Business Birthday

“Do you throw a big birthday party like this every year?” I asked.“Not quite but very similar. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I enjoy throwing these parties, but it is partly required for business. It’s also a way to connect with our clients and the public scene. We are a media company, so we need to stay in the spotlight as well. It would be bad if they forgot about me and the company,” Ace explained.“I see…” I murmured.I guess he was right about that. Even from where I was standing next to Ace, I could already spot a few executives from our client companies that I recognized walking by. The hall where the party was being held was very large and there was a large stage right in front where a band was currently playing. It truly was a fancy birthday party, and I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do. “My father always made sure to throw these kinds of parties. If you’re interested, I can invite you to his birthday party as well. Trust me, it is much fancier with many more guest

Festivities

“Of course, it is. Come this way…” Ace said.I felt the warmth of his comforting touch on my elbow as he helped support me. The walk felt so long but we finally reached the round table where I could take a seat. “If you need to greet your guests, you can go ahead. Just leave me here, I’ll be fine…” I said with a smile. “No need. I’m pretty much done with that. Plus, the main part of the event is about to start,” Ace said as he sat down next to me.The seats at the round table were still empty and there was no one else there except for us. However, it didn’t take long for the other people to arrive at the table. Although I should have expected it, I was still surprised when Ace’s father appeared and took a seat at the same round table that we were. A few other people that seemed to be his father’s VVIP guests joined him at the table. “This is Karina, my personal secretary,” Ace introduced me smoothly. “It is a pleasure to meet you…” I replied as politely as I could.Thankfully, the

Shocking Annoucement

I had no idea if Ace knew about this but glancing over at him told me that he wasn’t at all flustered by this. Suddenly, there was a blinding light that made me wince and squeeze my eyes shut for a moment before I attempted to open them again. The spotlight felt blinding as it focused on Ace. I watched as Ace calmly got up from his seat amid the loud cheering and applaud from the crowd before he made his way over to the stage. I guess a birthday party isn’t complete if the birthday boy doesn’t get up on stage to say a few words. Ace made his way to the podium while the cheering in the venue did not subside at all. It made me feel like Ace was some kind of celebrity and these people were his avid followers and supporters. Maybe that was the case, I had no idea.Perhaps, like me, there were many people who truly admired his work and achievements. I wondered what Ace was going to say now that he had everyone’s attention and now that he has taken the stage. Maybe he would politely thank

Unacceptable

Did she come here just to watch him announce his retirement from the company? That wasn’t the biggest question that was on my mind at that moment. My eyes returned to Ace who had bowed apologetically on the stage before smiling a little regretfully at his guests. No matter what, I couldn’t wrap my mind around his sudden announcement.Why would Ace quit all of a sudden like this? He clearly did not discuss this with anyone. Even his father didn’t know about it, and I did not know anything about it either. He never talked to me about this. A sickening knot formed in the pit of my stomach when I realized that the only person who he might have spoken to about this matter must have been Elizabeth. Why? Why? Why?!Before I knew it, I was out of my seat, and I quickly made my way to the side of the stage with my wish to catch Ace the moment that he got off the stage. I didn’t think that Ace needed to wrap up his speech because it seemed like he had said all that he needed to say. I made

Abandoned Plan

Perhaps, it would be less about the future of the company but more about our future together if he even through that we still had a chance of being together.“I’m not running away. I’m just doing things my way and I ask that you stick to your promise and respect that,” Ace stated calmly.“Why didn’t you consult me about this before? Why did you have to get up there and announce it at a large event like this? Do you know how much money I put in to put this event together? This whole party was supposed to celebrate your success so far as the CEO and look what you’ve done!” the chairman thundered as his eyes glared at his own son.Ace did not show any hint of regret or remorse regarding his action and that was probably because he simply did not regret it. I had no idea why Ace thought that his action was the right one.What made him so confident or was he just going to run away from his responsibilities again just as his father had just accused him of?“I didn’t think that there was a ne

Pleading for Answers

“If that’s what you want,” he replied like it was all up to me. The ride to his place was silent and extremely awkward. The atmosphere felt cold and full of tension. The endless list of questions that I wanted to ask Ace ran round and round in my head nonstop; however, I didn’t know where to start. Most of the questions about his decision to step down from his position were pretty much asked already by his father. I wondered if he would give me different answers than the ones that he had already given his father. “We’re finally back home…” Ace said while sounding tired and bored. I wished that he would volunteer me with some answers and information but that didn’t seem to be the case. If anything, Ace looked sleepy and ready for bed. It must have been a long day for him; however, he was about to find out that the day was far from over for him yet as far as I was concerned. The driver drove away after dropping us off in front of Ace’s building. “Come along,” Ace told me casually as

His Answers

“So, what do you want to know?” Ace asked like he couldn’t wait to get this over and done with. I wanted to roll my eyes at him, but I still tried to be positive about it all. If he wanted to get this over and done with, then maybe he would answer my questions quickly and directly. “Why did you announce that you’re going to step down from your position as CEO? Why are you quitting all of a sudden like this?” I asked as I stared at his emotionless face. “I don’t like this job. You should know that already. This job isn’t for me, and I’m not cut out to do it for life. I never took this job with the thought that I’ll be doing it until the day that I get old and retire,” he replied like it was supposed to be obvious. “But why now? Why have you decided to quit now? Don’t you have to grow the company like you promised your father?” I asked hurriedly. I was speaking faster and faster as my frustrations started getting the better of me. Ace was right and I did know that he wasn’t particu

Painful Interrogations

The more he tried to evade my questions, the more I got curious about what he was hiding from me. Elizabeth is the CEO of Chase Creatives, and they are one of our biggest rivals in the industry. I had no idea what kind of work Ace could have to do with someone like her. “What kind of work would you have to do that would require you to collaborate with one of our biggest competitors?” I asked in pure wonder. “There are things that I can’t tell you, Rina. I can’t tell you this even if you’re my girlfriend and I also can’t tell you as my secretary. Let’s just leave it here for today, ok?” Ace said as a troubled frown formed between his brows. “You never tell me anything…” I muttered like a sulking child. “There’s a right time for everything, Rina. I’ll tell you when the timing is right. If there’s nothing else, let’s take a shower and head to bed,” Ace said as he brought our conversation to a close. I would usually let things slide; however, I felt like I was far from done with this

Rest in Peace, Trust

“I met Elizabeth that day,” Ace replied without betraying any emotions. My heart just sank at his words although I should have felt a little better for the fact that he still told me the truth. Ace didn’t show any signs that he was going to explain himself or his actions to me and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to hear any more truth from him. Suddenly, it felt like my frail little heart wouldn’t be able to take it after all. “Why did you meet up with her? You told me that something urgent happened at work. Why did you lie?” I asked as I tried to suppress the tears that were threatening to well up in my eyes. “I wasn’t lying. Something did happen at work,” Ace replied flatly. “Why didn’t you just tell me that you were going to meet up with her?” I asked as I glared at him. “Rina, if you’re going to get all emotional about this, I suggest that you stop this and go to bed,” Ace advised sternly. “No! I cannot and I will not stop until I learn the truth about what is going on. Why did yo

Faith

“Would you believe anything that I say at this point?” Ace asked as he cocked his head a little to the side to observe my reactions. I didn’t have any answer for him because I wasn’t sure about that myself. Ace’s intense gaze continued to rest on my face while I chewed on the inside of my lower lip as I hesitated. “I’m willing to listen. So please, tell me what is really going on…” I replied after trying my best to pick the right words. “It’s still true. Elizabeth and I may have a very complicated relationship but we are not involved with each other in the way that you think. I’ve met her many times, but it was all for work,” he replied to my earlier question calmly. “And you can’t tell me what work you two have been working on, right?” I asked although I already knew the answer. Ace just nodded his head at me once and that was his response to my question. Now it was up to me whether or not I would believe him. Ace didn’t say anything else but his eyes were still on my face while
