The Established Siblings of the Pack

Chapter 5

Kingsley arrived at the entrance of Neveah Department Store’s parking lot accompanied by the clinks and clanks of the janky Santana.

After sizing Kingsley and his car up, the parking lot attendant disclosed with disdain, “The parking fee is twelve bucks per hour. Ruining over the boom barrier will cost you five thousand.”

Kingsley was rendered at a loss for words for a moment. “Got it,” he mumbled. Does this guy think I’ll hit the boom barrier and run away, figuring I can’t afford the parking fee?

Then again, he couldn’t blame the guy for thinking so, for anyone driving such a janky car might actually not be willing to pay a couple of bucks.

Kingsley learned from the profile Lancer gave him that Reene’s office was located at the top of the office building behind the department store.

Hence, he wasted no time and rode a staff elevator to the top.

After exiting the elevator, he was greeted by a bright lounge with three window walls filled with greenery and the sound of rippling water resounding through the space.

It got him exclaiming involuntarily. Reene’s taste is still so refined and sophisticated.

She actually built an elegant sky garden in this part of the town where every inch was worth a fortune.

But just as he planned to search for the president’s office, a guard securing his falling hat was running to him, shouting, “This is the president’s private area. No one else is allowed in this premise!”

“I need to talk to your president.”

“I don’t care what business you have.” The guard panted while saying impatiently, “You have to book an appointment with Gardiner if you want to see the president.”

“Gardiner?” Kingsley scratched his chin, asking, “Is he a he or a she?”

“What does it have to do with you? Get the hell out of here! I’ll get a scolding if the president finds out a stranger has entered!”
