Encounter

“This is one of my family’s estates. It currently belongs to my father after it’s been passed down in the family,” Ace explained as if he could read my mind.

“Oh…” I murmured as my eyes canned the mansion up and down.

“As much as I would like to say that you’re welcomed, my father isn’t going to like seeing us,” Ace said before he chuckled like he couldn’t care less.

“The Chairman is in there?” I asked without any excitement.

Ace nodded his head before he offered me a smile that was supposed to heal my bleeding heart. It seemed like I wasn’t overreacting at all in the car when I considered that it may be possible that we would be meeting his father. I felt my heart sink and I hesitated to get out of the car. Ace got out and walked over to my side of the car before yanking the door open.

“Come on. You’ll have to get out sooner or later so we might as well get this over and done with,” Ace said with a small laugh.
