Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss 18+ novel Chapter 315

I sighed when I realized that there was no way that no one would see us together. The security guard was basically staring into the car when Ace rolled down the window. I had no idea why he had to do that when the guard could already tell that it was Ace. I mean, he’s the CEO for crying out loud.

“Good morning!” Ace greeted the guard loudly.

The flustered reaction of the guard told me that it wasn’t a daily occurrence that Ace would do this. I cursed him silently in my mind as I desperately turned the other way.

“G-Good morning, Sir…” the guard replied in a shaky voice.

“I’m just here with my secretary because we’re supposed to always be together. It’s nothing unusual, ok?” Ace said in a teasing tone.

“Y-Yes, Sir…” the guard stammered.

I literally began pulling at my hair in my frustration. I wondered but then decided that I didn’t even want to know why Ace did something like what he just did. When the car moved forward again, I turned around and glared at him.

“Relax…” Ace whispered before he started chuckling to himself.

“I truly hope that no trouble comes from this,” I muttered in a low whisper.

“I like coming to the office together like this in the morning. We should head back together too. Carpool is supposed to be good for the environment, right?” he said jokingly.

I wanted to shrivel up and die inside all the while I waited for him to park the car at his allocated spot.

“It’s bad enough that we came here together. Let’s do things like usual, ok?” I suggested almost pleadingly.

“I think work will be busy again and we’ll have less time together. Plus, I enjoy spending time with you in the car,” Ace said carefreely.

“I still don’t think that it’s a good idea. It will be bad if people find out that we’re dating,” I argued desperately.

“They’ll find out eventually. You don’t plan to keep our relationship a secret from the world forever, do you?” he asked as his hazel eyes glared at me.

Of course, that wasn’t my intention at all. However, as long as he’s my boss and I’m his personal secretary that was the way that things had to be between us. If I could choose, I wouldn’t want things to be this way, but it wasn’t like I had much say in the matter.

“I didn’t mean it like that,” I replied weakly.

“Thank you, Boss…” I thanked him with a bright smile.

Ace just nodded and that slight issue between us was thankfully dropped. It didn’t seem like anyone paid us any extra attention when we entered the office together. Although I tried to keep a slightly wider distance between Ace and myself compared to normal. It may have been the case that everyone in the company had gotten used to seeing us together.

“Don’t look so worried. Let’s keep it together,” Ace said before he gave me an encouraging smile.

“Yes, we have to…” I replied readily in agreement.

It probably took too long for me to realize that he was putting in extra effort to take care of me in his own way. Although he had already apologized properly last night, Ace might be just as worried as I was that what happened might have put an unnecessary strain on our relationship. Maybe this was his way of trying to make up with me. That or I was just overthinking things.

“Ace, you’re here!” Julianna exclaimed as she shot up from her seat.
