“Then I’m afraid I can’t help you.” She looked past him, already scanning the lobby for the next person worth acknowledging.” Without an appointment, there’s nothing I can do.”

“I understand. But if I could just speak with someone from-

“Sir.” Jessica’s voice sharpened, a clear note of irritation cutting through the professional veneer. “Do you know what building you’re in? This is Imperial Group. One of the largest companies in the world. We don’t take walk ins.” She looked him up and down again, slower this time, making sure he noticed. “Are you sure you’re not looking for the employment office? It’s on Third Street. Two blocks east.”

This is how they treat people who don’t look rich enough. Interesting.

Tyler leaned back in his chair, making no effort to hide his amusement. “Maybe he’s looking for the mailroom. We get that sometimes. People walk in thinking they can just hand someone their resume and get hired on the spot.”

“Is that what this is?” Jessica turned back to Logan with an expression that was one degree away from open mockery. “Are you here to apply for a job? Because the hiring process goes through our online portal. We don’t accept walk in applications.”

Logan remained perfectly still. “I’m not here to apply for a job.”

“Then what exactly are you here for?” Jessica leaned forward on her elbows, her patience visibly thinning. “Because right now, you’re taking up space at my counter while actual clients are waiting.”

“Mr. Rivera! So good to see you again! Your meeting is confirmed for eleven thirty on the twenty second floor. Let me get your guest badge ready.”

She processed Mr. Rivera’s badge in under thirty seconds, offered him a bottle of water from the mini fridge behind the counter, and wished him a wonderful day with the enthusiasm of a woman greeting a personal friend.

Then she turned back to Logan.

The smile vanished.

“You’re still here.” It wasn’t a question.
