Chapter 24: Giddy

JAMES POV

I am so tired.

It should not be this way is it?

As a CEO I am allowed to slack off even just a little right?

Wrong.

If my employees are working hard I as their leader should work double.

B.E (Before Ella) I don't mind going on an unscheduled business trip but now It is not okay.

I don't even have the time to notify her where I am going because 1 minute I was informed there is a crisis in our branch in Germany then within 20 minutes we are preparing for take off.

Not even a week after our date I am neglecting Ella already.

I can't even call her because she doesn't have a phone. I will rectify that after I finish my obligations here.

I promised to myself that I will go home after 2 days but damn it it's been almost 3 days already.

I am so furious that my directors here in this branch are all incompetent. I fired their asses and promotes some their employees who are much more deserving.

Old people thought they can undermine me because I am way younger than them. WRONG.

I went back to my house here in Germany mentally exhausted. I fired at least 10 people. All are in executive level.

I am preparing for bed when my phone started ringing. I saw that it is Scott. Don't tell me there is an urgent matter in New York because I am going to Snap.

How wrong Am I.

Just one word coming from her is like a Panacea.

Who is exhausted? Me? Uh.uh. not me.
I am re-energize already.

She just say my name and I am smiling like a fool. How pathetic am I?

I got worried because she never calls me so I thought something happened to her. Maybe she tripped? Bump to a wall ? door? or even a papercut is an emergency when it comes to her. Pathetic I know.

I convert our call to face time to see her.

Its funny because I can only see the side of her face mostly her ears but she is still fucking gorgeous. She is not focusing the camera properly that is given because according to her she is technologically illiterate.

And then she said those 3 words. I am just trying my luck if she really misses me but she said it.

I miss you.

I miss you.

I miss you.

Those three words made me feel Giddy. It's a foreign feeling.

Unfamiliar

But I love it.

She drops the call after a few minutes but I am still giddy. Like a child experiencing sugar rush.

She misses me.

Fuck this work I am going home tomorrow.

I don't care if this branch collapses. I still have 50 more headquarters in other countries.

What a bad thought.

I prepare for bed and plan my agenda tomorrow. I message my pilot to prepare the Jet at 10am.

I need to finish this mess already because there is someone waiting for me back home.

THE NEXT DAY
