Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss 18+ novel Chapter 268

Our eyes met and after a moment of staring deeply into each other’s eyes, Ace let out a sigh of resignation. I felt like I had achieved something monumental when Ace gave in and decided to attend the meeting that was coming up.

“You have to hurry up or you’re going to be late to your meeting,” I urged as I pulled on his arm.

Ace hesitantly got up from the sofa. I could tell that he didn’t want to go out to work at all, but I also thought that it would be better for everyone if he would just go back to work.

“You can do this…” I said encouragingly.

“Alright…” Ace muttered as he placed his large hand on top of my head.

He looked down into my upturned face before he leaned down and placed a soft kiss on my forehead. The kiss was soft and fleeting. Ace had straightened up and was on his way out of the door before I knew it. I lifted my hand and touched the tips of my fingers against the spot on my forehead that he had just kissed.

“Ace!” I called after him when we were both out of the room.

He turned around with a questioning look to look my way. I quickly closed the distance between us and made it to his side.

“Hang in there, ok? I’m sure that you can do whatever you set your mind to,” I said.

Since it didn’t seem that there was much that I could help him with, I felt like the least that I could do was to show him my support. Of course, I had committed myself to doing anything to help support him no matter how big or small. My words seemed to have reached Ace before he smiled down at me.

“Thank you, Rina. I’m sorry that it’s taking so long but things will end up fine for both of us,” he said it like a promise.

I didn’t miss that he chosen to say ‘both of us’. Because I couldn’t find my voice as my emotions started welling up inside of me, all I could do was nod my head at him once firmly. His words touched me and made me feel like I was making the right choice in trusting him with our future.

“I’ll work hard too. Please don’t worry about Project Alpha. We’ll definitely win the competition,” I said with such confidence that I was shocked at myself.

“Good. I’m waiting to hear some very good news,” he said with a smile.

“Sure. Well, now it’s fine for you to go to your meeting. Should I walk you there?” I suggested brightly.

Ace just shook his head at me as he led the way out of the rooftop. I quickly followed after him because I wasn’t exactly joking when I said that I would walk him to his meeting room. Because I didn’t have a meeting scheduled right now, I was free to accompany him and I fully intended to personally make sure that Ace turned up to his meeting. Maybe if I left him, he’ll just hide away somewhere else without attending the meeting.
