I supposed the office was just like every other law firm in New York.
Professional. Impersonal. Tidy, but still opulent. Boring, yet intimidating.
I rubbed my sweaty hands on my slacks and hugged my pashmina closer to me as I entered the elevator with Andres and the bodyguard we brought with us.
Eduardo, I believed, was his name. The same guy who came with me to the restaurant when I met the girls out for dinner. He ignored me, and I was happy to return the favor. I was too nervous to make small talk.
Andres placed his hand against the small of my back, and I leaned into him, grateful for his strength and support.

My ex was a slimy sonofabitch, but he was smart when he was determined.
“Mr. and Mrs. Ramirez? They are waiting for you inside,” an older woman with short, gray hair greeted us when we exited the elevator.
