Maxime.

My plane landed and I immediately checked my phone to see any messages from my baby.

I: I misss youuu
How's the plane?
Call me when you land
Would strawberries dipped in marshmallows be good?
Update: They were !!
Okay I love you, call when you land

I shook my head and smiled hard, proceeding to dial her number as I walked off the plane. I was met with a hysteric Léa who appeared to have been crying.

My brows furrowed, "Lèa? What're you doing here?"

"I missed you" she leapt into my arms

I pushed her off and narrowed my eyes, "I'm glad you're back, now let's go out and celebrate tonight. On me" she grinned

"We won't be going anywhere Léa, it's over remember?" I scoffed as I waved at Vic to start the car

I walked away and she treaded after me, "Max, what the hell is up with you?" She asked

"My girlfriend" I muttered

"You've got to be kidding. I'm the one you love, I am perfect, perfect for you can't you see?" She screamed

I turned to face her with a frown, "Stop this. You're causing a scene, Imogen is the one I love" I said in a stern tone

She started to scream like a maniac, "If I can't have you, no one can" she started hitting and scratching me

I grabbed her arms and looked over to my guards to come get her, "Léa you need help. I care for you, I do, but this has gone far enough" I said as the grabbed her

I dusted off my suit and continued to walk away before turning around, "By the way, you're fired. Effective immediately." I smiled

Vic opened the door for me and I entered the car. I sighed as I picked up my phone before Victor broke the silence. He filled me in telling me Léa convinced everyone that she and I were engaged and has been staying at my place since she got back. I shook my head before calling Camille to contact the lawyer for a restraining order, then get my house cleaners to sweep through my place.

I finally got the chance to call Imogen, and hear her sweet voice.

"Hiii" she answered the phone

I smiled and looked down "Hi my love"

We started to talk about the flight and how it felt to be back, she greeted Victor, then her face dropped and she cocked her head to the side.

"What's wrong?" I asked

She hesitated, "Nothing, what happened to your face baby?" She asked

I sighed, "You won't believe the day I had" I continued to explain

A week had passed and this long distance thing was working, it wasn't the same but it wasn't awful. I sat at my desk going through files, before I dialed Camille's office calling her in here. She's been by my side since I took on the company and had been pondering this for some time now.

"Yes sir?" She opened the door

"Come in, have a seat" i gestured to the chair

She sat down with a worried look on her face, "Oh God, am I getting fired?" She asked

I laughed, "No. you've been with me since the very beginning Cami and I trust you with this company more than anyone else. You know the ins and outs and everyone here loves you. Which is why I would like you to become my new CMO" I finished
