Loving the CEO novel Chapter 45

Adam

When I saw her rushed out I knew something was terribly wrong. Excusing myself, I rushed after her. She was a good distance ahead of me and I wanted to catch her up but when I saw that she had run into the ladies' room and closed the door behind her, I knew that she didn't want me inside with her. Calling her name, I waited for her to answer. I raised my fist to bang on the door when I heard a thud in the bathroom.

"Emily," I shouted, but there was still no answer. Holding on to the door handle, I prayed that the door was open and no one else was in the bathroom and nothing bad had happened to her. Turning the handle, I was relieved that the door was in fact opened because I knew she was famous for locking doors. Poking my head inside, I saw that she was on the floor and that the bathroom was empty.

Stepping inside, I knelt down over and gently shook her. There was no response and I immediately started to worry. Going over to the sink, I turned on the tap and took out my handkerchief from my pocket. Wetting it, I went over to her and dabbed her forehead.

Stirring a bit, she opened her eyes and sat up. "Emily, what happened to you? Why did you faint?"

"I am having premenstrual syndromes."

"So that's what made you faint? That's why you ran out Because you are having premenstrual syndromes?" I asked in an unsure tone.

Nodding her head, I got up and took her hand, and lifted her. Holding her in my arms for a few seconds I let her go. I knew she was lying but I wasn't going to pressure her to give me an answer. When she was ready I know she would be telling me what happened. For now, I would be giving her the benefit of the doubt. All I know for sure that whatever she received on her phone had made her very frightened and afraid so much that she had fainted.

"Do you take something for premenstrual syndromes or should I take you to the doctor?"

"Uh, I am fine now. No need to bring me to the doctor."

"Can you make it back to the meeting or should I bring you back to the hotel?"
