Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss 18+ novel Chapter 258

“No, but you should be because if he does turn up, you’re going to be the only one left here to greet him,” Ace replied before he grinned at me.

I bet he planned this. Something in the back of my mind just told me that he planned this. He was just going to abandon me here so that I would be the one to handle his father if and when he gets here.

“No…I am never doing that!” I exclaimed as I jumped off the bed and raced into the bathroom to get ready.

“It’s still very early in the morning. You don’t have to rush, and you’ll still make it to work on time…” Ace said lazily.

I turned to see him leaning against the doorframe of the bathroom and I just wanted to roll my eyes at him. It was his fault that I was panicking like this. Of course, I had no idea if the chairman would really turn up here, but I didn’t want to take the risk of running into him here when I was all alone. I bet my life that he must still be in a horrible mood right now because of Ace’s sudden announcement last night.

“This is all your fault…” I muttered darkly as my good mood quickly clouded over.

“We don’t have to leave at the same time so there’s no need for you to rush…” he said casually.

“I’m not trying to leave early to catch a ride with you. I just don’t want to run into your dad in case he decides to turn up here for a surprise visit,” I said while trying my best not to snap at him.

“Then you better hurry. I’ll be busy so let Jeremy know that I want you two to help out with the marketing side of things for Project Alpha too, ok?” he instructed.

I wanted to roll my eyes at him and how he seemed to be giving me so much trouble.

“The workday has not yet started, Mr. CEO…” I pointed out.

“You can keep on calling me that because soon you won’t have the chance to do so anymore,” he replied before turning on his heels and walking away.

“Oh…please…” I muttered as I rolled my eyes now that he wasn’t looking.

…

I made it!

I made it to work on time and the best part was that I made it out of Ace’s place before his father turned up. While I took the elevator up along with the other employees, I realized that Ace would have to talk to his father sooner or later about what he had in mind. Since I didn’t know what he had planned for growing the company, all I could do was silently pray that things would progress smoothly between the two of them.

“Good morning, Karina…” Jeremy greeted me the moment that I entered the office.

“Oh…perfect…” I murmured as my eyes landed on his face.

“What’s perfect?” he asked with a confused look on his face.

“I have something to tell you so it’s perfect that I didn’t have to go looking for you…” I replied with a small smile.
