Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss 18+ novel Chapter 292

“Young people these days don’t have the stamina…” a man muttered before laughing.

“Don’t say that. It only makes you sound like a dinosaur…” Julianna snapped and then began laughing loudly.

“I’ll take her back first. Thank you everyone for your hard work. I’ll see you tomorrow at the office,” Ace said a little sternly.

“Yes, Sir!” Julianna replied with a salute.

Ace basically dragged me after him out of there after exchanging some polite words of farewell with the team members. I felt slightly better to get away from the crowd of people but being alone with Ace in the car made me anxious in a different way.

“Are you sure that you don’t want to stay? I’m really fine so we don’t have to leave so early…” I mumbled.

The atmosphere felt so tense now that we were alone in his car and Ace’s silence did not help with the overall mood at all. I wondered what he was thinking about before I cursed myself silently inside my head for crying like that and ruining the mood for the entire night.

“I only came here because you wanted to. If you hadn’t wanted to come, I wouldn’t be here…” Ace replied as he turned to stare my way.

“I’m sorry…” I mumbled apologetically.

“Stop apologizing. Honestly, I don’t even know what you’re sorry for,” Ace said before he started the car and began driving.

Although his words were quite blunt, his tone was caring and kind. The way he didn’t seem to mind not attending the party until the end only made me even more guilty. It felt like the only way that I would be able to feel better about myself was to confess to him about how I honestly felt.

“Ace…” I called his name softly to get his attention.

“Yes?” he replied before waiting for me to go on.

I was about to start my honest confession with the words ‘I’m sorry’ but managed to bite down on my tongue in time before those words would slip pass my lips. Ace would have hated it if I had apologized again and I was thankful for catching those words on time. I took in a deep breath before letting it out to refresh my mind before aiming for a fresh start.

“You should take a bath, so you’ll feel better. It’s been a long day so I’m sure that you’re tired,” Ace said understandingly.

“Yeah…” I mumbled.

Instead of taking a long baht like Ace had suggested, I decided to take a quick shower instead. Ace pretty much left me alone and I used that time that he had given me to think about him. Ace had not said anything concerning my worries but I could tell that he was acting caring in his very own way. Time was really flying by and along with it, my impatience had started to grow. I stepped out of the shower and dried my hair before my thoughts would turn into depressing ones.

“That was fast…” Ace said when he spotted me.

Ace’s dark hair was damp, and it was clear that he had just stepped out of his own shower not so long ago.
