Wynter

Drew zipped through the streets, turning and speeding away as I directed him to the address of the business center. After a few minutes, we came and parked near the offices.

"Okay stay here. I'll be quick." I say, unbuckling my seatbelt. He shifted his gear to park and looked over to the tall building curiously. "Maybe I should go with you?"

"No Drew! If you come, you might be distracted."

"I won't! I'll be on my best behavior! Come on. I wanna see what CEO Wynter does"

"Okay fine" I grumbled, peering around his car to find a disguise for him . I see a baseball hat on his back seat and forced it onto his head.

"Why do I need a disguise?" He grumbled adjusting the strap on the back.

"Cause! Nick might recognize you and if he sees you then he will know I'm close by" I explained thoroughly so he could understand.

"I still don't get—"

"Drew come on! Do you want sushi or not"

"Fine...but it better taste good"

"It will. I promise" I shrugged, stepping out the car. He follows close behind, locking his car twice. I walked in through the revolving doors, dropping my head low just in case Nick or anyone else were to recognize me.

Drew and I hid in be back of the business center as we toted our disguises.

"Remember, no one is supposed to see me. We go in, then out, then sushi" I whispered, peaking around the corner of the long hallway. A few people I didn't recognize passed through the bustling area, pacing to their destinations.

"Liz!" I whispered to myself, smiling as I saw her walking towards the elevators. She looked panicked as ever talking on the phone with someone.

"Liz?"Drew repeated again. I nodded and faced him.

"Yes. She's my secretary, personal assistant, best friend, everything !"

He smiled, looking up again to watch her. I squinted suspiciously seeing the small light that flamed in his eyes.

"She...doesn't look like an assistant?"

"Hmm..." I whispered, wanting him to clarify his statement but before I could ask him to explain, I see Liz pacing into a packed elevator.

"We need to follow her. Quick!" I announced, pulling Drew's wrist to drag him along. We follow her from a distance, coming into the packed lift at the last minute. We needed to catch her by suprise, just until we could reach the offices to sign the checks.

AN: They signed the papers.
Drew flirted childishly with Liz. Elizabeth wondered how Wynter was here when she was supposed to be at the Forbes retreat. Wynter introduced Drew as her bodyguard so Liz wouldn't get suspicious.
Sorry I didn't feel like writing it!)

Nick

"Yes Mitch. I got it" I tell him annoyed at his pestering demands. He still hadn't drawn up the sketches for the expansions of the warehouse in the North Pole. I guess I was more agitated than normal thinking about all that I had to do. I needed the permits for the expansions plus I still hadn't taught Wynter the laws of the land.
The banquet was only a week away.

"Mitch...I'm going in the elevator. I will talk to you later" I inform him before clicking the elevator door closed.

I pull up my phone's contacts once again, opening my messages to text Wynter but before I could click send, the elevator doors open and a flood of people rush in.
