The CEO and me Chapter seven
LeoThe next morning was the longest damn morning of the whole year. Lunch just wouldn't arrive.5"If none of the employees are promoted, then we'll have to hire", the human resources head said, rubbing her temple."Well if we hire, we'll have to do it quietly. The last thing we want is the press getting wind of what happened", another employee retorted as he tapped on the meeting table, staring at Suzannah.I sighed and decided to put a stop to this fool show that had been going on for a couple of hours now. Finding a replacement for the head of the financial department of an international corporation was not as difficult as these idiots made it be. They just loved making things complicated, so
The CEO and me Chapter eight
Irene.Wednesday is always more exhausting than other days.Maybe because it's the midpoint of the week. The weekend seemed so far, and the tiredness of the days that had passed washed all over me as I cleaned the stairs again. These days I felt like my back and my feet weren't my own. And it was about to get worse.It was almost two in the afternoon when I got a text message. It was from Jim, but not his own number. Why? Because he was contacting me from the police station.I almost dropped my phone. I was literally shaking as I made my way to the fifth floor where I could find Mrs. Doolittle.I located her quickly and told her to cover for me. I knew I would eventually answer f

You're really good," he said shaking his head, his brows raised as he flipped to another page that had a sketch of the buildings, it was the view that surrounded us.1He smiled looking around then at the sketch, comparing the original to the drawing, "this is really good".'Thanks', I signed. He looked at my hand then at me."Let me guess, that means thank you."I nodded. He gave me my notebook back then had a bite of his brownie half."How long have you been deaf?" he asked after washing down the brownie with some water. I blinked. He was the first person to actually ask me that question. People usually tiptoed around the subject. I was grateful that he didn't. I smiled at him.But as memories of the accident flashed before my eyes, my smile dimmed.2M

Irene.The day finished on a good note, so I slept better than usual. I was well rested as I went about my regular morning at work.When I got to my lunch spot on the rooftop, the blue eyed man was already there. His eyes flickered away when he saw me. He tried to put off the cigarette he held between his fingers.I looked at the cigarette that was now crushed against the hard surface of the roof. He scratched the back of his neck, the tips of his ears a bit pink. It was kind of cute. I would have smiled if it wasn't for my huge dislike for cigarettes.It wasn't my business whether he smoked or not. It really wasn't. But...I sighed as I sat facing him, 'You smoke?' I wrote.He looked at the words

This is a blessing. For once I will not run all around the place chasing them," she said. As if the twins heard her, they squirmed in my lap then slid down. Even before I could reach for their hands, they grabbed mine and pulled me behind them to a display counter that showcased all sorts of colorful dessert, pies and sandwiches.They put their tiny hands on the glass. Their large green eyes scanned the sweets.They wanted something. A feeling of frustration bubbled up in my chest. I wanted to talk to them, ask them if they wanted anything. Before I could wonder what to do, the twins both pointed to tiny chocolate cheesecakes with cream and strawberry on top.They looked back at me, their mouths moving in child talk that, to them, was perfectly understandable.A worker was already waiting for us. I pointed to the same cake the twins did and held up two fingers.

Exactly," mom said, "but Lydia wouldn't lie. If she said they liked her, then they did like her. I think her name was Irene."Irene.6"The greek goddess of peace. How convenient", I said, making my mom smile. We chatted for a while as lunch cooked. Then we served ourselves on the island.2My mom's cooking was to die for. She had never had someone else cook for us when she was around."So tell me, Leo." my mom said as she cut a slice of the roasted beef, "is there something interesting going on? you know, someone you want to introduce...", she trailed off."Mom", I groaned. I knew this discussion was coming sooner or later when she invited me to lunch."What?" she protested, "oh, come on. There's no one? no one at all?"

"Since when do you know sign language?" Lydia asked, looking between Irene and I and fighting back a smile."She taught me some signs." I replied, serving myself."She taught you?" Jayden asked, surprised, "when?""Lunch break", I replied."So that's where you rush to everyday." he shot back with a grin that matched my sister's.5I ignored them and cut into my teak.2"So what does she do?" mom asked looking between Grayson and Irene.Grayson signed then waited as Irene signed back, "she works as a cleaning staff". He said looking at my mom. Irene followed his gaze, watching mom's reaction.Mom smiled nodding in understanding, "must be a tiring job", she said to Irene who shrugged with a small smil
