Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss 18+ novel Chapter 262

“Same goes for you. Will you be in the office tomorrow?” I asked hopefully.

“I will be,” he replied immediately.

“Great. I’ll make sure that we run into each other,” I declared enthusiastically.

Ace just laughed at me. The sound of his laughter brought some joy and warmth to my heart. Although Ace was the one who told me to not overwork myself and to get some sleep, I doubt that he was getting enough sleep. Ace had been out of the office and I had to cancel a couple of management meetings that he had scheduled at our company for him. I wanted to ask where he went off to, but I knew that I wouldn’t get any answers anyways even if I did ask.

While I was lost in my thoughts and my worries for him, I realized that Ace was unusually silent. I wanted to see him more than anything at that moment. The night would feel so long because I had to wait to see him tomorrow.

“Is something wrong?” I asked in a small voice.

“No, I just wanted to hear your voice…” he replied without missing a heartbeat.

What am I supposed to say to that?

Although I couldn’t see his face, his slightly teasing tone didn’t make it hard for me to imagine the look on his face when he said that. I missed him and his smile more than I thought possible. Thinking of what I discovered in the archive, my chest tightened and I wondered how Ace would react if I told him about what I happened to stumble upon. The first hurdle was how I’m supposed to start talking to him about it.

Would he think that it’s strange for me to be going through his old work like some freaky kind of stalker?

“Why are you quiet all of a sudden?” he asked.

This time it was his turn to sound worried. His sudden question snapped me out of my thoughts. I had no idea how long I was silent for as I struggled to find the right words to say to him.

“Umm…it’s nothing. I was just…thinking of random things…” I replied.

I closed my eyes and let out a silent sigh of disappointment. It was clear that I couldn’t bring that up right now. Plus, Ace seemed so busy right now that he probably didn’t have time to deal with another nonsense matter from me. I was supposed to be busy too, if I had time to think about that then I might as well focus on finishing off Project Alpha.

“Go to sleep, Rina…” he said.

“Ok…good night, Ace…” I wished him goodnight just like I always did.

“Make sure you run into me tomorrow…” he reminded me.

His serious tone brought a smile to my lips.

“Of course…” I replied just before the line disconnected.
