Loved by the Billionaire & his Bodyguard

"I'm sorry Chelsea; I need to get away from Bay's Beach. With everything that's happened; I can't be here anymore. Besides; I want to do something with my life and get use of the administration diploma, I studied for" Amanda says to her best friend since primary school. "I'm going to Peninsula tomorrow and there's nothing more you can say to me about it."

Chelsea, Veronica and Amanda were inseparable growing up in the small beachside community. Pity a man put a wedge between the trio.

Peter; Amanda's fiancé left her for Veronica. "He was so gutless only sending you a text message. The least he could have done is face you" Chelsea voices her opinion for the millionth time.

She was heartbroken and pissed at how he broke it off. Yes; they didn't set a date for the wedding; but that was his fault, not hers. She had a suspicion he wasn't being faithful; long before the text message and Chelsea reminds her of this. "I did tell you, I thought Vonny and him were spending too much time together. They are both cowards."

"I know Chels. I am also aware of the whispers behind my back. Poor Mandy; having Peter dump her like that. And, can you believe Veronica; throwing away a friendship that's lasted almost two decades and they are the good whispers" Amanda spits back at her.

"That's why you need to come to Dean's Bar. Besides; I don't want to go alone" Chelsea says pouting in her direction.

"What about Jamie? Doesn't he want to go?" Amanda asks Chelsea. Jamie is Chelsea's on again; off again boyfriend. At the moment, they are on again.

"Nah; he's out of town; some photography portfolio he has to do. I just want to go out and have a few drinks" Chelsea replies, her brown eyes, giving Amanda a sad puppy dog look.

"Ok, ok. I'll go; but only for a few drinks. I have to leave early tomorrow for the train station" Amanda answers; Chelsea's mousy brown hair bouncing around her shoulders as Amanda caves in.

"I have the perfect dress you can borrow. It will set off your blue eyes" Chelsea tells her; giving her a perfect smile and heading to the closet.

"I don't know; it looks expensive" Amanda says shaking her auburn hair from side to side; her last-ditch excuse not working as Chelsea places the blue cocktail dress up to show her.

"This old thing? Nah. Jamie bought it for me and you know how much of a cheapskate he is. You can have it. It suits you more than it suits me" Chelsea responds; giving Amanda the dress before she heads into the bathroom to get changed.

"I don't know; it's a bit short" Amanda calls out from the bathroom; still trying to forego the decision to go to the bar. "That's the point" Chelsea yells back and Amanda walks out of the bathroom; pulling the back of the dress down as low as it will allow her to.

"It's perfect" Chelsea smiles as she changes into an emerald green off the shoulder piece.

By the time they finished getting dressed; the butterflies were starting to settle in Amanda's stomach. She hasn't been out since Peter sent her the text message. Bay's Beach is a small town and everyone knows what happened. She loved living there but she was over the whispers regarding how things ended and the rumours spread around by Peter and Veronica.

"You'll be fine" Chelsea says, giving her a side hug and they both head out the front door to the waiting Uber; quite frankly it's the only Uber in town.

"Mandy; nice to see you out and about" Dean calls out from behind the bar.

"This is her going away celebration; keep the drinks coming, Dean" Chelsea says as Dean brings over Amanda's Bacardi Spritzer and Chelsea's Flaming Cowboy.

"Who's that?" Amanda asks, seeing; a gorgeous man come in through the front door with his group. He's brown shoulder length hair is brushed back and his chocolate brown eyes survey the room.

"I don't know. I think he was with the high-end wedding that came up for the weekend" Chelsea informs her and Amanda's heart sinks.

The one guy she does notice; is off limits. No rich man will look at a girl like her. "Here's to seeing someone off limits. Story of my life" Amanda giggles, tilting her Bacardi spritzer towards Chelsea before taking a sip.

"Asshole alert; 10 o'clock" Chelsea whispers and Amanda glances to the doorway. 'No; this isn't happening to me. How dare he come in here. I can't believe he bought her with him' Amanda yells to herself, trying to move herself further into the booth and sinking down to hide herself.

"Mandy; are you ok? Oh shit!" Chelsea screams and Amanda looks up, just in time to see Peter and Veronica stop in front of their booth.

"What the fuck do you want?" Amanda snarls at the pair.

"Aren't you going to offer us a seat?" Peter questions, smirking a pompous grin at her. "I don't have to do shit; Peter. Do you think you can come here and it's all hunky dory? You broke off our engagement with me; through a text message, mind you. And you think you have the right to come here and talk to me. Fuck off" Amanda screams at the pair.

"Calm down! There's no need to be like that, Mand..." "Be like what; exactly. You called yourself my best friend and you stand here telling me to calm down? You are something, you know that?" Amanda continues yelling; cutting off Veronica.

"Is everything ok, Sweet Pea?" A husky voice says to Amanda as she feels his arms come around her waist and she melts a little into the Greek god and he pecks her on the cheek.

"Not really; these people are annoying me" Amanda spits back at her ex-fiancé and ex-best friend and relief comes on his face, she is playing along with him.

"And who are you?" Peter asks, narrowing his eyes and clenching his fists beside him. "None of your fucking business. And drop the jealous act; we are over. Isn't that what the text said? Sorry to do this to you but I can't keep going through the charade. I am in love with Vonny" Amanda seethes at Peter and he drops his face and looks at Veronica.

"I am Tobias Sommerville. And you are?" Toby snaps, raising an eyebrow at him.

"We better leave them; Petey" Veronica says, slinky away to a nearby booth and Peter stands there glaring at Toby for a few more moments before backing down and heading to Veronica.

Amanda was about to open my mouth to yell at Peter some more and was stopped by Toby. "Come Sweet Pea; I think this bar is getting overcrowded" he says and takes her hand, leading her outside.

"I'll see you tomorrow, before I leave" Amanda says to Chelsea, smiling. She knows there is no hope for her now; but at least for a few moments she will have a god in her arms.

"Where are we going?" Amanda asks Toby and he smirks in her direction. "Now you are officially in my arms; I thought we could do something together" he answers and Amanda takes a few steps back.

"Um; thanks for your help, Tobias. I do appreciate it. But I don't think w..." her train of thought leaving her as he kisses her hard on the lips. Her mouth opening, allowing his tongue to find its way in.

"Wrong answer" he chuckles as the pair pull apart. "And call me Toby. You say Tobias and I look around for my father."

'It's the only answer I have. I barely know..." he cuts her off, kissing her again.

"Still wrong answer" he smirks and Amanda pulls away from him.

"I didn't say you can go" he responds; grabbing her arm and wrapping her in his embrace.

Amanda looks at him and realises; she is a goner. He is one hell of a man and she wants to; what did he say? 'Do something together'.

"What do you want to do?" Amanda finally asks Toby; admitting defeat and relieving the silence between them and he takes her hand and walk across the road, towards the little hotel he was staying at.

"I have a few ideas" Toby chuckles and he pulls a door key from his pocket and opens the door to his room.

Amanda sucks in her breath as she looks at Toby's features. Up close he is very handsome; strong features, dark chocolate brown eyes and a dimple in his right cheek. Goosebumps appear on her arms as he pulls her close to him; kissing her. His tongue searching for dominance in her mouth. His lips move down her jawline, slowly moving to her neck as she groans with anticipation.

"Toby" Amanda moans, his hands moving behind her; undoing the zip on the back of the dress. It falls to floor as he lays her down on the bed. Propping himself over her; Toby kisses down her chest, sucking her breasts. The wetness between her legs starts to beg for him to take her.

"Sweet Pea; you need to tell me what you want" Toby murmurs into her neck. "I want" Amanda starts to answer, undoing his pants and stroking his dick and he groans into her mouth.

"I want to have you" she whispers and he thrusts himself inside her as Amanda squeals with pleasure.

Their bodies entwine as he moves his shaft in and out of Amanda's core. Her climax building; "Toby" she groans softly. "Yes, Sweet Pea" he moans as he thrusts himself into her again.

"I'm going to cum" Amanda breathes and Toby slows down; "Not yet" he says, smiling; giving her another kiss and moving slowly as her orgasm takes hold and she shouts out his name again.

"Holy Fuck" Toby says; thrusting one last time before falling on top of her. "You are one hell of a woman."

"Me? No..." She starts to say before he lifts her chin and starts kissing her again. "Don't sell yourself short to anyone. You are and will always be my Sweet Pea" he says and pulls Amanda on top to straddle him.

Amanda leans down to kiss him again; Toby's dick twitching to start over. She moves her body, opening her slit to him as he places his dick to her entrance and she pushes herself down onto his shaft. Moving his shaft around her core and groaning his name.

"Mandy; I want you to say it" Toby says and she gives him a puzzled look.

"Say what?" she asks as he slows her movements, once more. "I want you to say, you are one hell of a woman and you are my Sweet Pea."

Amanda moves herself around his shaft and he slows her down again. "Say it" he demands.

"I'm..I'm..I'mm you're...Sweet Pea" she screams another orgasm out and he pushes her underneath as he continues thrusting his shaft into Amanda's core. "And are you one hell of a woman?" he asks her.

"Yes" she says breathlessly as he thrusts one last time into her and wraps his arms around her.

"Is she what you thought she would be?" Henry, Toby's best friend and second in charge asks him.

Toby knows he wants to get the scoop on the gorgeous red head; but he doesn't want to talk to him about it. She was gone this morning, when he woke up. And Sarah called to tell him they are having trouble with the sale of some land in Fortitude.

"Are you even listening to me?" Henry fumes.

"Huh?" Toby asks; looking at Henry bewildered. "Our plane will be ready to leave in the hour and I need to get back to see Dad" he finally answers him; hoping this is what Henry was talking about.

"And the redhead?" Henry asks.

"What about her; she left before I woke up" he tells him. He doesn't want to come across; he was upset about her leaving. He was going to ask if she would like to join him for a few weeks. Clearly, last night meant more to him than it did to her. Sure; he has had a few one-night stands in the past. But she was different; Toby could tell just by looking at her.

"And you aren't upset. You were saying you found your future Mrs Sommerville" Henry mocks, eyeing him suspiciously.

"Why would I be?" Toby informs him, taking his luggage out to the hire car and sitting in the driver's seat. "Are you coming?"

"Davison is wanting another meeting. He is getting cold feet regarding the sale of his land" Henry says, finally changing the subject.

Toby and Henry understand the Davison Ranch has been in the family for many years. But this sale means big things for Sommerville Shopping Malls Inc. His Ranch will ensure a new mall and plenty of work for a growing community. Sommerville Shopping Malls Inc are spread throughout the country; allowing all shops to be housed in the one venue and customers can do their shopping without going all over town to find what they need.

Thankfully they own a private jet and the flight was carefree, with no additional questions regarding Amanda. At least until they got off the plane and Sarah was waiting on the tarmac for them.

"Your father wants to see you as soon as you get into the office" she says as Henry and Toby reach the car and Ramirez opens the rear door for them.

"I figured as much" Toby answers the slightly greying brunette as Henry, Sarah and he climb into the waiting car and Ramirez speeds off to the CBD, towards the Sommerville Shopping Malls 12 story office building.

"And Miranda would like you to go over the applications for admin assistants" Sarah mentions; handing him a manilla folder full of resumes.

"She can make the decision by herself" Toby remarks, opening his laptop to read the 114 emails sent during his time away.

"How was the wedding?" Sarah finally asks, as he gives up on the emails and shuts his laptop again.

"Long winded and boring" he answers, not giving any more information. The more he keeps to himself; the less questions are asked.

"Ask him about the redhead?" Henry mocks, nudging Toby in the ribs and he lets out a sigh; 'less questions unless you have Henry with you' Toby mutters to himself.

"Enough about her. We met; we kissed and had fun. Nothing more" he snarls, staring Henry down; to advise him to shut the hell up.

They sat in silence for the remaining 10-minute trip to the building and Toby heads straight to his office on the 12th floor, where his father was waiting for him. Placing the resumes on his desk; he sits down to look at his father. "Can you believe Cameron Davison wants to pull out of the sale. Something about looking after the existing shops in Fortitude" Tobias starts.

"We have been over this. I'm not going to throw away the hard work those shop owners have done for Fortitude; we are reallocating them. We will be giving all 73 shops the opportunity to work within the shopping mall. He isn't in any financial stability to be knocking our offer; he needs this to upgrade to a larger ranch" Toby informs his father.

"That is true, son. We need to ensure we are doing what is best for his ranch. I have scheduled a meeting for next Tuesday. Play nice with him. Cuddle up to him to get the deal done" Tobias informs him.

'A little over a week,' Toby thinks to himself. He can work out a plan to ensure Cameron Davison comes to the table.

"Is there anything else?" Toby asks him and his father pauses to look at him.

"No. How was the wedding?" Tobias finally questions.

"Normal and long. Too many people pissed off their faces" he frowns.

Toby gave up alcohol towards the end of university; He's father thinks he is following in his footsteps. Tobias senior always said; 'we need to keep our minds fresh, for any given moment.' He struggled at first but it was the best decision he has made. Toby sees his friends slowly losing control with alcohol consumption and he has his wits about him.

Toby pulls out the resumes and start scanning through them. "What's that, son?" Tobias asks.

He pauses what he is doing. "Resumes for the new admin assistant" Toby tells him and proceeds to look through them again. "I figured after the last time; Miranda needs a little help in recruiting."

The last time Miranda got a new admin assistant; she found someone dumber than dog shit. Toby vowed she was not to hire any more.

"I will leave you to it. Your mother wants you and Joyce around for dinner Sunday. No excuses" Tobias injects before leaving the office and shutting the door behind him. "Tell that to Joyce; she is off, galivanting to god knows where" Toby calls out after him and continues scanning the resumes.

"Holy Fuck!" he screams, coming to the second last resume. Amanda's picture posted at the top of the page. Amanda Frost; Diploma in Administration from Bay's Beach Community College. "I think we have just found our new Administration Assistant" he smiles; picking up the office phone to call Miranda.

"Hello" Miranda answers, after the second ring.

"Miranda; I have just gone over the resumes. I have narrowed it down to one. Amanda Frost; when can we get her in for an interview?" Toby asks her.

"Are you sure? I was planning on interviewing a few more. Those with experience" she sarcastically answers him.

"Nope; we need her. I will leave it to you to schedule the interview" he remarks and hangs up the phone. 'My first question will be; why did she leave me?' Toby thinks to himself as Miranda calls him back.

"Yes" he answers the ringing phone.

"Mr Sommerville; I know you said you want Amanda Frost. I was looking through the resumes again and I think Belinda Spence is more suited for the job" Miranda comes through the headset.

"Did I ask you what you thought? I told you; I want Amanda and you are going to bring her in for the interview" Toby yells at her.

"But sir; this is an administration position. Amanda doesn't have the necessary experience. I believe Belinda will be better suited for the position" she argues and Toby pinches the bridge of my nose. He used to make fun of father doing this. But the more he worked as CEO; he understands why Tobias did what he did and he finds himself mimicking him more and more.

"Fine; if you want to interview Belinda as well; so be it. But they will have to take a pay cut and share the salary. I will have Amanda, if you like it or not" Toby spits at her and hangs up the phone again, before it goes off, yet again.

"What?" Toby screams as he sees Miranda's extension flash on the phone again.

"So, you are telling me; we can have both women working in admin?" Miranda asks him.

Toby inhales a deep breath and lets it out slowly. "Yes; I am willing to give you two administration assistants. I will sort it out with HR" he finally responds, calmly. "Please make the necessary interviews."

"Thank you, Mr Sommerville. We really need the help down here on the 4th floor" Miranda answers and hangs up the phone.

Toby sits back in his chair and picks up the landline again, pushing the extension to Human Resources. "Mr Sommerville; what's up?" Fredrick says after the third ring.

"I have Miranda interviewing for two administration assistants. I need you to do a package for both and how they can share the responsibility" he informs the Human Resource Officer.

"Done; how was your vacation?" Fredrick asks.

"I would hardly call, my third cousin's wedding a vacation. It was good to get away for a few days" Toby sighs.

"If you need me for anything else; just call" Fredrick responds, before hanging up and Miranda sends through an email.

Both interviews are in two days. Two long days, before he sees Amanda again. "I need to keep her out of my mind. It's clear the feelings were one sided" he whispers and opens his laptop to start on the mammoth job of answering the emails.

"You didn't have to move with me; you know?" Amanda says to Chelsea. Admiration on her face towards her best friend. How she could just move to a new city when her life in Bay's Beach was just starting, away from her parents.

"Jamie is in Peninsula more than he is at Bay's Beach. It was the only decision to make" Chelsea says, heading to the closet. "Now for the perfect interview outfit for you. Something that screams hire me."

"It's just an administration assistant's job. The job description says we will be compiling reports for marketing and management" Amanda informs her.

"And hoping you meet the gorgeous CEO you had in your arms a few days ago" Chelsea mocks as Amanda's face turns a nice shade of pink.

"I doubt he comes out of his office to interview a mere admin assistant" Amanda whispers, shaking her auburn hair.

"But he will be in the same building" Chelsea smiles.

Amanda had thought of this and hoped she will at least catch a glimpse of him; but she didn't dare tell Chelsea her thoughts. Although Chels knows her better than she knows herself. She woke up around 4am after her and Toby's encounter. She was moving the same day and decided she didn't want to complicate their lives by staying. She applied for the position of administration assistant a few weeks before she left Bay's Beach; not expecting an interview, due to her lack of experience.

"Here; this will do it" Chelsea says, handing Amanda her navy slacks with a pale blue blouse.

"I have outfits of my own" Amanda fumes at her.

"I know; but this outfit screams; take me, I'm yours" Chelsea giggles and Amanda rolls her eyes before heading into the bathroom to shower and change. "What time is the interview?"

"9.30" Amanda calls back, double checking her watch before getting under the spray of the shower.

"You better get a move on. I've booked the Uber for 30 minutes. It will be easier than trying to find your way around the city. You don't want to be late for your destiny" Chelsea calls out and Amanda comes out of the bathroom 10 minutes later.

After applying her makeup; Amanda looks at Chelsea. "Wish me luck?" she says.

"Luck? You don't need it. You have this in the bag" Chelsea replies, giving her a hug as Amanda walks out the door to the waiting Uber.

It took the driver 15 minutes to get to the Sommerville Shopping Malls Inc office building and Amanda smiles at him, before climbing out of the car. "Don't forget to rate me, 5 stars" the driver calls out the window as he takes off up the street.

Amanda stands there looking up at the 12-story building. "You can do this" she whispers to herself and walks in through the main doors and heads to the reception desk.

The blonde lady; Karen by the name tag on her chest, sits there staring at her. "I'm Amanda. I'm here for an interview with Miranda" Amanda informs her.

Karen narrows her eyes at Amanda and picks up her phone to talk with someone. "You can take a seat over there" she huffs, pointing to a plush grey sofa.

"Ok; that was a bit rude" she mutters and goes to sit next to the dark-haired lady on the sofa.

"Hi; I'm Belinda. You must be the other administration interviewee. Miranda said she will be interviewing both of us together. Apparently, the CEO decided he needs two of us and we were narrowed down" Belinda; a darked haired lady, with tanned skin in her early 20's says to Amanda.

"How do you know?" Amanda asks her.

"Miranda, when she called me for my interview. She informed me they will be interviewing for two, not one job as advertised" she says, smiling.

"I wonder if she will be a good boss" Amanda says. Before Belinda could respond, a brown-haired lady comes over and introduces herself.

"I'm Miranda. It's good to meet you Belinda and you must be Amanda" Miranda says, extending her hand to Amanda and Belinda. Both ladies shake Miranda's hand; "the interview will be in the boardroom on the 4th floor. Follow me."

They trio head up the elevator and down the hall. "Mr Sommerville is waiting for us" Miranda smiles and Amanda's heart skips a beat as she looks to the corner of the boardroom to see Toby sitting in a chair, looking through paperwork.

"You must be our new recruits" Toby says, smiling at Belinda and Amanda. "Please take a seat."

"Mr Sommerville; we are only here..." "Shh" Belinda says, stopping Amanda for voicing this is an interview and Toby narrows his eyes at her.

"I'm well aware; this is an interview Miss Frost" Toby frowns at her and Amanda's heart sinks further to the pit of her stomach. "What made you choose Sommerville Shopping Malls as a career?"

"Umm; I was moving here from Bay's Beach, four hours away. I saw the online application and followed up by looking into what you do. I may not have experience of the inner workings of a shopping mall and this is a weakness of mine; but I do like to challenge myself and feel this will be an opportunity I can't pass up. Turn my weakness into a strength" Amanda replies the rehearsed lines she did with Chelsea. She wanted to also say, she applied for the position before our rendezvous; however, she kept that to herself.

Toby smirks at her before turning his attention to Belinda; "And what about you, Miss Spence. Why did you decided to choose a career with Sommerville Shopping Malls Inc?"

'God his gorgeous. I wish I could just take him on the table'; "Miss Frost?" Toby interrupts her thoughts, smirking at her as Amanda brings herself back to the room, blushing.

"Sorry?" Amanda says to them and looks down at the contract that was placed in front of her. 'Holy Crap; is he for real? He wants to pay me $80,000 a year for an administration assistant. This can't be right;' Amanda thinks and she was about to voice her concerns when Toby interrupts her.

"Miranda; can you please show Miss Spence around the office? I have a few more questions for Miss Frost before we are done" Toby asks and Miranda ushers Belinda out of the boardroom; shutting the door behind her.

"Mr Sommer..." Amanda was about to say, when Toby moves by her quickly. She can smell the spicey scent of his aftershave. The same scent she hoped to smell again. "Sweet Pea; why did you leave without saying goodbye?" he asks her and her face turns a new shade of red.

"I um; I was leaving for Peninsula and I didn't want to complicate our lives" Amanda whispers, looking around her and realising how her life just went to a whole new level of complication.

"Complicating my life; what do you call this?" Toby fumes at her.

"I applied for the job; two weeks before we met at Dave's. How was I supposed to know you were the CEO of Sommerville Shopping Malls?" Amanda answers Toby's question; raising her voice slightly.

"Ahh; my name is Sommerville and raising your voice at your new boss; not a good first impression" Toby smirks at her and Amanda gets up to leave.

"I'm sorry; I have taken up too much of your time, Mr Sommerville" Amanda finishes; her heart breaking into a million pieces as she heads for the door.

"I didn't say you can go" Toby fumes, grabbing Amanda's arm. "You are not leaving here; you are mine; Sweet Pea and I want you. I will ask Miranda to show you around the office."

Amanda was left dumbfounded as Toby leaves the boardroom. 'What just happened?' she asks herself as Miranda comes into the boardroom. "Follow me. You and Belinda will be sharing a cubicle. Please sign the contract and drop it off at HR. You will start immediately according to your contract and will be on probation for three months. Belinda had to tie up some loose ends and she will start 9am tomorrow morning" Miranda finishes, looking at Amanda.

The two ladies head to the small cubicle area and Amanda sits down to read the contract. "You want me to do what, exactly?" Amanda finally asks. The contract doesn't outline her role as much as she thought it would.

"You and Belinda will share the responsibility. Both of you will write up the reports for marketing and management. Your password for your computer is 1234ABC; in capitals. We recommend you change it as soon as possible as this is the default password for all the computers. Make yourself at home" Miranda responds; leaving her alone in the cubicle.

'Regardless Toby is here; I'm not going to find a job that pays this well. I will just have to remain professional' Amanda says to herself and signs the last page of the contract and heads out the door. "Where do I find HR?" she asks a man near the elevators.

"Third floor; I'll take you" he responds. "Henry" he says, offering his hand to Amanda.

"Amanda" she answers, shaking Henry's hand and looking at him, before gasping as she realises, she had seen him before at Dave's Bar and starts to shift on the balls of her feet.

"I'm the Finance manager here, 2 IC and Toby's best friend" Henry grins, finally breaking the silence as they both step onto the elevator.

"Right" Amanda says, trying to hide her face with the contract. She doesn't want to give away she is uncomfortable, even though he hasn't done anything to make her feel uncomfortable; except knowing her and Toby had a passionate night together.

"Here we are; I will leave you in Fred's capable hands" Henry says, smirking at Amanda as she walks into the HR office.

By the time Amanda finished the paperwork for HR and he printed the contract in triplicate; giving Amanda a copy. It was almost lunchtime. "Where do we go for lunch around here?" Amanda asks Fredrick.

"Lunch is normally at 12.30;" Fredrick answers her, smiling as he looks at his watch. "Head up to your office for the next 45 minutes. Most of us normally head to Café Latte for lunch which is on the ground floor. I may see you there."

Nodding her head; Amanda heads to her joint cubicle and sits down; "now for the password change" Amanda whispers to herself and she turns on her computer. She finally changes the password to her usual; Mand!2000 and opens up her emails, shock plastered on her face, to see an email from Toby.

'My office; now' is the only thing it states. She looks at the time stamp. It was sent two minutes ago; 'is he keeping tabs on me?' Amanda thought fuming and pulls out the map Fredrick gave her to see where Toby's office is and heads back to the elevator.
