The CEO's Return (Tracy and Alex)

Alex

I wanted to stay away from Tracy but I couldn't, I wanted to know what she is thinking, I wanted to know how she felt, I made her work in my office with me but then she didn't spare me a glance.

I even told one of the security guards to tamper with her car so I can offer her a ride. Before I could offer her that ride she called her man and he came to pick her.

I was frustrated and annoyed but there was nothing I could do, I drove myself home and I went straight to bed.

I couldn't sleep, I kept turning on my bed thinking about everything that happened today, my heart is rejoicing that my wife is closer to me now but my heart is also broken that I lost her to another man.

I drifted into a restless sleep with the resolution that I'd get my wife back and I woke up the next morning to a message from James, saying he's on a case as a private detective and he traveled out to carry it out, he didn't say it but I know he's trying to tell me the investigation he's carrying out for me would be put on hold.

My stomach grumbled but I ignored it because I had to get to work, there are mountains of work that needs to be tackled and tons of meeting to attend.

I took my bath and dressed in a blue suit, blue tie, black shoes, I got into my car and I drove to work.

Tracy's car was still in the parking lot, but then it must have been there since yesterday, I made my way to my office where Tracy was waiting already beside my well-organized table.

"Good morning sir, you have a meeting with one of our clients by 9:00 am this morning, it would last an hour long and then you have to go through the documents the manager left earlier, there are documents you have to sign too, you have to go through the adjustment made on the mining project too." She said then stared at me blankly.

I loathe the fact that she's talking to me like we have never been anything other than boss and employee, it is so annoying that the woman that once looks at me like I'm her world is now barely sparing me glances, it is very annoying.

I stared at her for a while then I shook my head and I sat down.

"Let's start on the documents, have you finished arranging the clients' names?"

"No

"Then let's

over and touch her. She didn't spare me a glance, she was so focused, she has always been focused, but right now I want her to lose

I didn't know how long I was staring at her until the wristwatch beeped, I looked away as she looked at the

is in 10 minutes." She

released a low growl and I paused, Tracy turned to look at me, I felt uncomfortable because she was staring at me

you eat anything?." She asked and I looked away like a child

again this time with a mother-like tone,

Because I remember we are supposed to talk about

you almost all the time, if anything happens to you I would be held responsible, so tell

"Lunch."

"Lunch when?" She

"Lunch meeting."

You barely ate anything, you kept drinking

you worried?" I asked, if I'm

kids to take care of." She held my hand

are

get you something

in less than 10 minutes," I said and she released my hand, I regret saying

"We are getting you food

until the CEO of the other company was smiling widely

frown as I tried to process what was going on but I didn't have any logical excuse other than he's flirting with

meeting was torture but I endured and I was glad when the meeting came to an
