My Undercover Romance

CHAPTER 4

AUDREY'S POV

It's past closing hours and I'm still here, Mr. Quinn is still in the office. I guess I have to close

when he closes. I'm sure everyone must have gone home. I sat back in my chair and waited for Mr Quinn's call.

Just then, my office phone rang and I quickly connected to the call. “ Hello Sir”.

“You can go home now”. He cuts the call before I can reply to him and I grumble inwardly. I got my bag and opened my office door. I saw him closing his office and I walked ahead of him. I walk to the elevator and open it, I enter and he also enters. The elevator closes and it's suddenly stuffy in here.

The elevator opens and he steps out first. I checked my phone to see if my Uber was there but it said it was still two minutes away. I walked out of the building and I didn't see Mr Quinn. He must have

gone home.

I checked my phone again and I saw my Uber had been canceled. WHAT! How? Now I have to walk home. I started walking and I groaned out loud. I didn't plan to walk home, Ugh.

My legs start hurting and I decide to remove my heels. I saw my building and I walked faster toward it. I reached the building and walked in with frustration visible on my face.

I take the elevator to my apartment and I go in, before dropping my bag and shoes on the floor, I slump on the bed with a loud groan. I wasn't able to find anything today. I couldn't stop staring at Mr Quinn. I can't believe I almost forgot why I got there.

Why did I lose so much focus upon seeing him? He didn't even give me any of his time, so I should have stopped thinking about him. But no, he was still in mind.

I groan and go to the closet to change into my big sweatshirt. I turn on the TV and I see boring TV shows. I wish I could have brought my TV with me, but my boss made it clear that I couldn't bring anything with me. I turn the TV off and slump on the couch.

I never realized how lonely I was until now. Right now I need to complete this mission and own this house and be lonely again. Maybe I'll meet someone, just maybe.

My phone rings and I make the call. I wonder what my boss wants now. “ Mr. Quinn is staying in the building you're in, so this should be easy”. She disconnects the call and it takes me two seconds to process what she just said.

He's staying in this building? How, when? Well, this building is big and luxurious, so it shouldn't be shocking if a billionaire stays here.

He must be staying in the penthouse, but how do I get in? I need to think of something. The right thing to do is to seduce him. But I can't even do that if he doesn't look at me or give me his time.

I stand up and think of ideas to make him notice me. Do I trip and let him catch me or do I spike his coffee? Yes, I should do that. I pull out my phone to check for stores nearby. OK, there's one just a few steps away.

I got into my sweatpants and went out of my room. I step out of the elevator but I bump into

Someone, it's a worker and I immediately apologize. I stepped out of the building and walked to the store with hastened footsteps.

I saw the store and I smiled in victory. I walked in and I heard the bell ding. I walked further in and looked for sleeping medication. If I could put this in coffee, he would fall asleep and that would give me time to check his files. I walk through every row in the store and I finally see what I'm looking for.

I took one and walked to the receptionist. I give her the medication and she looks at me with pity. “Oh dear, you can't sleep?

Oh, she thinks it's for me, “Yes ma'am”. She shakes her head and hands it over to me. I'm about to pay but she tells me it's for free. I thanked her and walked back to my apartment building.

She was nice. I closed the door once I was in my apartment. Now where can I hide this? Oh

yeah, my bag. I hope he doesn't ask someone else to get his coffee, that would spoil everything.

I hear a knock on my door and I wonder who it might be heard the door and I see it's one of the workers. “ Ma’am your dinner”.

“Oh thank you”, She nods at me and brings the troller into my apartment. I didn't know they brought food too. Well, I won't complain.

She pulls the troller to a stop and bows before going out of the room. I open the plates and drool at everything placed on the troller. There's even chocolate, my favorite.

In a few minutes, I'm done eating and another knock resounds on my door. I yell it's open and the same girl comes in to take the troller. How did she know I was done? It must have been a coincidence.

She takes it out and I contemplate talking to her, she might want to be my friend. Or she might find me weird and never bring food to me again. The door closes and I lay on my bed. I can't even play video games because I suck at them. You guys may be wondering if I have a family, but I don't think I do. I don't remember much of my childhood. I don't remember having a Mom or a Dad, not even a sibling.

Soon I fell asleep, dreaming of Mr Quinn.
