-Begin Chapter-

I have never filled out paperwork so fast in my entire life.

I think the PR person is going to be shocked. They said they would be back in 20 to help me if I needed it and I had it done in five.

I sat there, impatiently waiting for the lady to come back, counting down the seconds of the ticking clock on the wall. Deciding to curb my boredom and kill time the only way I knew how. I pulled out my phone and checked to see if I had any messages. Sadly, I only had one from Preston.

Preston: I don't know what you did but I am going to ask you to not stop. Right now, I've got Josh talking to me about working my Preston Playz clothing line and maybe doing some collaborations with the Sidemen Corp clothing line and his person ZRK line. He said something about coming back next month to set up the details, Landon, do you realize what you did?

Landon: No....

Preston: Of course you don't...look, The Sidemen Corp have sworn up and down that they would never work with mine and Rob's company and Jerome and Mitch's. The only reason they work with Vik and Lachlan's is because of Vik. Bro, this will be huge for our company if Josh can get this worked out with JJ and actually go through with. Our sales will fucking triple in probably under a fucking month! Landon, I hate to ask you to do this, but, I don't care how much flirting it takes or what you have to do, I need you to make sure that Josh comes back next month to set up this deal.

Landon: Wait...so basically, you want me to flirt and such with Josh and get close to him, just so you can set up a deal with him?

Preston: Not just him, but the Sidemen Corp. Landon, you don't understand how huge this would be for us!

Landon: Doesn't your clothing line only make up 12% of your profits while the rest is all in your building design contracts and stuff?

Preston: Yes but that's not the point. Once one door opens with this and it goes well, maybe Ethan will come to pay us a visit and we can open up more doors for the rest of the business.

Landon: Am I going to have to flirt with him too?

Preston: Look, I wouldn't be asking you to do this if I didn't think this would be a big step in the right direction of the company. Please, Landon.

Landon:....I'll think about it.

Preston: YES!!!! THANK YOU! I OWE YOU SO MUCH!!!!! Are you almost done down there?

Landon: Yeah, just waiting for the HR lady to come back.

Preston: Okay, I'll go ahead and send David down to get you. You remember David, right?

Landon: Isn't he that mean Irish man that Rob and I both questioned on why in the hell you hired him?

Preston: You know exactly why I hired him, he is the hardest worker I have ever fudging seen.

Landon: And it wasn't because he has that hot Irish accent, right?

Preston: ....shut up. I'm sending him down now. I'll see you shortly.

I let out a laugh and locked my phone, put it back in my pocket and looked up as the HR person came in.

After some small chit chat and questions about my paperwork, we were interrupted by a loud knock at the door.

"Come in!" she called, confused. I watched as the door opened, revealing a familiar irritated looking man. "Oh hey, David. What can I do for you?"

He huffed, annoyed, "I'm here for the Errand Boy. Preston apparently needs him to get upstairs right away."

"Oh, okay, well thank you, Landon. I'll let you know if I need anything else for your paperwork. You can go now." she said quickly.

"Thank you," I mumbled before I got out of my seat and moved to the doorway, realizing that David was already gone.

I bolted out the door and looked for him, noticing that he was already halfway down the hallway. I let out a sigh and jogged to catch up to him, falling into step beside him as he started speaking.

"So Preston actually hired you."

"Yeah," I said, getting straight to the point. I know he hates all the running around bullshit, which makes me question why he is still working for my cousin.

"And basically, your job is to run around and do errands around town for Preston."

"Yes."

"Hmph. Good, I hate running around this godforsaken city for that prick. I still kick myself for the day I decided to apply for this stupid job."

You see, David was a special sort of guy who was angry at the world, hated everything in it, and wasn't afraid to say it. Especially when it came to the Sidemen.

I heard one time Harry was here with Vik and David said the wrong thing to him and they ended up fighting in Preston's office. Thankfully, no other employees saw it but Preston had to apologize repeatedly to Harry while Vik was standing to the side laughing his ass off because Harry got his ass handed to him. Or at least, that's what Rob told me.

"Yet you are still here," I commented.

"You can blame that on the ridiculous salary that your cousin pays me. I still don't know what made him think that I needed that 20% raise last month."

"You saved him from making the biggest mistake in his company's history. If you hadn't had looked at those numbers again, he would have given the wrong projections and lost the contract he was trying to get."

"Hmph. Your fuckin' cousin can't do anything rite without me." David muttered. I glanced over at him to see that proud smile though.

Preston sure is lucky that he hired David.

We said nothing else to each other as we made our way to the 21 floor, where Preston's office, Rob's office, and a couple conference rooms were. David even had his own space that he closes off so he could concentrate. Preston always makes sure David has everything he needs. Rob and I have bet how long it's going to take before Preston confesses his undying love to David. 

I hope David kicks his ass for it. It would be really funny.

Walking out from the lavish elevator that Preston made sure he had installed because, honestly, it wouldn't be Preston's building without it. You should see his house. Holy heck.

Once we were up to Preston's floor, I followed the Irishman down the familiar hallway, heading straight towards the double doors in the back.

David and I walked straight through the doors once we reached them, which lead to a lavish waiting area and then just beyond that, Preston's office.

As I walked in, I noticed Simon and Josh standing there talking, Simon looking angry as he whispered yelled to Josh while the bearded man remained calm and just listened to his partner.

"...and all of this shit so you can just get a quick lay."

"Oi. There are other people here ya know," said David loudly, catching both the tall men by surprise.

Josh immediately brightened up when he saw me and I felt my face flush again.

He is way too good looking for him to be real.

"Ah, Landon, you have returned. That was quick. Are you ready to go get the food? I have already got the others orders." he said to me.

"You're coming with me?" I asked stunned, my heart starting to beat 100 miles an hour in my chest.

He shrugged nonchalantly. "Sure, it will give us a chance to get to know each other better, especially since I am going to be spending a month here in a few weeks."

"That's if JJ approves it," muttered Simon angrily.

Josh sighed and turned to the blonde, "Look, why don't you back in there with Preston and them? We can talk about this later at the hotel."

"This isn't over Josh," Simon said to him, glaring harshly before turning around and entering Preston's office.

"Whatever," muttered David before going back to his desk to get back to work I suppose.

Josh sighed lightly, looking at the door Simon had just entered before turning and walking over to where I was. With each step that he got closer, I got more nervous, my body slightly shaking and my heart pounding harshly as my brain went running around in circles.

"Well, shall we go," he asked, reaching out his hand for mine.

I nodded, too overwhelmed to be thinking I am doing exactly what Preston wants me too, flirting him. I mean, it wasn't hard to do, granted I was awkward sometimes and I hoped he would find that adorable.

I hope he finds me adorable at all.

I stared up into those hazel eyes of his that were just so captivating, allowing myself to get lost for a moment.

They are so perfect. I could stare into them for hours. 

Then I slowly reached, placing my smaller hand in his, noting how warm and strong it felt against mine.

He smiled down at me, his fingers wrapping around my hand and squeezing.

"You know, you are even more beautiful up close." He said softly, causing my face to heat up.

I opened my mouth to speak but I was interrupted.

"Oi! No lovey dovey shite in my office. If you wanna be all cutesy and shit, get the fuck out." David called angrily.

Josh chuckled, "Shall we go then." He clearly wasn't bothered by David's outburst.

I nodded eagerly, so lost in him that I would have agreed with whatever he said.

I feel so lost and right now, I am sure that I don't want to be found.

A/N: Yes I brought in David, you want to fight me? Go for it.
