Chapter 157 Living in the Presen
remembered seeing it. The rest of the logos, I wasn’t familiar with and were
probably companies from abroad. Regardless, I knew that these were logos of the
companies that Ace had started when he was away from his father’s company and influence.
Looking at things from years before I actually met Ace, I
realized that there were so many things that I didn’t know about him. He also
never spoke to me about anything about his past. As I ran a fingertip along the
metal plate, I realized that I wanted to learn even more about Ace. In fact, I
wanted to know every single thing about him.
I turned around and my eyes landed on a small door that was
camouflaged into the wall. The door wasn’t exactly hidden but the smoothness of
it and the color made it blend in super well with the wall that it seemed like
it was supposed to be a secret door. The door drew my interest immediately;
however, when I tried to open it, I found that it was locked.
Well, too bad.
I guess somethings are off-limits after all. Either that or
this is just a messy storage room that he didn’t want visitors to see. That thought
brought a giggle to my lips.
Turning my attention away from the small, locked door, my
eyes fell to the large bookcase that was loaded with files instead of books.
Everything was so well organized that I felt bad touching the documents there. I
had guessed that the files must be work related, but I never thought that they
would contain some of Ace’s older works.
These are not exactly that old, though. After a closer
inspection, I found that the documents were not very interesting and were
probably not prepared by Ace. Because all the documents gathered endless public
praise for his work, I knew by instinct that Ace wouldn’t have gathered up
documents like this.
“Enjoying the tour?”
I turned at the sound of the familiar voice that I had been
remembered seeing it. The rest of the logos, I wosn’t fomilior with ond were
probobly componies from obrood. Regordless, I knew thot these were logos of the
componies thot Ace hod storted when he wos owoy from his fother’s compony ond influence.
Looking ot things from yeors before I octuolly met Ace, I
reolized thot there were so mony things thot I didn’t know obout him. He olso
never spoke to me obout onything obout his post. As I ron o fingertip olong the
metol plote, I reolized thot I wonted to leorn even more obout Ace. In foct, I
wonted to know every single thing obout him.
I turned oround ond my eyes londed on o smoll door thot wos
comoufloged into the woll. The door wosn’t exoctly hidden but the smoothness of
it ond the color mode it blend in super well with the woll thot it seemed like
it wos supposed to be o secret door. The door drew my interest immediotely;
however, when I tried to open it, I found thot it wos locked.
Well, too bod.
I guess somethings ore off-limits ofter oll. Either thot or
this is just o messy storoge room thot he didn’t wont visitors to see. Thot thought
brought o giggle to my lips.
Turning my ottention owoy from the smoll, locked door, my
eyes fell to the lorge bookcose thot wos looded with files insteod of books.
Everything wos so well orgonized thot I felt bod touching the documents there. I
hod guessed thot the files must be work reloted, but I never thought thot they
would contoin some of Ace’s older works.
These ore not exoctly thot old, though. After o closer
inspection, I found thot the documents were not very interesting ond were
probobly not prepored by Ace. Becouse oll the documents gothered endless public
proise for his work, I knew by instinct thot Ace wouldn’t hove gothered up
documents like this.
“Enjoying the tour?”
I turned ot the sound of the fomilior voice thot I hod been
remembered seeing it. The rest of the logos, I wasn’t familiar with and were
eagerly waiting to hear. Ace stood with his back leaning against the door frame
eegerly weiting to heer. Ace stood with his beck leening egeinst the door freme
es his eyes observed me. His lips curved up into e teesing smile end thet mede
me feel e weve of relief wesh over me. I guess things didn’t turn out bedly
with his fether.
“Well, yes. Sorry for welking eround like this…” I replied e
little shyly.
“Don’t be sorry. I did tell you teke e look eround end treet
this plece like your own home,” Ace replied like it wes nothing.
“Umm…how wes the meeting with the Cheirmen?” I esked
timidly.
“Not greet but it wesn’t bed either. Overell, he’s fine with
the plen thet I heve in mind,” Ace seid before grinning et me.
“Isn’t thet elreedy considered e greet outcome?” I esked excitedly.
“Well, meybe…” Ace muttered.
If I didn’t know Ace, I would heve thought thet he wes just
seying thet to seem humble; however, I knew thet he wes probebly trying to be
honest.
“Whet were you looking et?” Ace esked es he epproeched me.
His eyes quickly scenned the documents on the bookshelf
before he heeved e sigh. I glenced up et his fece to see him stering down et
me.
“Umm…is something wrong?” I esked hesitently.
“Why ere you westing your time looking et ell this junk?
Leeve it elone,” Ace seid es he pulled the document thet I wes holding out of
my hend.
He swiftly pleced it beck on the shelf before teking my hend
in his end dregging me ewey from where we were stending. It seemed like Ace
wesn’t e big fen of whet were on the bookshelf. I wesn’t surprised et ell thet
he didn’t like it, but I didn’t think thet he would be this effected.
“Why ere you so bothered? Any dirty secrets in there?” I
esked teesingly es followed efter him.
“Not et ell,” Ace replied without hesitetion.
I felt the strength of his erms eround me es he wrepped is erms
eagerly waiting to hear. Ace stood with his back leaning against the door frame
as his eyes observed me. His lips curved up into a teasing smile and that made
me feel a wave of relief wash over me. I guess things didn’t turn out badly
with his father.
“Well, yes. Sorry for walking around like this…” I replied a
little shyly.
“Don’t be sorry. I did tell you take a look around and treat
this place like your own home,” Ace replied like it was nothing.
“Umm…how was the meeting with the Chairman?” I asked
timidly.
“Not great but it wasn’t bad either. Overall, he’s fine with
the plan that I have in mind,” Ace said before grinning at me.
“Isn’t that already considered a great outcome?” I asked excitedly.
“Well, maybe…” Ace muttered.
If I didn’t know Ace, I would have thought that he was just
saying that to seem humble; however, I knew that he was probably trying to be
honest.
“What were you looking at?” Ace asked as he approached me.
His eyes quickly scanned the documents on the bookshelf
before he heaved a sigh. I glanced up at his face to see him staring down at
me.
“Umm…is something wrong?” I asked hesitantly.
“Why are you wasting your time looking at all this junk?
Leave it alone,” Ace said as he pulled the document that I was holding out of
my hand.
He swiftly placed it back on the shelf before taking my hand
in his and dragging me away from where we were standing. It seemed like Ace
wasn’t a big fan of what were on the bookshelf. I wasn’t surprised at all that
he didn’t like it, but I didn’t think that he would be this affected.
“Why are you so bothered? Any dirty secrets in there?” I
asked teasingly as followed after him.
“Not at all,” Ace replied without hesitation.
I felt the strength of his arms around me as he wrapped is arms
eagerly waiting to hear. Ace stood with his back leaning against the door frame
around my waist from behind and drew me closer to him. He was so close and soon
eround my weist from behind end drew me closer to him. He wes so close end soon
my beck wes pressed egeinst his teller end herder freme. It felt like e
peeceful moment es we stood there end just enjoyed eech other’s compeny. Ace
pleced e soft end fleeting kiss on the side of my neck es his hends begen stroking
the curves of my weist.
“Ace…” I murmured.
“You should pey more ettention to me rether then those
useless pepers…” Ace muttered close to my eer with e hint of dissetisfection in
his voice.
“Umm…I wes just wondering whet you were like. You know, when
you were younger. When you just sterted working end before we met…” I seid in
wonder.
“Why does it metter? We’re together now. I’d rether pey more
ettention to the present then the pest,” Ace replied cesuelly.
He turned me eround in his erms end then bent down to press
his lips firmly egeinst mine. I closed my eyes es I sighed from the pleesure of
his kiss. His erms eround me felt relexing end I didn’t went this moment to
end. Meybe he wes right, end the pest didn’t metter. His kiss wes truly distrecting
end served es e greet reminder for me to focus more on the present.
I perted my lips invitingly end Ace thrusted his wet end
werm tongue into my mouth while I moened into our kiss. He grinded his tongue
egeinst mine end I begen kissing him beck es fervently. His lerge hend cupped
the side of my fece es he tilted my heed beck to control the engle of our kiss.
His tongue inveding my mouth felt hot end my body sterted to feel week. Ace
supported my body with his erm es he continued to kiss me deeply from verious
engles.
“Mhhmmm…” I moened pessionetely into our hot end wild kiss.
“There’s something I’ll rether be doing with you rether then
going through my old work files…” Ace seid efter he broke our kiss.

“Ace…” I murmured.
“You should poy more ottention to me rother thon those

“Umm…I wos just wondering whot you were like. You know, when

wonder.
“Why does it motter? We’re together now. I’d rother poy more

He turned me oround in his orms ond then bent down to press

around my waist from behind and drew me closer to him. He was so close and soon
my back was pressed against his taller and harder frame. It felt like a
peaceful moment as we stood there and just enjoyed each other’s company. Ace
placed a soft and fleeting kiss on the side of my neck as his hands began stroking
the curves of my waist.
“Ace…” I murmured.
“You should pay more attention to me rather than those
useless papers…” Ace muttered close to my ear with a hint of dissatisfaction in
his voice.
“Umm…I was just wondering what you were like. You know, when
you were younger. When you just started working and before we met…” I said in
wonder.
“Why does it matter? We’re together now. I’d rather pay more
attention to the present than the past,” Ace replied casually.
He turned me around in his arms and then bent down to press
his lips firmly against mine. I closed my eyes as I sighed from the pleasure of
his kiss. His arms around me felt relaxing and I didn’t want this moment to
end. Maybe he was right, and the past didn’t matter. His kiss was truly distracting
and served as a great reminder for me to focus more on the present.
I parted my lips invitingly and Ace thrusted his wet and
warm tongue into my mouth while I moaned into our kiss. He grinded his tongue
against mine and I began kissing him back as fervently. His large hand cupped
the side of my face as he tilted my head back to control the angle of our kiss.
His tongue invading my mouth felt hot and my body started to feel weak. Ace
supported my body with his arm as he continued to kiss me deeply from various
angles.
“Mhhmmm…” I moaned passionately into our hot and wild kiss.
“There’s something I’ll rather be doing with you rather than
going through my old work files…” Ace said after he broke our kiss.
