The CEO's Return (Tracy and Alex) novel Chapter 16

Tracy

Everything has been fine, not normal but fine, Michael and Michelle resumed school, Sam kept coming by to the company to join me for lunch, sometimes he take me for lunch somewhere else, I declined every other offer to meet with him somewhere besides the company.

The relationship between myself and Alex hasn't gotten any better, neither has it gotten any worst, it is just awkward.

When the manager sent me a message telling me to meet Alex at a location, I thought it was business until I got there and I realized I am meeting him in a house, the security guards told me to go through the main door, which was not locked.

I entered and I could see Alex laying on the Sofa, I panicked and rushed to his side immediately.

"Alex!" I called but he didn't move

"Alex!" I called again shaking him lightly this time around, he stirred but he didn't wake up.

"Alex!" I called a little bit louder this time

"Tracy? Tracy don't leave me." He said holding my hand

"I'm not leaving, tell me what is wrong, you look flushed."

"Nothing Tracy, I just have a terrible headache."

"Alex, you are burning up, what happened?" I asked worried

"Alex!" I called again hoping he'd answer but he didn't answer

"Alex!, Listen to me, I think you have a fever and I need you to tell me where the medicine kit is."

He opened his eyes slightly then pointed towards a shelf, the first aid box was on it.

I grabbed it and I opened it, I was thankful that it was well equipped, I took the thermometer and I checked Alex's temperature, it was 100.2F.

"Alex, where is your bedroom? I need to take you upstairs." I said shaking him lightly.

"Tracy I'm very tired." He replied in a very low voice making me pity him more than I already did.

I located the bathroom, thankfully it was not hard to find, I filled a basin with water and I grabbed one of the white towels in the bathroom.

I went back to the sitting room, dipped the towel the water, squeezed the water out then I used the towel to mop his face, I continued like that until he stopped sweating and his face looked less pale.

I knew he didn't eat anything other than the breakfast I gave him in the morning, so I went to his kitchen to make him something, I was alarmed to find absolutely nothing worth cooking in the fridge and cupboard the only thing eatable in the fridge is the apple, ice cream and orange inside.

I had to make do with that, I washed them then I sliced the apple, I peeled the orange too, and I took it to the sitting room and placed it on the stool.

"Alex, please try to sit up," I said tapping him lightly, he opened his eyes but didn't make any move to sit up, I gave him a hand and he sat up.

I fed him the apple and orange, he didn't eat a lot but he was able to get some down, I gave him drugs and he used them.

I managed to get him upstairs to his room, I tucked him in and he fell right asleep.

I went back downstairs and cleared everything, I returned everything where I found them.
