Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss 18+ novel Chapter 238

It was quite late when I made it back to my apartment. Although all we had to do was find something that would match with the pendant that Ace gave me, it took us a long time to find something that would work. I didn’t think that there would be so many options for a pendant in the shape of a sun, but there was. The bigger problem was to choose a design that would fit Ace’s character. The worse outcome that I wanted to avoid at all costs was the one where he wouldn’t wear the gift that I got for him.

In the end, the saleswoman helped me settle on something. Although it was pricey, I willingly paid for it and asked it to be gift wrapped. I had to say that the staff did an over-the-top job of gift wrapping the pendant in its small box and the package looked so flashy that it made it look like a Christmas present for a kid instead.

Now that I was back in my apartment, I took out the small, gift-wrapped box and stared at it. My heart fluttered in my chest when I thought of Ace’s reaction when he would receive this.

Would he be happy about it? Would he smile and maybe laugh?

I had no doubt that Ace must have gone through a similar experience when he picked out that pendant for me. It must have been difficult for him too; however, it was a challenge that I was so willing to go through. I hoped that he felt the same way when he picked my present for me.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door. I knew that it wasn’t Ace and that made me slightly worried. He agreed to pick me up tomorrow at my place so that we could go to the party together. Ace mentioned that he had some preparations to do for the party and that he couldn’t’ stay over with me.

“Yes? Who is it?” I called out to whoever was at my door.

“I’m here to deliver your dress for the event tomorrow,” a woman’s voice replied.

Oh, right. The dress.

“Thank you…” I thanked her when I opened the door.

“Please be careful. It is quite heavy. Please put your arm under this part here to support it…” she advised as she carefully handed the dress over to me.

The silver-grey bag that contained the dress did feel very heavy in my arms as I took it from her. The woman smiled at me before she turned to leave. Somehow, I managed to close the door while not losing my balance while holding the dress in my arms. I recalled the brief conversation that I had with Ace before about this dress.

“Someone will send you a dress for tomorrow’s party. I got it tailored especially for you. I’m sure that you’ll look great in it,” Ace said with confidence.

“You didn’t have to do that…” I murmured.

“Don’t overthink things and just wear it, ok?” he replied before staring right into my eyes.

“Ok…” I agreed hesitantly.
