Chapter Two
Arriving after a Ten hours flight Alex went straight to the office. Susan was surprised to see him cuz her mouth fled open. he hadn't called to inform her he was returning the last time he had spoken to her yesterday morning nothing of such was talked about.
"No need to be so surprised Susan." something urgent came up I am guessing by your surprise that Sean had not told you."
"Welcome, sir. yeah, you are right I am not informed. what is going on why are you back earlier than scheduled?." She asked collecting the bag he held from him.
"I will brief you on the way I need to speak with the old man," he replied. moving to his office while she trailed behind him.
"Young man calm down you just got down from a plane you are not going anywhere until you rest properly," she said. moving to make him a cup of coffee. he accepted it and thanked her.
"Susan you are my assistant not my mum," he said dropping the mug of coffee down and picking up the files that he had told Sean to leave on his table
"Young man I might not be your mom but I am old enough to be one and I am telling you that until you take a bath and rest properly which includes sleeping for at least six hours you are not going anywhere," she replied stubbornly.
"Susan, it's Steven"
he said dejectedly.
"Steven again? what has he done this time? she asked looking at him wearily.
"I dont know what he went to tell the old man but he is not signing the papers anymore. said he has one more condition. I dont know what it is yet but don't think it gonna be nice."
"So because Steven talked with Norway and he changed his mind you wanna go see him looking like this?" she questioned.
"Looking like what?" he asked
"Looking like an uncultured man, with no class when last did you sleep young man?" she questioned
"On the plane," he replied.
"You need to sleep you are almost falling off your feet. the fact that Norway called you alone should give you a hint that whatever change he wants to make he still wants his company to end in your hands if not he wouldn't have bothered cuz you guys haven't signed any deal yet.
He wanted to argue but thinking about it he discovered it could be true cuz the old and he had not signed any deal. meaning if he wanted his company taking by Steven he would have not called Sean at all.
"Thank you, Sus you are a genius,"
He said hugging and pecking her cheeks.
"See it's not so hard,"
she replied smiling.
"Now let me call your driver so that he can take you home, freshen up and eat something. I will order take-out now since you can't cook in this state. make sure to eat it. she warned.
"Then tomorrow you can go see Norway."
"Yes, ma," he replied.
Alex loved Susan. she is the only woman he knows who got his back always she has been with him from the beginning she had believed in his ability. he respected her a lot even though he was the boss.
"Okay, the driver will be here soon."
" I don't wanna go home I will just use the penthouse above he replied.
"Yeah, that's true, I mostly forget you have an apartment in this building. anyway, I ordered the food it will be here in a bit now go upstairs and freshen up. I will bring the food in when it gets here."
she said pushing him towards the exit of the office.
Alex lived on the top floor of the company most times. he had other houses but he preferred to use the penthouse cuz it was close to work. he had gotten the idea to make the top of his company temporary home when he has worked late at night and had been too tired to go home. moving up the stair to his apartment, he tried to do what Sus had advised him to do. he showed and when the food Sus ordered came he ate as much as he could. and went to his bedroom to try and get some sleep.
When he woke up it was already dark but he felt relaxed. he took the elevator back to the office area. the office was empty. he went straight to his office. and did some work. aside from the Norway deal that is still pending, he had recorded a good percentage increase in the past few months. his revenues were up, the Dubai trip was a success, and soon if everything goes as planned he will have a branch in Dubai. so thinking about it now after getting enough sleep. he saw that he was just been anxious for nothing. If the Norway deal doesn't fall through then it doesn't.
a
After about three or four hours, he closed the file he was going through and went back up to his apartment, and tried to get some more sleep.
