Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: Boring Business Meetings

As I entered the lab, I saw Annabelle standing instead of Diego and she told me "Where's Raúl?" She replied jokingly "Oh, your boyfriend?" I got nervous and turned red. She laughed "Actually, you look cute together. He's in boring business meetings because he's the CEO of a multinational corporation. It's not all fun treating patients but also bureaucracy and politics to keep the ship afloat and people working. The company is profitable, but needs to be checked to be successful. So you be will working with me today." She got more hopeful in her tone as she spoke again "Lately ever since you came around he has been more fired up than as if he knows what he is fighting for." After a few hours later I finished my work with Annabelle, he arrived into the lab where we were working with an exhausted look on his face. As we asked and he removes his suit jacket and tie that made his feel like a penguin, but I thought he looked very handsome "Mind numbingly boring. Boring idiot fools! Remind me why I have to go to these meetings again?" Annabelle replied back "Because you are the CEO and so the company stays happily a float and no one loses their jobs." He replied "Right. I value the people that work here." I replied back "Does he do this after every meeting?" Annabelle awnersed back "Yeah this man baby pretty much acts like this but worse." He snaps back "Whaaattt?!" Annabelle acts like she is thirsty, but really just gives some alone time to spy on us like an anime shipper and romance gru. As she leaves, I started to massage his arms in a sensual way as Annebelle taught me few hours earlier as he falls into the chair to relax a little then told him a story "Long time ago, there was desert king, who was a powerful and kind to his subjects, and he was deeply in love with his wife and queen, but she cheated and caught her in act. As a result, he becomes heartbroken and there, believing that all women are equally unfaithful. So he orders his vizier to get him a wife every day, some daughter of his courtiers, and then he would order to kill her in the morning. The vizier unfortunately and unwillingly had to give up his own daughter Sherezade. Sherezade was not afraid actually she willfully gave herself because she was a start lady. She was actually a storyteller and historian. She hatches a plan and carries it out: she offers herself as the sultan's wife and on the first night and manages to surprise the king by telling him a story. The sultan is excited about the story, but she interrupts the story at the good part before dawn and promises the end for the following night. Thus, for a thousand nights. In the end, she gives birth to two children and after a thousand and one nights, the sultan commutes the sentence and they had lived happily ever after. Mostly scholars say three options happened or a mixture of the three. Personally, go with a mixture of all three. One: They fell in love. Two: He forgot the whole killing business. Three: They had two kids and couldn't kill their mother because she needs to raise them."
