Chapter 44 - Extra pressure

In CDN. (Megan POV)

When I looked at my phone, I received a text message that Joe was found. While seeing it, I take a deep breath, and then I started working. When I was doing it, someone called to me, and when I answered, I said "yes."

"Hello, I'm waiting in the restaurant. Our meeting should start ten minutes ago," I could hear. While at first, I haven't recognized my voice, I looked at my schedule, and while seeing that I have one, I said, "I'm sorry, I forgot about it, as my assistant was attacked."

"OK, I will wait there," and as words go out, I looked at the phone, and then I said, "like always fucking dickhead." When I said it, I walked out, and as I go to Sofia floor, I opened the doors, and I said: "We are going."

"Where," she asked.

"Eating with Murphy," I said, and when she looked at me, she takes her bag, and then we go to the car, and she drove to the restaurant.

When we come there, after some time, we go out of the car, and we started going to the room which he always takes. When we go directly in, and while seeing the son of the CEO, I said, "sorry for being late."

"No problem," he said, and when I looked at him, I had a bad feeling about what can happen next. When we sit, and I ordered nothing while Sofia take some small salad. After this, our meeting has started. When we were talking about a lot of stuff, they're mostly related to business, which he wanted to have with me, I looked at him, and while seeing that he have something in plans, I waited to see what will he have in mind.

At the same time, in a hospital. (Joe POV)

When I come back to my room, I looked around, and when I was doing it Marcus come inside, and while he looked at me, he said: "don't do it anymore."

"OK, I just wanted to have a small walk," I said.

"Not in your state," he said, and while I looked at him, I said, "don't worry," and as the pain slowly started rising, I sit and when I had done this, he walked closer to me, and he said, "something bad."

"Pain," I said, and while hearing me, he takes what I take from my arm, and when he connected all, he said, "you should be here without moving."

"I know," I said, and as I still sit, I started massaging my knee as it hurt the most now. When I was doing it, he looked at me and then, he asked, "it hurt the most?"

"Yes," I said, and as I still massaged it, he looked at me, and when he walked closer, he moved my pyjama up, and then, he looked at it. As this was happening, he said at one point, "after your face, it's the biggest swollen."

"What," I said, and when I looked at it, I could see that it's three times bigger than normal. While hearing me, Marcus looked at me, and then he said, "I need to see what is happening there."

"OK," I said, and when I looked at him, I tried to get up, but then he said, "sit."

"OK," I said, and as he walked out, he comes back with the nurse, and while having a wheelchair, I sit on it, and when I had done this, we drove out. When we come out and go to another room, I looked where we are, and as I get up and lay another doctor had come, and then he started testing my knee while I answered his questions. When I was doing it, we had done there, after some time, and as we had done this, I looked at Marcus, and as I sit one again, I drove out from there. When we come back to the room alone as Marcus was called somewhere, I could see older men being there, who I meet on a rooftop, and while I looked at him, he asked: "you know how to play chess?"

"A little," I said while I don't remember when last time I played one. When he hears me, he takes them. When this has happened, he went to the chair and table which I had in-room. While seeing it I get up, and as I slowly go there. After coming closer, I sit, and when he started taking them off, I looked at him, and not long after, we started playing.

In a restaurant. (Megan POV)

When I was at the meeting, we had done this after some time while hearing all propositions, and while knowing them, now I couldn't agree as it wasn't so profitable, and what is more important we need to invest over one hundred million there. While I looked at Sofia, she looked at me, and then I said, "I will be going now, and I will call with my answer."

"OK," he said, and when we go to the car, I looked at her, and then I said, "probably not."

"Lest give this to Alice, and she should finally use her program to test possibilities," Sofia said. While hearing her words, I nodded, and as we come back to the company, we go to her floor, and while being there, I could see that she is talking with someone. While seeing me, she said, "Marcus is saying that Joe is fine."

"OK," I said, and as she had done her talk, I looked at her, and then I said, "now time to start your program."

"Which one," she asked

"To test possibilities," I said, and when she looked at me, she started doing something on her computer, and while she was doing it, I left papers there, and I said, "don't let them leak."

"OK," she said, and when Sofia walked away a long time ago, I looked at Alice, who was working, and then I walked to my office as I don't want to make, extra pressure on her. When I come there, I started working with plans to go to Joe, once again, and see how it's going there.
