit the mansions gates

I let out a puff of air

"A hotel please. Any hotel" I respond

"Alex, if you need a place to stay, you can stay with me"

"Thank you David, but I really need some time alone" I answer

"I understand. There's an empty penthouse that belongs to the company. Its like a guesthouse for when we have important clients that come from out of the country. No one is staying in it, so I can take you there" David says while driving

I nod my head, "I don't want anything to do with him, David. I am very upset and dont want to-" he cuts me off

"The penthouse is under my name don't worry. It has nothing to do with Ace" David reassures and places his hand on mine

I hold my breath and take a few moments to think this over. "Okay, I'll stay there then" I breath out

He nods his head and continues driving down to the city where I believe the penthouse was.

We arrive in front of a gorgeous and really tall building in the heart of New York City. The building was a 5 minute walk away from Anderson Tech, which was convenient...

David parks the car at the front of the building and we get out. I grab my duffle bag and he passes the car keys to the valet at the front. We enter the building doors and my jaw drops from how beautiful this place was. It was enormous and I swear, everything was made of white marble. I follow David to this gold elevator that was by itself and he scans a card that he pulls out from his wallet. The elevator opens and we get in. There were only 3 button options:

L (Lobby)

P1(Garage)

PH (Penthouse)

David presses PH and the elevator starts to move up.

"How have I never been told about this place?" I question

"Well, since I'm PR manager, i'm usually dealing with guests to stay here and organizing everything for them so I guess it never came up" he says

"Hmm I see, is this elevator for this apartment only?" I ask
