Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss 18+ novel Chapter 242

“Of course, it is. Come this way…” Ace said.

I felt the warmth of his comforting touch on my elbow as he helped support me. The walk felt so long but we finally reached the round table where I could take a seat.

“If you need to greet your guests, you can go ahead. Just leave me here, I’ll be fine…” I said with a smile.

“No need. I’m pretty much done with that. Plus, the main part of the event is about to start,” Ace said as he sat down next to me.

The seats at the round table were still empty and there was no one else there except for us. However, it didn’t take long for the other people to arrive at the table. Although I should have expected it, I was still surprised when Ace’s father appeared and took a seat at the same round table that we were. A few other people that seemed to be his father’s VVIP guests joined him at the table.

“This is Karina, my personal secretary,” Ace introduced me smoothly.

“It is a pleasure to meet you…” I replied as politely as I could.

Thankfully, the lights dimmed and all I could see were the people seated at our table. Suddenly, a few spotlights came on and my attention was drawn to the large stage in front of us where a beautiful woman walked elegantly onto the stage.

“Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to one of the most special parties hosted by Jessen’s and Hill’s. Of course, this is a party to celebrate our CEO, Ace’s birthday!” the announced cheerfully.

Loud cheers filled the venue all around us as all the excited guests clapped and cheered. It started to feel more like a birthday party as the overall atmosphere became exciting and celebrative. I found myself clapping along with the other guests. The host quickly announced the first show which would be a mini concert from one of the most famous bands. I had to say that even though I wasn’t that into music, I knew some of their songs.

Many guests made their way to the dance floor in front of the stage to get the party started and then the band began to play their hit songs. The music was loud and it was hard to have any kind of conversation with Ace even though he was sitting right next to my side. The mini-concert lasted for around half an hour and then the event moved on to the second segment of the performance which involved dance showcases.

“You seem to be enjoying the dance shows more than the band,” Ace said from my side.

“I guess. The band was great, but the music was too loud for my tastes,” I replied with a smile.

“I didn’t choose the band…” he muttered.
