Lahat ng Kabanata ng Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss: Kabanata 221 - Kabanata 230

“Why didn’t you tell me?” I snapped.If he knew that Elizabeth was on the way here to see Ace, why didn’t he let me know. The way Ace acted was suspicious and he seemed extremely worried all throughout our drive back here. I didn’t want to believe that he could look that concern if he just wanted to meet Elizabeth. Something must have happened. Something…serious…“You told me not to contact you. Remember?” Kyle replied teasingly. Shit. I guess I did say something along those lines. “I told you not to contact me unless something happens. Doesn’t this count as something happening?” I snapped in a hushed tone. “Rina…” Kyle called my name in a hushed whisper and then I felt my arm being pulled roughly. Just when I was about to yell at him for scaring me, a car drove by us and into the parking lot. The way Kyle’s body seemed to stiffen next to me told me without any doubt whose car that was just now. No wonder he felt like we needed to hide away for a bit while that car past by us. “

I connected the dots that she probably made the reservation after she gave Ace a call. They probably decided to meet up here. As for why they had to meet up at the office first before coming here remained a mystery to me. “Also, I bribed some of the staff here to help me keep tabs on Elizabeth…” Kyle confessed softly. My eyes widened in surprise. Although I had to say that it sounded like something that Kyle would have done. “So, they’re really here?” I mumbled.What should we do now? Do we just wait here until they come out? Then, what?Let’s say hypothetically that we caught Ace and Elizabeth coming out of the hotel together and going to their private club, then what? Would I just jump out and confront them and then ask why the two of them were together? My brows furrowed when I suddenly realized that what we were doing was totally pointless if we didn’t plan to confront our partners. Then again, I wasn’t sure if I was ready to confront Ace about this. What if we did it and we

Ace told me something similar about his relationship with Elizabeth. Even when they were engaged to be married, they never really dated at all. I wondered what, if anything, has changed between them. “Maybe I should just ask Ace. This is driving me insane…” I murmured to myself. “Will he answer you honestly? What do you think?” Kyle asked as if he could read my mind and the worries swimming inside it. “I don’t know. Will you believe Elizabeth? Have you asked her?” I asked. “Not directly. She will just yell at me and say that it’s all nonsense. She would deny everything, and I’ll have no idea if she’s telling the truth or not…” Kyle replied.“You don’t trust her?” I asked as I wondered how much I trusted Ace.Kyle did not reply to me, and I decided not to press him. I hated to admit it, but it seemed like we were in the same boat. He probably felt very similar to the way that I was feeling. Although I didn’t like to admit it, I thought that I could pretty much understand how he was

“Why are you suddenly asking me this? Did something happen?” I asked in return.“Nothing at all. I was just curious. It’s always good to evaluate how you feel about the job regularly and it’s been a few years since you started so I just thought that having a good reflection might be good for you too,” he replied before he smiled warmly at me.“Thank you…for helping me reflect. I really like the job, so you don’t have to worry about me quitting anytime soon…” I replied followed by a teasing laugh.“That’s good to hear. Retaining our top talents is also a big part of my job,” Ace replied simply.“I see, Mr. CEO…” I replied teasingly.Ace just grinned at me, but he didn’t say anything else. Silence crept up on us again, but the atmosphere was lighter than it was before. I flicked my tongue along my lower lip as I summoned my courage to bring up the issue with Elizabeth again.“Ace…” I murmured softly.“It’s late. You should go to bed and get some rest. Sorry for dropping by out of the bl

My eyes widened and my mouth dropped open at his simple words. I stared at his face before my eyes wandered to the faces of the other team members in the room. Their faces mirrored the exact expression of shock that I had on my face. We were shocked but in a very pleased and exciting way. It wasn’t normal for Ace to compliment something so directly like this. Plus, he didn’t have any other comments and that was the best thing of all.“Do you really mean it? This commercial is fine now, right?” I asked breathlessly.“It is. Make sure that we confirm our next meeting with the committee. All relevant teams, please submit the final plans for the launch of his commercial to the public so that we can get moving first thing after we get the committee’s approval,” Ace instructed professionally.I was too over the moon happy to care much about the next steps that the other teams had to handle. For me, it was already a miracle that the commercial finally passed its review with Ace. All the nois
