Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss 18+ novel Chapter 239

Why did the party have to land on Ace’s birthday of all days?

“I like it. Thank you so much, Ace…” I thanked him while trying to sound very cheerful.

“Glad that you like it. I’ll pick you up tomorrow at your place,” he reminded me again.

“Sure. Good night…” I replied.

“Good night, Rina. Get loads of rest,” Ace said before hanging up.

…

Although it was his birthday, Ace was busy the whole day. He didn’t give me a call, but he did send me a text to tell me that he had some business to attend to but for me not to worry because he was going to turn up to pick me up on time. I spent the whole day restlessly waiting for time to pass by. I wondered if we would have time after the party to spend together. Usually, these business events in the evening didn’t last for too long and would usually end around midnight at the latest even if there was an afterparty. Ace can probably opt out of the after-party if he wanted so maybe we can still enjoy some private time afterward.

I wondered when would be the right time to give him his present. Hopefully, there would be an appropriate time before the stroke of midnight for me to do so. Regardless, I decided to slip the small present box into my handbag so that I would always be ready to give it to him once the opportunity arises.

My phone began ringing and I knew that it was the call that I have been waiting for. Ace was the one calling and judging by the time, he should be arriving soon.

“Hi…” I answered the call.

“Are you all dressed up and ready? I’ll be arriving in less than ten minutes,” he informed me casually.

“Yes, I’m ready…” I replied.

“Good. Just wait for me in your room,” he said.

“Ok…” I replied softly before the line disconnected.

Since Ace was arriving soon, I started to check my reflection one last time in the mirror. After feeling satisfied with what I saw, I began preparing my shoes while dreading the fact that I had to wear heels that were pretty high because of the length of the dress. Hopefully, there wouldn’t be a lot of standing and walking at the party because my toes and feet are going to kill me.

A little while later there was a soft tap on the other side of my door and I knew that Ace had arrived. He was very on time indeed.

“Ace…” I greeted him when I opened the door.

“You look amazing. I really picked the right dress,” he said while complimenting both himself and me at the same time.

“Thank you. You’re really good at this,” I said admittingly.

“Shall we?” he asked as he offered me his arm.
