46- Crippled

Rafael who was talking to his executives about a report, stopped talking and looked up with a frown.

"What is it?" he rose to his feet and rounded the desk to get to her, ignoring completely the other three men sitting in his office.

"Is Delinda alright?" he asked her in concern.

In her haste, she didn't realize that she had placed her hand on his arm, "You need to come outside. Please." 

He examined her hand for a moment where it was touching his arm, "Sure."

He followed her outside and Kate stood up from her seat with shock evident on her face. She wasn't expecting Marissa to drag the president out of his office.

Everyone seated had gotten up in respect and a small crowd had gathered in the hall.

"I request you to announce that Ms. Kate is the event head from now onwards," Rafael looked closely at the tired woman who seemed too upset to accept any sane reasoning.
