The Health Project

Chapter 15

~If I know what love is, it is because of you~

I walked up to Alessandro as he stood there waiting for me to come from the other direction. I spun him around and wrapped my arms around him.

"I missed you." He whispered. I smiled and I knew he felt my smile.

"How'd the meeting go?" I asked pulling away. I swung our connected hands. This all seems so surreal.

"Not so great. There are three people who basically control the company. I need to control two-thirds of the company in order to keep the company from falling apart. Neither will sign over their one-third." He sighed loudly clearly tired from that failure of a meeting.

I felt useless standing there not knowing how to cheer him up.

Someone walked up to us and started blabbering.

"Where were you at?" He says slightly frustrated.

"Where were you," I corrected.

"Huh," he said dumbstruck.

"You added a preposition word to your sentence when it wasn't needed," I uttered.

Instead of getting angrier his questioning face shifted to a smile while a guttural laugh fell from his lips.

I smiled feeling accomplished.

"We need to find Lisa. Maybe she will reconsider." His smile faded as he spoke the lady's name.

"Just because you two aren't going so well doesn't mean you can take advantage of her weak state and try to get her to sell," Alessandro spoke through gritted teeth.

This guy must be a dick.

"Oh look, Michel. Here comes Lisa." Michel's scowl became a black face.

"Hey, Lisa I was hoping you could get Michel to reconsider." Alessandro blatantly spoke as if Michel wasn't there.

I looked at the women. She wore a black long-sleeve really deep v-neck, green sinched pants tie up pantaloons and sheer black studded heels.
