Page 47 of Rescuing Riley

---

Mr. Gansett called her name, but Riley kept going. Taylor was the only person Riley wanted to talk to.

The hallway was empty. She ran to every office on the floor. No Taylor. Riley checked the restroom. No Taylor.

Riley asked Candace where Taylor went.

“She ran out and into the elevator,” Candace said. “What’s going on?”

Riley wished she knew.

Her phone would stop ringing then start up again. She took the elevator down to the lobby, but she struck out in finding Taylor.

Riley had to give the woman props for her disappearing act.

Riley hurried outside and into a cluster of people going in all directions, when her darn phone went off again.

“What?” she answered in a rude tone. Then she held her breath. If it were a client, she would be mortified.

“Oh my God. Finally.”

“Liza, is that you?”

The world around Riley came to a complete stop.
