The CEO's Return (Tracy and Alex) novel Chapter 14

Tracy

I was very surprised to see Sam, the last time I saw him was when he left the country to attend a business school in New York.

I knew I shouldn't be smiling during a business meeting but I couldn't resist it, his smile was contagious.

Sam had a crush on me in school but my brothers never allowed him to express his feelings for me, they were always chasing him or threatening to beat him up if he comes too close to me, but then that was in the past, he is probably married now.

I gave him my number and I followed Alex out of the company to get something to eat, luckily there is a Cafe close to the company that serves breakfast and brunch, I got him croissant and coffee, I watched him eat unable to look away.

I don't know why I worry about him, I feel really stupid worrying about the man who left me pregnant and came back to accuse me of infidelity, but then no matter how hard I tried not to, I still worry about him, I want to tease him like I used to, I want him to hug me like he used to.

He finished eating and we went back to the company, we continued working from where we stopped.

By exactly twelve I got a text from Sam saying I should meet him downstairs so I can take him for lunch, I was excited that I would be meeting a friend from school for the first time in years.

"I'm going for lunch, try to eat something too," I told Alex standing up to leave

"You are going to meet him, aren't you?" Alex asked dropping his pen

"I don't understand."

"I am not blind Tracy, I saw you two flirting during the meeting."

"Flirting?" I asked genuinely confused

"You know what I'm talking about, I saw you two, smiling and waving at each other."

"And you call that flirting?" I asked getting pissed.

"If it is not then I don't know what it is." He replied folding his arms

"You need to get your head checked."

"Stop talking to me like that and start planning on sticking to one man." He said and something snapped in me, I'm not sure it's my heart because that was broken a long time ago.

"Mind your business Sir, it's my personal life," I replied then turned to walk away

I don't know how he did it but he was beside me before I could even get to the, he back to face, I was startled.

"What do you want?" I asked surprised that my voice didn't crack

"I forbid you from seeing that guy."

"And why would I listen to you?"

"We are still married! We are not divorced yet and if people see you with another man and they found out we are married it won't speak well for me or the company." He replied tightening his hold on me

"How about you get the divorce paper and let's sign it already, let go of me," I yelled pushing him off, I left as fast as I could, glad he didn't follow me.

I went to the restroom and I did a little bit of crying, it took me minutes to control myself because the tears won't just stop coming, I don't know why Alex is making it hard on me, I don't know how why he kept hurting me, he is not making things clear to me and I'm sick and tired of it.

When I was sure I won't burst into tears again, I washed my face, dried it, and repacked my hair, I went downstairs to find Sam waiting for me in the parking lot.

"Hey, what took you so long?." He asked

"I'm so sorry, I had to take care of few things."
