Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss 18+ novel Chapter 298

“Ace…” I called his name softly as I approached him.

I stood up on my tiptoes and placed a sweet little kiss on his lips. Ace seemed slightly surprised, but he did end up smiling charmingly my way. That felt like one of the best rewards that I could ever have asked for.

“Good luck at work. I’ll be seeing you soon…” I told him with a smile.

“No need to rush yourself too much. There’s still time,” he replied.

“Should I get you coffee or something when I get in?” I asked.

“No need. Let’s hope that we can get some proper lunch instead…” he replied as he headed for the door.

I watched as Ace left and the door closed behind him. Being left alone in his place felt slightly lonely and for a moment I had the urge to quickly get dressed and rush to the office. Instead, I took Ace’s advice to take my time and relax a little. I did wake up too early in the morning so I did happen to have some time on my hands. I wondered how Julianna and her team were fairing after what appeared to be quite a heavy night of drinking and partying at that bar. If Ace was going to be in the office early, then Julianna and her team better get there earlier.

Suddenly, I felt the urge to stretch and raised my arms over my head before twisting my waist to enjoy a good round of stretching. I didn’t want to admit it, but things were going to get busier at work. In fact, I suspected that Ace and the team would be busy all the way until the official end of the project and the announcement of the Ashford competition winner. Hopefully that winner would be none other than us but to make sure that that would turn out to be the case, everyone probably had to keep pushing up until the last minute.

While taking a quick shower and dressing up, I began thinking about what I could possibly do to help Ace and the team. My role was quite limited now because the scope had progressed out of my hands. I was sure that there would be many things that I could learn just from observing and being present. I could learn many things from Julianna and her team on marketing and also many things from Ace on how he managed a project of this scale.

The weather outside was decently nice when I finally stepped out of the building. Although Ace had told me that he didn’t want anything and hoped that we would have time for a proper lunch together instead, I suspected that a proper lunch or a lunch of any form my not be coming out way. To be safe rather than sorry, I decided to drop by a café to get us coffee and something that we could munch on for lunch. I had a hunch that things would get very busy for Ace today and didn’t want him to skip out on his meal.

Despite the little detour, I still arrived a little earlier than the official start of the workday. Many large groups of people had gathered in front of our office building and also in the lobby as well. I didn’t need to hear the conversations that they were having to know that they were talking about the launch of our commercial. Project Alpha really was a big thing every year and this year the project received even more attention from the staff probably because of Ace’s announcement to step down after its completion.
