That brought me back to the problem that had been haunting me ever since I realized that his birthday was coming up. What present should I get for Ace?
The party didn’t seem to need any advance preparation and the commercial was progressing well. It was hard to believe but it seemed like I had some free time on my hands. Before I could stop myself, I had already started searching online for ideas on what would make a good birthday present for Ace. I never knew that figuring out the perfect birthday present for someone would be so difficult. Then again, I have never had to figure out what a well-accomplished CEO who seemed to have everything already would want for his birthday present.
This is so hard…
After flipping through various results from my online search, I realized that I wasn’t sure what I was looking for. Once again, I realized that I didn’t quite know what Ace really liked.
What would Ace want for his birthday?
I kept asking myself this question as I continued gathering ideas from my online search results. Thwere was still around five days until Ace’s birthday, so it wasn’t like I didn’t have any time to figure something out.
…
**A few days later**
I woke up feeling very refreshed without knowing that that day would be the day that a small miracle would happen. Ever since Ace’s meeting with Elizabeth a few days ago, I had no heard anything from Kyle at all. I took that as a good sign. Whenever Kyle contacted me, he never had any good news, so I figured that it was better that I didn’t hear from him. I wondered if Kyle ever ended up asking Elizabeth about that truth of that day.
A loud sigh escaped from me when I was forced to face the fact that I had not been able to bring myself to talk to Ace directly about his meeting with Elizabeth on that day. Although many opportunities presented themselves when Ace and I were alone, I couldn’t bring myself to ask him about it directly and that made me feel like such a failure. I never knew that having these hard conversations with Ace would be so difficult.
Ace seemed to be in a good mood lately ever since we met up with Elizabeth. Although it made me curious if the shift in his overall mood had something to do with their meeting, I had to admit that it was a pleasant change. I prayed that his generous mood would last up until the end of the meeting that our team would have with him today.
The director and his team did an amazing job in working on the edits that we had compiled from the last test screening of the commercial. Now that the team felt like the commercial was ready for its final review, we were set to present the commercial to Ace today.
“How confident are you?” Ace asked a little playfully as he seated himself down in the seat at the center of the room.
The room was immediately silent, and no one even tried to reply to his question. Ace looked around the room at the various blank or uncomfortable faces. Facing Ace in his devil CEO mode even though he was supposed to be in a good mood was barbarically challenging.
