(Y/n)'s POV

"And this is the foyer," I leading a woman down the hall. She was tall and lean with thin lips and eyes. Her make up was clean and smooth on her face. She had a no funny business attitude, and honestly scared me. Why hadn't Dan hadn't warned me she was coming for a meeting? She was a thin black line walking beside me, it was almost as if she could disappear. Nonetheless, she scared the shit out of me.

"Small," she murmured, and I gave her a look. "So Daniel hired you, how...interesting."

Okay what the fuck. Insulting me AND calling him Daniel?! Who the hell was this woman?

"Oh really? Why don't you ta--"

"Andrea?" I glanced up at the stairs as Dan came down.

"Didn't care to tell me you moved Daniel?" She asked and he glanced at me for a moment.

"Why the hell would I tell you?" He asked, approaching my side. His hand discreetly, pushed my hip so that I was standing slightly behind him. He had suddenly gotten severely defensive.

"Take my coat," she said, not breaking eye contact with Dan, holding out her jacket to me.

"She's not a coat rack."

"Oh, I severely question that," she said, a satisfied smirk on her slim face. She tucked a slicked piece of hair back into her bun as I took her coat with great reluctance. I threw it to the floor in the coat closet, severely pissed. What the hell was going on here? I thought she was just a business partner.

"What do you want?" Dan hissed, and I peeked my head out to spy.

"You know exactly why." Her heels clicked as she walked with great importance, as if she owned this place now. She ran her finger over a glass vase with flowers on one of the side tables in the lounge. "It seems that you've gained a lot of the public eye lately."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Don't play dumb, we both know it's because of her and you're doing it on purpose aren't you?" Her? They weren't talking about me right?

"She has nothing to do with this, you shouldn't be picking around here. It's not my problem you're failing."

"Failing? Failing?!" She spat, approaching Dan. I gripped the wood of the doorway, debating on whether or not I should help. "I'm far from it, but I won't have insignificant swine like you getting in the way just even slightly. I run this city and you know it Howell. You know what you did."

"Bitch."

"Eloquent," she chuckled. "Why did I even consider?" Her finger pressed lightly under his chin and I felt jealously flow through my veins.

"Get out of my house, don't even think about coming anywhere near her again or I will personally see to your demise. You'll get to see what it actually feels like when I ruin you," Dan said and her hand lowered.

"We could've done this together."

"Over my dead body," he swallowed and her eyes went dark.

"If it comes to it..." she threatened and turned. I ducked behind the door and hurried to the coat closet, picking up her jacket. When I turned, she was there, eyes prying each and every part of me apart. She snatched the coat from my arms and turned abruptly. I followed and watched her enter the elevator, Dan watching intently. His eyes shut for a moment when the door closed and he opened them to look over at me.

"You have to tell me you know," I said and he paused, his face running dark.

"She's dangerous, you stay away from her and if she, or anyone under her, comes close to you, tell me."

"What the hell is going on?"

"Andrea...she's another power in this country, and she's seems to think she's the only one. She'll kill you if given the chance," he said.

"Why?"

"Because we're in her way?"

"Her way of what?" He paused and looked out the window.

"Reaching the top. The top of the economic chain, so she can swallow us and everyone else below her," he sighed.

"How are we in her way?"

"The more public eye we receive, the more people are interested in us, and now that you...the first recruit in a while, are here, she feels threatened with the flock to us," he said.

"Any change affect who is with who?"

"Yes. Whether we can offer the best financial protection or not, it's like herds of sheep, and Andrea had been corralling them for a while."

"What did she mean by doing this together?" I asked.

"(Y/n), did you let her in?"

"Answer my question first."

"No, I need to know, did you let her in?" He asked, approaching me in the hall to the dining room.

"I asked first."

"I've answered enough of your damn questions!! Did you let her in?!" He asked, slamming me into the wall. His hands pinned my wrists to the wall beside me and he stared at me angrily. Clearly Andrea was not one topic he wasn't too keen on.

"Yes, I'm sorry," I said, my voice small and he quickly let me go.

"Sorry." It was quiet for a moment, and I held my wrists behind my back. He sighed and leaned against the wall opposite to me. "A while ago, when I was gaining followers and Phil had been helping me build my empire. We were just kids looking for way of earning money and it spiraled into this. Andrea was sweet and kind, helping us, eventually planning on asking me to join her, seeing my immediate success. Eventually she started to act different, cold and..." he paused to look at me, listening intently. "She came onto me, strong, most likely as a way to get me to help her, but of course I took one and rejected the other and she left us in the dust. I guess she didn't expect us to grow so fast."

"You were with her."

"Yes, and it was a stupid decision in the least, I should've known she'd be out for me later on, and now I've got you caught up in all this," he sighed and I stared at him, his slumped posture against the wall, his head hung.

"Dan."

He looked up, sharp brown eyes meeting mine.

"I won't let her in here again. You can count on me snapping that damn snake in half," I said, and his eyes softened to a admiring look.

"I'd like to see that."

"I know, pretty hot right?"

"Very."
