The CEO's Return (Tracy and Alex) novel Chapter 21

Alex

I thought about it for a while before I called Tracy that night, we talked for a while before I told her what I thought would be the right thing for us to do.

I suddenly started feeling nervous when I was about to ask her, so I asked her if I can see the kids tomorrow instead, she declined then I asked if I can see them on Sunday, she said she'd think about it, by then I've mustered enough courage to tell her what I thought.

"There is something else I'd like to request for, once again I'm thankful for everything you've done for our kids, I appreciate you, but I'd like that I and my kids are closer, you said it earlier that they asked of their father, that's why I thought if we all live together they would grow used to me, what I'm trying to say is how about you and the children move in with me?." I asked and for a few seconds, she was very quiet.

"Are you still there?" I asked to see if she hung up

"You are pushing your luck, sir." She said and she hung up, I was very pissed and disappointed that I threw my phone on the bed, it bounced and stayed at the edge, almost falling.

I knew Tracy won't make it easy for me, but then I'm ready to keep trying.

Unlike the night before I slept well and I dreamt about two pretty angels and their beautiful mother, the dream was mocking me, because in it we were a happy family.

I woke up the next morning pumped, I took my bath, dressed for work and I went to work early, Tracy was there already but it looked like she just arrived, and man she was looking hot, hotter than the first time I saw her after six years, I didn't know what changed but I like it.

"Good morning Sir." She greeted and I rolled my eyes, I didn't let her take my briefcase, I dropped it on the table and turned to reply to her.

"Good morning my love," I replied and she frowned

"Please don't do that, have breakfast first but there are a lot of things you have to do today." She said placing a sandwich in front of me with a latte, she tried to leave but I didn't let her, I held her and she struggled to remove her hand from mine, I stood up and turned to face her, I pulled her close by her waist and she looked into my eyes shocked, just like I wanted her too.

"Let go of me!"

"Why should I?" I asked

"Why shouldn't you?"

"I do what I like, we are at work and I'm the boss."

"Seriously?"

"Listen to me sweetheart, don't try to leave, but if you still want to, it's okay, I'd just clear the table, lay you on it and make sure you are unable to walk away from me for the next few hours," I whispered in her ear, I left her alone and started on my breakfast, I looked at her and her face was still upturned, her mouth slightly opened, I almost choked on my sandwich.

It took few minutes for her to compose herself and when she did, she didn't walk away like she was trying to earlier, she sat down in front of me instead.

Good thing she took my threat seriously because I was planning on carrying it out.

I ate breakfast while she read my schedule out to me, I had a lot to do but I wanted to try my luck with the kids hoping Tracy would change her mind about me seeing them today.

"When am I having the meetings again?" I asked

"You have a meeting by 10 am to 11 am, 1 pm to 2 pm."

"Hmm, so most of what I have to do today is going through documents?"

"Yes sir." She replied

"Tracy don't call me sir, call me daddy," I said flashing her a charming smile but she rolled her eyes

"Behave yourself."

"Okay ma'am, please tell them to make the meetings 30 mins each, and help me pack up the documents I'm supposed to go through, I'd do that at home."

"Okay."
