The Last Laugh novel Chapter 24

***

I worked while waiting for the right time to go meet Christina.

I waited for lunchtime to reach.

When it did reach, I left my office and made my way to hers.

I knocked at her door and she asked me to enter. I did.

"Good afternoon, Mrs Welds." I said with a smile as I entered her office. She smiled back.

"Hello, Ace. I told you to call me Christina."

"Alright." I took a seat, "Christina."

She smiled.

"That's more like it. I didn't see you this morning."

"I was too busy with the paper work."

"Okay. You- you seem happy this morning."

"Yeah, I'm quite in my mood today." I looked at her. She stared back with a little smirk.

Christina's POV:

I felt some sort attraction or sexual tension between Ace and I. Or maybe I was just imagining things. Yes, I was probably imagining things. I always imagined things of that sort.

Anyway, Ace was a young stud that I was planning to have. To add to my list. I'd always been the same. I didn't change. As I grew older, my tastes for younger men in particular, remained the same. I didn't care. I'd always been shameless. I had the right to do what I wanted.

"So, why did you come to my office? Aren't you going for lunch?" I asked.

"I am."

"Then?"

"Well," he adjusted his tie in an uncomfortable way, as if he was nervous or something, "...I'm only an employee but I really wanna try that sushi out with you." he smirked.

I felt goosebumps take over my skin. He was a hottie alright.

"Really?"

"Yeah. Last time I refused your invitation in a rather rude manner. Well, I wanna catch up."

"Hm, okay. Let's go then." I got my cars keys. He stopped me.

"I'm sorry but your car keys would be useless. I have a car."

My brows shot up.

"You have a car?"

"Um, yes."

He looked rich and independent. The kind of young man with the right diplomas to build his own company. Why did he come to work as a secretary?

"Okay then, Ace." I slightly bit my lower lip. He noticed. I'd wanted him to and he gave me a knowing smirk to confirm it. "Let's go."

He stood up and went over to open the door for me.

"After you, ma'am."

I smiled and made my way for the door.

"I wonder what the other employees would think." I said.

"Well, your car has a little problem and so you asked your secretary to drive you to the sushi restaurant." he smiled. I laughed a little.

"Good."

I felt like I would really appreciate this sympathetic side of him. He was a nice guy on the inside apparently. And I was planning on flirting with him. And even doing more.

Ace's POV:

Christina was a disgusting woman. Very easy to fool. She probably already had thoughts of getting closer to me. I'd simply invited her for lunch, yet she had already started flirting. The smiles I gave her were a sign of my slowly approaching victory, she thought they were positive answers to her approaches.
