The CEO's Return (Tracy and Alex) novel Chapter 7

Alex

After I got to Philadelphia, I drove to my in law's house but I didn't dare to go inside, I waited outside in the car for hours but nobody came, I could see figures moving upstairs but none of them looked like Tracy, I felt bad that I couldn't even get out of the car and boldly ask of her from them.

I wonder how Tracy will be feeling, I wonder how she is, how long she has left Florida? because I could see she didn't read any of the letters I sent.

My thoughts were jumbled up, I was so exhausted that I didn't know when I fell asleep in the car.

I woke up startled as a car sped past me, I was so startled that my heart was beating fast and hard against my chest, I sighed and looked for any sign of anyone but nobody was in sight so I decided to drive to the cafe she used to work, hoping I would get any information at all.

When I got there, I ordered a latte and waited for the attendant to deliver it to the table, thankfully she looked friendly and I could talk to her.

"Your latte sir."

"Thank you, would you mind if I ask you a question?" I asked before she could leave

"No, I won't."

"I was wondering if you know anyone that goes by the name Tracy."

"Oh Tracy, she quitted a few days ago." She replied and I heaved a sigh of relief, thankfully she's here all I need to do is find her.

"Thank you."

"You are welcome." She said going back to work, I paid for the coffee adding huge tips for the attendant and I left there immediately.

I got into my car and called one of my close friends a private detective who is also involved in real estate, he was the one that helped me get accommodation when I came here years ago, I need his help again.

"Hello?"

"Alex, my man, how are you doing?"

"I'm fine, for now."

"What's the wrong man?" He asked worry detectable in his voice

"I need your help right now, I'd explain later, is the house you got for me when I came the last time still available?"

"No but I can arrange something for you, wait, man are you in Philadelphia?"

"Yes."

"I'd send you location to the place now, you need to explain everything to me."

"Okay"

I hung up and the location came in a few minutes later I drove as fast as I could and I got there twenty minutes later.

The house looked okay, The security guard opened the door and I drove in, James must have told them I was coming.

"Mr. Johnson?, Mr. Paige is waiting inside." Another guard said and I nodded

"Thank you." He led the way and I followed

"Brian my man!" James said hugging me as I entered
