What If Landon Gets Married To Someone Else?

Kelsey's POV

{BBC – 9:30 A.M.}

After finding my way to Kate's floor, she was there waiting for me already.

I followed her through a hallway that smelled like strong coffee and too much cologne. The financial department compound office wasn't anything fancy... just a large room packed with people and wooden divider desks that barely offered privacy. It was noisy, too. Phones rang, fingers clacked on keyboards and a few heads turned the moment we walked in, and I could already feel the heat of their stares crawling on my skin.

Kate led me to an empty seat tucked between two desks. The chair squeaked when I sat. She smiled and handed me a clear mug filled with iced coffee, just the way I liked it... no sugar, just strong enough to keep me alert.

"Thanks," I muttered, wrapping my hands around the cool mug.

The murmurs started the moment she stepped away.

"Is that her?" someone whispered.
