The CEO and Deputy

Chapter 29

TW: mention miscarriage, language

Everyone in the movie room were unaware of what just transpired, they looked when Charlotte walked into the room "hey is Violet back" Mia asked her girlfriend "nope, not that I care" Charlotte said and Autumn looked up at Charlotte "I'm going to go and see your mum and dad to see if they know anything" Autumn said and left the room with Marjorie following. Marjorie and Autumn walked in and saw Violets parents and brother and sister-in-law sitting at the dinner table "hey any word from Violet" Autumn asked with worry in her voice "no Autumn she left her phone here" Claire said to the pair and got up and pulled Autumn into a hug.

After she had left the house and drove off, Violet drove to her safe place which was her office. Violet entered the building and walked up to her office still in her pjs and entered the office, she looked around her office and walked over to the couches and sat on them. She knew her parents would say stuff that she had told them over the years to her sister and brother, she saw his car drive past her and knew he was at her home, she was going to message Autumn or her mum but realised she didn't have her phone with her. She was in shock at what her sister said, did she really put her company first before her family over the years, has she really screwed up everything she knows she had to miss some of her niece's school plays and stuff due to meeting or travelling but she tried to make up for it. She looked over and saw a picture on her side in her office and walked over and looked at the picture of her and her siblings when they were 24,21 and herself 19, she was dressed in a cap and gown recognised it was from she graduated with her PhD. She put the photo down and walked to her desk, thinking back to the time where she lived and breathed the company at the beginning before sighing at how it nearly killed her in the process; her parents coming to company for the first time, not recognising her due to her losing weight and the bags under her eyes and limp hair.

She walked around her desk and sat in her chair, she sat in her desk for while before getting  up and walking to where she kept a small bottle of scotch in her drinks cabinet, she hardly drank it but she needed it to calm her nerves, she was pissed that Charlotte thinks she knows everything about her and she doesn't nobody does; she had to keep her two lives separate, she choose to do that so nobody would use her siblings to get to her, she had to make sure that they stayed away from the press and live a normal life. Everything she did, she made sure her family were protected, she knew that being associated with her is a risk so she kept them at armlengths; she didn't want to go to France she tried to push it for new year but with what she was developing would change everything about the IVF world so she knew she had to go. She sat in her office drinking her scotch, she only had one before anger came over her and she threw the glass the wall, and broke down crying. She left her office and drove to a spot that was special to her and big brother, she drove to a secluded spot near a forest that is located near where her parents lived and drove to the opening and sat and looked out from her car.

Back in the house, everyone was trying to figure out where Violet could be, Paul sat and thought about where his sister could run off to, it wasn't until he remembered about a certain spot he and Violet used to go to. Paul stood up from the couch "I think I know where she is, I'll be back soon" he quickly said and gave his wife a kiss and ran out the house to his car, and quickly drove off hoping he wasn't wrong, it was nearby but if you didn't know it was there then you would easily miss it. Paul let out a breath when he saw his sister's car parked in the opening, he pulled in next to her and quickly got out of his car and ran to his sister and climbed in her car causing her to jump slightly. Violet was in her own world and didn't hear the car pulling in next to her and jumped when the passenger door to her car opened, she looked over and saw her big brother climbing in her car "what you doing here" Violet asked him when he was fully in the car "I should be asking you the same" Paul replied and watched as his little sister curled into a ball in her seat.
