Chapitre 33: Decision (2)
William was now running, the people were looking at him with amazement, doubt and confusion but he did not care. He had a destination and a purpose, he ignored anyone trying to talk or approach him.
He did not care.
He reached the 27th floor in a hurry and asked the first person he saw. He grabbed the shoulder of the person closest to him and asked with a grave tone, "Where is Mia?"
The man was confused by the question and was shocked for a moment before he was able to answer, "She left like two hours ago Sir, or maybe more."
With a "tsk" William was not satisfied with his answer and went straight for the office of the department head. With a resounding sound, a "bang" was heard the door was flung wide open, to the shock of the people inside, they saw their CEO with a malevolent look. All they could do was look in silence while thinking what they could have done wrong for him to appear personally.
William looked at the people in the room and approached the department head, with a vice-like grip on his shoulder he asked, "Where is Mia?!"
The department head was twitching his shoulder from the pain but he still answered, "I do not know Sir, she left as soon as she got the documents signed."
"No one knows where she is?!" Williams' voice was as cold as the freezing winds from Antarctica. He looked around one by one trying to find a clue. While looking around there was a female who was trembling. He pointed at her and asked, "You! Do you know where Mia is?!" he was already glaring as he could not find Mia.
"I… I think I… saw her in the ladies comfort room." She said while stuttering with her words.
William did not give them a second look before leaving. The people in the floor department were under a commotion once he left through the door. They were now starting to believe the rumors that were spreading as they saw their CEO's reaction. From one person to another, this information spread. From one floor to another floor as it spread throughout the whole building.
The people did not care if the stories were true or false, they just wanted to know the juicy story of their CEO's love affair. This was the first time in the company that there was something he was involved with and he personally took action. The employees were now waiting for his next action. They were relaying the information through the social platform of the company. Nobody stopped them as they were all interested.
On the other hand, William did not even hesitate when he approached the ladies comfort room. He went inside without care for the women inside who left with screams from the sudden outbursts. The people left the cubicles as fast as they could when they heard the commotion. They went out of the comfort room when they saw their furious CEO standing there waiting for them to leave.
One by one the ladies left and there was pure silence in the comfort room. The door was now closed and he was standing in the middle of the room.
He stood still and just listened. The noise from the outside was now blocked by the closed door.
Finally, he heard something, there was the sound of a snuffle. It wasn't loud but due to the complete quietness of the room, William heard it. He walked quietly towards where he heard the noise.
There he stood in front of the only cubicle which was locked. William was a tall young man, so he easily reached for the lock inside the cubicle room for him to open it. He carefully opened it.

The lock was opened and he slowly opened the cubicle door. There he found Mia sobbing on the floor curled up like a ball.
William was heartbroken when he saw Mia crying.
He did not know what to do as he kneeled with one knee and approached her.
Mia did not look up. She was still sobbing holding both her knees.
William did not know what to do in this situation. No words would be enough to comfort her. He did not want to say some superficial words just to comfort her broken heart.
If he could not put it into words then he'd let his actions speak for itself.
While gently approaching Mia, He gently wrapped one hand at her back, the other hand he slipped under her knees.
Once he was sure he got her, he slowly and carefully lifted Mia.
Carrying her like a princess.
He made sure he had the right strength, he did not want to hurt her.
From one knee, he started to raise himself and Mia from the ground.
He made sure that Mia was comfortably leaning on his chest.
William did not talk while doing so.
Mia, on the other hand, was struggling away from his arms. It was already bad enough with all the rumors spreading out, she did not want to add more to it, she thought to herself.
William stood still when Mia started to struggle, he did not take a step but continued with their position not letting go of Mia.
It took a couple of minutes before Mia finally calmed down, she rested her head on Williams' chest, tired from all the crying. Her eyes were red and puffed out. She decided to just close her eyes and not struggle in William's arms. His warm sturdy chest was comfortable, she thought.
William who noticed that Mia stopped struggling started to take small steps while trying his best not to disturb Mia who looks asleep from crying her eyes out.
Once he stepped out of the comfort room all eyes are on him, prying their eyes to look at the person he was carrying with great care.
Some gasped, while others were awestruck. They all started to talk with each other however a voice filled with contempt was heard.
"Anyone who dares slander Mia can start packing their things and leave the company. Anything that I find, information, rumors or gossip spreading in this company will be dealt with," William said. He looked at the people as he said this.
Everyone finally realized that anyone of them will be fired immediately without any further discussion if they continue to spread rumors.
After his speech, the room was deathly quiet. All they could hear was their CEO's footsteps walking away.
