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?"
