I didn’t even bother to reply to him as I tried to control the anger rapidly growing in my chest. To my slight disappointment, my mood had not improved at all even when we arrived back at his place. There were so many things going on at work and I also knew that it probably wasn’t the right time for me to confront Ace about the disaster that unfolded at dinner; however, I felt like my entire chest might burst if I continued to keep it in. Just when I made the decision to talk to Ace about it and to tell him honestly how I felt, Ace’s phone started ringing. It was quite late in the evening, and I had no idea who could be calling. Before I knew it, I had started wishing that the one on the other end of the land wasn’t Elizabeth. Ace took our his phone and answered the call in one swift motion. The stern look on his face told me that the call wasn’t from Elizabeth or anyone looking for small talk in the evening to pass the time. “Tell me about it…” Ace said in a serious tone.Without l

“Can you just not meet her?” I blurted out asking before I could hold myself back. It wasn’t like I regretted my words. In fact, I was thankful for that extra burst of courage that made me say those words out loud. Life would be so much better for me and for us if he could just stop meeting her or contacting her in any way. “I can’t do that. She’s not that bad of a person when you really get to know her. She’s just…she can be mean and very calculating with her words,” Ace said with a little chuckle. “You seem to adore her…and everything that she does,” I muttered darkly. “Not at all. I give her a hard time too whenever she steps over the line. However, I figured that today would be a good practice for you. One day, you’ll be able to deal with people like her so effortlessly,” Ace said before flashing me a confident smile. I shook my head in disagreement. If this was the way that he wanted me to learn and improve myself, then I would prefer that I stayed the way that I was before.

We entered the war room to find Julianna and her entire team there. From the dark circles and large bags under their eyes and the fact that everyone was still wearing the same outfit, it was clear that they really did spend the entire night in the war room. I was impressed at their dedication but more impressed at how high their team morale seemed to be despite all they had gone through. “You sound excited…” Ace commented without much emotion.Julianna turned with a smile on hers lips before she started giggling a little evilly to herself. Something good must have happened for her to have a reaction like that. She looked like she was the verge of exploding to tell us the good news. “Did something good happen?” I asked curiously. “I don’t know but I really hope so,” she replied before winking at me. “What does that mean?” I asked as my curiosity started taking over. “She probably did something and is still waiting for the numbers to roll in,” Ace replied without any excitement.I

This was probably a part of what he had been trying desperately to hide from me. Even after seeing it, I still haven’t discovered what he planned to do except to perhaps have a building constructed. I didn’t even know where the building was going to be located or what it was going to be used for. Suddenly, I felt slightly nauseous, and my temples started to throb as I struggled to deal with the void of emptiness that seemed to have taken shape inside of me. Although I had been trying desperately to deal with it silently and telling myself to be patient, I still hated the fact that Ace was keeping secrets from me. The worst part out of all of this was the piercing painful feeling that sprang up in my chest when I thought that Ace did not want to share his future with me. It felt like I was an outsider, and he was treating me like one. Not telling me anything and always keeping me in the dark. I stared down at the blueprint again as I wondered if the future that Ace envisioned for him

I felt a little bad for her, but I had to admit that Ace’s suggestion was probably the right one. “Everything will be fine here now, thanks to you…” I whispered to her softly. “Fine. I’ll go home. Let’s go home, you guys!” Julianna mumbled before turning to yell at her team members. “I’ll see you all tomorrow…” I said before I thanked everyone who was leaving. Since the results of Julianna’s work turned out much better than we could have imagined, there honestly wasn’t much work to do for the rest of the day but to monitor the campaign. If anything, the people in the war room spent time celebrating their little victory by going out to get coffee or softly chatting to one another while doing some work. Everything was so peaceful until my phone suddenly vibrated on the table. I quickly grabbed it when I saw the notification that I had just received a new message. My heart skipped a beat when I saw that the message was from Ace. I glanced over to see him working diligently on his la
