Chapter 6 - Confronting Security At The High Rise Corporate Headquarters
Desperate to repair the catastrophic damage to his life, David bought a last-minute coach flight from Dallas to New York City.
He stood in the grand glass lobby of Vance Capital Management, wearing a wrinkled suit and clutching a bouquet of red roses.
"I need to see Jessica Vance immediately! I’m her fiancé!" David demanded loudly at the main security check-in desk.
The head guard looked at David’s name on his screen, noting the red security clearance ban placed beside his photograph.
"Mr. Miller, Mrs. Vance has explicitly instructed us that you are not permitted anywhere on these premises," the guard replied sternly.
David tried to push past the electronic turnstiles, raising his voice as afternoon commuters turned to stare at the commotion.
"Jessica, please! We can talk about this! My mother didn't mean any harm!" David shouted toward the private executive elevators.
Two heavy-set corporate security officers grabbed David by his shoulders, pinning his arms behind his back before he could take three steps.
They escorted him forcefully through the revolving glass doors, throwing him onto the wet Manhattan pavement in front of dozens of onlookers.

David looked up just in time to see Jessica watching him from her high floor office window, her face completely unreadable and cold.
