Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss 18+ novel Chapter 274

Ace seemed surprised for the first time since I stepped into his personal office. I should have known that question would have sounded weird. It was also very straightforward; however, I didn’t want to evade it any longer. I just had to know his thoughts on this and because of that, I decided to wait in silence for Ace’s answer.

“Nothing,” he replied simply.

“Nothing?” I repeated his reply in surprise.

I hadn’t thought that the answer that he arrived to after being surprised and putting his thought into it would be so simple.

“Nothing. Nothing will change between us. Just because I won’t be working here anymore doesn’t mean that anything will change between us. Well, I’ll no longer be your boss and you won’t be my secretary anymore but that doesn’t have anything to do with our relationship,” Ace explained calmly.

I guess that did kind of make sense…

“Umm…do you really mean that?” I asked just to make sure.

“Of course. I mean it, and it’s true. We may see each other less if I no longer work here and you decide to continue working here, but we can make up for it in our free time,” he replied casually like it was no big deal.

I should have known that Ace would respond with something like that. After all, there shouldn’t have been any doubt in my mind about Ace leaving me simply because he was going to quit his job. The chairman was probably just saying that to mess with my head and I cursed myself silently for letting him mess with my mind like that.

“Is there anything that I can do to change your mind? Is there anything that I can do to keep you here as the CEO?” I asked what I was supposed to ask him.

Ace looked at me with a sharp look for a moment before his expression relaxed and he smiled at me instead.

“No…” he replied without any hesitation.

“I see. That’s a relief to hear actually,” I replied as relief flooded my voice.

I let out a sigh as I pressed a hand to my chest before I returned his smile. It was the right decision for me to ask him that just to get the load off of my chest.

“Why is that?” Ace asked curiously.
