Loving the CEO novel Chapter 54

Adam

"Hey, James any breakthrough as to who might want to hurt Emily?"

"No none as yet, still working on it though, she had lived a simple life with no problems otherwise from the bullying, so I'm still unsure what motives this person could have and why exactly are they stalking her." It was one in the afternoon and both James and I were on the balcony, drinking beers as we mulled over who and why this crazy person wanted to hurt Emily. Based on what James was telling me, there still was no lead. Sighing I felt so frustrated and damn useless. "It's going to be okay Adam, we will find out who has been doing this to her soon and very soon."

"But it has been a month James."

"I know Adam, just please be patient."

Taking a sip of my beer, we changed the topic to something less serious and began talking about sports, and before you knew it was evening which meant that I had to go get ready for dinner. My dad had come back two days ago and as soon as he stepped foot inside the house, he was asking Sophia to prepare for the dinner party that we would be hosting today. After chatting with James some more, I bid him goodbye before he exited my room. Going into my walking closet, I rummaged through my clothing until I settled on the perfect suit for tonight. Exiting, I got ready for tonight.

Emerging from my room an hour later, I went downstairs and into the kitchen to see my dad already seated at the table. Sitting beside him, we struck up a conversation about the business and how it was going. "Profits are raining in dad, the deal that I had made in Paris was one of the best things that happened for the company." Smiling, he leaned back in his chair as he took a sip of his whiskey.

"So, Sophia do you have any stories to share about Adam? Emily asked as she placed a piece of cake in her mouth. Looking at me she flashed me a mischievous smile while I in returned rolled my eyes at her. Smiling she sticks out her tongue as she looked at Sophia, anticipating what she would say.

"There is this one time when I was cleaning the halls and I left him sitting a few feet away playing with his toys and I turned my back for a few seconds and when I turned around he was nowhere to be found. I searched in every room for him and I couldn't find him. I was in the kitchen about to make a phone call when I heard rustling in the cupboards and just when I was about to open them when the doors were opened so suddenly and he came jumping out with a box over his head. The poor boy tumbled on his belly before getting up and running around the house with his diaper half on. I laughed until I cried and so did his mom when I relieved the moment to her.

Emily was cracking up and I could feel the heat creeping up my cheeks. They were all laughing at my expense and I was so embarrassed. Luckily for me, Amelia came in and told me that I had a call. Without even thinking, I quickly got up and make my way to my office.
