The Last Laugh novel Chapter 41

***

Heather's POV:

That night, I was sleeping at Shirley's place.

We watched a movie together yet we discussed throughout.

"How was work. Or if I may ask, did you speak with your new friend today?" Shirley teased.

"Shirley, stop. He's not the first employee I'm friends with. You're crazy." I giggled.

"I know but he is so hot!"

"That's true." I remembered the pic. I turned to her, "Today while I was at lunch with Kevin, I texted Ace."

"Uh, huh?"

"I asked him to send a pic of himself."

Shirley's eyes widened.

"You what?? You are becoming bold!" she exclaimed and we both laughed.

"It pops up at times. I was kidding though. but he did send a pic."

"Oouu, where is it? Lemme see it!" she said excitedly.

I laughed and took out my phone to show her the picture. When I did, Shirley seized the phone from my hand to have a closer look at the picture. Her mouth dropped open.

"Oh my fucking gosh!" she exclaimed. I laughed. "Is he a part-time model too?" she asked me.

"No. He's fit right?"

"Yes! Oh gosh, he's handsome."

"Hahaha, don't exaggerate, Shirley."

She looked at me.

"Am I lying?"

"Well," I blushed a little, "...no."

"Voila! You have said it yourself. I'm sure he likes you."

"N– no way."

"You sure?"

"Yes. And by the way he knows I have a boyfriend that I appreciate really much."

Shirley rolled her eyes.

"Let's do something. Call him." she smiled.

"What?? Why?"

"I don't know? I just wanna hear his voice. I'm sure he's sleeping by now. It's past midnight. If he picks, maybe, I said maybe, he likes you. Cuz I see no one who'd interrupt a cozy sleep for a midnight call. Just try."

I doubted.

"And plus," she added, wriggling her brows, "...a boy's sleep voice is the sexiest thing you can hear."

I giggled and she too.

"That's so true." I said with a blush as I nervously looked at my fingers.

"Now call. And let's see if Ace has a sexy, sleep voice."

We both laughed.

"But what will I say?"

"Ask him some dumb shit about work."
