Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss 18+

The Easier Choice

“Ace…please, let’s stop…” I pleaded desperately.

“Stop, what?” he asked with some interest.

I bit down on my lower lip in frustration before I glared at him as if doing that would send some

telepathic message across to him. My real frustration stemmed from the fact that I was certain that he

knew what I was referring to but had chosen to act all innocent.

“We can’t do it here. There are cameras…everywhere…” I pointed out without backing down.

Ace stared at me for a moment in silence and that made me feel so open and vulnerable in front of him.

I wished that he would stop staring at me like he could see through me even if that was how it was

really was. It was bad enough that we were this close and already on camera.

“Do what?” Ace asked before the corners of his beautiful lips curved upwards into slightly teasing

smirk.

Slowly, his fingertips stroked their ways down my arm, and I wanted to let out a moan at the fleeting yet

pleasurable sensation. He was teasing me mercilessly and I hated myself for responding so much to

his playful seduction.

“Tell me, what do you have in mind, Rina?” he asked.

His hands slid down my arms slowly before he quickly captured and held onto my wrists. My mind went

completely blank for a moment, and I wasn’t sure what to do.

“Let’s wait till we get home…or…we can go to your office…” I mumbled.

As soon as those words left my lips, I wanted to die from embarrassment. However, I couldn’t see

another way out. I knew that I should push him away, but it seemed impossible. If Ace really started

seducing me, there was a very high chance that we’ll end up going all the way. I closed my eyes and let

out a sigh. To my surprise, the slight pressure of his hands around my wrists disappeared and then I

felt Ace moving away from me.

When I opened my eyes, Ace was standing at a respectable distance from me with an unbelievably

calm expression on his face. To say that I was surprised would be an understatement. However, I did

feel very relieved that he seemed to have heard my desperate plead for him to stop.

“Are you done with your business down here?” Ace asked.

“Yes…I am…” I replied in a murmur as my mind struggled to take in this sudden change.

“Then follow me,” Ace instructed.

I watched as he turned on his heels and walked toward the exit of the archive. My legs started following

him without a moment of hesitation. Suddenly, the archive felt so suffocating and I couldn’t bear to be

there any longer. My heart still beat wildly in my chest as I pressed my hand against it and let out

another sigh.

“Why did you come down here?” I asked curiously when I caught up to his side.

It felt too awkward to be walking along with him in silence, so I put in all the effort that I had to start a

conversation.

“No reason. I was just looking for you and someone in the lobby told me that they saw you heading

down here,” Ace replied with a casual shrug of his shoulders.

“Why were you looking for me?” I questioned.

“We should go home together. I managed to wrap things up decently early so I thought we could go

home together. I did send you a text,” he replied.

“But I thought we already agreed that we’ll head back separately,” I pointed out.

I was too focused on him to realize that we were in fact heading in the direction of the parking building.

“Should we head back to the archive?” Ace asked mercilessly.

He shot me a look that managed to hush me up. I looked around nervously to see if anyone saw us

together.

“Stop panicking. I think you should start getting used to this,” he advised. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“You mean…” I murmured as I tried my best to keep up with his pace.

“People at work and everywhere else seeing us together,” he pointed out.

I didn’t think that I would have a problem with people seeing us together if it wouldn’t lead to any

trouble. However, with how things currently are, there was no guarantee when the consequences of our

actions would end up exploding in our faces.

“I just don’t want to stir up trouble,” I argued my case.

“Don’t worry. If anything happens, I’ll handle it…” Ace replied.

With that, he pulled opened the car door and urged for me to get in with a smooth gesture of his hand.

Getting into his car or heading back to the archive wasn’t exactly a difficult choice to make. I let out a

sigh as I lowered myself into Ace’s car.

“So, tell me, what were you doing down there in the archive? Were you looking for something?” Ace

asked once we were on the road.

I couldn’t get the suggestive look that the guard gave me when he saw me in Ace’s car out of my head.

If our relationship gets out to the public, I could be sure that that guard was the source of all the

rumors. Ace didn’t seem bothered and I wondered if he placed too much trust on that man.

“Umm…yeah. I go down there sometimes to look for inspirations, I guess…” I replied vaguely.

“I bet no one really goes down there. I don’t even remember the last time I was down there,” Ace said.

“I didn’t even know that the place existed until Jeremy showed me,” I said as I tried to lighten the

atmosphere around us.

“When did he show you?” he asked.

“When we were working on Project Alpha together and we were struggling to come up with a way to

make the commercial more emotionally engaging. He suggested that we go down there to look for

some inspiration,” I told Ace honestly.

“It must have been useful,” Ace replied before flashing me a smile that I thought was very charming.
