Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss 18+ novel Chapter 248

The more he tried to evade my questions, the more I got curious about what he was hiding from me. Elizabeth is the CEO of Chase Creatives, and they are one of our biggest rivals in the industry. I had no idea what kind of work Ace could have to do with someone like her.

“What kind of work would you have to do that would require you to collaborate with one of our biggest competitors?” I asked in pure wonder.

“There are things that I can’t tell you, Rina. I can’t tell you this even if you’re my girlfriend and I also can’t tell you as my secretary. Let’s just leave it here for today, ok?” Ace said as a troubled frown formed between his brows.

“You never tell me anything…” I muttered like a sulking child.

“There’s a right time for everything, Rina. I’ll tell you when the timing is right. If there’s nothing else, let’s take a shower and head to bed,” Ace said as he brought our conversation to a close.

I would usually let things slide; however, I felt like I was far from done with this conversation. No matter how much Ace wanted to end this conversation and get away from me, I didn’t want to let him go just yet. He might be right about the business part of things. Somethings may be confidential, and he might not be able to tell me right now, but I was sure that the same did not apply to his secret relationship with Elizabeth.

Was there something going on between them after all?

“Ace…that day when we came back from our weekend trip…” I began asking him what was on my mind.

“What about it?” Ace asked casually as if he couldn’t wait for me to get to my point.

He probably thought that I didn’t know anything and that there was nothing significant about that day. Soon he would find out that he was absolutely wrong about that. Deep feelings of anguish and misery welled up in my chest when I thought about Ace ending our trip so suddenly to meet up with Elizabeth.

“You got a call and after that we had to rush back to the office. Who was that call from?” I asked.

“Why are you bringing this up now, Rina?” he asked with raised eyebrows.

“Was it Elizabeth who called you on that day?” I asked without holding back.

Now that the cat was completely out of the bag, I knew very well that I couldn’t hold back anymore. After what I had just said, it was plain obvious now that I was suspicious of their relationship and I thought that I had every right to be. If I was wrong about them, then the least that Ace could do was deny it and convince me otherwise just like he did with when his ex-secretary turned up heavily pregnant at his office. This time, as I had promised myself, I would listen to him and let him explain himself.

If only Ace would explain everything to me…
