Chapter65

"No. why?"

"Well, I know you've not completely gotten over that sad issue," which was true, "so, I wanted us to hang out tomorrow."

"Hm, where?"

"We could go to places where you'd have fun. I just want you to feel okay."

She smiled.

"That's a good idea. Sure."

I smiled back.

"Great, honey. Should I pick you up?"

"Yeah," she took a piece of paper and wrote something down, "Here, my address."

I took it.

"Okay, then."

"Okay."

I leaned over her table and kissed her cheek. Couldn't resist. She blushed.

"Have a good day, boss."

"You– you too, Ace."

I stood up and left the office.

Heather's POV:

Ace was a darling! He was so sweet and affectionate with me. We'd only known each other for a few months but I felt like we'd known each other long ago. That girl he was dating was really lucky. Somewhere within me, I wished I were her. But for the moment, I'd decided to stay clear of men and relationships.
