Lauren POV-

I hurriedly walked towards the location I was ordered to go to.

"Fuck" I muttered to myself as I fell to the ground.

I got back up and dusted off the bits of dust on my shirt.
I continued to walk until I eventually came to the  location.
Its not that far from the diner, but its definitely hidden away from the streets.

I sigh quietly to myself as I walk slowly towards the small, yet fancy looking building.

I glance to the right and see Devin's car already parked beside the building.
I clench my jaw and enter through the doors.

I look curiously around the unfamiliar place.
There's fancy sofas around, a chandelier and a fucking water fountain inside and I can see two set of staircases right in front of me.
I see a girl working on her computer.
I raise my eyebrows and approach her.

I clear my throat and she looks up at me with a blank expression.
"Uh... I.. Um, I have a appointment with Mr.Jones?"

She looks at me suspiciously and I gulp hard.
After a few minutes she presses a button on a telephone that's placed on her table.
She looks up at me one more time.
"Name?"

"Lauren Jauregui" I say as I adjust my bag straps on my shoulders.

She nods her head and presses that button once again.
"Mr Jones, someone is here for you.. She claims her name is .....Lauren Jauregui?"

There's a pause on the next line before I hear his deep voice speak over back.
"Ah! Yes, send her right up please"

She glances up at me and points towards the elevator.
"Go to the highest floor. Mr Jones office is just to your right once you exit the elevator"

I nod my head and walk quickly towards the elevator.

Now I'm standing right in front of his office and I gulp.
Well......its now or never.

I lightly knock on his door and wait for a few seconds before I hear someone saying 'come in' from the other side.

I slowly turn the knob and walk inside.
Devin's back is turned to me and I stand in front of his desk awkwardly.
I clear my throat.

He slowly turns around and I resist the urge to run out of the room.

He claps his hand and sends me a smile.
"Ah! Lauren, I knew you wouldn't let me down."

I blink my eyes at him and scoff lightly.

"Oh, please take a seat!"

I slowly pull out one of the chairs and plop myself down onto it.

We sit there in silence for about a second or so before he breaks the silence.

"Okay. Let's just get straight to business."

I gulp and nod my head slowly.

"Did you bring it?"
I nod my head and reach down to grab my bag.

I glanced back up at him before raising my eyebrows.

"Wait... Did you bring it?"

He grins and stands up, walking over to one of his office draws.

He pulls out a black plastic and I can already see it.

He walks back and drops it onto the table.
He sits back down and quirks one of his eyebrows at me.

"Well.. Here it is."

I slowly extend my hands to grab it until he pulls it away from my reach.

"Nope. Not until you give me what you owe me"

I only nod my head and retreat my hands back down to grab my bag.

I zip open my bag and grab the plastic of drugs I wrapped earlier.

"Here" I say. Feeling confident now as I threw the plastic at him.
He catches it and glares at me, I smile innocently at him.

He opens up the wrapped plastic with a scissors and takes out the bag of drugs
"Is this the full amount?"

I nod my head as I place my hands together.

He takes his time opening  the bag and takes a little amount of cocaine into his fingers. After awhile he seems satisfied and places the drugs back into the bag as he puts it into his drawer.

"Ah, nothing like easy cash aye?"

I raise my eyebrows at him.

"Oh, whoops... Here you go"
He says and throws the black plastic at me just like how I did earlier.
I glare at him and he smiles coyly back at me.

I open up the bag and smile to myself when I see the money.
"Is this all 1000 dollars?" I say.

"Of course Jauregui. I'm not stupid." He says as she shakes his head lightly.

I roll my eyes and place the bag of money into my bag.

I stand up and look down at him.
He nods his head and speaks.
"Well. I'll contact you again if I want more okay? But for now.. This will do."

I nod my head and clear my throat.

Devin stands up and extends his hand.
I look down at his extended hand before glancing back up to him in confusion.

"Oh c'mon, just shake my hand already"
I chuckle lightly to myself as I extend out my right hand to shake his awaiting one.

"It was a pleasure doing business with you"

I smirk and nod my head lightly.
"No problem, I'll see you soon"
