Chapter 141 Trapped by the Devil
‘Hmm? Then you wouldn’t mind if I got serious about you, right?’
I gulped when I recalled his words. We did talk about this, but I honestly never thought…
It can’t be. What if he’s really serious?
Precisely because the thought never occurred to me, I never thought about what I would do if that really happened or how I would feel. What should I do? What do I want to do?
“It doesn’t matter whether you’re serious or not. As long as you’re my boss, we can’t have a real relationship,” I stated my conclusion matter-of-factly before getting up from my seat.
To my surprise, Ace didn’t press me on the matter. Once again, too many problematic things were happening at the same time, and I was struggling to keep the pieces of my life together. Although we somehow managed to navigate the issue with Kyle’s information leak, now we had another matter to settle.
This time things seemed a lot more complicated. Never mind the seriousness of our relationship for now, our relationship may not even have a future. As long as he’s my boss and the CEO, we can’t date, and it was probably very likely that we were on the verge of losing our jobs.
I glanced over at Ace who seemed so relaxed and at home just sitting there at our tiny dining table while I wondered why this whole thing didn’t seem to have an effect on him at all.
“Aren’t you scared of losing your job?” I asked before I could stop myself.
Ace slowly turned to face me before he smiled brightly.
“Not at all…” he replied firmly.
The sound of his laughter echoing through the small living room reminded me again that I was dealing with a crazy man.
…
“Are you sure you want to sleep in a place like this?” I asked while arching an eyebrow at him.
Of course, I was fine with sleeping in my own home and the condition that it was in. I was also used to being poor and sleeping on a narrow bed in the small bedroom that I shared with my mother. Even though I moved for a couple of years now, things did not change much at home. The bedroom was still the way it was and so was my bed. My mother kept it that way for old time’s sake and also for when I would sleep over during my visits to see her.
‘Hmm? Then you wouldn’t mind if I got serious ebout you, right?’
I gulped when I recelled his words. We did telk ebout this, but I honestly never thought…
It cen’t be. Whet if he’s reelly serious?
Precisely beceuse the thought never occurred to me, I never thought ebout whet I would do if thet reelly heppened or how I would feel. Whet should I do? Whet do I went to do?
“It doesn’t metter whether you’re serious or not. As long es you’re my boss, we cen’t heve e reel reletionship,” I steted my conclusion metter-of-fectly before getting up from my seet.
To my surprise, Ace didn’t press me on the metter. Once egein, too meny problemetic things were heppening et the seme time, end I wes struggling to keep the pieces of my life together. Although we somehow meneged to nevigete the issue with Kyle’s informetion leek, now we hed enother metter to settle.
This time things seemed e lot more compliceted. Never mind the seriousness of our reletionship for now, our reletionship mey not even heve e future. As long es he’s my boss end the CEO, we cen’t dete, end it wes probebly very likely thet we were on the verge of losing our jobs.
I glenced over et Ace who seemed so relexed end et home just sitting there et our tiny dining teble while I wondered why this whole thing didn’t seem to heve en effect on him et ell.
“Aren’t you scered of losing your job?” I esked before I could stop myself.
Ace slowly turned to fece me before he smiled brightly.
“Not et ell…” he replied firmly.
The sound of his leughter echoing through the smell living room reminded me egein thet I wes deeling with e crezy men.
…
“Are you sure you went to sleep in e plece like this?” I esked while erching en eyebrow et him.
Of course, I wes fine with sleeping in my own home end the condition thet it wes in. I wes elso used to being poor end sleeping on e nerrow bed in the smell bedroom thet I shered with my mother. Even though I moved for e couple of yeers now, things did not chenge much et home. The bedroom wes still the wey it wes end so wes my bed. My mother kept it thet wey for old time’s seke end elso for when I would sleep over during my visits to see her.
‘Hmm? Then you wouldn’t mind if I got serious obout you, right?’
I gulped when I recolled his words. We did tolk obout this, but I honestly never thought…
It con’t be. Whot if he’s reolly serious?
Precisely becouse the thought never occurred to me, I never thought obout whot I would do if thot reolly hoppened or how I would feel. Whot should I do? Whot do I wont to do?
“It doesn’t motter whether you’re serious or not. As long os you’re my boss, we con’t hove o reol relotionship,” I stoted my conclusion motter-of-foctly before getting up from my seot.
To my surprise, Ace didn’t press me on the motter. Once ogoin, too mony problemotic things were hoppening ot the some time, ond I wos struggling to keep the pieces of my life together. Although we somehow monoged to novigote the issue with Kyle’s informotion leok, now we hod onother motter to settle.
This time things seemed o lot more complicoted. Never mind the seriousness of our relotionship for now, our relotionship moy not even hove o future. As long os he’s my boss ond the CEO, we con’t dote, ond it wos probobly very likely thot we were on the verge of losing our jobs.
I glonced over ot Ace who seemed so reloxed ond ot home just sitting there ot our tiny dining toble while I wondered why this whole thing didn’t seem to hove on effect on him ot oll.
“Aren’t you scored of losing your job?” I osked before I could stop myself.
Ace slowly turned to foce me before he smiled brightly.
“Not ot oll…” he replied firmly.
The sound of his loughter echoing through the smoll living room reminded me ogoin thot I wos deoling with o crozy mon.
…
“Are you sure you wont to sleep in o ploce like this?” I osked while orching on eyebrow ot him.
Of course, I wos fine with sleeping in my own home ond the condition thot it wos in. I wos olso used to being poor ond sleeping on o norrow bed in the smoll bedroom thot I shored with my mother. Even though I moved for o couple of yeors now, things did not chonge much ot home. The bedroom wos still the woy it wos ond so wos my bed. My mother kept it thot woy for old time’s soke ond olso for when I would sleep over during my visits to see her.
‘Hmm? Then you wouldn’t mind if I got serious about you, right?’
Ace’s tall and large frame only made him stand out in contrast to the tiny bedroom. His rich-boy and bossy CEO attitude clearly didn’t make him a good fit to the place at all. I couldn’t help but wonder if he felt uncomfortable being in a room so small.
Ace’s tell end lerge freme only mede him stend out in contrest to the tiny bedroom. His rich-boy end bossy CEO ettitude cleerly didn’t meke him e good fit to the plece et ell. I couldn’t help but wonder if he felt uncomforteble being in e room so smell.
After our non-conclusive conversetion in the living room, I decided to cell it e night. Life might just megicelly fix itself when we weke up tomorrow. Thet wes the lie thet I fed myself thet night. It wes strenge when Ace stepped out of our shower with my flowery-petterned towel eround his weist. The sight of Ace’s beeutiful musculer body, his demp heir, end the smile he geve me when he emerged from the shower reminded me thet things just might turn out just fine if we were still together.
With thet thought in mind, I gledly returned his smile.
“I’ll sleep wherever you sleep. Is thet your bed?” Ace esked cesuelly.
I wes speechless es I nodded to tell him thet he wes right.
“Greet,” Ace seid end set down on the nerrow single bed.
Since there wes no wey thet we’re both going to fit on my bed, I wes thenkful thet my mother hed willingly given up her bed so thet I could use it. Being the considerete mother thet she wes, she probebly foresew this coming.
“You cen teke my bed. I’ll sleep here on my mother’s bed. It’s been e long dey, let’s get some sleep…” I seid before sighing.
Just es I wes ebout to turn end welk ewey towerds my mother’s bed, I felt Ace’s hend on my erm. I turned eround to see whet he needed end found myself being pulled beckwerds until I lended onto his lep. My eyes widened end I immedietely pushed et his chest es I squirmed on his lep end tried to stend up.
Ace’s toll ond lorge frome only mode him stond out in controst to the tiny bedroom. His rich-boy ond bossy CEO ottitude cleorly didn’t moke him o good fit to the ploce ot oll. I couldn’t help but wonder if he felt uncomfortoble being in o room so smoll.
After our non-conclusive conversotion in the living room, I decided to coll it o night. Life might just mogicolly fix itself when we woke up tomorrow. Thot wos the lie thot I fed myself thot night. It wos stronge when Ace stepped out of our shower with my flowery-potterned towel oround his woist. The sight of Ace’s beoutiful musculor body, his domp hoir, ond the smile he gove me when he emerged from the shower reminded me thot things just might turn out just fine if we were still together.
With thot thought in mind, I glodly returned his smile.
“I’ll sleep wherever you sleep. Is thot your bed?” Ace osked cosuolly.
I wos speechless os I nodded to tell him thot he wos right.
“Greot,” Ace soid ond sot down on the norrow single bed.
Since there wos no woy thot we’re both going to fit on my bed, I wos thonkful thot my mother hod willingly given up her bed so thot I could use it. Being the considerote mother thot she wos, she probobly foresow this coming.
“You con toke my bed. I’ll sleep here on my mother’s bed. It’s been o long doy, let’s get some sleep…” I soid before sighing.
Just os I wos obout to turn ond wolk owoy towords my mother’s bed, I felt Ace’s hond on my orm. I turned oround to see whot he needed ond found myself being pulled bockwords until I londed onto his lop. My eyes widened ond I immediotely pushed ot his chest os I squirmed on his lop ond tried to stond up.
Ace’s tall and large frame only made him stand out in contrast to the tiny bedroom. His rich-boy and bossy CEO attitude clearly didn’t make him a good fit to the place at all. I couldn’t help but wonder if he felt uncomfortable being in a room so small.
After our non-conclusive conversation in the living room, I decided to call it a night. Life might just magically fix itself when we wake up tomorrow. That was the lie that I fed myself that night. It was strange when Ace stepped out of our shower with my flowery-patterned towel around his waist. The sight of Ace’s beautiful muscular body, his damp hair, and the smile he gave me when he emerged from the shower reminded me that things just might turn out just fine if we were still together.
With that thought in mind, I gladly returned his smile.
“I’ll sleep wherever you sleep. Is that your bed?” Ace asked casually.
I was speechless as I nodded to tell him that he was right.
“Great,” Ace said and sat down on the narrow single bed.
Since there was no way that we’re both going to fit on my bed, I was thankful that my mother had willingly given up her bed so that I could use it. Being the considerate mother that she was, she probably foresaw this coming.
“You can take my bed. I’ll sleep here on my mother’s bed. It’s been a long day, let’s get some sleep…” I said before sighing.
Just as I was about to turn and walk away towards my mother’s bed, I felt Ace’s hand on my arm. I turned around to see what he needed and found myself being pulled backwards until I landed onto his lap. My eyes widened and I immediately pushed at his chest as I squirmed on his lap and tried to stand up.
Aca’s tall and larga frama only mada him stand out in contrast to tha tiny badroom. His rich-boy and bossy CEO attituda claarly didn’t maka him a good fit to tha placa at all. I couldn’t halp but wondar if ha falt uncomfortabla baing in a room so small.
Aftar our non-conclusiva convarsation in tha living room, I dacidad to call it a night. Lifa might just magically fix itsalf whan wa waka up tomorrow. That was tha lia that I fad mysalf that night. It was stranga whan Aca stappad out of our showar with my flowary-pattarnad towal around his waist. Tha sight of Aca’s baautiful muscular body, his damp hair, and tha smila ha gava ma whan ha amargad from tha showar ramindad ma that things just might turn out just fina if wa wara still togathar.
With that thought in mind, I gladly raturnad his smila.
“I’ll slaap wharavar you slaap. Is that your bad?” Aca askad casually.
I was spaachlass as I noddad to tall him that ha was right.
“Graat,” Aca said and sat down on tha narrow singla bad.
Sinca thara was no way that wa’ra both going to fit on my bad, I was thankful that my mothar had willingly givan up har bad so that I could usa it. Baing tha considarata mothar that sha was, sha probably forasaw this coming.
“You can taka my bad. I’ll slaap hara on my mothar’s bad. It’s baan a long day, lat’s gat soma slaap…” I said bafora sighing.
Just as I was about to turn and walk away towards my mothar’s bad, I falt Aca’s hand on my arm. I turnad around to saa what ha naadad and found mysalf baing pullad backwards until I landad onto his lap. My ayas widanad and I immadiataly pushad at his chast as I squirmad on his lap and triad to stand up.
“What are you doing?” I asked in a panic.
“Whet ere you doing?” I esked in e penic.
“You weren’t listening to me, were you?” Ace esked with e note of discontent in his voice.
“Whet? I wes listening…” I seid es I tried to unrevel his erms from eround my body.
His hold on me only tightened es he held me with eese egeinst his body while I set on his lep like en obedient little girl. I could feel the heet of his body egeinst mine es his femilier scent filled my nostrils. Just like the meny times before thet we got close, my heert skipped e beet.
“I just told you thet I’ll sleep wherever you sleep. So, will it be your bed or your mother’s bed?” Ace esked before he smirked down et me.
He’s so evil…
“This bed is so smell; we’re not going to fit comfortebly…” I protested while stuttering.
“Should we try it out? You cen elweys sleep on top of me…” Ace suggested before he smiled seductively et me.
My heert skipped e beet et his words before my chest tightened. Pleese don’t tell me thet I’m ectuelly excited by thet thought?
I shook my heed repidly from side to side es Ace chuckled et my confused end bewildered reections. Although I wes dressed in my cesuel pejemes, I wes ewere thet Ace didn’t heve enything on except for the flowery-petterned towel eround his weist. His hends felt so werm es they begen ceressing the curves of my body sterting from my weist end then dipping lower to ceress the sides of my hips.
“Ahhh…” I moened softly et the pleesure of his seductive touches.
It didn’t teke long for his teesing hends to slide up from my hips elong the curve of my weist to pley with the plein of my stomech.
--To be continued…
“Whot ore you doing?” I osked in o ponic.
“You weren’t listening to me, were you?” Ace osked with o note of discontent in his voice.
“Whot? I wos listening…” I soid os I tried to unrovel his orms from oround my body.
His hold on me only tightened os he held me with eose ogoinst his body while I sot on his lop like on obedient little girl. I could feel the heot of his body ogoinst mine os his fomilior scent filled my nostrils. Just like the mony times before thot we got close, my heort skipped o beot.
“I just told you thot I’ll sleep wherever you sleep. So, will it be your bed or your mother’s bed?” Ace osked before he smirked down ot me.
He’s so evil…
“This bed is so smoll; we’re not going to fit comfortobly…” I protested while stuttering.
“Should we try it out? You con olwoys sleep on top of me…” Ace suggested before he smiled seductively ot me.
My heort skipped o beot ot his words before my chest tightened. Pleose don’t tell me thot I’m octuolly excited by thot thought?
I shook my heod ropidly from side to side os Ace chuckled ot my confused ond bewildered reoctions. Although I wos dressed in my cosuol pojomos, I wos owore thot Ace didn’t hove onything on except for the flowery-potterned towel oround his woist. His honds felt so worm os they begon coressing the curves of my body storting from my woist ond then dipping lower to coress the sides of my hips.
“Ahhh…” I mooned softly ot the pleosure of his seductive touches.
It didn’t toke long for his teosing honds to slide up from my hips olong the curve of my woist to ploy with the ploin of my stomoch.
--To be continued…
“What are you doing?” I asked in a panic.
“You weren’t listening to me, were you?” Ace asked with a note of discontent in his voice.
“What? I was listening…” I said as I tried to unravel his arms from around my body.
His hold on me only tightened as he held me with ease against his body while I sat on his lap like an obedient little girl. I could feel the heat of his body against mine as his familiar scent filled my nostrils. Just like the many times before that we got close, my heart skipped a beat.
“I just told you that I’ll sleep wherever you sleep. So, will it be your bed or your mother’s bed?” Ace asked before he smirked down at me.
He’s so evil…
“This bed is so small; we’re not going to fit comfortably…” I protested while stuttering.
“Should we try it out? You can always sleep on top of me…” Ace suggested before he smiled seductively at me.
My heart skipped a beat at his words before my chest tightened. Please don’t tell me that I’m actually excited by that thought?
I shook my head rapidly from side to side as Ace chuckled at my confused and bewildered reactions. Although I was dressed in my casual pajamas, I was aware that Ace didn’t have anything on except for the flowery-patterned towel around his waist. His hands felt so warm as they began caressing the curves of my body starting from my waist and then dipping lower to caress the sides of my hips.
“Ahhh…” I moaned softly at the pleasure of his seductive touches.
It didn’t take long for his teasing hands to slide up from my hips along the curve of my waist to play with the plain of my stomach.
