Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss 18+ novel Chapter 301

“I see…” I murmured.

There’s just got to be something that I can do. Something more than just sitting around and waiting…

“Where are you going?” Jeremy asked.

Without knowing where I was going, I had already stood up from my seat. I felt so useless just sitting there in the war room without knowing how to help the team. Maybe Ace felt the same way and that was why he got up and left.

“I’m not sure…” I mumbled an honest reply.

I had no idea where Ace went but if I went after him now, I might be able to catch up to him. With that thought in mind, I headed for the door. Even if I couldn’t find Ace, taking a walk outside or going out to observe the audiences might help. Luck wasn’t on my side, and I couldn’t find Ace on the floor that we were on anymore. After heaving a sigh, I was forced to admit that I had probably lost him, and he had probably headed to another floor in the building. Either that, or he headed out of the office completely.

My hand clutched at my phone tightly as I hesitated about giving Ace a call. I knew that he was working and thinking hard now on how to crack the problem at hand and that made me hesitate to disturb him. Without knowing it, I had started pacing up and down the hallway as my mind raced to think of what I should do. My hand still held my phone tightly and I continued to hesitate about getting in touch with Ace.

I didn’t want to disturb him…but…

With a resigned sigh, I gave myself the excuse that it probably wouldn’t disturb him too much if I just sent him a text instead of calling him. If he didn’t want to see me then he can just ignore my text. Before I lost my nerve, I started typing a short text on my phone before sending it to him.

‘Where are you?’

After spending a while staring at my phone screen and waiting for Ace’s reply, I realized that an immediate reply was probably unrealistic. Ace was probably busy and I should find something productive to do while I waited for the arrival of his reply, whenever that may be. I stared out of the window and looked down below at the busy road where cars were driving by and many people were walking along the footpath.

Suddenly, my phone started vibrating in my hand and I looked down to see that I had received a text message from Ace. I wondered if he had already returned to the war room after taking his walk to think. It seemed likely enough that that would be the case. Surprisingly, the message that I got from Ace exactly mirrored my own.

‘Where are you?’

I quickly typed up a reply and sent it to him. After that, I clutched at my phone while I stared at the screen as I waited eagerly for his reply. Even though I knew that there was a high chance that Ace would reply immediately, I was still surprised when my phone vibrated and the text that he sent to me was displayed on the screen.
