"I have a letter from Madame Athalena sir."
My secretary places an envelope on my desk. I stare at the envelope with my name. Pain. Anger. Disgust. I am flooded with mixed emotions that are hard to keep contained.
"I shall take my leave then sir."

Hey guys! Sorry for the very very very late update. I just finished organizing 5 different Christmas parties, a Valentines Party, and my parent's Wedding (aka a pretty grand Renewal of Vows) during the past 3 months on top of my regular work and volunteer work. I haven't had a break but I owe you guys so I hope you enjoy and find it in your heart to forgive me. ;(

"Do you need anything else Sir?" My secretary, Richard, asks as he stands by the door.
I shake my head in reply then add "Go home and rest. Give my regards to your baby girl."
"Thank you sir ... If I may add Sir?" He replies.
"Yes?" I answer.
"My wife sends her thanks for the donuts last time. Lucy loved it too."
I smile before replying "No problem. Please give Lucy a hug for me."
He nods then continues "Please don't stay long as well, you need rest too." He says before closing the door.
I know others may find it odd but I like keeping a tough exterior in the office, especially considering my position as CEO. But only when I'm around the employees I trust do I soften.
I continue to review the report in front of me but I'm unable to concentrate. After 5 minutes of trying to refocus, I decide to take a break.
I turn, facing the night city skyline, then check the time on my watch. 6:55 PM.
My thoughts wander to the my kids. What are they doing now? Did they have dinner already? Do they have homework?
I wonder what Alena is doing?
I let out a sigh as Alena crosses my mind. We've been civil with each other considering the kids but we haven't discussed the looming issue we have between us. But despite this, I can't stop this great urge to see her ... to see the kids ... to be with my family.
I can't wait for Saturday to see them.
Donuts?
The thought suddenly enters my mind slowly morphing to a full-on plan. I could bring the kids some donuts. I smile, excited to be able to spend a little time with them.
Would Alena be mad?
Maybe.
Tsk ... Cafe Mocha?
Yes! Hopefully it will ease any annoyance I cause.
Making up my mind, I stand up and hurriedly tidy up my desk. An hour after, I'm a nervous wreck standing in front of Alena's front door.
