All Chapters of Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss: Chapter 281 - Chapter 290

Although it was the middle of a weekday, there were many people in the shopping district. I guessed that just goes to show how into shopping people were. Then again, most people that were there were younger people who haven’t started working yet or the elderly. Many tourists were among them as well. I was certain that within a few hours, this entire place would be packed with people. I fully assumed that Ace knew where we were going. He must have spoken to Julianna and the team already and that meant that he knew all the spots where the commercial would be displayed. My heart began beating harder and faster in my chest at the thought of how close I was to finding out the audience’s reaction to the commercial that we had worked so hard to produce.Many couples walked hand in hand as they looked into the many attractive shop displays. I wondered if we looked like a couple on a casual shopping trip together as well as I walked with my hand in Ace’s. Seeing our reflection in the shop dis

3…2…1! The commercial that held so much significance for the future of our company and the future of our relationship finally appeared on the large screen above us. The opening just felt so surreal and beautiful that I couldn’t bear to look away. “Rina…” Ace called my name and then I felt a tug on my hand.“Y-Yes?” I said questioningly as I tired my best to tear my eyes away from the commercial to look at him.“You’re supposed to be observing the audience and not watching your own commercial…” Ace pointed out quite correctly.“Oh…you’re right…” I murmured. Ace just shook his head at me before he grinned. He turned away before I could say anything more to him and I realized that he was already doing his job. That meant that I had to do the same thing. Quickly, I began looking around at the various faces in the crowd of people that were walking by. It felt amazing enough that some of them looked up to take a glance at our commercial on the screen. My heartbeat so fast and hard in my

If only we could spend all our days working together like this, life wouldn’t feel so bad. I had to admit that work had become so much more fun and challenging at the same time since I started working in Ace’s team and also as his personal secretary. Although our relationship came with a lot of ups and downs, I couldn’t deny that everything made me grow so much more as a person. The joy that blossomed in my chest suddenly felt very bittersweet when I thought that there was no way that days like these could last between us. It was an unfortunately yet seemingly unescapable fact that these days were coming to an end. Our next stop was only a couple of minutes’ walk from where we were previously. Ace held my hand all the way until we arrived there. I didn’t miss how he paid extra attention to me when we were crossing the road together even if all the cars were at a stop at the red light and there were so many other people crossing the road with us. All the small things that he did for m

“No, thanks. I just dropped by because I wanted to experience the buzz and also to congratulate you on the release of your commercial. I’ll pass for today. I don’t think Karina would like me disturbing your dinner date,” Elizabeth turned down Ace’s invitation with a laugh and a dismissive wave of her hand. I blinked rapidly in surprise as I wondered if I had misheard what she had just said. It felt like the perfect opportunity for her to spend more time with Ace, but she didn’t hesitate to turn down his invitation at all. The more I tried to understand what she was thinking or what she really wanted, the more I got confused. Regardless of the reason behind her decision to turn Ace’s invitation down, I was thankful that she would be leaving us alone soon. “Thank you for coming,” Ace thanked her with a smile. “I’m not exactly doing this for you. Enjoy your date!” she replied perhaps a little too cheerfully. Just like that, Elizabeth Chase walked away while waving a hand over her hea

“Yes. There’s really nothing. Although I think it’s a little cute that you’re worried but Jeremy and me is just too far of a stretch,” I replied as I waved my hands in front of my face and laughed lightly. Putting aside the issue between Jeremy and me, I felt like if there was a relationship more suspicious and more realistic, it would be the relationship between Ace and Elizabeth. I stared at Ace’s face and figured out that there was nothing for me to learn there. Whatever was going on, Ace wasn’t going to easily give it away. The more times I ran into Elizabeth, the more the way she acted confused me to the point where I didn’t know what to make of it. “You’re right. Let’s head out,” Ace said to bring that little off-track conversation to a close. “It’s really been a while since I went out drinking…” I murmured. “You better hold your drink…” Ace warned as he shot a glare my way. Now that I thought about it, the last time that I really went out drinking was the night that I ende
