“Julianna will handle it. It’s mostly marketing and monitoring now. She’s a pro at that, so I don’t see anything going wrong that she can’t possibly handle on her own. Of course, she’ll give me a call if anything major turns up,” Ace replied confidently while navigating the roads.
“Right…umm…what about us?” I asked in wonder.
It was still midday so it probably didn’t make much sense for us to head back to his place right away. Even though I wanted to spend time with Ace, I was too excited and concerned about the commercial that I was torn about what I wanted to do. If only, there was a way that I could be with him while doing some work to support to project at the same time that would be completely perfect.
“You’ll see…” Ace replied vaguely.
I stared at the side profile of his face as he kept his eyes on the road ahead while I wondered what exactly he had in mind for the remainder of the day. The traffic wasn’t too bad during the midday and we arrived back at Ace’s place in no time at all. Thankfully, we did not run into the reporters while leaving the building either. Everything seemed to be progressing smoothly, if only the launch of the commercial would proceed as smoothly as this.
“Are you hungry?” Ace asked as he came to open the car door for me.
“Not really…” I replied honestly.
The truth was that I was too nervous about how the commercial was going to perform to think about anything else. The official release of the commercial was scheduled for early this evening; however, Julianna had planned for the commercial to start playing in some key areas of the city such as large screens in the main shopping areas and strategic landmarks before then. That will probably give us a good view of how well the commercial would do even before the official launch to all channels a few hours later in the evening. Just thinking about it made my hand sweat from anxiousness.
Food was the last thing on my mind when we arrived at Ace’s penthouse suite. The view from the living room never failed to impress me; however, I didn’t have much brain capacity left to take in and process the view today. Just because I wasn’t hungry didn’t mean that Ace didn’t want food.
“Should we order in lunch, or should we go out?” I asked although I wasn’t feeling hungry.
“Get changed. Let’s go out,” he instructed as he headed for the bedroom.
“Get changed? Where are we going exactly?” I asked curiously.
“Wear something casual and easy to walk in. Casual jeans and flats…” he instructed.
I stared at Ace’s back for a moment before he disappeared completely from view into the bedroom. My legs seemed glued to the spot as I cocked my head to the side while wondering what was going on and what Ace really had in mind.
“Get moving, Rina…” Ace called out to me while poking his head out from the bedroom.
“Ok…” I replied.
I wanted to tell Ace so much that if he told me exactly where he intended to take me, it would be much easier for me to pick out something ‘casual’ to wear. After rolling my eyes, I headed to my closet and pulled out a simple white top, blue jeans, and a jacket. When I had gotten changed, Ace was already done with changing his outfit as well.
