Loving the CEO novel Chapter 49

Taking her hand, she looked at me before she smiled. Opening the door for her, she got in and I went in after her. Halfway to King's Trading, she was in deep thought and I knew it had to do with something that happened earlier. "Emily are you okay? What was that about?"

"Huh, o-oh yeah I am okay and it was nothing."

"Emily don't take me for an idiot, I saw that. Do you know the man that bumped you?"

"No, I don't, so just drop it," she spoke with attitude. Lifting my hands up in surrender I did as I was told. "I'm sorry Adam, I shouldn't have spoken so harshly it's just that I thought, I thought it was–––"

"You thought it was who Emily?"

Hearing her phone ring, she took it out and answered it. Sighing, I look out the window as the car zoomed by people and buildings.

"Hey mom," she sang cheerfully inside the phone. "Adam and I are on our way to meet with the CEO of a company to sign off on a deal." There was a pause before she groaned, then she touched me on the arm and handed me the phone.

"Hello Mrs. Martinez, how are you?" I breathed in the receiver.

"I am fine handsome, I am just out with Mark and the nurse is right behind us although she is a couple of feet away."

"Is she taking care of you?" I asked seriously.

"Yeah she is but there is a reason why I wanted to talk to you." I could hear the seriousness in her voice and I braced myself for what I was about to hear. Hearing her tell Mark to continue walking and she will catch up. There was a pause before she spoke and what she said shattered me into a million pieces. "I'm dying Adam, my cancer has now moved from stage four to stage five in a short period and I know before long it will worsen. I don't want you to tell Emily this because I want her to enjoy herself and be happy. After all, she deserves this much. I am asking you to do me a favor though," she spoke softly inside the receiver.
