âYOU MUST LEAVE NOW, senyorita.â
Jordan Walsh tipped her head back, and back some more, until she stared into the face of the uniformed security guard who towered over her.
âIâm not leaving,â she told him, making no move to vacate the chair she had occupied for over two hours in the waiting area of this vast marble foyer.
The big manâs eyebrows beetled together. âYou must go. The building is closing.â
The building was the Vega Towerâa great big steel and glass monolith that rose from the heart of Barcelonaâs thriving business district and dwarfed everything around it. It had cost one point two billion US dollars to construct, had taken two years and three months from foundation to completion, and comprised forty-four floors of bustling head office activity for one of Europeâs largest and most successful multinational conglomerates.
Jordan was well acquainted with these facts because she had picked up the glossy hardbound book titled The Vega Corporation: Sixty Years of Success off the low table beside her and, out of sheer boredom, read the entire thing from front cover to back. Twice.
âIâm not leaving without an appointment to see Mr de la Vega,â she said.
This was not news to the security man. She had made the same request on her arrival, and again an hour ago when it had become obvious that his call to the CEOâs assistant had garnered no result.
