“So, you’re saying that Ace wants another spin on the marketing message and plan even after it was already approved by the Ashford committee?” I asked to make sure that I understood correctly. “That’s right. I thought he approved it but apparently, he only thought that it was just passable to use to get approval from the committee, but he doesn’t think that the plan is good or detailed enough for actual implementation,” Julianna replied before biting down hard on her lower lip.I could sense her frustration and I was sure that I understood how she felt. Being told by Ace that her work wasn’t good enough must have been quite tough for her. Not having much experience on marketing, I wasn’t sure how much help I could offer but that didn’t mean that I wasn’t willing to give it my best shot. “What do you want us to do?” Jeremy asked while getting straight to the point.“You two are supposed to be good at coming up with creative ideas, right? Come up with a few ideas for us. We don’t have
“You’re here again…” the keeper greeted us without much interest. “Thanks for having us,” Jeremy replied cheerfully. I plastered a polite smile on my lips when I sensed that we weren’t exactly welcomed there. Apart from us, I doubt that anyone went down there to visit the archives. It was quiet and very cold down there. The keeper willingly let us in without much comment. Although I had been there only once before, I remembered exactly where Ace’s works were. “It might be worth checking other works as well. I’m not sure where the old marketing files are stored, though…” Jeremy said from behind me.“You’re right. Do you want to split up and look?” I suggested.“Good idea. I guess that you want to take a look at Ace’s past files, right?” Jeremy asked knowingly. I wondered if it was that obvious to him that I was excited to dive into Ace’s past works again. His guess was spot on, and I wasn’t bothered to deny it.“Yeah, I’ll take Ace’s part so you can see if you can find anything int
“Did you see a ghost or something, Karina?” Jeremy asked me teasingly. “No. Why?” I replied.“Your face is as white as a sheet. Please tell me that you found something useful…” he said hopefully. “I did…I think…” I mumbled.“Really? Show me…” he urged excitedly. “I took some notes. I’ll show you tomorrow…” I mumbled.“Why can’t you show me now? Are you in a hurry to head back?” he asked with clear disappointment. “Yeah, I need to head back. Sorry…” I replied. “What did you find exactly?” he asked as his eyes narrowed at me suspiciously. He wouldn’t truly understand it even if I tried to explain it to him. I smiled a little regretfully at Jeremy before deciding to give him a simplified answer instead. “A marketing plan…” I replied quite truthfully. Jeremy’s head cocked to the side as he shot me a truly confused look and I didn’t blame him for reacting that way. I wished that I could explain what I found to him, but my mind couldn’t focus on work any longer at that moment. “I’l
“Same goes for you. Will you be in the office tomorrow?” I asked hopefully.“I will be,” he replied immediately. “Great. I’ll make sure that we run into each other,” I declared enthusiastically. Ace just laughed at me. The sound of his laughter brought some joy and warmth to my heart. Although Ace was the one who told me to not overwork myself and to get some sleep, I doubt that he was getting enough sleep. Ace had been out of the office and I had to cancel a couple of management meetings that he had scheduled at our company for him. I wanted to ask where he went off to, but I knew that I wouldn’t get any answers anyways even if I did ask. While I was lost in my thoughts and my worries for him, I realized that Ace was unusually silent. I wanted to see him more than anything at that moment. The night would feel so long because I had to wait to see him tomorrow. “Is something wrong?” I asked in a small voice. “No, I just wanted to hear your voice…” he replied without missing a hear
“I’m very impressed with the idea that you came up with, Karina,” Jeremy said with a warm smile. “Thanks. I hope you got to catch up on some sleep last night…” I replied as I eyed his face.I couldn’t stop myself from smiling and giggling a little now that the bags under his eyes were less visible. It was a little sad that we had to take turns catching up on sleep like this; but hopefully soon, everything would work out for the better and this storm will past too. “Should we relax for a day?” Jeremy suggested in a hopeful voice.We headed back to our work desks where I dumped down my bag and my laptop. I wanted to rest for the day but the real reason that I wanted to get everything out of the way in the morning was because I had a very important matter to attend to.“That doesn’t sound too bad. Anyways, if you don’t need me then…” I said before I flashed him a smile.“Where are you going?” he asked as his eyes narrowed suspiciously at me. “I’m not going to run out to go shopping so
My legs were already taking me in the direction of the place where Ace used to slack off, or in his terms, to ‘hide from the world’. There was only one place in this entire building where he could use to hide from the world. I had no idea how long that place could be kept a secret between us, but it didn’t seem like anyone paid enough attention to the rooftop to bother checking. I wondered how long Ace had been using that place as his nap room to hide away from the meetings that he didn’t want to attend. If I had to place my bets, it was probably since he first took over as the CEO of this company. I almost ran up the stairs in my hurry to reach Ace. The fact that I was in heels did not work in my favor but I still did the best that I could. When I opened the door to the roof top, I paused in my tracks as I panted to catch my breath again. The view of Ace’s back turned towards me as he seemed to be staring out at the view of the city in front of him told me that I was finally in th
“No need. I’m just not hungry…” he replied. “Are you sure?” I asked with worry.“Yes, I’m sure…” he replied immediately. “Are you stressed about something?” I asked with my best guess.If it wasn’t the food, then it had to be his lack of appetite. I should have reached that conclusion the moment that I saw him staring out at the view of the city with a thoughtful look on his face. I wanted to know what he was thinking of and what seemed to be troubling him. Was something not going well at work? “Rina…” he called my name softly. “Wait…” I murmured when I saw the world flip over.I gasped when I felt the softness of the sofa against my back and then Ace loomed over me and blocked my field of vision. My heart began racing painfully fast in my chest when I saw the unmistakable look of desire in his hazel-brown eyes. “Ace…” I whispered his name, and his hand began stroking the side of my thigh over my skirt. He buried his face into the side of my neck and began kissing me there. I g
My pussy clenched in rhythm to his hand squeezing my breasts and soon I felt another gush of hot wetness rushing out from the slit in between my thighs. He was making me so wet for him. “Ahh!…No…” I cried out when his fingertips captured my swollen and erect perks in between them and started toying with them. He twirled my nipples skillfully between his fingertips while applying just enough pressure to make me go crazy from the pleasure. I called out his name as my hips bucked and he laughed softly at me. His beautiful eyes stared down at my breasts as his fingers began pinching and then tugging on my swollen nipples. “Your nipples are so hard. They’re begging for me to suck them…” he teased me in such a sexy voice that made my pussy clench at his words. “No…Ahh!” I cried out as unbelievable pleasure flooded my body.Ace’s hot wet mouth engulfed one of my nipples. The heat and wetness of his mouth surrounded my nipple and then his tongue began lapping at it. He teased my nipple in
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
