Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss 18+ novel Chapter 277

“You’re right. Let’s save the rest for tonight,” he said before he flashed me a smile.

I didn’t know how to respond to that bold hint of what I was to expect later tonight when we returned to his place together so just tried my best to offer him one of my best smiles. Ace responded just like he could read my mind and I was thankful for that.

“There’s not much time left. You should head back to the auditorium first,” I told him quite sternly.

“Yes, Ma’am…” he replied mockingly.

He gave me a nod and a smile before he went on ahead. I pressed a hand against my chest as I took in a few consecutive deep breaths to calm the rapid beating of my own heart that hammered against the palm of my hand. It was far from the first time that he had kissed me this way, but I still couldn’t stop myself from getting so excited from his kiss. I closed my eyes and let out a sigh as I tried to collect myself. Just like Ace, I should head back to the auditorium soon as well because there may be things that I could help out with in the background.

I decided to head to the toilet to straighten my makeup and made sure that I looked presentable before returning to the auditorium. By the time that I got there, everyone was on standby including Ace. Although the official starting time had not started, the fact that some members of the press had started to arrive meant that the event has pretty much started. Julianna once again pulled her connections and used all her magic spells to make sure that we had everyone that mattered from the press joining the launch announcement.

From where I stood to the back of the auditorium, I could see logos of many leading news outlets and media companies. I had no idea where Ace was at that moment but if I had to guess then he was probably with the backstage staff doing some last minute preparations in the dressing room. After a moment of standing alone, Jeremy spotted me and gave me a wave. I waved back immediately as I watched him make his way towards me.

“This place is going to be filled with people soon…” Jeremy whispered as he came to stand by my side.

“The more the better…” I whispered back.

I wondered if he was feeling as nervous as I felt. As per the customs of how things are done, we would be playing the commercial during the final part of this launch event for the press to see first. It was fair considering that they had to write or talk about it and they couldn’t do that without having seen the commercial. Then later this evening, our real audiences will get to see it. The thought of anyone outside the team seeing our commercial made my palm feel sweaty.

“You know, I can tell that you’re so nervous right now…” Jeremy said teasingly.

“You can? What about you? Are you nervous too?” I asked as if finding a friend who felt the same way would make me feel better about myself.

“I don’t look nervous to you? That’s good. I’m working based on Ace’s advice not to let it show…” Jeremy replied before winking my way.

“Ace’s advice?” I repeated curiously.
