I was too overwhelmed by the positive responses and reaction that the commercial had received to even focus on anything that Julianna said during her presentation. That wasn’t such a bad thing because I already reviewed her presentation and knew all the key points that she wanted to get across to the judges. “Well, I’m glad that everything ended fine…” Jeremy comment before he reached up both his arms and stretched. “You had no idea how much work I had to do to get us that meeting. Everything better turn out fine…” Julianna muttered darkly.The presentation ended with overwhelming success. The judges liked our commercial and were also in support of our launch and marketing plans. What that meant was that we didn’t need to make any edits to the commercial. To me, that was the best news of all because that meant that we didn’t need to waste any more time in reshooting or reediting anything. Most of all, that meant that the commercial that we had come up with was perfect enough.I felt
Men’s fashion is on the third floor of the mall…Feeling lazy and too in a rush to take the escalator up, I decided to take the elevator instead. The third floor was indeed filled with men’s wear, accessories, and shoes. After walking around aimlessly for a while, I realized that I was going through a classic first-world problem of having too many options to choose from. There were just so many things available for purchase that it was hard for me to choose. That coupled with the fact that I didn’t really have anything in mind in the first place, just made it even harder for me. “Do you need some help? Are you looking for something?” a saleswoman said when she approached me.Her pleasant smile told me that she was all ears and that she was here to offer her sincere help. However, I wasn’t sure if my reply would give her enough to work off of. “Well, my…umm…boyfriend’s birthday is coming up and I’m trying to pick a present out for him…” I replied a little shyly. There was no doubt a
It was quite late when I made it back to my apartment. Although all we had to do was find something that would match with the pendant that Ace gave me, it took us a long time to find something that would work. I didn’t think that there would be so many options for a pendant in the shape of a sun, but there was. The bigger problem was to choose a design that would fit Ace’s character. The worse outcome that I wanted to avoid at all costs was the one where he wouldn’t wear the gift that I got for him.In the end, the saleswoman helped me settle on something. Although it was pricey, I willingly paid for it and asked it to be gift wrapped. I had to say that the staff did an over-the-top job of gift wrapping the pendant in its small box and the package looked so flashy that it made it look like a Christmas present for a kid instead. Now that I was back in my apartment, I took out the small, gift-wrapped box and stared at it. My heart fluttered in my chest when I thought of Ace’s reaction
Why did the party have to land on Ace’s birthday of all days?“I like it. Thank you so much, Ace…” I thanked him while trying to sound very cheerful.“Glad that you like it. I’ll pick you up tomorrow at your place,” he reminded me again.“Sure. Good night…” I replied.“Good night, Rina. Get loads of rest,” Ace said before hanging up. …Although it was his birthday, Ace was busy the whole day. He didn’t give me a call, but he did send me a text to tell me that he had some business to attend to but for me not to worry because he was going to turn up to pick me up on time. I spent the whole day restlessly waiting for time to pass by. I wondered if we would have time after the party to spend together. Usually, these business events in the evening didn’t last for too long and would usually end around midnight at the latest even if there was an afterparty. Ace can probably opt out of the after-party if he wanted so maybe we can still enjoy some private time afterward. I wondered when woul
Ace took my hand just as the driver opened the car door for us. He helped me out of the car while I tried my best not to trip. I could feel the attention of the press on us as the large crowd of reporters and cameramen swarmed us like bees attracted to raw honey. The security team quickly came in to control them. It might just be me, but I felt like they were extra excited to see Ace. After a lot of shouting from the crowd that was hard for me to pick up any coherent words, Ace seemed to give in and allowed for a short interview. I felt extremely uncomfortable, but I knew that I had to do as Ace had instructed. While smiling as politely as I could, I stood by Ace’s side as the reporters shoved their microphones closer to us. It was all thanks to the security guards that we still had some space to ourselves otherwise, I was certain that the reporters would have stepped right on us. All attention was on Ace as the reporters took turns flooding him with questions about his business. Ev
“Do you throw a big birthday party like this every year?” I asked.“Not quite but very similar. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I enjoy throwing these parties, but it is partly required for business. It’s also a way to connect with our clients and the public scene. We are a media company, so we need to stay in the spotlight as well. It would be bad if they forgot about me and the company,” Ace explained.“I see…” I murmured.I guess he was right about that. Even from where I was standing next to Ace, I could already spot a few executives from our client companies that I recognized walking by. The hall where the party was being held was very large and there was a large stage right in front where a band was currently playing. It truly was a fancy birthday party, and I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do. “My father always made sure to throw these kinds of parties. If you’re interested, I can invite you to his birthday party as well. Trust me, it is much fancier with many more guest
“Of course, it is. Come this way…” Ace said.I felt the warmth of his comforting touch on my elbow as he helped support me. The walk felt so long but we finally reached the round table where I could take a seat. “If you need to greet your guests, you can go ahead. Just leave me here, I’ll be fine…” I said with a smile. “No need. I’m pretty much done with that. Plus, the main part of the event is about to start,” Ace said as he sat down next to me.The seats at the round table were still empty and there was no one else there except for us. However, it didn’t take long for the other people to arrive at the table. Although I should have expected it, I was still surprised when Ace’s father appeared and took a seat at the same round table that we were. A few other people that seemed to be his father’s VVIP guests joined him at the table. “This is Karina, my personal secretary,” Ace introduced me smoothly. “It is a pleasure to meet you…” I replied as politely as I could.Thankfully, the
I had no idea if Ace knew about this but glancing over at him told me that he wasn’t at all flustered by this. Suddenly, there was a blinding light that made me wince and squeeze my eyes shut for a moment before I attempted to open them again. The spotlight felt blinding as it focused on Ace. I watched as Ace calmly got up from his seat amid the loud cheering and applaud from the crowd before he made his way over to the stage. I guess a birthday party isn’t complete if the birthday boy doesn’t get up on stage to say a few words. Ace made his way to the podium while the cheering in the venue did not subside at all. It made me feel like Ace was some kind of celebrity and these people were his avid followers and supporters. Maybe that was the case, I had no idea.Perhaps, like me, there were many people who truly admired his work and achievements. I wondered what Ace was going to say now that he had everyone’s attention and now that he has taken the stage. Maybe he would politely thank
Almost immediately after Aiden was born, we were urged to move back to the city where Aiden could be raised in Ace’s family estate with an army of servants at his service. Naturally, I was against the idea right from the start. Surprisingly, Ace was even more against the idea and made sure that we were not disturbed as we continued to raise our young baby in the comfort of our own home. My mother moved into the house with us to help take care of baby Aiden. Ace fell in love with being a father and couldn’t wait to expand our family even further. Just when Aiden turned one year old, we began another baby-making project which resulted in another pregnancy not so long after. Roughly nine months later, Aiden became a big brother to baby Katie. Having two children to take care of increased our fun exponentially. By that time, we had our hands really full with the children and struggled to keep up with work at the office. “Maybe I should stop working to take care of the children…” I mumbl
“With pleasure,” I replied with a smile. Everything he did and said to me turned me on so badly. I wanted him so much that I thought that I might go crazy if I had to wait any longer to have him. My hands shook a little as I rushed to unbuckle his belt and unzip his pants. I sucked in a breath as I stared at the thick and throbbing monster that sprang into my hands. His cock was already gigantic and extremely erect. The virile look of his tool made my insides quiver just thinking of all the things that it could do to me once it entered me. “Put it inside you, Rina…” Ace urged in a seductive drawl that made my pussy quiver in anticipation. I knew that he was teasing me, but I found it so temptingly sexy at the same time. His cock throbbed in my hand, and I could feel it getting thicker and hotter. I stroked it up and down teasingly as I observed the look of desire that crept into Ace’s hazel eyes.“Let me help you spread your legs…” Ace offered as he grabbed my thighs and lifted the
The fact that we worked together and lived together gave rise to ample opportunities for us to get it on. At the rate that we were going, I wouldn’t be surprised to find out one day that I had successfully conceived. “Everyone headed home already. Should we call it a day and head home too?” I asked as I approached Ace in his personal office. Work has been quite busy as of late because many projects were due at pretty much the same time. Everyone in the office has been busy and hiring more people to take on the work also meant that there were more people for us to supervise. Time seemed to fly by each time and before I knew it, the sun had set outside, and it was getting dark. Working extra hours slowly became the norm again, although the work was still much more motivating and interesting than ever before. “Are you tired?” Ace asked with a worried look on his face.“Not really. I just don’t think you should work too late,” I replied honestly. “I guess I should stop working now the
“You’re not that old, dad. Surely, you can wait a few years,” Ace said defensively. “It doesn’t matter whether or not I’m old. She’s your wife and this is part of what she needs to do,” he said as he stared directly at me. “Stop pressuring her. Stress makes it harder for women to conceive. Don’t you know that?” Ace asked jokingly, although it was quite true. “Stop taking her side on this one,” his father warned. “She’s my wife, so of course, I’ll take her side. I know that you want to become a grandfather so badly, but you have to be patient. Don’t worry, we won’t disappoint you. We’ll have loads of children,” Ace said while sounding quite happy.I wasn’t sure how to handle the situation, so I was thankful that Ace was covering for me. There was no way that I would bend to the pressure and agree to having a baby right away. The few years that I stated felt like the right timeframe for me and if Ace didn’t have an issue with it, then it felt like enough for me. I have to say that I
I could sense that more trouble was coming our way and that I wasn’t going to quite like what he had to say. “Why do you think your father wants to see us?” I asked in a shaky voice. “You don’t need to be so scared of him,” Ace replied teasingly. “I don’t know…it just feels like there’s something that he wants from us…” I murmured before letting out a soft sigh. “Don’t overly worry yourself over nothing, Rina. We’re married now so I hope that you’ll get used to my dad even if I have to say that he’s not the easiest person to deal with,” Ace said before showing me a smile that I felt was comforting. “He suddenly requested to see us, and we just got back,” I said while still sounding very worried. “Maybe he has good news for us,” Ace said brightly. I highly doubted it, but I didn’t want to voice my thoughts out loud. There was a possibility that Ace might be right but that probably was probably very slim. The main estate for Ace’s family felt as intimidating as ever when we arriv
My body was hungry for even more pleasure, and I couldn’t wait to feel something even hotter and thicker stretching and filling up my insides.“Ace…please…” I begged him as I spread my legs wide for him. I reached up toward him with both my arms invitingly as I kept my pussy spread open to welcome his cock. Ace’s cock looked ready to burst and I knew that he couldn’t wait to shove that massive tool inside of me. “You look so sexy right now,” he complimented me with a look of raw desire in his eyes. “Take me…please…” I begged shamelessly as I held my thighs spread open for him. Ace stroked my pussy lips before spreading them and positioning the thick head of his cock at my entrance. I whimpered his name when I felt the hot heat of his hardness pressing against my pussy. Our eyes met and my insides clenched wildly in anticipation of his entrance. Ace smiled down at me before he thrusted his hips forward and screwed his cock hard and deep into my flooded love cave. “Ahhh!” I cried o
Just like how I wanted to make our wedding unforgettable, I wanted our first night together as a married couple to be unforgettable as well. Ace carried me to the bed and climbed on top of me just after we had arrived at the resort that we would be staying at for our honeymoon. It felt like the sea and all that mother nature had to offer outside could wait for the moment. At that moment, all that really mattered was the fact that we were together. “I want to fuck you already,” Ace confessed in a whisper close to my ear. His words and the way his warm breath tickled my ear sent shivers along my spine and I realized very quickly just how turned on I was already. Ace’s lips moved from my neck to capture my lips in an aggressive kiss that did nothing to hide his desire to have me. I kissed him back just as fervently before parting my lips invitingly for his tongue to delve inside my wet mouth. “Mhmm…” I moaned from the satisfaction of his tongue invading my mouth.My tongue welcomed hi
The guests clapped and cheered but I was so oblivious to them at that moment. All I could focus on was Ace while I cherished this memory that we were making together. It felt like a very bright and wonderful start to our future life as a married couple. The lunch reception that followed was slightly stressful for me given the fact that I didn’t have the chance to meet many people from Ace’s side of the family before. Regardless of my worries, it turned out that everyone was friendly enough even if it was for the sake of politeness. “Just smile, Rina. My bride looks so beautiful today,” Ace complimented me openly. “Thank you,” I replied softly.I knew that he was basically telling me to leave everything up to him and I didn’t mind letting him take the lead on this one. If I had to place my bets on which one out of us was the best at handling his family members, then it would be him and definitely not me. To my surprise, Ace’s father was very active in managing the guests. His conside
To my surprise, Ace was firm with his father so that his business partners would not be on the guest list. At the end of the day, the Chairman had to give his approval for Ace to have his way. I knew that Ace must have done that out of respect for my wishes.The white church decorated with a mix of white and light pastel pink and blue flowers gave off the slightly fairytale vibe that I had in mind. In fact, the set up and decoration looked better than what I could have imagined in my mind. The inside of the church was decorated with the same theme of flowers. “This is better than what I had in mind…” I told Ace honestly. “I’m glad to hear it. Let’s have a wonderful wedding, Rina,” Ace said before showing me a smile so charming that my heart skipped a beat. He reached for my hand and entwined his fingers with mine before giving my hand a soft and encouraging squeeze. I suddenly felt so excited and the wedding that was about to start felt more real than ever. “You’re right. Let’s re
