Full Involvement

“Well, let me ask her…” Ace said before removing his phone from the side of his face.

I kept staring at his face and then he turned to face me directly. My heartbeat sped up as I wondered what Elizabeth had just told Ace because it seemed to concern me.

“Rina, Elizabeth wants to meet but it’s very late now, so she’s asking if you’re free tomorrow…” Ace informed me.

“She wants to meet me too?” I asked without hiding my surprise.

It made sense for her to meet up with Ace, but I didn’t quite understand why she wanted me to join them. The merger and her issues with her father did not directly involve me like it did with Ace.

“Apparently so…” Ace replied with a small shrug of his shoulders.

Although Ace did not look confused, I could tell that he didn’t quite know why Elizabeth would want me to join their meeting. It would be too extreme to say that I had a bad feeling about it at the time.

“Is it fine for me to come along?” I asked.
