CEO Of My Heart Chapter 94

Her dead tight grip around his waist loosened and she began to rub her eyes in confusion as she started to wake up . "Oh .  How did I get here?" Ellie wondered in amazement . She looked decidedly uncomfortable as she looked down to see the proximity of his body to hers .  "Oh . . . my . What an interesting position we are found to be in . I think this was probably the doing of the drugs . "

"The doing of the drugs? So it is . "

Breaking the tension, Ellie's body shook delicately with laughter, "What a shame that I had no idea what I was doing while I was doing it .  What happened? Give me a quick summary . "

She really was such a wonder to behold, clear and conscious when other women who have become violent or screamed .  Cuc.u.mber cool, she didn't seem to mind that his hands were wrapped around her . This trait of hers he always envied--the grace of a true lady .  Henry wished his heart hadn't jumped into his throat so he swallowed before becoming serious . "I was horrified to see you around here as this is quite far away from your room .  I know I gave people a night off, but we do have people to fill in for them . I'm sure the replacements should be fired for their inept.i.tude in making sure of your violent end didn't happen in this dark corner of the house .  This is a rather horrible place to be found not alive, there are too many things haunting this corner of the house . "

Her delicate eyebrows knitted together as she considered his words .  "I can't see a clock, but it feels quite dark . You did give everyone a night off which they deserve .  I'm sure it's not a good hour to be up . "

Henry looked at her and began to relax .  Seeing her return to rational thought could mean that the withdrawn effect of the drug was slowly abating .  He felt like he had watched her climb a mountain to its peak . It brought with it a sense of renewed calm . "That's good that you've noticed, my friend .  I am very very happy that you can finally head back to bed . "

Henry looked around nervously as he wondered how he would do that .  He knew that he could shout to the point that people gathered for him to bark out orders .  But, he was loathed to do so . Ellie's weight was slight and light enough for him to fully carry her back to her bed .  He could feel Ellie start to fall back asleep and didn't want to risk her waking when he walked her . Henry knew his room was much closer and she really did look exhausted already . "Hey, Ellie .  I know you should just have a little energy left, but can you hold on to me if I carry you into the next room . I need my hands to unlock my door . "

Ellie looked unsure as she piggy backed onto him while he fished for a keycard in his wallet .  Henry sagged under her weight, but he seemed to be able to withstand it without much complaint .  "I think I can or I'll try for as long as I can . If I'm slipping I'll try to warn you before we both fall down . "

He groaned as the lock switched to green and he knocked the handle open with his foot before rus.h.i.+ng inside .  He closed the door with his knee before letting her down . Ellie looked around the masculine dark surroundings with interest, finding the Spartan furnis.h.i.+ng a good reflection of the occupant .  A light had turned on automatically with a soft j.a.panese refrain as Ellie starred from what she realized was his closet into the enormous bed . Henry threw off his slippers before carrying her in his arms across the room .  Henry threw back the cover and tucked her into the bed gently like she was a small child . Ellie waved him off when he pushed her hair back on her forehead . She wanted to move, but the pain in her back burst in a full radiating power over her back .  Henry moved her limbs for her so her head rested on the pillows .
