All Chapters of Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss: Chapter 241 - Chapter 250

“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

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

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

“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

“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
