This is the chapter that needs to be fixed.

*Autumn's P.O.V.*

I stood up from my chair and sighed. I walked out of the door then proceeded to lock it. I pressed on the button to call for the elevator and waited. While I was waiting I started shaking my head and humming loudly to Kai-Lan theme song. The elevator door opened. I pressed on the sixtieth button. I was slightly sweating from all anxiousness starting to hit me in the face. I scratched my forehead trying to act normal with a smile. The elevator door opened and I was beholded to one room with a door. 'They must have their offices connected,' I thought as I took deep breaths. I finally gathered up enough courage and slightly knocked on the door. A few seconds later a woman with foggy green eyes opened the door with a smile.

"Autumn Anstington I'm assuming?" The woman questioned confidently, I nodded. She formed a small smile on her lips. She held out her hand. "Victoria Hornsby,"  I shook her hand. Her's being firm. We let go at the same time. "Come in," she added. I walked in and seen a man sitting at the desk. The office was at least six times bigger than what mine was. The desk was right by the transparent glass wall. There was a door on the right side and which I'm guessing is Mrs.Hornsby's office.

She shut the door quietly. She walked beside me to get me to pick up the pace. I'm not going to lie, I'm more nervous now than I was before. She sat down on the empty chair next to Mr.Hornsby.

I unsurely sat in the seat in front of them. Mr.Hornsby smiled at me. He then picked up a file that was sitting on the other side of his desk with my name on it. I picked at my fingernails hoping he didn't find anything horrible about me. He pulled out a paper and looked up at me with his dark amber eyes.

"How are you?" He asked as he scanned my face. I tried looking into his eyes but it was impossible.

"I'm great and you?" I mumered. He quickly picked up a smirk and tapped his pen, looking down at the paper.

"I'm good also. A shy one I see?" He teased causing me to blush. He looked up at me then smiled. I looked at the desk and looked in the corner of my eye to see Mrs.Hornsby also smiling causing me to smile. He wrote something down then passed it along to his wife.

"Diego Hornsby," he held out his hand. I shook it. His was very firm. He cleared his throat. "So I was reviewing your file along with some other things and I found some interesting yet concerning things that we should maybe discuss," He advised. I didn't think there was anything bad about things I've done in the past but maybe I was wrong. "I know what you're thinking. Nothing's wrong it's just...what's the word," He thought. "Fascinating," Mr.Hornsby added.

"Okay, what would you like to discuss," I mumbled looking at my shoes. Mrs.Hornsby passed the note back to her husband and he was quick to read it then hide it. I started humming the Kai-Lan theme song again and clapping my hands. They both looked over at me with a confused look on their faces.

"Are you okay?" Mrs.Hornsby asked. I got up and walked over to her. I sat on her lap and hugged her. She hugged me back and gently stroked my hair.

"See I told you so," she whispered to her husband. He sighed and came closer to me looking at her.

"How did you figure out? And I didn't think she could get this out of control." He smiled.

"The security cameras can tell you a lot you know," She teased.

"Tired," I yawned and rested my head on her shoulder. She patted my back.

"Did you sleep last night?" Mrs.Hornsby whispered. I shook my head. "Why not?" She asked.

"Too busy thinking," I admitted. I shut my eyes a little bit.

"Are you comfortable telling us what about?" Mr.Hornsby asked.

"Maybe, I don't know," I shrugged. They both nodded. "Can I sleep now?" I asked.

"Yes hunny, you can sleep now," Mrs.Hornsby affirmed. I closed my eyes completely. She pulled me closer on her lap and used one hand to push me so I wouldn't fall off. She started to fill something out. I opened my eyes slightly and looked at her hair.

"Pretty hair," I said as I reached for the brown wave.

"Thank you hun," she whispered. She started to hum a lulaby making me fall asleep in her arms.
