"That's all enough boys, let's go to the conference hall now for lunch" one of the seniors announced while Ace and his friends just turned to stare at him with their questioning look.
"It's the president's birthday today and we have a company celebration" the senior continued while looking at the five interns.
The five boys nodded in understanding while Ace's friends turned to him which he just responded with a shrug.
Ace knew from Blaze its Breiy's birthday today but he was not aware of the celebration in the company, Blaze never mentioned anything last night.
The five interns together with their seniors went to the conference hall to join the celebration of the company president's b
"The youngest heir is here!" Kai exclaimed excitedly but made Ace and his friends freeze on their seats with their gaping wide eyes. "Blaze Vaughn is here" another senior mumbled in disbelief. Ace followed Blaze with his gaping eyes while he was walking beside his brother. Blaze looked so handsome and manly in his white long sleeve shirt and khaki pants. His two hands are inside his pocket while he is looking straight ahead. Hushed murmurs continued while the family walked to their intended table while Ace kept on watching him. He looked so dashing even with his simple clothes. "The youngest Vaughn is indeed so handsome"
Being a great hostess, Bella stands in the middle of the room while she looks around to check if everyone has their food or has started to eat before she walks back to their table where Blaze is already sitting with some of VMI's executives. Lander and Breiy have also gone back and joined everyone to have their lunch while Blaze is quietly seated beside his mother. "You will still be back at the hospital Blaze?" Bella softly asked while the men were already engrossed in their conversation. "No mom, I arranged my schedule to be here" Blaze responded with his calm tone while ignoring the curious and admiring look around him. Employees cannot get enough of the youngest heir who doesn't usually atten
Ace gaped for a long moment while everyone was waiting for his response. "Ahm...black panther is great to maneuver sir and I ahm...I'm parking outside of... ahm... VMI" Ace stammered while he tried to explain. Lander and Breiy looked at Ace incredulously while Bella turned her sympathetic look at the boy. They are aware of Ace's struggle to stand on his own and to prove himself that he can be successful without being associated with their family. Their family, especially Blaze, did their best to protect Ace's pride but it seemed to be still a struggle for Ace. "You will park inside the company Ace...you don't need to hide anything" Lander turned to Ace and seriously demanded. Lander understands Ace's dilemma
Their gazes locked while ignoring everyone around them, Blaze's eyes are challenging while Ace's eyes are pleading. "Ace... Blaze, you still want some wine" Breiy suddenly interrupted their silent staring battle before Breiy subtly glared at Blaze in warning, knowing fully well what is happening between the two. "Ahmum...No thanks, ahm... I will still be working..." Ace replied with his stammering voice after he cleared his throat and gulped hard to remove the lump. Blaze just casually turned away from Ace and drank the remaining wine in the glass. "I want more brother" Blaze sweetly asked his brother for more who just subtly glared at him but Blaze is ignoring Breiy's subtle warning.
Everyone's jaws were dropped low, intently staring at the youngest Vaughn who is looking at Kate with his icy cold gaze and clenched jaw. The youngest heir looked dangerously scary. Those who near seem to be nailed on their feet while Kate is gaping at him with fear. "Blaze..." Ace called softly to distract him from his anger but his cold eyes did not leave Kate. "Who are you to insult me? Who are you to insult my man? I've been moving mountains to protect his pride. You don't have any right to insult him. You don't know him" Blaze asked with his cold tone. Kate continued to gape at him. "Ace is a gold digger and who are you? A gold digger bitch?" Blaze continued as his sharp look pierce the girl.
Everyone was waiting for the woman to continue. The family was caught off guard and they remained speechless while staring at her. "I am Tess from the janitorial department, I used to work at the human resource department but I have done something unforgivable. That's why I'm here cleaning all the toilets in VMI" the woman continued with her timid tone while everyone was curiously listening to her. Those who knew her instantly became teary, especially her previous colleagues. "I used to accept bribes from the intern's parents to have extra money. I will serve a slot for interns for a specific amount even if they didn't qualify. I did it several times but unluckily I was caught...and believe me, I truly regretted it... but it's too late, I have already caused trouble to the company" Tess continued with her teary eyes w
"Isn't it time to go home?" Blaze asked for the nth time while comfortably seated on the couch of the engineering department. He chose to wait for Ace to finish his work after the celebration of Breiy's birthday. The five interns rolled their eyes at the very persistent boy since he sat down on the couch like he was just at home. The engineers and the other personnel of the department are all cautious around the youngest Vaughn who chooses to stay in their office instead of his father or his brother. "Not yet, thirty minutes more..." Ace told him patiently. "It's only ten minutes passed?" Blaze incredulously exclaimed when he realized the last time he asked. Ace just chuckled at the cuteness of his boyfriend
"Blaze..." Ace whispered as he continued to gape in disbelief. "This is your gym, your man cave, and my mini library and study area. This is the whole second floor with your own space now" Blaze excitedly presented his surprise to Ace who continued to gape around. "Come on below" Blaze pulled Ace down the stairs and dragged him to the hallway and entered a huge room. "This is our master's bedroom with our huge walk-in closet and huge bathroom with a jacuzzi" Blaze continued to talk while they walked around the room to show Ace what he was talking about. "We already have three guest rooms, a huge kit
