Semua Bab My Tyrant CEO: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Léon's POVMichael ate the food Marthe had prepared for him, munching on it with a fond expression, already eyeing what he'll eat next. I was glad he was eating somewhat properly again, yet ... I shifted in my seat. There were still so many open questions. "So you will leave for New York now? To chase after her?"My brother angled the sandwich before he bit into it. "No. I don't care about that now."My ears must have betrayed me. "W-What!? But you just said-!""I'll contact Jessica, Nina and Clarissa first. Sara will push me away no matter what I do, so it's futile if I drop everything and go back. But she won't push them away. I'll have Jess tell her everything she needs to know until she is active again, then I will seek her out. I will stay today and tomorrow in Gordes, then I will leave for Paris with uncle to take part in the meeting we had arranged." Michael sounded as if he was so sure of himself, as if he knew that's how everything would go down – but one thing bothered me."

Sara's POVFriday finally approached - I was so bored. I was so beyond bored with this always repeating work and those simple tasks. Print the papers. Design the layout of the papers. Reread the papers. Correct the papers. Spend lunch with my old boss. Go back to reading the papers. Answer a few emails. Send out a few emails. Go fetch the latest issue of any newspaper. Most of these tasks were just a copy and paste type of task and just took mere minutes. I always went home two hours earlier.And that was another problem; the fact I got home so early. I had nobody to hang out with, so what did I do? Clean the flat until my hands burned. Go jogging for hours and hours. Read all the books I had.Not only was I bored, I felt as if everything around me was just so ... bothersome. Why bother dressing nicely? Why bother going out? Why do anything at all? Nobody saw me, nor did anybody judge me.What sense did it make? I had lost it all, what more could I lose?I fastened my jogging shoes wi

Talking about them: "Are you in New York again?" "Just got home", Marie told me. She was always quick to pick up the phone. "How are you, my little boy?", she asked carefully. "Good. We've talked for hours. We had cried too", I silently told her. "I made peace with my mind. Jacques is not to blame. Neither am I, as hard as it is to believe." "I'm proud of you, Michael. I'm so proud of you." "Thank you, mum", I laid down with a tired sigh. "I can't believe I managed to pull this off." "But it's good that you did. You can make peace with your inner turmoil." "I know", I closed my eyes. "I'll be home soon. I booked an earlier flight since the meeting is over. I'll be home tomorrow evening the latest." "We miss you already. Sleep tight for now. See you soon." "See you soon. Love you too."Jessica finally responded.Jessica Brown onlineJessica, can we talk?12:30PM√√What about?2:05AMSara2:05AM√√I need to know how she is doing.2:05AM√√Have you heard from her?2:05√√Ask your

"My brother came by with his children. That helped. I talked to my family and they urged me to go after you. I visited Sébastien's grave twice and talked my heart out. Once my uncle came back, I decided to go to Paris with him. I forgave my real uncle who had raised Sébastien and contacted Jessica every day to keep me updated on you."While I had laid back and forced myself away from everybody."Tell me everything", I begged him. "Alright – I lost it as soon as you left the company", he told me with a deep sigh "I went maniac. Fired people left and right, didn't leave the office for a whole week, didn't bother eating. Marie and Gerard had tried to make me come home, but I had sent them away. My brother Léon had told me to stop this mess and with my parents I went to Gordes. I stayed there for a week, then went back to New York and worked for another 2 weeks without you."Michael cupped my face. "What about you?" "I ran until my legs gave in", I told him. "That's where I found Mr Bir

"I understand", Mr Birmingham instantly interrupted me.It was Monday 12th and I went to Mr Birmingham at my usual time. He had already expected me and called me to his office.He smiled brightly at me. "Mr Beaumont himself visited me this morning and brought a new worker along to replace you in exchange. I understand you want to go back, this isn't yours Sara." "And you are really alright with it, Mr Birmingham?" "Yes", he patted my head. "Just remember me when you read any papers, ok?"Jess and the others dragged me into the building the moment they spotted me and the three of them all spoke at the same time once I sat down on my chair.On my desk, which had stayed the same as if I hadn't left a month ago, was a cake and several bouquets of flowers. It was a welcome back gift from the girls and Michael. The bouquet of red roses, at least 20 roses, were from him, as the card told me.Their hugs were bone crushing, but I laughed happily. I had my friends back and I would see them ev
