Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss 18+

Extra Care

I sighed when I realized that there was no way that no one would see us together. The security guard

was basically staring into the car when Ace rolled down the window. I had no idea why he had to do

that when the guard could already tell that it was Ace. I mean, he’s the CEO for crying out loud.

“Good morning!” Ace greeted the guard loudly.

The flustered reaction of the guard told me that it wasn’t a daily occurrence that Ace would do this. I

cursed him silently in my mind as I desperately turned the other way.

“G-Good morning, Sir…” the guard replied in a shaky voice.

“I’m just here with my secretary because we’re supposed to always be together. It’s nothing unusual,

ok?” Ace said in a teasing tone.

“Y-Yes, Sir…” the guard stammered.

I literally began pulling at my hair in my frustration. I wondered but then decided that I didn’t even want

to know why Ace did something like what he just did. When the car moved forward again, I turned

around and glared at him.

“Relax…” Ace whispered before he started chuckling to himself.

“I truly hope that no trouble comes from this,” I muttered in a low whisper.

“I like coming to the office together like this in the morning. We should head back together too. Carpool

is supposed to be good for the environment, right?” he said jokingly.

I wanted to shrivel up and die inside all the while I waited for him to park the car at his allocated spot.

“It’s bad enough that we came here together. Let’s do things like usual, ok?” I suggested almost

pleadingly.

“I think work will be busy again and we’ll have less time together. Plus, I enjoy spending time with you

in the car,” Ace said carefreely.

“I still don’t think that it’s a good idea. It will be bad if people find out that we’re dating,” I argued

desperately.

“They’ll find out eventually. You don’t plan to keep our relationship a secret from the world forever, do

you?” he asked as his hazel eyes glared at me. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Of course, that wasn’t my intention at all. However, as long as he’s my boss and I’m his personal

secretary that was the way that things had to be between us. If I could choose, I wouldn’t want things to

be this way, but it wasn’t like I had much say in the matter.

“I didn’t mean it like that,” I replied weakly.

“I’ve been thinking about it for a while now. After I resign from my post here as the CEO, I’m thinking of

making our relationship public. Well, I’m not planning to post it on a large billboard on the highway or

anything like that, but we shouldn’t keep it a secret anymore,” Ace said before he smiled at me sweetly.

I had no idea that he had been thinking about that given how busy and critical Project Alpha has been.

It did make sense that when he is no longer my boss, we could make our relationship public. Hopefully,

by then, his father will be fine with it as well. I didn’t like the fact that we had to keep our relationship a

secret; however, I wasn’t sure what I thought about our relationship being so public either. Regardless,

at that moment, I was just grateful and happy that Ace thought about me and that he thought about us.

“Thank you, for thinking about us. Let’s…think about that when the time comes…” I replied with a small

smile to hide my nervousness.

My heart started racing in my chest for no good reason at all as Ace kept on staring at my face as if

gauging my reaction to his words. I felt a warm blush creep up my cheek as he kept his eyes on me

and in the end, I had to look away from him.

“Let’s…go to work. I don’t want us to be late,” I told him as I reached to open the car door.

There wasn’t that much time left for Ace here as the CEO; however, up until the last moment of his time

here, I wanted to keep our relationship a secret. Recalling the uproar and the chaos that occurred the

last time that there were rumors of us dating already gave me a headache. Going through something

like that again would be a real-life nightmare for me and I wanted to avoid that at all costs.

“Ace…” I called his name softly when we were both out of the car.

“What is it?” he asked.

“Let’s try to be careful. There’s not a lot of time left, and we’ve been trying so hard to keep our secret…

so…let’s be careful until the very end, ok?” I suggested hopefully.

“I don’t see why it would make much of a difference at this point but if that’s what you want then I’ll go

along with it,” Ace finally agreed.

“Thank you, Boss…” I thanked him with a bright smile.

Ace just nodded and that slight issue between us was thankfully dropped. It didn’t seem like anyone

paid us any extra attention when we entered the office together. Although I tried to keep a slightly wider

distance between Ace and myself compared to normal. It may have been the case that everyone in the

company had gotten used to seeing us together.

“Don’t look so worried. Let’s keep it together,” Ace said before he gave me an encouraging smile.

“Yes, we have to…” I replied readily in agreement.

It probably took too long for me to realize that he was putting in extra effort to take care of me in his

own way. Although he had already apologized properly last night, Ace might be just as worried as I was

that what happened might have put an unnecessary strain on our relationship. Maybe this was his way

of trying to make up with me. That or I was just overthinking things.

“Ace, you’re here!” Julianna exclaimed as she shot up from her seat.
