Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss 18+ novel Chapter 303

“I guess…” Ace replied vaguely.

I nodded my head slightly as I turned to stare up at the large screen. The commercial that we made looked so touching and beautiful up there that it made me feel sentimental about it. I was probably biased and saw more than what was actually there because I could vividly recall the hard work and all that we had to go through just to put that work up there on the screen like that.

“Let’s head back to the office,” I suggested after turning to face Ace again.

“Are you free for dinner tonight?” he asked invitingly.

I stared up into his face as my heart started to race from excitement. He was just asking me out for dinner, but I couldn’t help but feel like it was something major. I was happy for a moment before I realized that with what was going on at work, it may not be the right time for us to go off on a dinner date together.

“Umm…are you sure that it’s, ok?” I asked as I hesitated.

“What do you mean by that?” he asked as if he couldn’t understand why I was hesitating.

“Well, you know…with all the problem at work and all that…” I replied as I shifted a little nervously on my feet.

Ace gave me a confused look before he chuckled in a very carefree manner. Suddenly, it seemed like I was worried about nothing at all. I wanted desperately to believe that everything was fine, and that Julianna would work something out based on Ace’s advice just as he had told me.

“It’ll be fine. I’m sure that we’ll work something out before the end of the workday. I plan to chase everyone except Julianna and her team back home at the end of the day anyways. There’s no point in having everyone camping out in the war room if all we can do is wait for the next set of numbers to come in,” he replied as he offered me his hand.

“I truly hope so…” I murmured.

“Do you want to drop by and buy something to eat before heading back? You haven’t really eaten, right?” he asked knowingly.

“Let’s do that…” I replied decisively.

I was worried about the project more than I let on. While walking back to the office, I made a silent oath to myself that I was going to help Julianna with whatever I could so that I could rest easy later in the evening when I went out with Ace for our dinner date. If I can make sure that Julianna had concrete next steps for what she wanted to do to handle the situation, then I could rest easy and enjoy my dinner with Ace and that would be like killing two birds with one stone.

“Welcome back…” Julianna said without looking our way when we entered the room.
