Dirty Affairs novel Chapter 44

Ace was able to get Sophia different styles of dresses before he drove her back to the office.

He was seated in the couch inside his office when he took out his phone and called Cynthia.

On the phone…

"What's happening?" He asked.

"Nothing much boss. I already told them about the party and I also created awarenesses so they can know what they needed to know. Right now, I'm taking care of other things." She replied.

"Ok then. Gather ten girls at that assembling hall. I wish to speak to them and organize them by myself." He said and ended the call.

While he was on call with Cynthia, Sophia stood beside him and the moment she thought standing beside him and doing nothing was useless, she thought of walking away.

"Where do you think you are going?" He asked and Sophia sighed.

"You are my girlfriend now and you don't have the right to leave me lonely to stay all by myself. Not even for one sec." He said, gazing at her.

Sophia heard his words and got pissed off.

'this is manipulation.' she said to herself.

He stood up from the couch and took a few steps towards Sophia and stood in front of her.

"You are no match for me. Besides, I'm paying you for whatever service you are rendering to me and I'm begging you… please, please, don't make this too obvious so my friend won't suspect I'm hiding something from him. He believes I will be getting married to you soon!" He said as he grabbed her face and spoke directly to her face.

"Don't ruin my plan." Said Ace as he slightly pushed her. She staggered a bit but was quick to regain her balance by holding the door handle which stopped her from falling to the floor.

Sophia felt like attacking him. It was either he kills her or she kills him. She had endured him enough but she realized she was helpless. Even if she tries doing something stupid to him, there was no time she would compare her strength to his.

Sophia gave Ace a wicked gaze and while she gazed, shortly Ace heard a knock on the door. Upon hearing the knock, he didn't say a word. Sophia wondered who it may be as she immediately took a few steps away from the door.

Shortly, Ace and Sophia's focus was on the entrance door when the door was pushed open.

Someone walked in. It was Cynthia.

"Sorry to disturb you sir. I and the girls have been waiting for you for long at the assembly hall. I thought you forgot so I thought of coming to remind you of that…" Cynthia couldn't finish her statement. A thick and arrogant voice interrupted her.

"Remind me as my what? Did I tell you I have lost my memories? What gave you the guts to see me as a victim with amnesia" Ace asked.

Sophia got too uncomfortable with the way he was speaking to her friend. Who the hell is he to speak to her in such a way? She thought.

The anger burning in Sophia's eyes made her speak angrily and so rude to Ace.

Ace, remembering all of that, gritted his teeth and groaned so loud as he walked to and fro. He angrily hit his folded arms on the wall and shouted.

"Aaaaaaah!" He groaned again and swiftly scratched his skull in frustration.

The thought of him realizing she now sees him as a beast really broke him. He got confused on whether he should get angry at himself or at the stupid word called "love." If only love was not involved, he wouldn't be going through this emotional trauma. Her words wouldn't have had an impact on him.

Now that it was happening, there was nothing he could do.

Shortly, a call brought him back to reality.

On the phone…

"Hello boss, good day. I'm calling to inform you that the event center is ready. I'm at the assembly hall, waiting sir." Said one of Ace's guards.

That was when Ace remembered there were people waiting for him outside.

He blinked and cleared his throat.

"Okay… I'll be there soon." He replied and ended the call.

After the call, Ace walked into the restroom that was located inside his office and when he got in, by the help of the toilet mirror, he was able to keep his face in place. He took some powder and rubbed on his face before he brushed his hair and finally walked out of the restroom, heading towards the assembly hall to meet with everyone.
