Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss 18+ novel Chapter 264

My legs were already taking me in the direction of the place where Ace used to slack off, or in his terms, to ‘hide from the world’.

There was only one place in this entire building where he could use to hide from the world. I had no idea how long that place could be kept a secret between us, but it didn’t seem like anyone paid enough attention to the rooftop to bother checking. I wondered how long Ace had been using that place as his nap room to hide away from the meetings that he didn’t want to attend. If I had to place my bets, it was probably since he first took over as the CEO of this company.

I almost ran up the stairs in my hurry to reach Ace. The fact that I was in heels did not work in my favor but I still did the best that I could. When I opened the door to the roof top, I paused in my tracks as I panted to catch my breath again.

The view of Ace’s back turned towards me as he seemed to be staring out at the view of the city in front of him told me that I was finally in the right place and at the right time. Finally, I had managed to run into Ace.

“Rina…” he said my name as he turned to greet me with a smile.

“Ace, you skipped out on your meeting again…” I began complaining before I could stop myself.

The spirit of being his secretary seemed burn brightly inside of me and I felt like I had to reprimand him for skipping out on his meeting and causing trouble for everyone else involved. Ace just chuckled softly before he turned to eye the view of the city again. I should have known that no one could get to him on this matter. At least he bothered to send someone in his place this time around.

“What are you doing up here anyways?” I asked as I came to stand by his side.

“Me? I’m just hiding from the world,” he replied while evading my question at the same time.

“Forget that I even asked,” I muttered with some annoyance.

“Sure…” he replied casually.

Ace seemed to be in a decently good mood since he still had in it him to tease me. There seemed to be something on his mind as he continued staring out at the view of the city that stretched out in front of our eyes. Perhaps he wasn’t just here to hide away from work. Maybe he was actually here to think about something important. I glanced over at him again and thought that I might just be taking his side a little too much on this.

“I went to the meeting room and was told that you skipped out on your meeting. You have no idea how rushed I was when I went out to buy us some food. I was so scared that I’ll miss you if I turned up late to that meeting room,” I said before I pouted at him.

“Oh, yeah?” he said before he turned to smile at me.

“After doing all that to get us some food, I managed to make it there on time, but you weren’t there. I had to apologize to the managers that I ran into for your absence too. It was such a mess…” I complained before I pouted again.

Ace just laughed at my complaints and I found myself smiling. It felt a little reassuring that the little tale of my trials and tribulation could make him laugh and help him to relax even if it was just a little.

“You got food?” Ace asked as he pointed to the bags that I were holding.
