The CEO's Return (Tracy and Alex) novel Chapter 31

Alex

I don't need a soothsayer to tell me things are not fine between Nora and Tracy, I have to admit that I didn't expect Nora and Tracy to know each other and when I realized Nora was trying to bully Tracy with her words I couldn't help but defend her the way I can.

I was proud of Tracy for standing up for herself, and when she kissed me, I knew she was acting but I lifted her, gladly receiving.

"Sorry I had to use you for that." She said as she came down after Nora left.

"Nah, you can use me for that anytime," I said and she nodded.

She was moving towards the kitchen but I stopped her and led her to the sofa where we sat down.

"Tracy."

"What?."

"If you don't mind I'd like you to tell me what happened? Where do you know Nora from? I mean she sounded very harsh, and all."

"Well, Nora used to stay here in Philadelphia, her family moved to New York ten years ago, and as for what happened, let's just say I faced one of my biggest nightmares."

"Really?, I don't know, you see, Nora was very nice when we were in New York, I don't understand that attitude she gave just now."

"Alex, I lived in the same community with Nora and I went to the same school with Nora for nine good years, and those nine years were nightmares if you are talking about what she does whenever she wants someone to think she is nice, the whole changing her voice, blinking like she has blepharospasm, smiling like a fool thing, yeah you see that whole thing is acting."

"The accuracy, I mean she acts exactly like that."

"As I said, I went to the same school with her." She said and I nodded

"So what did you buy?" I asked changing the topic.

"Foodstuffs."

"Oh."

"I need to make some cookies."

"Okay."

She went to the kitchen and minutes later I could small cookies, I was very tempted to go to the kitchen and ask for one but I didn't. She came out from the kitchen when she finished making the cookies.

"Have you taken your medicine?" She asked sitting on another sofa.

"Yeah."

"Okay then, you should rest."

"I've been resting ma'am," I replied chuckling

"Yeah, just don't worry about anything, I took care of work, Tony is in charge and he sent me feedback this morning, all you'd be doing is signing some documents but it is nothing urgent, and yes Tony said something about a branch in Florida." She said lifting her brows.

"Yeah well, I thought we would be staying in Florida right now, so there is a branch there and another branch here in your hometown.

"Well, he said he received reports and feedbacks from the manager there, so he sent them to me, when you feel like it, you can check them."

"Okay."

"One more thing, Tony said you gave him go-ahead, he approved some contracts and they are working on them already." She said and I nodded.

"Okay then, I'd leave you to rest." She said standing up

"Can't you just stay with me?"

"Sorry?"

"I said can't you just stay with me?"

"Why?" She asked surprised

"Because I'm not exactly tired, and I'd love it if we do some online shopping for our kids," I said sitting up
