Elevator ~ e.d.

19

"Okay So He can be somewhat of a jerk so don't let him get to you." I explain to Katie as we walk up to Dolan enterprises. She nods and takes in the large building.

"This building is even bigger than the one we work at." She says with shock. I chuckle. "I told you he was kind of a big deal." She giggles as I open one of the glossy doors for her.

The lady at the desk is taken back. Probably by the fact that I look just like her boss with slight differences.

"I'm here to see Grayson." I mutter. She nods wide eyed and clicks a couple of buttons on the phone.

"Mr. Dolan someone is here to see you." She mutters quickly not taking her eyes off me. "He's waiting for you. 50th floor." She says quickly. I nod and rest my hand on Katie's back as I guide her to the elevator much like the one I saw her in for the first time.

"I'm guessing she didn't know you guys were twins." Katie said as the doors closed behind us. "Nope." I state as I press the 50 button.

The elevator ride isn't too long and I take a deep breath as we reach the 50th floor. "It's okay." Katie reassures me. I smile at her softly as we step off the elevator.

To our left is a set of doors that obviously leads to my twin brothers office. God, I can't believe I'm doing this.

I open the door and Grayson turns from the beautiful view his windows display. He's wearing a nice suit that probably cost hundreds of dollars with what seems to be a glass of scotch in his hand.

"Ethan." He grins sitting his drink down on his desk and heading towards me. I'm surprised when he engulfs me in a hug.

"God, it's so nice to see you man." He says excitedly. He stops as he glances at Katie with a smirk. "Well hello beautiful." He smirks as he grabs her hand and kisses it.

My bloods boiling at the fact that he's acting like this towards her. Maybe I'm over reacting. She's not my girlfriend or anything.

Katie's POV:

My cheeks heat up as his lips touch my hand. God, he's beautiful but Ethan's better. The differences were apparent and I definitely favored Ethan but Grayson was so clean and confident. Any girl would fall for his persona.

"Please. Sit down." Grayson motions toward the chairs in his office. Ethan sends him an awkward smile and we take our seats.

"So how's work?" Grayson ask Ethan as he pours him a drink. I know Ethan didn't want this subject to come up.

"Oh um it sucks." He says honestly scratching the back of his neck. Grayson scoffs. "How bout you sweetheart?" He ask glancing at me.

"Oh um i'm just an intern at where Ethan works. I'm still in school." I mutter nervously. This man was even more intimidating than Ethan was which I didn't think was possible.

"Yeah that's where we met." Ethan butts in placing his hand on my knee and giving. It a light squeeze. It sends a shock up my spine and I flash him a smile.

"Oh so you two. You're a thing?" Grayson ask raising his eyebrows.

"Oh um no not really." I mutter looking down at the ground somewhat disappointed. I wish we were.

Ethan looks down at the ground also.

"So you wouldn't mind if I took her out to dinner would you?" Grayson ask Ethan but he doesn't take his eyes off me. Holy shit.

Ethan's jaw clenches but he remains quiet. "It's just business. I have an offer. It'd be best discussed over dinner." He smirks sitting back in his chair.

I glance at Ethan and we both still don't say anything to Grayson. "I'm guessing school cost a lot now doesn't it? What if I offered to pay for it?"Grayson adds.

This catches my attention. I'm definitely struggling to pay my tuition. "What time?" I ask. He smirks. "I'll pick you up at 8."

Ethan's POV:

My blood is beyond boiling at this point. I think I might flip out.

I stand up from my chair. I can't believe she agreed to go to dinner with him. I can't believe he asked her.

Yes, we're not together but in a way I thought we were.

Katie stands up from her seat and mutters a goodbye.

I don't wait on her. I just storm out of the office. I don't want to look at her. I'll for sure lose it if I do.
