THE PROUD CEO

Chapter five

“John woke up my god.I was so alarmed that something serious happened to him that my heart was beating so fast I nearly passed out,confusion in my face and tears dripping down my eyes.

With urgency I took him to the hospital at midnight.oh my god,my brother my brother I thought.he is the only family I had. I was already visualizing myself being alone without my caring and sweet brother.

I was passing through the stages of grieve with thoughts of what possibly happened to him like did he get attacked at him?,

“ Was he poisoned by someone?

“ Did he pass out due to stress?

What could it be?When did this happen?How did it happen? My mind was bombarded by numerous thoughts that I could understand.

I was outside the hospital waiting for the doctor's report on what had happened to him.

Finally the doctor came out in a calm happen it looked like he was about to break the worst news on him with a sign in his breath about to give me the report.

I looked at him with redness and pain in my eyes.doctor what is going on with my brother.Madam calm down,it's just drug overdose,he took too much of what was prescribed to him.

He would be fine. All he needs is some rest.I was a little surprised that he was sick and never told me,he must be overworking himself with more tasks since he is injured and could barely walk for the time being.

I just hope he gets better with him.later the next morning I woke up with tiredness in my body and weaken in my body to check on John

I saw him awake and was happy about it.

With a big relief in me and finally a calmness in my body.

He said to me “Jennifer what happened,with tiredness in his voice.

You took drug overdose,how come you

Didn't tell me you were sick John.

You almost gave me an heart attack,am sorry Jenni you were working so hard and when you finally decided to go out with your friend I didn't want to disturb you.

Come on John,no matter how busy I am, I will always have time for my little bro with a smile on my face and John's face.we were happy we had an understanding.and thank God we had no work tomorrow because it's Saturday.

Because Mr Alexander doesn't care too much about our personal problems,unless he has changed now because we talked, and he shared his vulnerabilities to me.

It is Monday, me and John made our way to the company early as usual to my greatest surprise Tasha and Sasha started been a lot nicer to him.

We began to have an understanding and share our great ideas with each other on how to improve the company.

Mary approached me with a very calm and sorrowful tone.jenni I have been calling you and you refused to pick my calls”.

How would I pick your calls when you left without me at the party”.

I said in a very angry tone,I was boiling inside and felt betrayed by my friend,it was like I could never trust anyone again.jennifer listen to me before you continue raising your voice at me”.

Understand that I am deeply sorry for what I have done.i was drunk that night and my cousin had to carry me home forgetting that we came together.

“I knew Mary was telling me the truth. but I couldn't just take her back like that,I wanted to at least give her the silent treatment so that it wouldn't repeat itself again.ok Mary just give me some time.

I have a lot on my mind.ok jenni.then she left,we had another meeting today.but I was so excited ready to give out my great ideas in the company.

Everybody was gathering at the meeting before I could say anything Tasha and Sasha began giving out my ideas at the meeting as theirs,they said everything I was going to say.

I was so angry I felt like squeezing their necks till their eyes pop out.and the worst part of it all,after they were done,they looked at me with a smile and giggles.

I told my brother about it. he said what every other brother could say and that was I told you so.jennifer I told,I told you,I told you but you never listen.not everyone could be trusted.

I couldn't say much because I knew he was telling the truth.before I knew it I was called by Mr Alexander into his office.

I went into his office wondering what he could want with him sitting in his black office chair and tying on his laptop.with his grey suit that handsome face and lips.

“Sir am here, Jennifer, sit down.i thought, am I in trouble what could he possibly want.i told him," Sir, I'm sorry I didn't contribute ideas to you at the meeting today.

“Listen Jennifer is not about that,I thought to myself what he really wanted?,with a slight fear and my heart beating slowly faster than usual.he said to me I have been thinking about you ever since we had that conversation.

With my eyes wide out in shock and me thinking is he about to say what I am thinking?,is my boss beginning to have a crush on me?.
