Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss 18+ novel Chapter 302

I gasped as I covered my mouth with my hand when I saw Ace’s short message that told me to wait for him where I was because he was going to come over and see me. Instinctively, I turned around and started scanning the crowd of people walking by as if I expected to see Ace among them. He had just sent the message, so it didn’t make sense for him to be here already. Although I knew that very well, I couldln’t stop myself from looking around in search for him as my heart began racing faster in my chest.

The moment of excitement quickly past and was replaced by a slight sense of dread when I thought of how unfruitful my attempt was in coming here. Ace would probably ask me questions and I didn’t want to tell him just how useless my attempt had been. My mind quickly raced to think of something to tell him that wouldn’t sound too unimpressive. Some passerby gave me curious looks as they walked past me while I shifted nervously from one foot to another. Time seemed to tick by at a slower pace as I stood there waiting for Ace to make his appearance.

It didn’t take long until I spotted Ace approaching me. He was either close to this place or he walked from the office at a much faster pace than I did earlier. Ace lifted a hand up and waved in my direction. I lifted my hand and waved back to him hesitantly as I tried to put on my best smile. He would probably ask me what I was doing here, and I didn’t have anything impressive to tell him apart from my little failure of a mission. That dreadful thought didn’t stop my heart from skipping a beat in excitement at seeing Ace.

“What are you doing out here?” he asked when he came to stand right in front of me.

I knew it. I knew that he would ask me something like this right away.

“This is the closest spot where our commercial is on display…” I replied before pursing my lips together.

Ace’s eyes glanced over at the large screen behind me before shifting back to rest on my face. He had a slightly thoughtful look on his face that made me feel like he was about to ask me more questions.

“So, why did you decide to come here?” he asked while sounding very casual.

A few people walked past us as I tried to find the right words and hide the sense of dread at how unproductive I had been. I wondered if Ace had already figured out the next move for the team while I was just standing here.

“I thought that I might learn something from talking to the people who saw our commercial here…” I replied in a small voice.

Ace turned to look at the people that walked by without paying any attention to the large screen where our commercial was playing before his eyes refocused on my face again. My throat felt dry, and I knew that he was going to ask me even more pressing questions.

“Did you find out anything useful?” he asked.

“No, I didn’t. People here don’t seem to pay much attention to the commercial and since I’ve been standing here, I haven’t seen a single person stop to actually watch the commercial. Because of that, I haven’t had the chance to ask anyone any questions…” I admitted sadly.
