Be patient on the CEO! I think that he may have been told off a bit by the chairman, and he is unde ra lot of stress. Wait 'til things shake out. If he is interested, he'll be back. He is a strong, self confident guy. He hasn't backed off because of your reaction, I'm sure of it.

Your H, well, he's just brain dead. Might make a good science experiment!
