Why He Invited Me

“Just like I said. Don’t worry, they’re working hard to investigate the issue,” Ace said before he took my hand in his.

To my surprise, he kissed the back of my hand tenderly. The softness and warmth of his lips against the back of my hand made my heart skip a beat, and for a moment, I forgot what I wanted to say.

“But how can they investigate the issue without talking to me about it?” I asked in wonder.

“They’ll call for you when they are ready. This is a sensitive issue so they’re being extra careful and detailed about it,” Ace replied smoothly.

“I see…” I murmured.
