Sierra’s Pov
The silence was deafening, all it did was fill every inch of the wide office.
I sat still, with my hands between my laps, like I’d done the other day, just so he wouldn't see them tremble.
I couldn't afford for him to, so he wouldn't get funny ideas.
The glass wall in front of me reflected the skyline, they had very tall and unbending towers, just like him.
Xavier Knoxx.
The weight I felt in my chest from sitting here, and waiting till he came was enough to send me into a coma. But I’d come because I had no other choice.
The need to save Vaughn Industries surpassed every other need.
I couldn't fail Dad, even if the man who could save his company was a man I’d sworn to never see again.
The door opened behind me then and I looked at the wall clock.
It was 9:00am sharp.
