Semua Bab Married To The Casanova CEO: Bab 61 - Bab 70

~~ Ace's POV ~~Reviewing proposals in my computer, my mind frequently drifted away as I fervently glanced at my cell phone, but nothing came. Despite knowing the consequences of what I was doing, I was still utterly curious at her reaction. If not, reactions.I was obviously making a bigger fool out of myself but with the outcome of events, it was my fault to begin with. So, the only thing that crossed my mind all day was to make amendments for my mistakes. When the call I had been expecting throughout that day finally came, I gripped my cell phone with so much anticipation. “Sir. Ace, it's all done.” Mrs. Lucia expressed, as if suspecting my inquisitiveness and I just nodded.Relief washed over me as I exhaled sharply. The first step was done and only awaited confirmation which I could no longer pretend to wait. I wrapped up work as I glanced up at my personal assistant to see her staring intently at me, only to lower her eyes when mine got caught with hers.She was probably wonde

~~ Brittany's POV ~~Their gaze averted to me at once and I stepped out of the dining area. I wanted the ongoing drama to last a little longer after overhearing their loud voices from the kitchen. But it ended earlier than I expected. It was quite satisfying to see someone else stand against Elvira and her arrogance.I was forced to butt in when Elvira almost overstepped her boundary as I approached them with a straight face, looking like I wasn't the one smiling earlier when Charlotte gave Elvira what she deserved."And what makes you think I'm unwelcomed here? The last time I checked, this isn't your house." Elvira replied me with a masked expression. It was obvious she was trying to suppress her anger, replacing it with a small smile as she dropped her hand and folded her arms against her chest."You should get your facts right. I might not be a direct owner but you wouldn't want me to state how much rights I have around here, higher than you can ever imagine. Why? Because I'm the

~~ Ace's POV ~~"Welcome back, Sir. I hope you had a wonderful business trip." My secretary collected my briefcase as I stepped into the elevator and she followed suit. I didn't say a word as I fixed my two hands into my pockets. Soon, the elevator binged open, and I walked out, ignoring all the worker's greetings on the way. Finally, I reached my office and my suit jacket was the first thing I pulled off, hanging it on its stand. As my secretary dropped my briefcase beside my desk, I sat on my swivel chair, resting back on my seat."Get me a cup of coffee," I muttered, shutting my eyes.I heard the door open and close but after a few seconds, it opened again. Forcefully this time."I'm sorry, Miss, but you have to book an appointment first, and you can't just barge in like that." My secretary's annoyed voice made me open my eyes to see yet an unfamiliar person in the office.The person whom I guessed forcefully opened the door was a lady but I could barely see her face. My brows fu

~~ Ace's POV ~~A few minutes past seven and I'm seated at the far right end of the restaurant, staring through the transparent wall at the city's glow outside. My index finger tapped quietly on the table as I waited patiently for Brittany's arrival. Meeting her for dinner on such a cozy evening was impromptu. Therefore, it made me a little hesitant when she called. To her, it was just for business talks and the like, but to me, it was also perfect for a date. Which was why I was going to make tonight blissful and in the process, bring back old, cherishing memories.After what seemed like a lot of time had passed, I eventually flashed the entrance a sparing glance to see her dazzling and elegant form walking towards me. My heart skipped a beat at the sight of her approaching figure, and the feeling of nostalgia hit me. It felt as though the rampant emotions that I had managed to bury deep inside me came rushing back at once, overwhelming me with nothing more than guilt from my terrib

~~ Brittany's POV ~~"Take the files to the Operations department. Tell them to work on it and send it back to my desk before the weekend.""Also make sure the head of the department briefs you on all you need to know about the projects at hand against our next business trip. Okay?" "Clarissa?" I lifted my gaze from the computer when I didn't hear any reply. Clarissa was standing in front of me, staring back at me yet her mind seemed to have wandered away. My brows furrowed and I knocked on my desk thrice as I called out loudly, "Clarissa!""Yes ma'am." She answered hurriedly, looking taken aback. "I'm sorry for getting lost in my thoughts." Her apology followed next as the realization of what she had just done hit her.I took off my spectacles and sighed, a look of concern replacing the one of surprise on my face. Initially, I was surprised at her action. But at the same time, this was the first time she was doing this in my presence since she started working for me. So, I believed
