Life is Short

Ace seemed surprised for the first time since I stepped into his personal office. I should have known that question would have sounded weird. It was also very straightforward; however, I didn’t want to evade it any longer. I just had to know his thoughts on this and because of that, I decided to wait in silence for Ace’s answer.

“Nothing,” he replied simply.

“Nothing?” I repeated his reply in surprise.

I hadn’t thought that the answer that he arrived to after being surprised and putting his thought into it would be so simple.

“Nothing. Nothing will change between us. Just because I won’t be working here anymore doesn’t mean that anything will change between us. Well, I’ll no longer be your boss and you won’t be my secretary anymore but that doesn’t have anything to do with our relationship,” Ace explained calmly.

I guess that did kind of make sense…

“Umm…do you really mean that?” I asked just to make sure.
