Chapter 0234
Mark’s POV
I looked up from the man speaking when the door opened and my assistant quickly walked in, his quick strides quickly diminishing the space between us.
There was an apologetic look on his face and might I say, also a happy one.
What exactly was making him happy? I thought, irritated. Another business deal? Another alliance or merger?
He apologized to me then to the members of the meeting then he lowered himself till we were the same height since I remained seated. He tapped on the screen of the phone he held up.
After Sydney left for Italy in search of her lover boy, my life had been nothing but work and taking care of Aiden. I threw myself more into work not just because she wasn’t around but because she once again left for another man.
Aiden was the only cute, adorable and concise remainder of her and so I made as much time as I could for him especially since Grace was always busy these days.
But since she went missing, even little Aiden could tell that
something had changed. I no longer smiled. I always tried for Aiden but I just couldn’t and whenever I forced myself, I always ended up scaring Aiden with the smile which always brought tears to his eyes so I just stopped.
J became so cold that apart from Aiden and Grace who had no choice, no one wanted to approach me or be around me for more
than a couple of minutes. It was so unfortunate that the people I worked with had to suffer through a business meeting, talk or
Instructions with me all the time
The suspicion rose when we couldn’t reach Sydney after a month in Baby Grace and I decided to wait a month more before we filed a masing person report that month was the longest month I’ve ever
ved through
A month came then another and it was official, Sydney was either deceased or missing but I strongly held onto the latter and believed. that she would be found.
Now back to my assistant. For him to have the guts to interrupt my meeting for a phone call then his reasoning facility was either faulty. or the call was invaluable.
I signaled for him to go on.
“Mr Mark,” he started, “I just received a call from the embassy in Italy.
My ears perked up and I quickly sat up not minding who was watching
“They said miss Sydney has been found and will shortly be on a flight back.” His voice trembled with excitement. He knew what this meant for me.
My heart jumped in excitement and happiness and my long–lost smile reappeared. My assistant also smiled. I snatched the phone. from his grasp and placed it on my ear.
“You’re speaking with Mark Torres, CEO of GT Group.
They explained what my assistant had just told me in fuller details
